Fresh dumplings made to order in East Lansing

Watching your dumplings get hand-filled and cooked right in front of you is now a reality at Dough Square, East Lansing’s newest spot for authentic, handmade dumplings. The menu covers everything from chicken and pork to vegetarian options, with each dumpling made only after you order—no shortcuts here! I tried the pork and scallion steamed and the pan-fried veggie dumplings, and both were packed with flavor, especially with their house-made sauces. If you’re craving real-deal Chinese comfort food, this place is a must-try. Who else is excited to see more unique eats popping up around town? #Food #EastLansingEats #Dumplings
