West Seattle restaurants: By request, a Dumplings of Fury update

Of all the on-the-way West Seattle restaurants, none has generated anywhere near as many “update, please!” requests as has Dumplings of Fury, coming to the ex-Quadrato space at 4302 SW Oregon in The Junction.

So we asked WSB contributing reporter Randall Hauk, who wrote this story about it three months ago, to check back. Randall reports:

Though the ownership team behind Dumplings of Fury has yet to set an opening date for the new quick-serve Asian-style dumpling shop, Ben Jenkins says the time for getting dumplings in The Junction is “getting close.”

Jenkins cites “normal scheduling stuff” in explaining the delay in the restaurant’s opening. As reported in November, the Fury team had optimistically targeted January 1.

“We had a couple of setbacks,” says Jenkins, “but we should be cooking in there and testing the menu this month.”

For now, the paper remains on the windows and the liquor-license notice posted on the front door, but we’re assured that “Furious” dumplings are coming soon!

    What about The Hydrant?  Any news on it’s opening?

    Hurrah for dumplings. Thanks for the update!

    I also want to know about the Ramen place in Junction 47.  It seems like that has been in “coming soon” mode for a long time.

    I figure that unless they actually plan on also serving slices and sandwiches, a good sign that Dumplings of Fury will be opening soon is if they finally paint over that sign! (Plus the one in the window.)

    is the high turnover of restaurants in West Seattle is a product of high rent ????

    • raywest February 12, 2016 (2:45 pm)

      That’s certainly part of it, but also more competition more in, customers flock to a new place, then lose interest, the owners have personal difficulties, they lack real restaurant experience, and so on.  It makes you wonder why so many people want to go into the restaurant business, risking just about everything they have.

    The sign has been lit the last few days when I’ve walked past. So very excited for them to open as well as the ramen joint.

    Also wondering about The Hydrant, any updates?

    What I really want to know is why did Noble Barton remove the ‘Kentucky Hot Brown’ and what would it take to bring it back

    I really miss The Westside Public House.  I was told the rent was $13,000 A MONTH.  I don’t know how anyone can stay in business at that price.  Probably why so many places open and close in that spot.

    any update on the opening yet?

Sorry, comment time is over.
