“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~“
“The food was so fresh, well cooked & deliciously flavored. I grew up here and have tried many Chinese & dim sum restaurants, but this one truly impressed me. The restaurant is tucked away and easy to miss, but you don’t want to. It’s excellent.What we ordered:—Stir fried green beans—Shrimp pork and chives potstickers—Vegetable chow mein—Har gow (shrimp dumplings)My 5 year old loved the shrimp dumplings so much she made us order a second serving and said, “these are the BEST I’ve ever had!”“
“Amazing food and service at a great price point! This is my go-to neighborhood spot. I’ve ordered take-out 10+ times and have also dined in many times. The staff are quick and very friendly - and the food is delicious!! Highly recommend the Shanghai rice cakes, sautéed pea shoots, general chicken, and twice cooked pork.“
“This place offers a wide variety of dumplings, including rarer finds like fantuan, and other hot dishes at affordable prices in a conveniently located area of Sunset. The interior is small with only a few tables, but it's a cozy spot to enjoy a meal or pop in for takeout. They accept credit card but charge a 4% fee for dine-in, which is understandable. I'm really happy I found this spot and will probably return often.“
“We were in town for just a few days and discovered this amazing dim sum on our last day…of course we had to heat there for lunch AND dinner. Everything we had was so fresh, and had a depth of flavor and authenticity that just isn’t that common. Do yourself a favor and eat here as soon as you can, and often.“
“Food was delicious. Little pricy but still good. Service was okay . I had to flag them down to take my order. They were busy so understood. I will come back for Singapore style noodle. I used to eat this a lot when I lived in alameda. I was lucky to find parking . Thank god .“
“Stopped by for a quick bite as part of our drive North to Healdsburg. There was a line at the door but it went quickly. I actually had to decide what I wanted to order on the fly because I got to the front of the line too quickly. We ordered shrimp dumplings, shrimp and chive dumplings, sui mai, turnip cake, and dried shrimp rice noodles. I would get the dumplings and sui mah again. I was mixed in the turnip cake. The dried shrimp rice noodles were ok....the spread of onion and dried shrimp was a little uneven, so there were bites that were just rice noodle. It was also a bit too dense for me. Very reasonable pricing though. We got a box full of food for $19.90. Cash only. There are a few tables inside where you can sit down to eat after ordering your food at the counter. There's also a bathroom available.“
“The soup dumplings were delicious. Another in the group ordered the Bao and really enjoyed it as well. The staff might be some of the best in all of California. They were insightful when it came to ordering and the food came out extremely fast. Absolutely fantastic!“
“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…“
“Super quick and delicious meal! My friend and I walked in on a Friday after early cocktails nearby and were immediately greeted & seated! We ordered the chicken dumplings, wagyu dumplings, chicken chow mein and stir fried string beans. The green beans were the star of the show! They were amazing. We also really enjoyed the chow mein. Next time I'd like to get a different type of dumpling, as the chicken dumplings were just okay.“
“Cute place. Went for lunch and it was very quiet. Nice and relaxing. A decent amount of tables inside. And it’s very bright and airy.The Kung pao chicken wasn’t spicy at all. It tasted very good though, and the rice was cooked perfectly.The Shanghai soup dumplings had great flavor. And are on the small side, you can eat them in one bite. The shrimp tempura was very crispy. The vegetable pot stickers had lots of veggies packed in like corn and spinach.The bubble tea I got just tasted like milk. It was pretty large though and I got double boba and the cheese foam. The boba was super fresh and very good.I liked that they had a bathroom but the toilet water was brown and all on the inside of the toilet was brown and it grossed me out.Though overall I def recommend!“
“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.“
“This has been my go to spot for dim sum on clement for years. Finally writing a review today to note they put back tables in chairs for indoor dining!!! I don't live in the Richmond so it's nice to be able to sit down and eat after ordering.“
“Really nice place. Ambiance, food, and service were all great. The manager was sweet, brought our kids some chocolate at the end of the meal, which made their day.Kid-friendliness: They were sweet to our kids and the food options were great for kids- shrimp rolls, buns, and rice dishes.“
“Food here is sooo good! Everything has an excellent home-cooked flavor. The service is extremely gracious and quietly attentive. Wish the atmosphere was a bit more upscale to match the quality of the food, but on the up side, you can usually get a table here. Definitely recommend.“
