CHARLOTTE — The Dumpling Lady plans to open its new South End location by late winter. The popular eatery expects to invest roughly $400,000 into a 1,350-square-feet location, John Nisbet says.
The restaurant will be located at 327 W. Tremont Ave. — formerly home to Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit. It is part of The Penrose, a 350-unit luxury multifamily community.
Nisbet and wife Zhang Qian — also head chef— are behind The Dumpling Lady. “We’ve been looking to expand for a year or two. South End has always been high on our radar,” Nisbet says.
A larger kitchen will allow Quian to grow The Dumpling Lady’s menu. It serves up authentic Szechuan-style dumplings and noodles. Food is handmade utilizing locally sourced meats and veggies. Traditional flavors incorporate chili oil made fresh with ingredients from the mountains of Sichuan, China and North Carolina.
