Stopped into Potsticker in Saint Paul and decided to go all in with their Potsticker Tour, which gives you two of every potsticker on the menu plus the four house sauces. On paper, it sounded like the ultimate sampler, and I loved the concept. In reality, the potstickers themselves were... fine. Not bad by any means, but nothing that made me stop mid-bite and say "wow." The variety was nice, though--meat, seafood, veggie, and vegan options--so everyone at the table could find something to enjoy. The sauces were the real game-changer. The gochujang sauce stood out as the clear favorite--bold, a little spicy, and the perfect balance of heat and tang. I could have dipped just about anything in it. The curry sauce, on the other hand, fell flat for me. It didn't have much depth and almost distracted from the potstickers instead of enhancing them. The other sauces sat somewhere in between, but at least there was variety. From there, things started to shine. The Surf and Turf Fried Rice was excellent--comfort food at its best. A generous portion that could easily be a standalone entrée, packed with both chicken and shrimp so you never felt like you were just eating filler rice. Savory, a little smoky from the wok, and something I'd order again without hesitation. The biggest surprise of the night? The Scallion Pancakes. They come three to an order for $12, which feels steep at first glance, but they were hands down the best thing on the table. Crisp and golden on the outside, soft and chewy inside, with just the right amount of onion flavor. They've clearly mastered this dish, and it stole the show. I'd honestly come back just for these pancakes and a side of that gochujang sauce. Overall, Potsticker is a fun spot with a creative menu. The potstickers themselves might not have lived up to the hype, but the sauces, fried rice, and scallion pancakes more than made up for it. If you're going, skip the tour and curate your own meal--you'll leave happier (and probably save a few bucks). read more