“This place had a upscale vibe with great music and attentive staff. Everyone was very friendly and I had the bbq pork buns and Pork Sheng Jian Bao and everything was SOOO AMAZING! I wish I lived closer I would be broke from eating here everyday of my life! The bbq pork buns were so fluffy with a hint of sweetness and a savory inside of bbq pork. The soup dumplings had a crunchier pan fried bottom with flavorful soup and meat on the inside. The Oolong tea was very good as well I didn't need sugar at all it was just good quality tea. They even brought a dessert sesame ball for free at the end of my meal and i left so full and satisfied! If you read to the bottom of this, hesitate no further and just do yourself a favor and check this place out, you WONT regret it.“
“Highly recommend green beans with XO sauce and the shrimp and pork shaomai (use the hot sauce with it, even better). Pan fried mushroom buns and chashao bao (bbq pork) buns were pretty good too. Found some big chunks of pork fat in the xiao long tang bao (pork soup dumplings), but otherwise they were pretty good. Sort of funny that they put them in little tinfoil cups, but I suppose it helps people with bad chopstick skills also get to sip the soup inside the dumplings;-)“
“Glad we caught this place by accident just walking by. Food was superb. Flavourful, delicious beef noodle soup. Also had chicken teriyaki, some dim sum options and spring rolls. Everything was fantastic.Service was attentive, as we were the only ones there. Prices were very reasonable for the area.“
“Was in the mood for some Chinese food while house-sitting in the city and found this place on Doordash. At first I thought it looked a bit pricey, but when I was shocked to see that the portions were pretty huge! My husband and I were able to eat our dishes for dinner, lunch the next day, as well as a little snack. When I got my order, everything was piping hot so you know it was made fresh! Chubby Shanghai: I liked the texture of the noodles, but there was something missing flavor-wise. Not sure if it would've been better had I opted to add in a protein? Dumplings in Chili Oil Sauce: Delicious with a kick! If you're sensitive to spicy foods, I would order and eat this with caution. General Tso's Orange Chicken: A classic, and my favorite dish out of the order. You get SO many pieces of chicken and I loved that some of the breading on the orange chicken was still crispy. The amount of sauce they added was perfect and not overdone at all! I think I would have preferred rice over the Chubby Shanghai Noodles since this was packed full of saucy flavor. Overall I would rate this place a 4.5 and would definitely order from them again. They don't have an abundance of dishes like other Chinese restaurants, but I think that's part of the appeal for me - especially when you're starving and don't want to think too hard about what you want to eat. You just know you want some great quality food!“
“Overall great price for quality. Should order online to avoid the long wait (20+ minutes for a to go place is too long)- pork and shrimp shumai was really good- ham sui gok was ok. It was a bit soft, not keeping the crunchy texture- mango pudding was ok, not too sweet but a bit more chewy than I like“
“I tried Delicious Dim Sum for the first time today and it was so good!! Got there around 2ish and there was no line. I ordered the Shrimp Dumplings, Chive & Shrimp Dumplings, Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll, Pork Shumai, Spring Rolls, and BBQ Pork Bun.“
“This place is open until three o'clock in the morning they always have a wonderful spongy moist cheesecake that are too dyed for the Pho is amazing also the steam dumplings are great. Always friendly great service and clean. You better get you some especially that cheesecake.“
“Great experience here. Came on a Saturday night around 6:30pm and as a group of 3 were seated in less than 10 mins (no reservation). All the food we are was great, and everything that came out at other tables looked good, too. Highly recommend the dry green beans, Kung pao prawn, and egg fried rice.Service was quick and attentive. They even have high chairs.Service fee of 18% is automatically added and they request no tipping.Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!“
“I had lunch at the Dumpling Kitchen this afternoon. The decoration was unremarkable, but the restaurant was bright and cheerful. Our waitress friendly and always there when we needed her - like when I knocked over two water glasses. My Kung Pao Chicken was really good, if a little hotter than I would have liked. And it was in front of me in about 3 minutes.“
“Food was great. Service needs work. We ordered two appetizers, soup and a noodle dish. They brought out the soup, a few seconds later the noodle dish which was followed immediately by one of the appetizers. We could not communicate with the server to ask her to slow down; finally found someone who spoke enough English to translate and took back dishes to keep warm in the kitchen.And forgot our tea; we needed to again wait for someone who spoke English to remind them of that.“
“Overall thought it was pretty good, but not my favorite dim sum.That being said, the crispy tofu was incredible - I’d consider going back just to get this… Everything else was pretty average, except the honey walnut shrimp which I would not recommend.“
