"There aren't a ton of Chinese food options in Nob Hill, so we welcome Mini Potstickers. The laidback spot (with an original location in the Sunset) specializes in, shocker, mini pan-fried dumplings, each with crispy bottoms that audibly crunch with each bite. Other dishes are also worth your time—including jianbing, chow mein, and xiao long bao. It’s easy to walk in and get a table, so feel free to show up with your entire Volo kickball league for a straightforward weeknight dinner." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
