Mr. Bao Kitchen

Really happy to find this new place. The food was delicious and the waiter was so nice. They actually had my favorite Shanghai style rice cakes which are hard to find in this area. We loved it and can't wait to go back again.

SUPER-delicious food, but waitstaff is clearly overwhelmed.

My friend and | shared four plates (hey, we were hungry!)
- String Beans with Garlic: cooked and seasoned perfectly!
- Pork Xiao Long Bao: also delicious!
- Shrimp, Pork w.Chives Dumpling
- and Shanghai Style Pan Fried Juice Pork Buns, probably our
favorite given the varied texture and - as with everything else-
awesome flavor l

We arrived at 5:30pm before the place was too busy, but it was soon hopping! And we didn't see very much of our server, so it was sometimes difficult to get her attention to order more or bring us the check. So I do feel it'd be lovely to have a bit more attentive and friendly service. That aside, I'm sure I'll be back to get more of this deliciousness!

The food seems average. I ordered shrimp noodles. There were very few shrimps in the noodle. The service also seemed suboptimal. In other restaurants usually waiters ask if I need anything more or need sauces to suit the food. Usually they ask whether the customer is enjoying the food or not too. Here they just put the check on my table even when I was still eating my food. Ideally the check is presented after checking if the guest wants to order something more or is done with having the food. Not a pleasant experience.

Went on a friday night. Got seated super quickly, and the service was very friendly. Our server gave us a ton of recommendations, so we ended up trying the soup crab dumplings, pan fried pork dumplings, pork ribs, and fried rice. The meatballs were very delicious too! Will definitely be coming back!

Don’t skip the xiaolongbao dumplings, they are INCREDIBLE. Staff is friendly and kind even when busy. Panfried Shanghai noodles are also a must.

As Chinese person, I think it's safe to say this is the best dumpling place in the bay area. It beats Ding Tai Fung by a landslide.

XLB Crab Soup Dumplings 4 the skin is too thin hence fragile, very hard to keep the soup inside, the filling is juicy & soupy
Pan Fried Pork Buns 3 the bottom looks golden but it’s not crispy, tastes too doughy, the filling is juicy & soupy
