Dumpling Time Design District

Food is absolutely awful if you are expecting any sort of authenticity.

As a chinese person i was appalled at how bad it is. If you are chinese or used to good chinese food do not come here.

Westernized trash. You can tell because no chinese people will be seated at the restaurant

This is probably for white people, so go dumping home

Wonton tasted like frozen ones, and overpriced for few pieces included.

This is a great dumpling place. Optimal for family style sharing. The dumplings are well prepared. We got space on a weekend evening. The prices are somewhat high.

Really friendly folks serving a small variety of dumplings and other asian food. Service made the experience worth it!

Delicious but majority of dishes aren’t vegetarian friendly, and there’s no option to swap out the meat for a substitute. I think there’s pork in almost everything.

I was told countless times this place was amazing. But I feel like the hype and the long lines are just a bunch of zombie Gen Z'ers jumping on a bandwagon. Not worth the wait. There are plenty of places near by with half the wait and higher quality food.

Unfriendly waiter who told me they don’t serve salt just because he thought I would dip it in the chilli sauce whereas I just poured some in my plate. The gyoza fillings fell out which wasn’t a nice experience to eat the gyoza empty and the filling with a fork and a knife . Nothing was flavorful I believe they need to make twists by adding flavors / sauces / oil

Really bad service, so rude, especially the person standing outside.

Amazing food! We have enjoyed it for years.

Sadly, their delivery orders are a mess. 3 or 4 times now our order has been missing something or wrong. This time they didn't even cross out the missing seaweed salad.

Wish they would work on their orders.

Not as flavorful as I had anticipated and hoped. Most dishes fell pretty flat on the palate. we also ordered the XLB and it was never served to us. I'm not sure if we were charged for it?

The xi’an dumplings were the best. The wagyu gyoza did not have any taste of wagyu and the chicken gyoza was honestly better. The lamb dumpling comes with only 4 pieces and was alright. The service was prompt and fastidious. However, the food was not at the level I expected. They need to add more options for soup dumplings as well. All the ciao ling bao are only pork options.

Bland.

What happened? I have ordered from here before and dined at the other SF location a couple of weeks ago and everything was delicious, as always. Today we got a sad excuse of "soup dumplings" that have no liquid in them, thick gluten wrappers, old tofu, and nasty quality of pork filling. We were very disappointed with the drop in quality.
