These dumplings are delicious and service with a smile! My boyfriend is allergic to a lot of things and they were so accommodating on a really busy weekend night. I will definitely return!!

The service was not bad. The kurobuta pork xiaolongbao was smelly in a bad way. The soup inside was plain. It was a disappointment. The rest of the dishes we had were mediocre. I wouldn’t come back

This quiet restaurant serves up really good soup dumplings. No need to wait in line for an hour at Din Tai Fung, just come here instead.Favorite dishes:- Original soup dumplings: The skin is strong enough to not fall apart when being picked up, yet not too thick and chewy. The broth inside is super flavorful. The restaurant didn't bring us ginger slices by default, but did after I asked.- Cucumber salad: Refreshing with super tasty dressing of soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic.- Tomato egg drop soup: Comforting and broth is full of flavor. It's a big bowl too, enough for 4-5 people to share.Did not like:- Garlic butter noodles: Mediocre and nowhere near as good as somewhere like Perilla. I thought the addition of parmesan cheese was strange, and the flavor did not fit in with the rest of their menu. The portion was massive though.- Vegetable potstickers: The skin was too thick and doughy. The filling was tasty though.Service was quick and efficient. Prices are reasonable. The space is also large enough to hold big groups. Overall, I would definitely come here again.

Food was okay - I really liked the braised pork, it tastes sweet and authentic (to a southern China dish), but it the lotus is not fresh, not crispy at all.The restaurant itself is very well furnished, definitely above average comparing to other Chinese restaurants on this street.Food got served pretty slow - we finished a dish before the next came.

The outside of the restaurant is not nice but once you walk inside you can see it had a beautiful design. The space is very big with plenty tables and you can see everything is neat. Depending on where you sit you can have a view of the employees preparing the dumplings. We order green beans, tripe tendon, fried pork buns, dumplings and garlic butter noodle. Everything was ok except for the garlic butter noodles which were very underwhelming and overcooked. The service was very attentive and friendly.

This place is new. They are still under soft opening. But I already was here 3 times with my BF. They have a nice atmosphere and nice design. Clean and friendly staff. I was surprised the waiter remembered me from the previous visit. I really enjoy food. The flavor is just perfect. Wonton soup is a must try! I also find Pork buns extremely flavorful and soft. And they have very good Jasmine tea. Which will warm u up right away on cool days in SF. I definitely would recommend this place to everyone. Thank you!

stumbled upon the soft opening while craving dumplings!! this was a cute spot with fast service and would definitely stop by again :) we ordered the shrimp har gow dumplings, veggie dumplings, veggie baos, and seaweed salad. the shrimp har gow was definitely our favorite, the dumplings had a really nice texture and the shrimp was cooked well. both the vegetarian dumplings and baos were great as well, we were a fan of the veggies mixed with the glass noodles. i think the baos were really soft and tasty but personally wish it had more filling. overall a really good spot for dumpling and would recommend !

It's a new place and the environment is nice. They have a small speaker at the back of for music so it's not too loud. And I like how they have a big screen that's moving around and I liked it. I was seated in front of it so I didn't take a pic. The food is a mixed feeling. Some of them are good and some of them are like never ever again. I love their steaming dumplings best and the wings. These 2 items deserve 5 stars. But for the soup dumplings and the appetizer spicy chicken, those are totally 1 star for me. So it's a mixed of 3 star solid. The decorations is good but I feel like the bathroom can be a little better. Service was ok, I like the little girl better as she is more responsive. The tall guy is ok, feel like he doesn't want to response to people. He likes to clean table better than checking customers I guess. Maybe things can be better when they are through this soft opening period? May not return in a short time but May give it a try in the future when things get more stable. Good luck
