"Don’t get it twisted—Dumpling House has zero relation to Dumpling Home. But this Castro spot is still a great option when your internal clock is in urgent need of potstickers. The space is usually filled with neighbors and groups of friends passing steamers and dunking soup dumplings in vinegar and ginger (the ones here come in those pesky tin foil cups, but hold their form when you pick them up regardless). And if you want to watch the entire life cycle of a dumpling, stare over at the TV playing the whole process on loop. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
