Dynasty Dumpling

We didn’t try the dumplings which is what this place is supposed to be known for, so you’d have to take that into account. The non dumpling dishes that we tried were just average at best, not particularly tasty but not horrible either, overall would not try again given that there are many other more delicious restaurants at the same price point. We had the beef chow fun (bland, and several clumps, though not too greasy), walnut shrimp (big shrimp but not many), jie lan vegetable (garlic sauce just ok, very light, I guess good for people who prefer dishes to be on the lighter flavor side), cumin lamb (bigger thicker pieces of lamb than other places but definitely with meat tenderizer), dry fried green beans (very wet sauce as opposed to usual dry stir fry, not very flavorful). Portion sizes were decent for price, that may be redeeming point. We got carryout and ordered at the restaurant rather online since we were in the neighborhood. Food was ready quickly, not a long wait, though we were there off peak on the early side around 3pm.

My wife and I made an impromptu decision for dinner, and glad we picked the right place! The food was delicious and not greasy or added sodium. I ordered the salmon/avocado/egg/rice dish and my wife got 8 vegetable dumplings and vegetable noodles. Very generous portions to all the dishes! My salmon rice had the right flavors of savory and creamy. The noodles were not greasy and the vegetables added crisp flavor. The dumplings look house made and were packed with vegetables. Service was excellent! A great find and great food. Price was on point. We will come back!

Delicious soups!! The dynasty sizzling rice soup (large only) is delicious and I’d get it again, I was also able to ask for chicken only instead of chicken and shrimp. The chicken and corn soup (small) had so much meat in it and was delicious as well For the both I paid $26, calling ahead for pickup was super easy

We had a great meal at Dynasty Dumpling. The restaurant was clean and bright, and we enjoyed the wall of little decorations. Service was quick, friendly and helpful. I loved the steamed veggie dumplings and scallion pancakes I ordered. I'd eat here again any time!

I was just walking around and saw that this place had good reviews. I am not usually one to wonder into random Chinese restaurants mostly because people don’t realize there are several cuisines within China, but very glad I did with this place. Turns out it was a Cantonese style cooking. It is very well priced along with having your typical “American” Chinese food and you get traditional Cantonese style food. The restaurant is also clean, modern and stylish along with the dinnerware. I got the Dan Dan Noodles and fried juicy pork buns. I would get again and come back again.

I had a really great experience eating here. The hot and sour soup was amazing and the orange chicken I had was excellent. I may come back here again. 5 stars

Visited this place twice and we pescatarians love it! The food the portions and the service are really good. We have ordered the Szechuan fish fillet And it’s simply fantastic with the five spice, We can’t get enough of it! The fried rice is excellent with lots of shrimp in it. I really wish their shrimp dumplings did not have pork. But on the flipside their tofu wrapped shrimp and tofu wrap are simply delicious and crunchy!

Food was good/average, but the employees were nice and the restaurant itself was welcoming and quiet so it was relaxing!

i've been a loyal customer since they opened & am finally getting around to posting for them! theyre always a friendly bunch of staff, even if it gets busy & fluent in both english and mandarin. one of my favorite go-to order is the hot and spicy pork xlb. it's not really that spicy, but it's packed with flavors and still has the slightest "kick to the back of the throat" kind of spice. as someone who can barely eat 5 hot cheetos, i find this level of spice very manageable!! i've ordered from this place -- togo/doordash, dine-in with varying party sizes, and it continues to be a staple! a cozy atmosphere that isn't too bustling like other dumpling franchises around the city.

Our group ordered an array of dishes, each one was delicious. The braised eggplant was rich and flavorful. The pan-fried juicy pork buns stood out in particular--crispy on the bottom, soft on top, and bursting with flavorful broth inside. They tasted like a perfect marriage between a classic soup dumpling and a traditional pork bun--comforting, satisfying, and truly juicy. Another standout was the fried shrimp wrapped in tofu skin. The exterior had a beautifully crisp texture that gave way to tender, juicy shrimp inside. It struck that balance of crunch and succulence. Dishes arrived quickly and hot, fresh from the kitchen. While the service was fairly straightforward--not overly attentive but efficient--the food more than made up for it. Highly recommend for dumpling lovers. We'll definitely be returning.

