Background
About Dr. Zhang
The Story
Dr. Zhang opened in 2018 in Sant Antoni under the rallying cry #FeelingDumpling, bringing the Chinese tradition of jiaozi to a corner of the Eixample better known for its market and aperitivo bars. The original Sepúlveda 137 dumpling bar has since been joined by a second, larger location, Dr. Zhang Dumplings & More, on Carrer Aribau 254.
The Cuisine
The kitchen specializes in hand-folded dumplings, jiaozi, gyozas, wantons, shao mai, momos and bao, paired with pan-Asian dishes that pull from Chinese, Korean, Thai and Japanese cooking. Expect dan dan noodles, red curry laksa, Korean-style fried chicken, duck-and-date gyozas and corn ribs glazed with miso-lime butter. Several items are marked vegetarian or vegan.
The Team
The dumplings are prepared in-house from dough to filling. The team draws on the founders' time spent in Asia, adapting traditional techniques to ingredients available in Barcelona while keeping prices accessible.

Dr. Zhang Dining Experience
The Sepúlveda dumpling bar is small and casual, with red lanterns, lucky-cat figurines and an open kitchen behind the counter. It's an unfussy neighborhood spot built around the food rather than the decor.
