“One of the best dumplings I've tried! The line on weekends lunch wasn't too bad, it was about 30min ish. Everything was just on point! I was shocked to see the XLB to be see through but yet it wouldn't break. My favorite was the mala spicy XLB, the soup was delicious with just a little bit of a kick of the numbing spicy flavor! The spicy red chili dumpling was filled with the nutty flavor of peanut with just a dap of chili oil for the fragrance. Hands down one of the best dumpling places that I wouldn't mind waiting in line for~“

“I grew up in a Chinese restaurant so my bar for any kind of Chinese food is very high. There are rarely ever any Chinese restaurants that I'd return to, never mind feel confident in bringing other people with me... this is one of those rare gems. Not only is the food fantastic, but the service has been really nice. I love this place and would recommend a visit to try any of their items. My favorites are the pan fried pork juicy bao, braised beef noodle soup, green beans, and pig ears. All of their recipes are super authentic.“

“By their own standards, this place is doing a good job. I found it a little overbearing, but I'll admit, part of what comforts me about Vietnamese restaurants is being left alone. I was not. I was even given instructions about how to order next time! One person working there seemed concerned I ate only half my bun bo hue, but I truly ate all I could and then some, it was just a lot for me. I think $20 is a lot for pho, but I was fine with that, as I was expecting it. I do wish the bun bo hue came with a pork hock, but the broth and the beef were so refined, that is not a complaint. More pork blood would be nice... but, I think they have perfected what it is that they do, which is all I ever want, personally.Would go back. They seem to foster loyalty; I can see why. They're very welcoming, and the food is comforting, as someone who grew up on SFV phoGot bun bo hue because it looked like everyone else did. Was happy with that choice. All the food looked pretty good.“

“Overall 6.7/10 Was really excited to try this place and came for dinner a few days ago. I wasn't super enthusiastic about the meal; my husband liked it a lot better than I did. Service was great throughout. We did the high top reservation and they're in a little half nook; interior was nice. We ordered the Shrimp Chips, Stemple Creek Beef with Hong Kong Noodles, and Peking Duck. Shrimp chips were basic ships with some malt vinegar; nothing super exciting but tasty. The noodles I did not like at all; had one small serving and was done with them. I thought they had a weird tomato flavor to them. My husband loved them and finished the dish for us. Peking Duck was interesting. It comes with crepes, cucumbers, cilantro, some green onions, peanut hoisin sauce, and a mousse. Peanut hoisin was good - I was a bit concerned, but it was nice. The crepes were thicker than normal - again a little concerned, but when eating it was perfectly pleasant. The duck itself it almost a bit of a BBQ duck -- it wasn't the typical Peking Duck that you get at Chinese restaurants. If you do want the typical Peking Duck flavor, I wouldn't recommend this. It was good though. The duck itself was really fatty, which I wasn't as big a fan of. Overall, it was an ok Peking Duck -- wasn't my favorite, but definitely a fun option if you want a different style. As noted in other reviews, even though we did reserve a duck with the reservation it does take an hour to come out. The wait staff did try to pace out our dishes so we didn't feel like we had to wait a really long time for it, but just a warning if you order it be prepared to wait.“

“The place makes me feel like I’m back home in Shanghai and maybe better As someone who used to live near Guyi Garden in Shanghai, I can say the soup dumplings are exactly how I like them. The dough isn’t too skin or too soft and has a delightful little chewiness. The pork and crab filling is tender, juicy, and not greasy. There can be a bit more crab yolk but i didn’t expect much across the ocean.I adore the small yellow fish in rice wine sauce. It has become a rare find even in Shanghai comparing with the more common smoked fish. The balance of rice wine and sweet flavor is just right.Pea shoots are perfectly cooked.Pork belly with tofu skin knots tastes good too. Not too salty.Love the atmosphere. So glad to hear Shanghainese!! The aunties are very friendly and welcoming. The food isn’t cheap but it definitely worth it.Hope I have time to visit again for other dishes I crave before leaving for England…“

