We suppose life would be a little easier sometimes with well-behaved, pan-seared pork dumplings instead of a screaming two-year-old. This Chinese spot recently opened a new branch in Brookline to go along with locations in Cambridge and Weston.

Chinese spot Dumpling Daughter has a brand new location at Coolidge Corner, and it’s open for takeout Wed-Sun, 11:30am-8pm. Dumplings are on the menu, naturally, but so are things like lo mein and scallion pancakes. Place an order on their website.
