A dumpling shop in DC just raised $7.2M.
That's not the story.
Chef Tim Ma started Laoban because the frozen dumpling aisle was broken. Commodity products. Cheap packaging. Nothing that reflected what dumplings actually are, one of the most beloved foods on earth, eaten across every culture, every income bracket, for thousands of years.
He built the restaurant first. Then brought the recipes to retail.
Now in 6,000 stores. Whole Foods. Kroger. Costco. Walmart. A 3-pound pack at Costco for $12.99. A single-serve at Walmart for $4.99. Different SKU, different price point, same brand. That's a CPG operator thinking in systems.
Last month Bachan's sold to Marzetti for $400M; 4-5x revenue. The signal: Asian pantry brands have moved from ethnic niche to core grocery infrastructure.
Laoban is the next name on that list.
The $7.2M round is small. The category is not.
Frozen dumplings in the US are where Japanese whisky was fifteen years ago. Genuinely world-class product. Chronically underpriced. Waiting for the right brand to reframe what it's worth.
Laoban is making that argument.

Instant classic. Can't wait for the cinematic recap when NCAA lets them.
I need to rewind and hear Mara's 3 & the shot clock expiration and Sophie's layup

Mara Braun with a massive tying 3 pointer today and Amaya Battle with a game winning shot.
These 2 can't be thanked enough for what they've done for this #Gophers program over the last 4 years.
Proud of the entire team, but extra love for these two rn.
Minnesota is proud! 〽️

Niamya Holloway on being a leader of the bench vibes for the Gophers
“Honestly it really just comes from pure excitement… we just have so much faith in what those on the court are doing so us on the bench we’re giving everything we have from where we can so that’s so important to us and I think it really helps our team”

@KFANRosen That defensive stand and Barn-induced shot clock violation was legendary!