“This mom and daughter place is a great deal and the food is very tasty for the most part, but it has quirks. Worth it though for the tasty and cheap food. Quirks:- Very little counter seating inside, and sometimes it’s a very long wait. Cash only- It can take anywhere from 25 min - 50 min to get your takeout order. Call 45 min ahead of time. Even then, be prepared to wait another ~10-15 min by the door when you get there. But it’s because it’s just 2 people taking orders and cooking.- Looks like this may now be fixed, but for several YEARS Google maps said they were open for lunch when they weren’t. Heads up that they open only at 5:30 pm!!- Michelle (the daughter) is very kind overall, but can get a bit curt with customers if they’re crowding the door. I get it though: it’s just 2 of them and a stressful job managing a long line.One time, a guy pushed his way in and knocked over my food that they were about to give me. I appreciated how gracious Michelle was and how well she managed that situation! She kept calm, apologized to me (even though it wasn’t her fault), prioritized making me a replacement dish right away, and offered not to charge me for it.As for the food, it’s tasty and vegetarian friendly! I like the spinach noodles with tofu. The tea leaf salad was a bit too sour and over the top in flavor for my taste, but I liked it a lot more once I added my own cucumbers to it to dilute the flavor. May put it over my own spring mix next time - highly recommend doing that.“

“This was my first time visiting Fiery Hot Pot. I was part of a 4-top party going in just after 6pm on a Sunday evening, without a reservation. We were promptly seated within 5-minutes upon arriving! The ambience is pleasant and modern, the layout with open seating tables and booths provide an option for guests to have either more intimate or informal dining scenarios. Considering you are likely to be sharing hot pot entrees, you may want to be secluded with your party or share in the delight of creating your very own version of hot pot soup making. As one of my party guests remarked, it is analogous to a "choose your own adventure game"! Which I believe is both an appropriate comparison and worthy of a chuckle. The service was prompt and courteous. We were given options to choose either the 2-meat option with 6-a la carte tapas to choose from (each), or the unlimited option. We went the route of each ordering our own 2-meats. We each chose a variation of Wagyu beef cuts, chicken breast, pork belly, and premium pork options for our respective 2-meat orders. We chose the roasted tomato and pork broth options for the soup, mild and non-spicy respectively for the spice options. As we waited for the soups to arrive, we proceeded to select our tapas to add to or adjoin our hot pot entree. The tapas offered are extensive and include a variety of greens including kale, purple sweet potato, assortments of mushrooms, vermicelli, udon, ramen, iterations of tofu, aromatics including chives, ginger, garlic, and plenty of sauces. The choices left me feeling resplendent! The tapas were chosen, artfully and dutifully. We were ready for our sumptuous soup slurping! It was delicious! We all enjoyed our meat selections and the tapas provided many twists and turns to our hunger-inspired adventure. The story evolving with each passing minute, as the soup and its story revealed its ever increasing rich flavor, the water evaporating slowly as the intensity of our added characters of meats and sides created tension and release for our main characters, our taste buds! It sure was a grand story. The meal's adventure came to an enchanting ending as we were given the option of either vanilla ice cream or a small glass of coconut Jell-O. Both provided a delightful resolution to that evening's quest. The belly's dragon being tamed, we claimed victory with the aid of Fiery Hot Pot!“

“Brought parental units here for a weekday late lunch. The environment is chill, food was good, service was warm and friendly. | Ambiance | There's ~8 table here, with benches for seating; each table can comfortably seat 4-6, possibly more with kids. The restaurant is bright and delightfully decorated. | Food | Given this was our first time here, we ordered two #1 Original: one with shrimp, one with beef. The meat/bone broth has been cooked for hours and has a delicious depth to it. We had regular noodles (imported from Yuana) in one and kale noodles in the other. Both were delicious. The bridge of toppings that come with each order of noodles, albeit gimmicky, was fun and added texture to the dish; atop the bridge were corn, preserve vegetables, yuba, goji berries, ham slices, a shrimp, wood ear strips, chives, and a quail egg. The protein ( slices of beef and shrimp) came out raw, along with noodles on the side, and piping hot broth for us to cook everything in. All in all, a very satisfying meal. We also got the tofu + ground pork cold dry noodles and a wood ear appetizer. The dry noodles were unique and I liked the tofu flavors in them, though I still preferred the version with broth. The wood ear appetizer was good - vinegary and had a little kick. | Service | The manager/owner (?), having learned that this was our first visit, welcomed us and shared her recommendations. It was clear she's passionate about the food and takes pride in their offerings. She and the other waitress were both great in ensuring we were well taken care of; service was quick. Despite this being a restaurant that has been opened for only 5 months, everything is operating smoothly. When the bill came, I opted to pay with a credit card. These days, the tip portion of the credit card workflow at restaurants can get quite confusing, often ranging anywhere from 15-25% or more. Unlike other restaurants that default tip to 18% or 20%, I appreciated Oodle defaulting theirs to 15%. For that, and for the delightful service, I was happy to increase the tip to the next tier up at 18%. They earned it!“

