Ram & Rooster Dumplings

I noticed this place passing by on a Sat. Dumplings? hmmm the sound of dumplings doesn’t really get me excited but I’m always down to support some young ladies trying to do their thang haha so I went. I ordered the six dumplings for 7 $. It took awhile to for me to get them, almost 10 to 15 min. I liked them and the sauce was very tasty.

To my knowledge, Ram & Rooster is the only dumpling stand in Seattle right now, and they have a good thing going! $ 7 for 6 plump handmade dumplings cooked to order… plan to wait around 10 minutes or so if they’re busy.
My friend and I split a sampler of the three dumpling varieties… pork, chicken, and a vegan rendition involving mushrooms and other vegetable goodness. The fillings were all top-​notch, though the dumpling skins were a touch on the doughy side… not sure if a thinner roll or longer cook time would remedy this. We were too full to try the pancakes also offered, but I did get a fresh lychee lemonade, which was a refreshingly sweet complement to the dumplings’ savory spice.
Definitely give Ram & Rooster a stop-​by if you can… not sure what their regular hours are in Pioneer Square, so check their website!

You must stop here and have a couple dumplings if you happen to be in Pioneer Square on a Saturday afternoon. I stumbled upon the Ram & Rooster Dumpings stand while doing some sightseeing.
I tried out their pork and chicken dumpings and they were wonderful. I talked dumpling making technique with the crew while they were pan frying up my dumpings. I like their attention to detail and am amazed by their perseverance to handmake 1,000 of these dumplings each week. They hand roll fresh dumpling skins instead of buying pre-​made dumpling skins. It gives the dumpling skin a much better texture and taste. Their meat fillings were quite good as well. Both the pork and chicken are worth trying. They also had a nice homemade special sauce to dip your dumplings in addition to the standard sauces. I just wish I was hungrier so I could have tried other things on their menu.
Overall a great way to enjoy sitting in Occidental Park on a beautiful afternoon. I’ll definitely have more of their dumplings next time I’m in Seattle. They also have another stand at the Meadowbrook Farmers Market. (You can find reviews on Unilocal too)
