The dumpling-makers were hard at work behind the counter, but on a Saturday morning the most popular breakfast items were warm, oily chive pancakes (two for $1.50) also filled with glass noodles and, perhaps, a very few bits of egg. For one couple dining in, the full breakfast set included a half-pint each of warm soy milk, drunk directly from a plastic takeout container.
