Seriously? Just this morning I listed off the numerous Asian eateries blossoming across Tucson only to discover that yet another has opened: China Pasta House at 430 N. Park Ave.
And while it is certainly of the Asian ilk – perhaps even more so than many Americanized Asian eateries in town – there is something else afoot here. For starters, they do authentic Chinese dumplings (rejoice!). They also do wonderful traditional dishes like warm soy milk and porridges, which make cold evenings like we’ve had lately into snuggly dinner times. For real.
You can check out the place online here. We’re heading down tomorrow for a bite and will be back with a full report before long.

This place is awesome. Recently moved from New York and being Chinese, I have yet to find a place that serves authentic dumplings in town. Had a long chat with the owner and she told me that she kneads the dough from scratch and wraps them all by hand. She tried the machine, but it didn’t get the right texture and flavor that you find back in the home town. For under $15/30 dumpling, you can’t go wrong.
