"We’ll take any excuse to eat at Dumpling Home, including completely forgetting about Valentine’s Day until we receive a text involving the phrases "can't wait" and "to see what you have planned." The Chinese restaurant in Hayes Valley doesn’t take reservations anyway—so just show up, put your name on the list, and inhale the smell of fresh xiao long bao and dry-fried chicken wings while you wait. Another dish to get on the table is the juicy shengjianbao, which may or may not projectile spray soup onto your date's lap when you bite into one. " - julia chen 1