“Ambiance: Ordered the shrimp/pork/beef rice roll (5*), meatloaf and fish clay pot (4*), chicken sticky rice (3.5*), siu mai (3*), and turnip cake (4*). The food won’t blow your mind and isn’t the highest quality, but it’s comforting and tastes home made. I think the rice rolls were superb, but the dim sum dishes are a 3*, 4* depending on your palette. There was one lady serving all tables, who was nice and sweet. The pricing is fair amongst the comps.Would come back again for comfort feeling.“
“First off, this is a literal hole in the wall. I came here on the Chinese Dragon Parade day due to recommendation of my dad. He wanted to try it so my family did. Fair warning, this restaurant seats like 10 tables at best. And mind you like 4 seater tables only with a couple of two seaters. So it's really small. Hence the one star. Also cleanliness is something to be desired. But, if you look past all that, the food is absolutely amazing. It's rare to find a clay pot rice restaurant and the fact this place has plenty of variations is awesome. Heads up that the wait to get the food is about 20 min for clay pot rice since they need time to make it. We ordered 5 clay pot rices (large size, there is a small size). We ordered chicken + preserved meat, spare ribs + preserved meat, two orders of frog, and one chicken and mushroom. Everything was spectacular. Their dim sum looked average so we didn't order them but considering they're known for the clay pot rice, definitely come here for that.“
“The Dumpling House is a great restaurant to eat dumplings. I have visited many times and always love to eat there.Sometimes it gets busy, but the service is usually fast.Personally, I do not like that they do not have printed menus and you can only order on your phone.Highly recommended.“
“Trust me. Asian flavors at its best. Be surprised with real Asian hustling and bustling. If you're looking for top service, you won't get it here. Pay the price and go elsewhere. Cash only.Tons of dishes to choose from. Tons of dim sum as well. White rice with 3 entrees, $5.50!! Dim sum rarely more than $3. A hearty meal for 3.....<$26! Where do you find such deal post COVID??If you like the information, please "like". Thanks“
“When it comes to dim sum I’m always looking for places that honor the classics but also surprise and delight. This place did both. Highly recommend the matcha tea balls which I’ve never had at any other place and were the perfect level of crispy chewy and sweet!“
“Shrimp and pork dumplings（虾饺&烧卖）taste pretty decent. The crepe of the shrimp crepe （鲜虾肠）is pretty thick but the shrimps are nice. We also ordered a turnip cake which tasted oily. Both the turnip cake and the shrimp crepe came out cold :( otherwise the food here is better than what I expected.“
“Delicious Taiwanese food! The crab soup dumpling is very fresh and the wrapper is nice and thin. The deep fried chicken was also so good and reminded me of Taiwan. The broccoli was disappointing because it wasn’t what I was expecting though.“
“Good value for the money. And the dim sum was nice. We had four different items, three pieces, each, for a total of $13. Was plenty for the two of us for a morning snack. There's really nowhere to sit so we walked about a block to a nice park and sat and ate.“
“谢谢!Super yummy made fresh to order veggie dim sum options in the heart of Chinatown, veggie grub round here is far and few but this is worth a stop. I hauled the Vegetable and Shiitake Mushroom Bao's whilst on the move, great flavor but slightly pricey comparing to other joints in the area.It's certainly one of my new local go-to's, this place is a must as it offers incredible actual traditional Chinese treats at a great price.Support local businesses!“
“Great place to grab dim sum. It's a small restaurant that usually has a short wait for a table but the food tastes great and comes out quickly. The wait gives you time to observe the older Chinese clientele who frequent this restaurant which is always a good sign.My only complaint is that we order too much food and I eat more than I should when we come here. Some leftovers heat up better than others so that's how I prioritize what I stuff myself with.Parking: Parking isn't too bad in this area, can typically find a spot within a block. The road construction on Taraval takes away some spaces occasionally.“
“The food is great and we enjoyed everything we ordered. The dishes are large, tasty, and of good quality. I am.only giving 3 stars for atmosphere because the resto was super cold and although it was crowded and we were not near the door, we were COLD. Quite simply, they don't use any heating. So be warned.“
“My mom's favorite Chinese restaurant in the city (at least currently - growing up it used to be Eight Immortals on Taraval - I'm sad it's no longer the same...). Whenever I go home for a visit, there's always ONE night reserved for a family dinner at Riverside. There's only street parking (not a surprise since it's SF), but there's NO issue find a spot and the area is relatively safe. The restaurant is no frills and homey - and you know it's legit and good when the restaurant is full on a random Wednesday night on a quiet neighborhood block. My mom usually orders and the dishes can vary depending on what she feels like, but she ALWAYS orders the giant scallop/clam thing with vermicelli. Very meaty, large portions. Pricey, but good. Definitely solid Chinese food - sometimes they are a bit heavy handed on the seasoning (not super consistent), but overall still good.“
