Shanghai Dumpling King

The 18 Best Restaurants In The Castro - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"On Monday nights when it seems like half the restaurants in the area—and the rest of the city—are closed and you want to stave off “big fog blues,” the answer is Shanghai Dumpling King and their huge bowls of creamy chicken and corn soup. This spot in Duboce Triangle serves generously portioned Chinese comfort dishes, from delicate soup dumplings to crispy salt and pepper fish. A trip here is never complete without their saucy stir-fried rice cakes loaded with pork and cabbage—they alone are the sole reason to look forward to the start of the week." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
