Dumpling Bites

Everything is lovely! Let's start with food. They have a variety of selection of Shanghai food other than dumplings. And the portion is good size so don't be swayed by the restaurant name. We had old time faves Shanghai noodle, hot & sour soup, string beans, dried fried chicken, cucumber salad and they are all delicious. We always think we ordered more than we should but the plates are all wiped out at the end of the meal! Special mention their chicken skewers and house special rolls. These 2 deserve drum roll! Service is efficient and friendly. The owner checks on your tea and talks to the customers. The place is clean and presentable. Good to take a client or visitors.

Had a great dinner here. I love their menu and service was on point. We enjoyed pretty much everything. Sheng jian bao were good, wontons had an interesting and tasty filling but I wanted more flavor from the chili oil. House special rolls are unique and worth trying. Highlights- XLB - these are really delicious. Piping hot, full of gelatinous soup, soft and savory filling.. really good Dry fried string beans - beans are nice and crispy crunchy, good flavor and not overly saltyWould not order again-Cucumber salad - marinade is too light, pieces of cucumber are too big, so not enough flavor. Will definitely be back to try more!

Just kind of terrible? Definitely the worst dumplings I've had in almost 20 years in San Francisco. Everything tasted like the only flavors that weren't leached out were oil and salt. I mean no one got sick or anything, so that's good. But I ended up making cereal.

Small restaurant with quick service and yummy food for reasonable pricesTried the Shanghai rice cake, clay pot fish head, string beans, and soy milk. All was delicious, a little on the oily side. My favorite was the string beansThe restaurant is good for small to medium sized groups and the food is authentic. Would recommend!

Great food in the sunset!! Must get the pea shoots because they're cooked perfectly with whole garlic cloves. They also have so many variations of soup dumplings and we decided to go with the abalone ones (never seen this before) and the flavor was good but was chewier than I would've liked. Good service. Okay ambiance, they kept the restaurant pretty cold in temp, almost all the customers kept their jackets on. Would come back to try more dumplings.

This newly opened dumpling spot on Noriega was a delightful surprise and has officially made it into my top 3 soup dumpling spots in SF. The interior is freshly renovated, the service is spectacular, and the portion sizes are generous. Overall, a fantastic experience.We ordered the spicy wontons, Shanghai-style pan-fried pork buns, and shrimp dumplings. Every dish was packed with flavor and made with high-quality ingredients. I'm already planning my next visit!

I've been wanting to come here for the longest time, since they're one of the few restaurants in SF that sell fantuan (sticky rice roll), but the one time I tried, they were really busy, and my schedule was inflexible, so I couldn't dine in. Finally, I got around to it! I ordered a fantuan as a starter and the Mongolian beef with rice dish. The fantuan was good as expected and satisfied the craving. The Mongolian beef entrée was quite tasty with very tender beef, and the portion was generous, so it was a great value. I really liked the food and atmosphere here and look forward to coming back.

Came here looking for a big bowl of sweet soy milk and Chinese donuts. ..... wasnt what I was expecting but everything else was spectacular!My boyfriend and I came around 2pm -- there were only a handful of guests left We got seated quickly and got the abalone and pork XLB, the spicy pig ears, wontons in chili oil, the Shanghai pan fried buns, the fried Chinese donut, and sweet soy milk. The sweet soy milk comes in a cup. When asked to put in the bowl, there were able to, but it was a bit lukewarm. Sad. The Chinese fried donut was soo good -- crispy and fluffy. I could not stop eating it. The XLB skin was so thin and the soup inside was delicious and flavorful. I think I can just get this and be satisfied. The pan fried buns were also good -- although it could be a tad more pan fried. There is not broth that comes out, like other places, but the meat is tender and juicy.The spicy pig ears were average, but ive been wanting them for awhile, so it satisfied a craving. And the wonton in chili oil was bombbb. they came hot and the sauce/broth it was sitting in was so delicious. Since I had asked for the sweet soy milk thats usually in a cup to be put in a bowl, the waiter had asked me if wanted to try the savory soy milk that comes in a bowl. I ordered it, and it was not my cup of tea. my boyfriend kind of liked it... it has a fermented mustard-green type taste, with a little bit of chili oil and bits of tofu flying around. Im sure other people liked it, but just not me. loltotal was around $80 something.I would definitely come again if im in the area!

Some of the best Chinese food in the Sunset district.We ordered:- Shanghai-Style Steamed Pork Xiao Long Bao- Shanghai-Style Stir-Fried Rice Cake- Wonton Noodle Soup- Eggplant with Garlic SauceThe food came out quickly, and the portions were generous. All of the stir-fried entrees had that wok flavor if you know what I mean. The wonton soup was comforting, and the XLBs were juicy and savory. I had no favorite entree because they were all so yummy. I'd ordered all of the dishes again.It was a scrumptious meal with great customer service. (e.g., I left my credit card on the table and one of the waiters ran two blocks to give it back to me!)

New Shanghainese restaurant in the Sunset! They definitely give a modern feel with the newly renovated setup. I came in on Thanksgiving and got seated immediately. My group of 4 ordered:Shanghai-Style Steamed Pork Xiao Long Bao (3/5) - Potentially the thinnest skinned XLB I've ever had and there was a good amount of soup/meat but the main thing was the flavor was lacking. Shanghai-Style Pan-Fried Pork Buns (3/5) - This was alright but nothing stood out to me like could be pan-fried more & have more flavor. Shanghai-Style Chow Mein (3/5) - A lot of veggies but not many noodles & the noodles were very choppy like small pieces everywhere. The flavor was good though. Boiled Pork & Sweet Corn Dumplings (3/5) - It was ok.This place has good prices but not sure I'd come back because of the lack of flavor. You could love this place if you're looking for a clean Shanghai taste though! Overall, just ok for me.
