We dined in for a late lunch as a family of three. The yelp waitlist indicated a 10-20 minute wait and we were surprised to receive a text 5 minutes later.

Food came out hot and fresh. We ordered the Juicy Pork Bao, Pork Xiao Long Bao, Zha Jiang House Special Bean Paste with Mince Pork, Boiled Pork and Chive Dumplings and Fried Tofu.

While there is no separate kids menu, our thirteen month old loved his food so much that he stayed in his high chair for the duration of the meal.

Would highly recommend!

Absolutely blown away by the flavors here! The pan-fried pork bao and beef bao were incredible — a total must-try, and much bigger than I’ve had elsewhere. The cucumber salad was fresh and delicious, and they serve a big pot of tea which was perfect for sharing. Honestly, one of the tastiest dinners we’ve had in a while — we’ll definitely be coming back again and again! And staff is really nice and friendly!

Easy to get to from transit stops. Incredibly tasty and fast service. The soup beef dumpling and pork pan fried were incredible. Super fast to take care of us and such nice staff.

50 minutes just to get my order? Not worth it.🙃

Sat at one of the three tables outside. Was gorgeous sunny day and the setting was perfect. Food was super yum, high quality and so tasty. Highly recommend. I had the numbing spicy pork bao (fried), steamed numbing spicy steamed dumplings, pork wontons in sesame and spicy sauce and dan dan noodles. Large serving sizes and they tried to talk me into ordering by less as they were worried I was ordering mg too much. Loved their care. I wanted to try it all and said I will bring the rest home for later meals. Good decision making I say and didn’t regret my choices

The place for Sunday dumplings! Or any day! Everything we tried was excellent, but I LOVED the lamb curry dumplings! The brisket noodle soup, eggplant and green beans were tasty, too. I hope to return someday.

This is hands-down my second favorite dumpling spot in SF! The soup dumplings are the stars here super flavorful and better than the fried ones, in my opinion. The sesame boiled dumplings are my runner-up pick.

Pro tip: try the spicy soup dumplings and ask for their chili sauce, drizzle it on top for that extra kick 🔥 I also tried their fried eggplant and that was too oily.

Service is quick, but expect a ~20 minute wait during peak hours. The space is small, but you’re right in the heart of Fillmore with plenty of shops to explore while you wait.

First of all food… I have never tasted Xiao Long Bao so tasteless, meat had no taste and no spices. Fried dumplings had the same flavor problem.

Now about cleaness of this place… I completely lost my appetite when I saw what looked like a chef coming out of their kitchen wearing the dirtiest apron covered in old stains and what looked like blood. I cant imagine him being next to food wearing that thing.

The tea pot had old stains, water had something floating in it.

And the prices are expensive, tiny portion of green beans $17?

I am disgusted 🤮
