Dumpling House · Hillsboro Village
Dumpling House won the Nashville Scene readers' poll for Chinese in 2024. The Hillsboro Village counter turns out hand-folded dumplings, pork and chive among them, finished with a crisp pan-fried lace on the bottom, plus a long boba menu. Lines form at peak hours.
China Cottage · Madison
China Cottage serves hot pots and Cantonese classics like crab rangoon and lo mein from an unassuming family-owned strip-mall dining room on Gallatin Pike, and it placed second to Lucky Bamboo in the Scene's Chinese readers' poll two years running.
