damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Kathy's Dumplings yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Cinnamon Society's Brooklyn dumpling roundup notes that Kathy's dumplings are "wrapped and steamed to order, which means you'll wait a bit longer for dumplings here than at other shops around the city," per the site's Best Soup Dumplings Brooklyn guide.
That made-to-order approach is framed as a tradeoff New Yorkers accept: the same source says "the difference in flavors is noticeable," positioning the extra counter wait as the price of fresher, hand-wrapped dumplings rather than a mass-produced batch.
