One of those restaurants, Chin's Kitchen on Northeast Broadway Street and Northeast 42nd Avenue, is participating again after a successful run last year. This time around, Chin's Kitchen is showcasing six different dumplings. The restaurant's owner said she expects to sell thousands of dumplings this week. It's a win-win situation for both business owners and dumpling lovers alike. 

"Crazy! We sold about 2,000 to 3,000 dumplings a day," said Chins Kitchen owner Wendy Li.

Other restaurants featured include Cibo and Ecliptic Brewing, which are serving up dumplings inspired by classic Italian and Ukrainian flavors respectively.
