This charming small restaurant on Valencia St in San Francisco CA is a delight! The website has beautiful pictures with descriptions of, of the menu items, allowing you to plan your order ahead of time. Pleasant and quick service, chef’s making the Bao in the front window ( Inlive watching craftspeople work!), and a unobtrusive screen in the dining area to allow you to view what you want to order. Delicious and unusual food but please save room for the goofy and fun desserts like the coconut bunnies and phyllo swans!!😃

We ordered mostly steam dumplings and a pan-fried chicken pot sticker. They were all very delicious. The decoration in the restaurant was beautiful. I particularly like the lanterns which came in various shapes and sizes.

Bao fixed my dim sum cravings. The food was served in a reasonable amount of time, the bathroom was clean, and most importantly, the food was PERFECT.

Great selection of baos and dumplings. Pineapple fried rice is very tasty.

The baos were fluffy, not too dough-y, and really delicious! We also got some dim sums and vegetable entrees that were really good. I’d skip the vegetarian xiaolongbao since these weren’t as good as the baos! Overall, I’d definitely recommend this place.

Dim sum and baos are asian approved! Definitely coming back here. Got string beans and custard lava buns (the panda print is so cute)

No thrills other than the food. Best long BAO in the city but everything, including the stir fried vegetables, is delicious and affordable. Attentive and friendly staff.

Noisy if it gets busy cause it’s small. Otherwise excellent food. Can’t miss if you are craving dumplings.
Staff is nice, service is very bad. I ordered 2 kinds of bao for takeway and staff told me it will be ready in 10 minutes. They were really nice and offered me to sit down and water while I waited. However I waited for more than 25 minutes and I had to leave because friend was waiting for me in the car. In the end staff gave me another order just so I can leave. Worst part is I LEFT A TIP WHEN I PAID. People who came after me and sat down got their orders before me.

Had the spicy bao, it was a miss for me, I didn’t care for the spices and like others have said, they tend to stick to the aluminum cups. The saving grace was the pea sprouts which is one of my favorite vegetables but then it’s hard to mess that up. It’s kinda pricey and I won’t be back.
It’s ok
