The food was so fresh, well cooked & deliciously flavored. I grew up here and have tried many Chinese & dim sum restaurants, but this one truly impressed me. The restaurant is tucked away and easy to miss, but you don’t want to. It’s excellent.What we ordered:—Stir fried green beans—Shrimp pork and chives potstickers—Vegetable chow mein—Har gow (shrimp dumplings)My 5 year old loved the shrimp dumplings so much she made us order a second serving and said, “these are the BEST I’ve ever had!”

Great food. We had streamed and boiled dumplings. Wonderfully prepared and very flavorful. Gen tea was very good, too. Wil go back next time we're down in SF.Parking: There is a small parking lot that serves several businesses. Street parking is difficult and not immediately in front of the premises.
Affordable price , good quality. Dumplings starts at 9$

Great surprise in the city. Driving by and noticed the high rating so stopped in. Highly recommend it, we had string beans, chicken dumplings and veggie dumplings. Everything was amazing including green tea!

Such good dumplings!!! Pan seared ones for crispy and delicious on the inside, soup dumplings were delicate with the juiciest filling.

Walked here by chance and decided to try it. We had the Shanghai bao, vegetable bao, spicy beef noodle soup, and the vegetable noodle soup. Every dish was flavorful and done well. The chocolate banana dumplings were a fun dessert too.

Wow. I'm blown away by the impressive and refined taste of the dishes here. It exceeded my expectations, and it is now my go-to Chinese dumpling restaurant. The xiao long bao was very juicy and satisfying, and the tendor/firm vegetables were clearly cooked by a master wok chef.

This is a great, casual place for dim sum. I brought my fam who loves dim sum. We're pretty white, but have a fair bit of experience with international cuisine. That said, my kids are just starting to become a little adventurous. The food was great- we had chicken chow mien, pan fried bao, steamed bow, pot stickers, green beans, onion pancakes, and garlic cucumber. It was a lot of food for the four of us. Everything was fantastic! The service was great even though we walked in during family meal. We talked with our server, and he was very nice. With tip, we came to $105. Very reasonable. I highly recommend this place, and we'll be back.
Did not enjoy this experience at all. I picked this place because it said it was good for kids and had vegetarian options. It turns out they no longer make most of their vegetarian options. The only thing they have is one dumpling which happens to be the first dumpling ever that my kids did not like. I thought they tasted fine, but the space was honestly just difficult to manage with kids. The service and the food weren't great.

Ordered takeout based on other reviews and wow will totally be coming back! Definitely agree with everyone about ordering the pan fried buns, xiao long bao, green beans, and beef noodle soup. We also got the hot and sour soup which I would get again. Only miss was the har gow. Yum so glad this place is close!

The dumplings are some of the best that I’ve had in the city! If you are in the area come here and get their XLB, pan fried dumps, cucumber salad, and green beans. They are all 5 stars. Seriously love this local neighborhood spot ♥️♥️♥️

We decided to come here after seeing the high ratings, and we’re stunned by how untrue the reviews are.We ordered beef noodle soup, XLB, potstickers, and chocolate banana XLB. The beef in the noodle soup didn’t taste fresh and was under seasoned. I love beef but it was so bad that I couldn’t finish.When the potstickers were served, we are just shocked. I’ve never seen potstickers look like this! Was it dumplings pretending to be potstickers?Their signature dish, xiao long bao, in Chinese means little basket bun. Tell me why these are humongous basket buns? To its credit, the dough was thin and soft. However, the pork had a flavor that’s not reminiscent of the classic pork filling.For dessert, we had chocolate banana xiao long bao. Again, they were not small. The chocolate filling was so sweet that it overpowered any chocolate flavor it had. We were so unhappy with the meal that we forgot to take pictures of the dessert.Just for the record, we’ve been to MANY Chinese and XLB restaurants. This is probably the worst and the weirdest food we have ever had.Would not recommend if you want authentic and delicious dumplings.
