WE'RE GROWING. NEXT BATCH LATE FALL.
More Than Dumplings
Papa Chiang's didn't begin as a business. It began with watching my parents slow down.
For decades, my father cooked. His journey started in Shanghai and continued in New York, where he immigrated in the 1980s and opened Happy Family, a Chinese restaurant in Hell's Kitchen. When health issues made it impossible for him to continue working, something inside of him went quiet.
Making dumplings again changed that. What began as a favor became Papa Chiang's—an invite-only, pre-order passion project from 2015 to 2020. Now, ten years after I sent out the first order form, I'm continuing the story.
Papa Chiang's has always been about more than dumplings. It's about memory, purpose, and belonging—and creating space for people to know they still matter.
Food that remembers.
