Continuing to satisfy my crave for dumplings and noodles, my mom and I went to Earthen, one of the restaurants that was praised for their delicious dumplings. Haven’t been back for over 2 years, I was hoping the quality of the dumplings hasn’t gone down.
Hoping to have missed the lunch rush, I got there close to 2 pm, but there were still a lot of people eating and waiting. All I could do was put my name down and wait. After about 15 minutes, one of the tables was leaving. Once the table was cleared off, we sat down. While waiting for our table, we already looked through the menu. Also, I knew exactly what I wanted before stepping into the restaurant.
Food Rundown
Beef Noodle Soup
On the menu, it had a tiny red pepper next to it, which means it was supposed to be spicy. And I was hoping for a bowl of spicy beef noodles. What we got instead was nothing close to spicy nor was it flavorful. The soup looked red like it was spicy. I was hoping that it may have just been because it was so close to their lunch break that they didn’t bother making it good. I know that sounds bad of them, but I rather not wished it was their cooking quality. Though the beef chunks were tender and the noodles were pretty good.
Potstickers
These were perfectly crispy on one side and the filling was flavorful. How potstickers should be.
Fish Dumplings
Fish dumplings aren’t as popular as pork and chives or pork and cabbage, but if you’re looking for something simple, delicate, and smooth, give fish dumplings a try. These were perfect.
