Charlie Gilhuly, who opened Grammie’s Donuts & Biscuits in the Article Road room in mid-February, has followed up with Little Dumpling House. He introduced the Asian-impressed takeout menu, with dishes like dumplings, rangoons, fried rice, noodles and sushi bowls, in mid-July.
“This menu is seriously, really strong, chef-pushed foods to go, and it genuinely hits the Asian takeout itch,” he said.
Gilhuly had been taking into consideration other menus and principles for the house and decided to go forward with the Asian-type fare. He is doing the job with his spouse, Molly Healey, an professional chef who joined the kitchen following leaving her job with Westport’s Manna Toast.
As ghost kitchen area concepts, neither Grammie’s or Little Dumpling Property give dine-in provider. While Grammie’s gives supply through Grubhub, the Dumpling menu is pickup only at the minute, Gilhuly mentioned. Pickups are out there Thursday as a result of Sunday from 4 to 9 p.m., with ideal time slots on a initially-appear, 1st-provide foundation.
The menu provides shumai, potstickers and Szechuan dumplings with rooster or pork filling to start, sunomono, or vinegar-pickled cucumber duck wonton soup and rangoons that go further than just crab, with caramelized onion or mushroom filling. Other veggie-centric alternatives contain carrot ginger and cabbage salads, mushroom fried rice, chilly soba noodles with shaved veggies and seasonal fruit, and charred broccoli.
Bigger plates involve chicken katsu, with crispy-fried rooster breast, sushi rice and sesame slaw, miso-glazed Atlantic cod and a build-your-personal duck buns option with steamed bao, crispy duck breast, housemade plum sauce and sunomono. Sushi bowls are topped with lobster salad, marinated bluefin tuna, hamachi or shiitake mushrooms. A kids’ box includes hen katsu, hen potstickers, fried rice, Chinese five-spice doughnut holes and blueberries.
The menu also features kits ($55 to $65) for greater meals, comprising numerous things. A spouse and children food kit presents two kids’ bins and foods for mom and dad: cabbage salad, bluefin sushi bowl, rangoons, potstickers and doughnut holes. A day-evening kit gives a shareable 3-course menu with sushi bowls, shumai, duck buns and a matcha cronut. A “healthier supper” package spotlights vegetable dishes and the miso-glazed cod.
