The soup dumplings were delicious. Another in the group ordered the Bao and really enjoyed it as well. The staff might be some of the best in all of California. They were insightful when it came to ordering and the food came out extremely fast. Absolutely fantastic!

invited for group dinner. Service is great. However, goods is not recommended.Dumpling, no matter from which regions, skin should be unbroken before bite. The way putting Xiao Long Bao is not great, which made skin broken easily and lost its meat juice. The shop owner should study better cooking steps, such as from Taiwan or famous brand which is benefits to your business.Wine is also....terrible.

This place was absolutely amazing. The Wagyu Gyoza and Soup Dumplings (Tom Yum Goong) were an absolute treat of an escape during a cold rainy day in San Fran. Don't forget to get the Mango Pudding as dessert!

Wanted to grab a quick bite in the neighborhood and ended up at dumpling time. Their bao pork buns are always spot on and the chicken gyoza is cooked to perfection. The XLB was okayish as there are better places serving XLB in the bay. The outdoor seating had a garden theme and was perfect for a Saturday

Quite bad, the high rating just doesn’t make sense. Wasted my Chinese New Year Dinner there. Avoid it if you can.

Dumplings are a bit underwhelming.Ordered a variety of dumplings but all of them seemed to lack that “kick” or burst of flavor. They were cooked to perfection but they seem to under season the protein. Willing to give them another shot when I return to SF but was definitely expecting to get my socks knocked off just due to the great reviews and reputation this establishment has gotten.

Worst XLB ever. Just go to 99 Ranch, they're better.Oh wait, no actually they're the same, because that's probably where they get them.
First time in a dumpling restaurant and overall the experience was good. The seafood gyozo was tasty and the thin cracker like stuff on top was a nice touch. The shrimp toast was also good and I liked that that there was a generous portion of the asian green salad. Portions could’ve been bigger but I guess it was good enough for lunch.

Next to zero vegetarian/vegan options with zero flexibility to switch out meat in any of the items on the menu. Dismissive and monosyllabic service. My "cocktail" was 95% sugar and negligible quantity of alcohol.

The tastes you experience with these dishes are refined. Yummy dumplings paired with delicious sauces. Indoor and outdoor seating. Clean bathrooms. Very popular with San Francisco residents!