This place is a ride or die for me! The best Chinese food I've ever had. It's in my neighborhood so I've ordered from here various times. I've dined in for the lunch special (my fav), dinner and also ordered takeout. The food here is incredible, literally every dish is so amazing. But my top two are the Shanghai noodles and the boiled shrimp and leek dumplings. Service here is great. The workers are super nice, kind, friendly, accommodating and helpful. Ambiance in here is perfect. It's nicer but still casual. Great for various types of events. I usually eat solo here and I love it. But I've also gone with family and seen plenty of people having dates, business meetings, etc.

Came here on a weeknight and it wasn't super busy and ordered a few dishes with my partners. I appreciated the huge portion sizes -- we had plenty left over to take home after. Feel like the things we ordered were more "American" chinese food than authentic dishes, but knew that going in so it was fine. The sheng jian bao was not that great (definitely go to Dumpling Home for that instead) but thought everything else was tasty. I like the beef chow fun and garlic green beans I got from takeout from here before more than what's pictured below haha.

Was craving some Chinese food and normally I go out to the Sunset but decided to find a spot around the Pac Heights area. Ordered the chicken chow mein and sesame chicken. Food came out literally in less than 10 minutes and it was fresh too. Sesame chicken was alright, I wish the texture was a bit crunchier. The chicken was a bit soggy from the sauce, but flavor was good! Chicken chow mein was also yummy; good amount of sauce used in the dish so it wasn't bland. Overall wouldn't mind coming again to try some of their other items!

I appreciate that the restaurant is open late on a Sunday. While waiting for my dad being in the ER Kaiser, I completely forgot about dinner time for my elderly mommy. We arrived about 20 minutes before closing, we still got a friendly greeting and got seated promptly. The servers are super nice and polite. The ambiance is casual. Our food arrived sizzling hot and tasty. I liked the garlic green beans which were cooked perfectly and flavorful. The turnip cake is special, just like how others raved on Yelp. The dumplings noodle soup is delish. Give this place a try! You will like it.

Dumplings in the city always hit better. The honey, walnut shrimp wasn't my favorite but very serviceable and good if that's what you're looking for. But the dumplings were on point and the fried potsticker was very, very tasty. Service was quick and friendly, and the prices were reasonable.

Came here on a Sunday around 1pm no wait for 2 people. Simple clean interior and attentive staff. Ordered the chow fun, green beans, shrimp and pork siu mai and pan fried pork buns. Chow fun was classic but nothing to right home about. Green beans were kind of cold and didn't have much flavor. The siu mai were good and the pan fried pork buns were too. Dumpling home has more flavorful ones though! Big portions though and good for takeout in a pinch!

We searched for a XLB place coming from Chicago a good Chinese food desert. We ordered the Hot spicy pork XLB and then the hot spicy pork shen jian bao (SJB). OMG the food was sooo good. The XLB were huge. You get six but the size is equivalent to 8 baos. It wasn't very spicy. just enough to add flavor. The SJB is 4 amazing baos. The meat filling has the soup in it so it squirts flavor with every bite. So make sure you close your mouth or you will wear some of the soup. We had to have another one they were so good. The bottoms nicely brown just like in Shanghai. The menu is extensive. This is a real treasure. They serve beer and sake. If I lived in SF I would be back weekly.

My favorite Chinese restaurant in SF. Staff is cool. One of you my regular lunch spots for take out

Food was outstanding. Juicy pan fried buns- the dim sum was delicious!!! The service was excellent as well. Clean and quiet restaurant to enjoy a meal and conversation.

Dynasty Dumpling is a well-decorated, sunny little spot in Lower Pac Heights with what looks like a super extensive list of happy hour and group deals. recs: shrimp and leek boiled dumplings price: ~$20/person tips: we used the doordash dining out deal here to save $10 on a $25+ order! - Scallion Mixed Noodles: The flavor of the scallions really came through, and the noodles tasted fresh, but I felt pretty sluggish after eating this because it's a relatively oily dish - Boiled Shrimp and Leek Dumplings: Shrimp was bouncy, and the flavor of the leeks really came through! Simple ingredients that contrasted really well. - Roast Duck Potstickers: Ordered this out of curiosity and it was exactly what it sounds like -- diced roast duck inside a well-fried and crispy potsticker! Service was fast -- we were seated early and we paid at the counter easily with the Doordash deal.

The food here is so so delicious and it comes out so quickly! I highly recommend all of their dim sum dishes and it's a great spot to have dim sum for dinner since most spots in the city only offer their dim sum menus for brunch.

