The price is reasonable and the portion is generous. Squirrel Fish is especially recommended. Fried noodles, cucumber jelly, dumplings, fried cakes, and sesame seed cakes with beef are also delicious?

I recently visited this place and was looking forward to having some awesome siu mai but was quite disappointed with my experience. It felt like I was eating frozen siu mai from a store.

Haven’t been able to come for a while and man, still delicious little nuggets of joy! Love these dumplings and the multilayer green onion pancake. Even my girls (7&9) loved the multilayer green onion pancake and the chicken and corn dumplings. They ate the whole dozen of them between them and a piece of the pancake each.I ordered the 3 flavor dumplings (pork shrimp and chives) and my mom got the fish and chives.The service was fine, though with only one person working the front she was super busy. We are patient though and got everything we ordered and ate while we were there at one of the 5 small tables.Ambiance isn’t amazing because it’s so small and a little cramped but the dumplings are definitely worth it. The multilayer pancake is delicious and crispy as well.I wish we lived closer but sadly I live in Knoxville so I can only come when I visit family. If you love dumplings, you need to visit the House of Dumplings. They sell frozen dumplings you can cook at home too.

Mom and pop place, it seems. Very casual and unpretentious. The dumplings were great. We also had black mushrooms, they were delicious. Scallion pancakes and fried tofu - pretty good too. Service was very

20 or more years now I believe that I have been coming here. Every time the food and service has been phenomenal. Not a single complaint in all these many years speaks for itself. I live within walking distance so one can imagine the frequency with which I frequent this restaurant and they are an absolute delight every time. By the by, Chinese food in general is not my favorite however this place certainly is and continues to sway my opinion towards the good. Fortunately House of Dumplings exists. Unfortunately they have ruined my chances of being happy with any other Chinese food restaurant. I’m still thinking this is a good conundrum being that House of Dumplings does indeed exist?.

I googled Chinese food and stumbled upon this little gem. I arrived 30 min. prior to closing for take out. Ordered veggie chowmein, shrimp stir fry and veggie rolls. The food was not greasy, well seasoned and yummy! It took me back to the 70's in SF Chinatown! I'll be coming back! Owner is really nice and friendly.
I got the chicken and corn dumplings and the brown noodle. Both were decent, while the filling for the dumplings was fine, it seemed a little over steamed. Was kinda what I was expecting, but had higher hopes for the dumpling quality. This is a small location and the restaurant floor feels quite cluttered, but it’s understandable given they don’t have much space in the building. Staff was friendly and service was quick.

I literally searched for this place on Google again just to write up a review. Best jiaozi dumplings I've had in the Bay Area so far, and the people who run the restaurant (seems to be a mom and pop type establishment) are super friendly. They speak both Chinese and English, and they will enthusiastically recommend items on their menu if you tell them what you like.The jiaozi dough is excellent and filling is tasty and generous. A pet peeve of mine is jiaozi filling that has sugar added resulting in a "sweet" taste, so I was relieved and happy to find that the pork and napa cabbage dumplings I tried were savory, without any sweetness.For dessert, have very delicious taro baozi (buns) - if you like fresh taro paste, you won't be able to just eat one, I promise you ;)If dumplings are not for you, they also have noodle soups and other dishes.Finally, you can buy bags of frozen dumplings for a very reasonable price too. Bring cash for that.Only downside is that it's a small shop, so not good for big groups.Will definitely be back to try their other dumplings and items!

Additional Edit: Still one of my favourite places to visit when I'm in town. Just the perfect place to slowly drink some tea, and enjoy some perfect dumplings!Came here last year with a friend, and when I'm in the area I try to come here as much as I can. I really love the dumplings here, they are really authentic and have really good flavour. There are other things other than dumplings if dumplings are not for you! The family that runs the place here are always super friendly. Definitely worth your money here!
Very authentic taste of northern China!!!!!!