“Ambience 5/5 - A super chic and modern restaurant. There is residential parking around the area so it's not too difficult to find a place to park. The actual restaurant is pretty sizable and looks really nice and modern! - there are tables and also booths to sit in. The only thing to note is that the floor tiling can be slippery if it's wet/rainy outside. Service 5/5 - you can sign up for the waitlist by walking in and signing in on a tablets. I believe you can also be put on the waitlist through Yelp. Overall, the servers are pretty young, but it's very responsive and helpful! Nelson was fantastic and took the time to explain the different soup bases and sauces! They were also really proactive with offering soup, base refills, and water refills! Food 5/5 - high-quality meats, yummy options of spicy/non-spicy soup bases, but the star of the show... was the SAUCES Omgosh. Amazing. Made everything soo soooooi good! We loved the crunchy spicy (had pumpkin seeds and peanuts in chilli oil), and the green sauce stuff! Mushroom sauce came in a close second. We also tried the Spicy butter (spicy, and beef fat... tasted AMAZING with the ramen omg), Tom Yum (was alright, but pretty tangy, not surprisingly), and the Sichuan spicy. Perhaps will try the miso next time :) Overall a really, really great experience (approx cost $35 per person) We will be back again !“

“Having just arrived in the city, my friend and I were in search of a hefty meal -- fit for two starving children (we're adults). After some arduous googling and thorough research and broken ferry ride -- we arrived, up the stairs into the nook of this restaurant.We ordered the half and half broth, but admittedly wish we had just ordered the non-spicy broth as the spicy broth was just too much and too sour for our taste. But overall, we enjoyed our experience! The meat tasted well and as did the other fresh veggies we had ordered.But what surprisingly elevated this experience was the dessert and drinks. The best advice I can offer in regards to dessert is "Save the best for last." The sweet egg custard buns were an absolute delight. Especially when fresh, the warm custard just sweetly coats your tongue and leaves you satisfied with your meal. After hesitating as to whether or not I should order coconut juice, I finally committed and will admit it just may be one of the best decisions I've made in this lifetime. The coconut was as fresh as it comes, giving me a refreshing and vaguely sweet recovery from the warm broth. At the end of the night I found myself cleaning out its flesh because I found it a waste.“

“We've eaten here a few years back, but this is the first time leaving a review. We wanted something a little different and not just pho, so we opted for this spot. We got there around noon and there were a a bunch of empty tables. Most of the booth tables were taken though. Just so you know, they give complimentary soy milk served hot or cold, but you have to ask for it. I think only old timers/regulars know about this. My bf got a hot soy milk and I chose hot tea. We both ordered noodle soup. #3. NG HIEP KY WONTON HO FUN SOUP: Flavorful soup with seafood, liver and wonton dumplings with medium flat rice noodles. The noodles are not the typical Chinese ho fun that is really wide. It's like linguini sized rice noodles. They give an average amount, but good enough to fill you. I don't care for liver, so I didn't eat it. But everything else was good! They also have a shrimp on top that's been fried with batter. I grabbed that first since I'd rather have it crispy than soggy. 4/5 #12. BRAISED DUCK LEG HO FUN AND EGG NOODLE SOUP: BF had this and enjoyed it. Tasty duck and having both kinds of noodles bring an interesting taste and texture. Not many places have this dish or in this area of SF. 4/5 All around a decent spot for a quick lunch!“

