These aren’t your grandmother’s dumplings. These aren’t your grandfather’s dumplings, either. Well, one of them is. But I’m getting ahead of myself, so let’s go back to the beginning.

Ozi Dumplings, at 19 Bogart St., was quietly opened last November by Danny Cai and two partners. I first heard of the spot when I visited Amitoufo, which occupies the space next door. I’m a big fan of dumplings of all sorts, and I heard that Ozi does some untraditional stuff, so I thought I’d stop by.

I learned that, as is the case with many restaurants, Cai and crew opened Ozi out of a desire to recapture and share the flavors they loved in their childhood, putting a unique spin on them in the process.
