Bite Me

Some gentrified shops aren't really targeted for me. So I walked by the combination coffee shop/clothing store near Dundas St. and Dovercourt for years without venturing in. Then it became a vegetarian take-out place called The Goods (which has since moved to Roncesvalles). Now it has turned into Steambox Dumplings.

On Saturday, I finally stepped inside for a quick sample. At 3 for $5, these grilled dumplings were more expensive (and smaller) than the ones in the various dumpling houses. The shrimp was average but the vegan Yam Chipotle was different and interesting. This place wouldn't be able to compete on price or the usual ingredients. But if you were vegetarian or wanted healthier ingredients, this is a good choice.

The frozen box ($15) or the main dish with six dumplings plus a side ($17) while still expensive may be a better deal.
