Chowing in Dallas

How can you not get excited when you see this sign? Lumi: Empanada & Dumpling Kitchen.  A restaurant that specializes in food that comes in tiny pockets!
The interior and exterior were both interesting, with a kind of Japanese feel to the place. 
Chips to start off with...
This is one of those places where you must get a bunch of plates and share them with the table. The ahi tuna nachos topped with jalapenos ($8) were spicy and inventive.
I wanted to eat about 10 of these.  The empanadas come with a variety of fillings, and are served with amazing dipping sauces.
The crab wontons ($7.50) were so pretty I didn't want to eat them.  That only held me back for about 0.3 seconds.
The curry dumplings were possibly my favorite.. we ordered more chips just so we could soak up every drop of that curry dipping sauce.
