Full Steam Dumpling
Full Steam Dumpling is a pop-up-turned-permanent spot known for its handmade ramen and gyoza, including seasonally rotating vegan options such as mushroom and tofu dumplings. The menu focuses on Japanese and Sichuan flavors, served in a communal, artsy setting within the Santa Cruz Art Center, featuring accessible seating and a patio. Prices are on the higher side, with dishes like vegan gyoza at $14 for five pieces, but portions are generous and dishes such as the vegan ramen receive strong praise.
