Homemade Shrimp Wontons from my Mom’s friend…underground guerrilla operation, homemade dipping sauce of black vinegar, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, and soy by me.

Vegetable Pan Fried Dumplings


Steamed Dumplings with Squash


House Special Stuffed Buns

Overall, my dining companion and I really enjoyed our meal, though the House Special Stuffed Buns were our favorites. We will likely try the lamb dumplings and something else next time, as we found the vegetarian ones a little too light for our palates that evening.

Filling? :slight_smile:

Oops sorry. 4 beef tingas and 4 Kailua pork. Would heartily recommend both with chimichurri as well as their banana Nutella empanada.

I’ve always wondered about this place. I’ve frequently gone to World Empanada in Burbank and, for my fried fix, Mercado Burnos Aires in Van Nuys (more traditional.)

Are all the empanadas at JP fried? They look good.

Vastly superior to world empanadas IMO

Dumplings filled with ground meat and mashed potatoes served in chicken noodle soup.

Potato Knish w/Chicken Gravy


Flaky, golden pastry stuffed with mashed potatoes. I asked the waiter if he considered the knish a dumpling. He shrugged and said “I always have.” Sounds good to me.

I get no respect

Is this an inside joke?

Nah, I just thought his comment sounded like something Rodney Dangerfield would post if he were on FTC.

Perfect

Delicious gnocchi with braised lamb, (watermelon?) radishes, and goat cheese at M.B. Post tonight - just a tad too much added salt on the dish but the gnocchi themselves were perfect.
