12 Best Dumpling Restaurants in San Jose and the South Bay | Eater SF

"Dumpling Time first opened five years ago in the Design District of San Francisco, but this location in Santana Row has brought the restaurant’s signature dumplings to the South Bay. Not only can visitors watch them being made by hand in the glass-walled dumpling room, but they can also enjoy Chinese staples that incorporate higher-end ingredients like lobster and wagyu. Dumpling Time also takes soup dumplings to the next level, with the King Dum, a giant soup dumpling served with a large bubble-tea straw to extract the hot broth. Guests rave about the tom yum soup dumplings with pork belly and coconut milk filling, wrapped in a beet-colored dough." - Cathy Park
