They have pretty solid XLB soup dumplings and i recommend their royal pancake. I am not a fan of egg puffs but they were awesome here.

Small little restaurant that serves some dim sum and dumplings, the flavor or the dumplings and wontons was pretty authentic, the char siu BAO was a no, it tasted weird. We ordered about 8 different types of dumplings and siu long BAO, flavours was good. The hk style wonton is the best tasting out of all the stuff we ordered. The crab siu long BAO flavor was weird combo. Wasn't much service but it wasn't bad sercve, it's a small little restaurant. Would come again.

The Dumpling House is a great restaurant to eat dumplings. I have visited many times and always love to eat there.Sometimes it gets busy, but the service is usually fast.Personally, I do not like that they do not have printed menus and you can only order on your phone.Highly recommended.

Another excellent choice in the Castro District. I had a variety of dumplings. My favorite was the pork/shrimp dumplings. The wait staff was very helpful. I even had the opportunity to practice some Chinese Mandarin language. I highly recommend the Dumpling House!

Worst dumpling ever. Less than half size of dumpling should be. Inside is always noting and no taste. Will never go back nor recommend.

The dumplings were ok but the other food was pretty bad.
They have gluten free dim sum! I have never been able to find a gluten free dim sum place. We have already eaten here twice in less than 24 hrs. Will be back for sure with family.Dietary restrictions: They have lots of options for gluten free dim sum.

This place was a great find right next to Barry’s Castro! Went based on the waitlist and there was no wait!Good:- The food to value ratio was great!- I loved the zhajiang noodles, the sauce was so tasty- The XLB here was also super soupy and came with 6- The bbq bun was really good, good texture and soft bun- Nice place to go to with friends, super chill casual ambianceBad:- The wait was pretty long for food!Overall this place was a hidden gem!

This was the highlight of my SF trip this time! The staff was incredibly friendly, and all the food arrived promptly.Note: Not shown, but we also tried the pan-fried vegetable dumplings. If you order them, do so first because the staff informed us that it's the dish that takes the longest to cook! Totally worth the wait.Thanks to the variety of fillings and wrapper types, each dish had a unique texture that left us craving more! My personal favorite this time was the chili wonton dish. To complete the meal, we also enjoyed oolong tea served in an adorable clear pot with matching cups.One downside was that the Black Truffle XLB didn't taste any different from regular XLB, in my opinion. Nonetheless, it was still piping hot and delicious! Can't wait to return.

Oh my god.... When I tell you this is the best food I've ever had in my life..... I'm not kidding. I loved the bbq pork buns, the spicy wontons and the bean paste noodles!!!!! Perfect amount of food and delicious in every single way. I will come back to sf just for this
