2.Xian Lao Man (AnDingMen)馅儿老满

You can also choose to get boiled or fried (Guo tie) dumplings for each type they make. I recommend getting the meat dumplings fried and the veggie dumplings boiled. This restaurant is a chain, their service is a bit slow at lunchtime and they don’t accept credit card, so prepare cash before you go.