When we first walked in, it was crowded on a Sunday night! We were seated immediately for a party of 2. Parking is a little hard to find in this area. We ordered a bunch of dishes because we wanted to give everything a fair try. Ranking them from our favorite: 1. Mu Shu Pork - so good! Very well balanced and perfect amount of smoke 2. Szechuan Spicy Chicken - not oily, light breading, quality pieces of chicken breast 3. Sautéed String Beans - on the softer side, not as crunchy 4. Salt & Pepper Wings - not too salty and very juicy 5. Asparagus Beef - Flavor was good but didn't like how thick the sauce was 6. Shanghai Fried Noodles - typically they should be a lot chewier, the noodles were doughy and undercooked, so sad because I love Shanghainese noodles Overall still a very delicious and filling meal. It may be my new go-to Chinese spot!! Portions are big, perfect for large parties and the service was fast. A great casual spot for friends and family or even a quick takeout meal!

I love the food here. The hot and sour soup was perfectly cooked and the orange chicken was delicious. The ambiance of this place was very good and the overall service was very friendly. I highly recommend this place. 5 stars

Soooo good! We shared an assortment of various dumplings which were all great. The fried pork buns were fantastic! The braised green beans were perfection - not soggy, not crunchy, just enough snap! Will definitely be back.

Have been here a few times now and this is probably my favorite dumpling place in the city. The real star is the sheng jian bao (not sure what they call it in the english menu). This is the only place that I have that comes anything close to what it would taste like in Shanghai. The Hong Kong pan fried noodles here are also really great. I grew up eating this dish as a kid and it is still a favorite of mine as an adult. The mongolian beef here is also quite good. The soup dumplings are good but not great. The meat is a bit bland and the proportions are a bit off. I would stay away from the scallion pancake as it isn't that great. Food comes out fast and the prices are pretty reasonable. We spent about $20 per person.

We didn't try the dumplings which is what this place is supposed to be known for, so you'd have to take that into account. The non dumpling dishes that we tried were just average at best, not particularly tasty but not horrible either, overall would not try again given that there are many other more delicious restaurants at the same price point. We had the beef chow fun (bland, and several clumps, though not too greasy), walnut shrimp (big shrimp but not many), jie lan vegetable (garlic sauce just ok, very light, I guess good for people who prefer dishes to be on the lighter flavor side), cumin lamb (bigger thicker pieces of lamb than other places but definitely with meat tenderizer), dry fried green beans (very wet sauce as opposed to usual dry stir fry, not very flavorful). Portion sizes were decent for price, that may be redeeming point. We got carryout and ordered at the restaurant rather online since we were in the neighborhood. Food was ready quickly, not a long wait, though we were there off peak on the early side around 3pm. Didn't eat there but went inside to pick up and ambience is a bit nicer than most other Chinese restaurants.

Got lunch at yet another one of these places for dumplings. It may be one of the more affordable options in Pacific Heights. Dynasty Dumpling is bigger than it looks with a good sized dining area. Plenty of tables for a crowd. The prices are pretty okay for the amount and how big these are so eat up and get stuffed. At lunch it was pretty busy. It's annoying but it's a good sign. The dumplings are the main thing. Get a lot for not a lot. It's about $8 for the Vegetable Dumplings, which comes in the basket in which these are steamed. Big green dumplings. These are filling. Looks are deceiving as these are filled up and a few are enough. These have carrots and peas. Better place among the options for dumplings. It's affordable for how much you get. There's plenty of choices for vegans and vegetarians.

I believe the food is good because of the close proximity to SF Chinatown, I also believe the prices are high because of the close proximity to Pacific Heights. I'm not saying I agree but I understand. We did takeout this time, but would love to return for a sit down meal. My favorite was the duck dumpling. BB

It's all about the dumplings plus everything else we ordered was delicious. My 6 year old granddaughter is a soup dumpling addict. She conceded that the dumplings were better than those in San Diego where she lives. The restaurant is very attractive and the service was attentive. We ended up ordering beef chow fun in a delicious sauce, Szechuan shrimp( ample amounts of large shrimp in a spicy sauce, pan fried pork dumplings plus 2 orders of Shanghai original soup dumplings. The tea arrives in a pretty teapot. The portions were large and our food arrived piping hot and pretty quickly. Can't wait to try more dishes from their menu. Everything was very fresh.

