The 14 Best SF Restaurants For Dining Solo - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Quick service, large crowds, and dumplings that arrive at the table fast make many of the city’s best dim sum spots perfect for eating alone. One spot we especially love is Dumpling Kitchen in the Sunset. This casual place is small, with just several large round tables in the middle of the dining room and spots along the periphery ideal for couples and solo diners. There will be a wait, but parties of two or less are usually seated quickly. When it’s your turn to order, get the siu mai overflowing with pork and shrimp, the meaty xiao long bao, and crispy-bottomed pan-fried pork buns." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
