Shanghai Dumpling King - Review - Duboce Triangle - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"This casual Shanghainese spot just opened a second outpost in Duboce Triangle, meaning there’s another place to get their fantastic stir-fried rice cakes—the standout of any meal here.

To go with it, you can also order an assortment of steamed, boiled, or pan-fried dumplings, or larger entrées like salt and pepper fish or slightly sweet chicken and corn soup.
