Richmond BizSense Reporting VCU Will Soon Have Got Dumplings
Dumplings are awesome and I welcome this addition to my mouth.
I’m a huge fan of dumplings and still mourn Peter Chang’s dumpling place that closed out in Short Pump. This is good news.
Got Dumplings, founded in Charlottesville by sisters Phung Huynh and Kynnie Wong, is preparing to open in the former Deep Run Roadhouse space at 309 N. Laurel St.
The new Richmond location will be the second for Huynh and Wong, who started Got Dumplings in 2011 as a food truck before opening a brick-and-mortar spot for it near the University of Virginia campus.
Huynh also owns Poke Sushi Bowl, a concept she brought from Charlottesville to Richmond with her husband Bo Zhu in 2017. A year later they opened a second Poke location at 933 W. Broad St., just around the corner from Got Dumplings’ future home on Laurel.
