modest sized and unpretentious, wang's wood paneled dining area flaunts christmas cheer even in february.
in somerville, it's too cold outside to fire up the grill & relax under the grape arbor, so we recommend the corner table at wangs under their own vine of plastic purple grape lights. grab your tea from the self-serve dispenser and get up for refills often to work up your appetite. we tried all of the dumplings. delicious. steamed won out over pan fried, handily. if you're a dipper, you can use the side ginger sauce or create your own. tables come stocked with soy sauce, vinegar, and chili sauce. delicate, yet tenacious, wangs dumplings are mess-free even for the chopstick rookie. served with such speed, its hard to believe theyre handmade. peek into the kitchen and you'll be likely to see someone restocking the dumpling tray with a deft hand.