“The fried pork chops (center) are delicious and a great value. The sarangani (left), a smoked fish fillet, was a great surprise. The meat was moist and tender with a smoky flavor. The tuyosilong (right), whole dried fish the size of sardines, might be too much asian flavor if not accustomed to dried seafood. I would definitely come back for breakfast/lunch. BTW, the leftovers are delicious if reheated in an air fryer.“

“We were in the neighborhood and stumbled upon DNM Hot Pot. Inside the restaurant was very spacious and the service was quite fast. Never had Mongolian hotpot before so was very stoked to try. Opted for half special spicy lamb and half mushroom and that was the perfect combo! Would definitely come back for more!“

“Excellent, reasonably priced dim sum in a lovely dining room! I made a reservation at the last minute and still got a table for my friend and me right before they closed for the afternoon. Service is quick; before one dish was finished, they'd bring out the next. Everything was tasty, and I'd love to come back sometime with a group.“

“Mission Chinese is a delicious hidden gem in the Mission District of SF. Their menu has a lot of "classics" with intriguing twists, such as beef broccoli but with brisket or sour chili chicken with potato. The service was prompt, albeit slightly curt, and the food came out quickly. I really liked the two mains that we got but didn't love the smashed cucumber. The dragon hanging from the ceiling was a nice touch as well. Would certainly recommend to anymore wanting some interesting Chinese food in the Mission District in SF!“

“One of the best places to go for roasted duck, it also comes with the bread for a little sandwich moment. They also have really good sizzling beef, it was almost like I was eating teriyaki chicken- perfect with a side of rice. This place is also great for large parties there's a ton of big tables if you're looking to get a family reunion together! Tons of street parking. We can on a Monday night and didn't have any trouble getting seated and finding parking.“

“We go to Boiling Hot Pot atleast 1x/month. It’s our go to spot for almost every occasion whether happy or sad. ? We went here for my wife’s graduation and for when I had a bad day and needed a venting session.We almost always get mango soju. My mother-in-law and I always drink unfiltered Sake when we all got together. It’s like a family tradition now.We usually pick out 4 favorite soup bases (Tom Yum, Red Pepper, Green Pepper, and Tomato). We LOVE their sauce station! It’s so customizable but my favorite is their first recommendation. My wife loves their green sauce and their mushroom sauce with spicy chili garlic.We always order a bunch of vegetables and wagyu beef. We always leave super stuffed and so satisfied. Unfortunately the only downside is the time limit of 90 mins which leaves you feeling rushed. I will say that the restaurant really only enforces the time limit when there is a large wait. Otherwise they are very nice and flexible.Would definitely recommend for any occasion. We’re probably going to go back soon.“

“I ordered chili oil wonton and dandanmian for our dinner.Trust me! The food is AMAZING! I strongly suggest this restaurant. The sichuan pepper and chili oil are so perfect similar with the dish i had in China from 2008-2019.I also suggest the restaurant to come up with DANDANMIAN with chili oil wonton coz the chili oil in the wonton and dandanmian blends perfectly. It is what I did. I took some dandanmian and place it in the chili oil of wonton.Location:The location is okay for me. We chose this place because of its food not the ambiance. My rule of thumb when it comes to food is that: if an ambiance or place is great, the food is not good. If food is extremely great, the place is okay. Plus, the type of place restaurant has is the best restaurant to have great food in China.“

An elegant balance in mala resulting in a near bottomless appetite that can last hours.Tan Tan Noodles, gets the mala to sesame proportion just right. Spicy Beef Tendon, an excellent cold appetizer for those adventurous in texture. Cumin Lamb, comforting, savory and flavorful.The private dining room in the back — a treat.

I like the shrimp dumplings and steamed buns, but after eating the same items at dim sum places in the Richmond I can tell that the ones at Mama Ji's don't have quite the same freshness or depth of flavor. Nonetheless, it's a nice option for lunch in the neighborhood. I hope they bring back the turnip cakes!“

“Great spot for vegetarian food. Their takes on non veg dishes are pretty great. We had fried rice with “pork” and “ham” that had good flavor and texture. The noodles with chicken are great as well. We weren’t a fan of the soup we got but everything else was appetizing and filling. I’m not vegetarian but can see myself coming again since it’s nearby and would definitely bring vegetarian friends to check it out.“