“A gigantic mound of Chinese comfort food for a very good price! The taste is exactly as I remember it from SF Chinatown many many years ago. Also, you can ask for more to be loaded onto the combo plate for extra $$! So I gave a bit of tip too. This location is also convenient and walkable. It is the local joint to go to for some quick, hot, and well-priced Chinese food and dim sum! They even have fully stuffed tofu, chicken dumplings, and veggies!“
“I really enjoy this spot in the Ferry Building for lunch. Come here for lunch with colleagues usually for an easy quick bite. Last time, shared a floral tea with a colleague. We enjoyed sipping our tea on a rainy day in San Francisco to slow down our day. We also shared the dumpling sampler and an order of wontons. Both were great and the perfect amount for two. We ended with the tea cookies. The perfect end to a meal and a palette cleanser. Our server was very attentive and knew their tea selection well. Will be back.“
“Happy Bakery has many friendly people working there, and the dim sum and Chinese fast food are pretty good.The store has two sections. The section on the left is my favorite dim sum section. They have many different dim sum for the reasonable prices. The Chinese fast food section is more like Panda Express. You can see what you want, and they scoop it into the box. Both sides are quick and yummy!Parking: Metered street parking onlyWheelchair accessibility: The store is wheelchair friendly“
“Just tried Kingdom of Dumpling for the first time and I'm impressed! They have an amazing variety of dumplings--20 different kinds, each with its own unique twist. The flavors are spot on, and they're all perfectly cooked. The vibe is super laid-back, perfect for a casual dinner. Service was pretty quick too, especially since you can order online and pick up. It's a solid four stars from me--definitely coming back for more!“
“Good, new dim sum spot! Dishes (best to ok): -Har gow: never tasted something so good in the Bay Area -shu mai: very good, would order again -shrimp rice noodles: decent, a little thick on the rice noodle Logistics: -plenty of tables and can seat large parties -limited, street parking -restaurant is a bit cold, bring a jacket -accepts cc“
“I was in the neighborhood. And I've been looking for a tiny dim sum place in our neighborhood. This place fits the bill. Tried their chicken siu mai - which is something I usually don't order. It was quite good. Tried their shrimp dumpling - really good. Will try the rest of the stuff for sure.“
“This place serve really good Taiwanese food. We had Egg rolls, Fried wontons,Hot & Sour soup and the kbmbbost dbelicihous pork ribs (please do not miss this!)Service was good. Only the restaurant itself feel a little too old. overall it’s sgood place to try.“
“This place looks a little dingy, seems like it used to be restaurant, but now they just do takeaway. The dimsum is not premium restaurant stuff, but good hearty home style, presentation not so great, but tastes good. You could get a meal for under $10 here, but "splurge" a little and you'll be really full.“
“The dim sum is good and I really enjoyed it. The service is indifferent at best especially if you're not ordering a lot of food. It's definitely a small hole in the wall kind of place with limited seating. Overall though I still liked it.“
“SO good and so many vegetarian options. We brought 4 kids with and they all found foods they liked (mostly buns and dumplings).Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian options, including tofu, meatless beef, meatless chicken and meatless fish.Kid-friendliness: The kids really loved the dim sum.“
“I noticed this place on the way to trying Good Mong Kok. The crowd of locals and lack of tourists caught my attention. So what did I do? I got the same items from both places and had a dim sum-off! Key Finding: the food and prices were nearly the same, but one was way easier to get into. The beef shui mai had a pleasant texture and thin wrapper; good flavors. I got sticky rice and pork wrapped in bamboo leaves. Also tasty with a hefty amount of filling, and they have both the kind with peanuts and with yellow mung beans. And of course I got an egg tart. This was tasty as any, though the bottom crust was a little dense. A minor complaint! The shop is tiny and the customer service just ok as you would expect from most Chinese bakeries. The parklet is still in place, but it didn't seem available that day. Overall, this is a solid bet if you want cheap dim sum in the neighborhood and don't want the hassle of a long line over at Good Mong Kok!“
“Excellent service! Recommend Peking Duck, whole crab with vermicelli & prime steak with mushrooms. Excellent veggie (Yu Chou) stir fried with garlic cloves. Food was well seasoned but not salty nor greasy. Small'ish dining room so reservations are a must“
