My favorite place for dumplings in San Bruno!

Authentic chinese food. We ordered pork dumpling with green chives, shanghai soup dumplings, beef roll pancake, pork potstickers, spicy beef tendon, and fried mashed taro cake. Except the fried mashed taro cake, everything was delicious.
The shell of the taro cake was a bit tough for us to chew, I wish they make it with some other kind of pastry wrap or best yet just oil fry some taro filled buns .
The dumpling wrappers were too thick and I didn't find the soup very interesting. The chicken with Napa cabbage had a very odd taste and there was no trace of said cabbage.
Service was excellent but the restaurant itself wasn't very inviting with storage shelves.
Maybe we just ordered the wrong things, but I doubt I will go back.

the beef noodles was so delicious
Not gonna lie 好吃
Authentic Chinese taste. Vegetarian Chowmein is so good.
It's okay. Dumplings were very good. Beef noodle soup was not the best. Soup was watery, beef was tough. Noodles were good.
The food and the service were okay.

Probably the best dumplings I have ever eaten. Home made right in front of you, great fillings, good prices. I will go back many times
I used to work next door. We shared an alleyway in the back. I went to lunch one day and there was a dead pigeon in the back. When I came back from lunch the bird was gone and there was hundreds of feathers scattered about. These dudes straight up plucked out the feathers and cooked it for you.
Good food; hand pulled and knife cut 手扯面 刀削面 noodle are not common and very impressive to have it - they are order to made fresh.
It’s a bit strange that they won’t allow me to eat here even though I arrived way before closing time (I arrive 2:20 and they close 3:00) … one star off from that
First time going to this place after a recommendation. I had high hopes, but the food was pretty bland.
We ordered 7 dishes costing close to $100 of food. Out of the 7, 2 dishes somewhat had some flavor. Yes, there were sauces included, but even those didn't help much.
Ordered online, so I can't give a rating on service except for being able to pick it up pretty quickly. That said, the restaurant was mostly empty, so I wouldn't have expected it to take long.
As it was a to-go order, I also cannot speak much about the atmosphere. But from what I saw, it is a very basic restaurant. No frills, if that's what you're into. It doesn't matter to me, so long as it is clean. Coming in from the back entrance, which was a bit confusing, it seemed a bit dirty to me. Perhaps I would view it differently coming from the main entry.

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place yet as I thought I did.
This is probably one of the best places for Dumplings (水饺) because they are delicious here. The price is decent and you get to see them making them because someone is always making them nonstop.
Service is good enough but the place is very small and parking can get annoying unless you get lucky and found parking right outside.
However food wise I like almost all the options because the dumplings are very good and they are fresh. There are many different options so I suggest you go with a couple of people so you get to try multiple choices.
