Soup Dumplings - South of Boston

Craving some soup dumplings, but can't make the trip into Boston everytime I want them. I live down near the Brockton area and I am looking for any restaurants south of Boston that have soup dumplings on their menu.

Also, does anyone know if there is such a thing as frozen soup dumplings? I looked in the Kam Man market in Quicy over the weekend, but did not see any.

Thanks for all your help.

    Kan Man has them, in the frozen area on the side of the store.. I think they are called 'soupy dumplings". I've tried 'em, frankly, not worth the calories compared to a well-made soup dumpling (and I've had them in Philly, NYC, and Shanghai).

    Not horrid, but I can find other types of frozen dumplings that cook up better at home.

        Yes there are frozen xlb in many of the Asian supermarkets, cmart for sure, they aren't as good as good versions at restaurants but can beat the bad ones in many of the restaurants.
