Everything from food to service was excellent. Reasonably priced dumpling options and perfect choice for colder date nights weather.

This is a hidden gem in Castro. I don't know there is such a delicious Chinese food here. I love both soup dumplings. The steamed ones are good, which you can find anywhere. However, the pan fried ones surprised me. They are crispy, tender, and juicy, all in one! (Sorry I forgot to take the photo. The fried rice infused with truffle is delicious. I wish the spicy fried chicken has less flour when deep fried, but the flavor is bold yet not overpowering. In conclusion, this is the place you can get amazing dim sum and spicy Sichuan food. I would come back again!

I have visited this place in person and have ordered takeout a couple of times. I enjoy the food. But this last takeout, no chopsticks, no soy sauce, no napkins, etc. I probably will pick another place in the future where you don’t have to pay for items typically given with Chinese takeout.

Fantastic food, very flavorful, the best Chinese food I have had in a long time. I have been coming to this spot since 1999 when it was Nirvana and the various iterations since then, glad to have this place be a spot I will frequent again for hopefully years to come. 👌

Service was great! We showed up close to closing and they still let us order :) The bao and soup dumplings were delicious, but I would pass on the chili wontons next time.

food was 7/10, but the service was terrible. they charged us twice for our dinner. when we called the next day they just hung up as we cant speak Chinese.

The BEST food we have ever had. Astonishing.
Get the sesame chicken and the pork bao buns. We came in 45 minutes before close and they were very accommodating. Please do yourself a favour and come here. A definite must eat at. Once again, astonishing.

After walking around the Castro in support of pride month we decided we needed a bite. We came upon the Dumpling house we entered the small quaint restaurant and were greeted with big smiles. So many dumpling to choose from i wish there were more in our party so we could get a bigger selection, We we decided on the the soup dumplings, Szechuan noodles, & combination fried rice (I know sounds boring) We were amazingly surprised the noodle were obviously house made with all thier lovely imperfections for the wonderful sauce to grab on to. The rice came sizzling coming straight from the wok have a delicious sired smell our mouths were watering. We finished everything!! Sharona was very pleasant & attending.
