I love that this place is open later, their food is absolutely incredible. I can't recommend the soup dumplings more. It is one of those hole in the wall places you might walk by and never notice, but it is worth the trip inside. It is no frills but friendly service. I can't wait to go back and bring more friends to enjoy their food.
Really good food, reasonably cheap, and the staff were really nice.

Perhaps it was Valentine's Day and they were short staffed. Greasy slippery floors resulted in a slip and fall. After being seated, wait times to order food was over 30 minutes while watching the short staff send off order after order of take out and delivery orders. Finally asked for their tablet and ordered food on our own. Had to help ourselves to cups and napkins due to very dismal service. Food came quick and was decent. Then took another 15 minutes to get the bill after finished eating.

Called and said I have 1 adult 2 kids they said seating available. Got there abt 15 mins later and no table. They said 2 mins wait. Left after 20 mins, now late for kids dinner.Food is best in person but limited seating, don't count on it. Long wait. Other options nearbyl like Dumpling Kitchen
This is a very cozy and thematic Chinese restaurant in the Southern section of San Francisco's Sunset District. I visited this restaurant with my mother. The restaurant servers are enthusiastic people who gave us a warm welcome and guided us through their favorite items on their diverse selection of dishes.My mom and I ended up enjoying their Vegetarian Dumplings, Hot & Sour Soup, Fried Rice and Boiled Peanuts. The dumplings were soft and subtly delicious. Their fried rice was cooked perfectly and the peanuts were healthy yet tasty. Overall, the food was great and healthy (low oil, low sodium).The atmosphere inside the restaurant was gorgeous. The small tables, Chinese tapestry, and wonderful aromas of the kitchen drifting into the dining area transported us to a small, quaint town in China for our lunch. The servers created a friendly environment inside and all the customers seemed to have a wide grin on their face. I felt and still feel so much more pleasure and satisfaction from my experience at Kingdom of Dumpling, but I don't have any more apt words to translate those emotions.

Small place, good food, responsible price, service is so so. Only one server with six tables.
Best services have ever been craving foreverOverall, we had a good experience and dishes were generous portions and nicely presented. We started with the fried tiger prawns (generous portion of three pawns even though the menu says five ) and the beef salad which was perfectly seasoned and balanced. For entrees we had the lemongrass chicken two ways and the plant based pork meatball curry. Both dishes were delicious but we preferred the sautéed chicken thighs to the roasted chicken breast. The highlight for me was the fire roasted eggplant which surprised me since I am not typically an eggplant fan- it was delicate and balanced well with shallots and pork. The brussels sprouts were also nicely done in a very large portion.In terms of service, all of the staff were kind and friendly but I wish service could have been a little quicker. The food came out promptly but it took a little while to order and to also get the check. Also, the restaurant week menu was not included with the regular menu and we had to request the restaurant week menu which they gladly brought.For more positive feedback to increase your [email protected]

The restaurant is tiny, but they do have waitlist online.Everything was made fresh and even though it took us a little longer than ideal to get home & eat (lol trying to find parking in hayes valley), every single thing was delicious once it finally met our tastebuds.Our order:C01. Shanghai Soup Dumpling (6 Pcs) $15.90 - my faveC06 Green Chives Pancake (2 Pcs) $9.95 - 11/10 will def get againB05 Pork Dumpling with Corn (12 pcs) $11.45 - his faveB09 Chicken Dumpling with Green Chives (12 pcs) $11.45 - tasty but might skip & try something new next timeD01 Pork and Shrimp Wonton with Wide Rice Noodle (Soup Wide Rice Noodle) $11.95 - my second fave
