Dumpling Alley is a no-frills gem serving up satisfying noodles and juicy dumplings in a casual strip-mall setting, perfect for a quick, hearty bite.
"One of Clement Street’s litany of dumpling shops, Dumpling Alley, closed quietly in recent weeks. The phone is disconnected, and Yelp reports the restaurant as closed." - Paolo Bicchieri
"The flavors here are Shanghainese, and the springy handmade noodles draw praise for good reason." - Sophie Friedman
"The Chinese spot in the Outer Richmond is a great option when you want a casual, easy place to get some satisfying dumplings. The all-stars here are the juicy xiao long bao, pan-fried pork buns with perfectly crunchy sesame seed bottoms, and the pork and napa cabbage dumplings. Dumpling Alley also has a board of daily chef's specials to consider. For non-dumpling things you'll find scallion pancakes, shredded chicken salads, and a range of noodles in soups and sauces." - Lani Conway
"Best known for its best-in-class xiao long bao, which are unavailable for the time being, Dumpling Alley is now selling bags of several varieties frozen dumplings (from pork and sweet corn to pork, shrimp, and chives) — a bag of 20 will run you $10 or $11, depending on the variety. You can purchase and pick the dumplings directly at the restaurant, which is open 11:30 a.m.–8 p.m. every day except Monday." - Luke Tsai
