Must-Try Pork Baozi!
My experience at this restaurant was highlighted by the MUST ORDER: Pan Fried Baozi stuffed with Pork! They were incredibly juicy and tasty, offering a distinctly delicious flavor compared to other establishments. The server was friendly, although the overall vibe of the place was a bit noisy.

Delicious Homemade Dumplings & Awesome Owners!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The dumplings 🥟 were clearly created in house, and you could absolutely tell. All of the food was completely delicious 😋. The owners were super awesome 😎, and I can’t wait for round 2! It's also vegan friendly.

Best Chinese Food Ever!
My experience at this restaurant was exceptional. I can confidently say it's the best Chinese restaurant I've ever had in my entire life, and that's a significant statement considering how many I've tried. My brothers joined me, and they wholeheartedly agree. I will definitely be returning anytime I'm in San Francisco.

Tasty dumplings, but phone ordering was a hassle
My experience at the restaurant involved enjoying very tasty dumplings. The service was also good. The only downside was having to order over the phone rather than in person, though payment was handled by handing cash to the server.

Delicious Soup Dumplings and Rib Soup
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I came for the soup dumplings, which had the most natural and least greasy filling I've ever tasted. I stayed for the hearty mushroom and pork rib soup, which was incredibly satisfying. They also serve the best string beans in town! The service, atmosphere, and food were all top-notch, each receiving a perfect score.

Best Dumplings and Noodle Soup!
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly positive, especially concerning the food. We loved every item we ordered and cannot wait to return. The dumplings and noodle soup were the best we've ever had. We tried boiled (chicken and mushroom), steamed (veggies), and fried (pork, shrimp, and chive) dumplings, and each one seemed better than the last. Even as someone who isn't typically a mushroom or veggie fan, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked both of those and would definitely order them again. The fried pork and shrimp dumplings were "off the hook! " We also enjoyed the garlic cucumber, which was new to us and delicious, and the beef noodles were "insanely good" with so much flavor. The service was quick and efficient, and ordering via the app was convenient. The ambiance was comfortable and casual, though a bit boring; I suggested adding hanging artwork to liven up the high ceilings. Parking was a bit of a challenge, as we found a dirt spot next door, and I'm unsure if it was legal, though I assume street parking is available. Overall, it was a great dining experience, particularly for those heading to or from the airport.

Beware of Hidden Charges on Your Bill
My experience at this restaurant involved an unexpected charge. They added a $5. 99 tip to my bill without my permission. I strongly advise everyone to check your bills carefully and keep your receipt, as they may charge you as well.

Excellent Dumplings, Great Value!
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly positive, especially concerning the dumplings. The Xialongbao and Pan Fried Pork Bao were top notch and really tasty, featuring good meat and a salty, rich broth that was warm and wholesome. While the green beans and chow mein were solid accompaniments, the dumplings are truly the star. The custard buns had a slightly grainy texture, but the flavor was sensational – sweet and light. The staff were friendly, the service was quick, and the prices were very reasonable. We arrived at 3: 00 PM on a Saturday and were served our first course by 3: 15 PM. The Thai iced tea was just serviceable; I imagine the hot teas are probably better. I would recommend this place without reservation.
