It was cold and we found soup. Won ton soup with delicious won tons and baby bok choy that was vibrant while tender...so tender. The broth was light, not salty. We also enjoyed soup dumplings that were so fresh, hot, and tasty, the black vinegar with slivers of ginger. As well as the won tons in chili sauce (yes, please...to embarrassed to order second serving) Salt and Pepper chicken wangs with light coating that remained crispy. Oh, the marinaded cucumbers were a fresh, delicious and seasoned with a nice Chile. The price of some dishes were only $12.50, while others were $9.95 cucumbers were $6.50. We are willing to take MUNI in order to avoid looking for parking. F-LINE here we come.

Pork buns tasted and appeared straight out of the freezer from a grocery store (pic included). Dumplings were good and tasted fresh.

This is one of those places you never forget. The flavors are truly unique and unforgettable. Totally recommended, one of the best quality-to-price experiences you can find in San Francisco.

On my ‘must-go-back-sooner-than-later’ list! YUMMY - delicate - flavors well developed
Very professional and friendly staff, mellow atmosphere for quite a busy spot.
Decoration and (silent) tv on Chinese cooking channel making one appreciate even more the talent it takes to produce such tasty bites. It feels as though the kitchen is cooking per order rather than batch cooking as in most other dim sum places.
Comments on the dishes I ordered as captions per photo.
Truth be told: I had just gone for dim sum at a very popular and celebrated restaurant in a SF nearby city and left curiously unsatisfied compared to my previous time there.

I liked the crystal shrimp dumpling the best. Turnip cake was also okay.
I got the XLB and spicy wonton but probably wouldn’t order again. Both good but not my favorite in the city.

My fav dumplings here are actually the plain pork and cabbage ones. They’re a lovely size and texture (chewy skin). Some of their other stuff is good but not as great as other famous specialized spots around the city (spicy wontons — would have liked more sichuan pepper and garnish though texture of these babies is fantastic, shengjian bao). Spicy XLB was not spicy but really flavorful. The place is busy yet there’s always room to walk in and sit down, even as a group of 7; and service is kind. They bring you water without asking. Prices are so affordable (~$10 per dish). Most of the dishes are good but not outstanding, but due to how easy it is to get a table, how friendly the service is, and great value, this is a great neighborhood spot.
My favorite dumpling spot in SF!! Not overpriced but delicious all around - favorites are the pan fried buns and chili oil dumplings. Would highly highly recommend.

I came across this dumpling spot and will never look back! This has become one of my favorite restaurants in the city - in major part not only to the quality and tastiness of the food - but to the one of a kind service from Joanne. She has made this feel like a dinner with family - she is so friendly, warm, and always so accommodating. We always order the marinated cucumbers, and an assortment of steamed and fried dumplings. They are so fresh, and handcrafted to perfection. If you haven’t been, definitely stop on by. I have no doubt this will become a regular spot for you!
