RE: Dining at one of the top 10 gourmet restaurants in the world - 世界十大餐厅之一 (by @ace108)
Please tell me difference between dumplings as you describe and dim sum. I grew up in San Francisco and sometimes had fantastic food in Chinatown when I was young. Now I live in Portland OR and know of zero good places for Chinese food. Maybe someone can clue me?
I had a trip to Portland before when I was staying in Kansas City to 2+ years. I think you may want to drive to Vancouver (stopover at Seattle for coffee:-). They have quite the real deal here. Chinese food have different food translated to dumplings in English but generically calling something doesn't tell me what it really is. we have rice dumplings too. Some dumplings are subset of dim sum while others are outside the dim sum family but nowadays the line is less clear. Have a look at wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dim_sum
They have quite a good detail write up.
Being busybody I googled on: dim sum portland oregon
Seems you may be able to get something decent without travelling up north. :-)
