Dumpling Specialist in San Francisco

- Pan fried pork bun- Steamed pork/cabbage dumpling- Siu mai- Spring roll5/5 - These were all so so good. Spot on flavor, texture, juiciness.- Wonton in chili oil4/5 - Good but not my desired level of spice and flavor.

Oh my gosh the food here was yummy. My friends and I got a little bit of everything and it was all very good. Its a small place so expect a little bit of a wait.

Good alternative to Moms dumpling near SFSU. Will try more of their family style dishes next time.

Very small neighborhood place with very limited lunch and dinner hours. 4% surcharge on CC but cash and Venmo accepted. Went twice to try different foods and family enjoyed both times. Kitchen was fast (presumably being small helps).

Really flavorful dumplings, great prices and service. Awesome place.

It is January of 2023, but still no indoor dining here. I prefer to eat my noodle soups at the restaurant because noodles in soup are not good for to-go. It also adds to plastic waste. They do put the soup and noodles in separate containers so that the noodles dont get saturated. I had their 5 spice beef stew noodle soup $8.50 and a wonton noodle soup $8. I did enjoy my meal. The food wasnt overly seasoned and had a clean non-MSG taste. The noodles werent the traditional thin yellow noodles but a thicker noodle. It reminded me of the Taiwan night market beef noodles (台灣紅燒牛肉麵) but the ones here dont have that tasty red chili sauce mixed in. The wonton noodle soup was fine. Nothing special. My noodles were ready in less than 10 minutes after ordering in person at around 6:30pm. No wait. Good job Dumpling Specialist.

Tiny dumpling shop with only 6 tables. Strong dumpling game - especially the steamed pork and cabbage dumplings and the pan-fried dumplings. Har gao are not as good - recommend avoiding. They also have a bunch of noodle and rice dishes, but those are not what you should be coming here for.

Quick service great eats! Everything here is so delicious you can’t go wrong with anything you order from here so try everything. I especially loved the dumplings getting those are a must! Friendly fast service they are not doing dine in right now but there are plenty of parks nearby that you can enjoy your meal at! They take credit card but there is a 4% fee bring cash or use Venmo to avoid the fee! So glad I made the stop here during my trip!

The Shanghai dumplings I received was hard on top and all dried out. The bottom was fine but when I lifted them up, they all broke apart and all the soup spilled out. The flavor isn’t very good in the soup dumplings either. The five spice beef noodle soup had good and tender beef but the noodles were too doughy and the soup was bland.

Delicious dumplings. Tiny location, so be prepared to wait! The xlb (soup dumplings) had a super flavorful broth. The shanghai dumplings had just enough crispiness. The vegetarian potstickers has picked veggies and were also tasty. If I would order a non dumpling item again the five spice beef stew was a winner! I thought the spicy dumplings were a little underwhelming flavor wise. But all in all I can’t wait to come back again!
