Chinese restaurant · Eureka Valley

@eater

"This cozy spot in the Castro serves a full menu of home-style Sichuan dishes, which owner Lily Ji grew up eating in China, but the dim sum also draws a sizeable crowd. Choose from seafood, pork, or chicken shu mai or opt for the XLB, listed as Shanghai dumplings. There’s also the Mama Ji speciality: sweet rice with shrimp sausage and egg tucked into a packet of lotus leaves." - Dianne de Guzman, Lauren Saria, Luke Tsai
