Highly overrated. Rude service and super small portions. Food was ok but the 3 ladies servicing have no manners. Not a single friendly word. No Hi. No can i help you. No are u ready for the paycheck...no nothing. Food portions are ridiculously small so that we had to go home and cook to get full,

We had a great experience here, we tried as many items as we could and everything was very good. The wings, and the meat and veggie buns stood out to me. My wife really loved the spinach dumplings. The custard buns and the mango pudding where also a huge hit, especially for my son.

I am from Southern California- and I now live in SF. I saw this place reviewed and recommended on Tik tok so I came. The food is hot, fast and fresh but I have had better. Waaaay better XLB, Pork Baos and spicy won tons. The wings were soggy for my taste. The best thing I ate were the green beans- they were perfect. I won’t be coming back but I appreciate the institution :)
Shout out to One More Bite and Mr. Dragon Noodle House in so cal! The best has not been beat.

This place is so good and the staff are absolute angels. The garlic broccoli with their chili sauce (already on the table) was a surprise favorite.

One of our local favorites for dim sum specialties. The dumplings are, of course, the star attraction, but I also really enjoy the wonton soup, garlic green beans, and fried chicken wings. Also very kid friendly, my toddler loves going here and watching the Chinese cooking show they have playing on the TVs.
If you're around for the lunch special (dine in only), it's also a great deal!
Only the Dan Dan noodle was good. Dumpling is better at all other dumpling time and dumpling kitchen chains. Do not order the shrimp scallop mostly Flour and no shrimp taste the scallop is also the one that's supposed to be dried for rice dish. The specialty Fried dumpling also too dry. All just too thick and dry. They also do not care about quality when I reported the shrimp. Other chain that has similar good quality Hayes, Fillmore, Noe (nearest to this Castro) and the Design district. Not comfy people too loud. Other Chain also lots of people and loud but within social standard

Our experience at this dumpling house was a mix of practical positives and some notable drawbacks.
On the plus side, the dumplings are decent, and the prices are fair. The steady stream of delivery drivers in motorcycle helmets suggests its main business is takeout. For walk-in customers like us, this meant there was no wait and plenty of available seating, which was a convenience.
However, the physical space could use some attention; it felt a bit shabby and worn. A more significant issue for us was the menu's lack of vegetarian main courses. Aside from a few appetizers, there were very limited options for anyone in our party who was vegetarian, making it a difficult choice for a group with mixed dietary needs.
In summary, this is a functional spot for a quick, affordable meal of decent dumplings, especially if you're dining in and want to avoid a wait. However, the shabby interior and the near-total lack of vegetarian entrees make it difficult to recommend for group dining or for those seeking a more polished experience.

Came back after a few years and the food still amazing. The best dumpling I have had. Had to wait around 25 min for a table but it was worth it.
