Mason's Dumpling Shop

From the team behind Monrovia's Luscious Dumplings comes Highland Park's first designated dumpling shop, complete with house-made sides like seaweed salad and sweet-and-sour lotus root. The vibe is casual and the menu here is brief, limited to a handful of boiled and fried dumplings, one or two bao and one or two rice bowls, but it's hard to go wrong. Unless, of course, you sleep in; get there early, because Mason's tends to sell out and once these dumplings are gone for the day, you'll have to come back tomorrow.