We've been regulars at Dumpling Dynasty for a while now, and it truly feels like a second home. The staff, especially our favorite waitress, always go above and beyond. She knows us so well that she brings hot water in mugs for my elderly parents and forks--without us even asking. That kind of thoughtful service is rare and deeply appreciated. The food? Absolutely delicious every single time. From the dumplings to the noodles and everything in between, the flavors are always spot-on and satisfying. And the best part? The prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes.

The most recent time I came to Dynasty Dumpling definitely bumped this place up to 5 stars for me! It was my second time eating in the restaurant, and the service and food were absolutely deserving of the highest praise. My group of 8 came in on a Friday a little before 8pm and it was really busy inside. Every table was basically full, so we put our number down and went to Scopo Divino across the street to enjoy some wine while we waited. I got a call at 8:30 that our table was ready, so we headed over. Our waitress was so friendly and welcoming even though we were getting seated within 30 minutes of closing. We ordered walnut prawns, salt and pepper fish, garlic chow mein, veggie fried rice, mapo tofu, cumin lamb, orange chicken, crab and pork xiao long bao, bbq pork buns, pan fried pork buns, and har gow. The food started coming out shortly after we ordered and everything was piping hot and fresh. The new standout items for me were the garlic chow mein, cumin lamb, and pan fried pork buns, but there was nothing bad to say about any dish. The garlic noodles came with thick and chewy noodles tossed in a delicious garlic butter sauce, made even better with some of their chili oil. The cumin lamb was sooo tender and flavorful, and went so well with some rice. The pan fried pork buns had a nice thin wrapper, full of juicy meat, and was crispy on the bottom. I didn't get to try the veggie fried rice and mapo tofu, but they got good reviews. The dim sum was pretty good too, my fav being the flavor of the soup in the crab and pork xiao long bao. We had a vegetarian and pescetarian in our group, and there were good options for both of them. The house cold sake was easy to drink and went well with the fried and spicier dishes. Huge shoutout to the restaurant for staying open until almost 10pm for us, we were so thankful that we got to enjoy our meal and we weren't rushed out. It was some of my friends' first time coming to visit and I'm so happy I got to share this neighborhood spot with them! :D

It is clean, great service and the food was delicious. We ordered the hot and sour soup, braised eggplant, Shanghai noodles, Chinese broccoli, walnut shrimp, shrimp fried rice.

It was like a sauna in there. Just sitting there made me sweaty. The xiao lung bao were so salty, like a mouthful of Dead Sea. Dan dan noodles are supposed to be al dente. "Dan" literally means "bounce". Their dan dan noodles were the consistency of Chef Boyadee or Campbell chicken noodles. So soft that you don't need to chew them.

Amazing food! Incredible service! We still talk about this place it was so good. We got dumplings and the lunch special and we're not disappointed

Family of 6 visiting Muir Redwood Monument love this place. Dumpling is very fulfilling. Their Ha Gao dumpling got double shrimps. Fried rice, walnut shrimps, salt & pepper pork chop are all very yummy. Fried tofu is also crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Ordering is easy. They would give us this electronic thingy for us to order and send the order to the kitchen directly. Would recommend this place. Hands down best of the best for the $$$.

1st time here for early lunch special. Weekday 11-3, I think. I got there @ 2:30, super quiet. Very extensive list of options, $15 = Hot & sour soup, Entree, rice and 1 Spring roll. I had the shrimp and scrambled egg and fried rice. I had them top the dish off with Oyster sauce and asked for more on the side. Portion was huge, hot and fresh. Soup was also great. Spring roll was cold, but they fixed that immediately. Egg was a little runny, but mixed with the rice and shrimp it all worked out. Lots of HUGE shrimp as well. Super nice servers, restaurant is immaculately clean. They can get pretty busy at night, usually. So great place for lunch if you are in the area. All this w/lots of leftovers for $20. I have enough food leftover for 2 more meals. I will be back and tell all my friends.

Came here on a Saturday night for dinner. We did not have to wait, but the restaurant eventually filled up and had a bit of a wait as the night went on. XLB - 4/5. I am usually not the biggest fan of XLB, but I liked theirs here. Mine was not super hot like XLB normally is; this could be a good or bad thing depending on how you like your XLB. Dry braised seasonal beans - 4/5. Solid vegetable dish, but this dish was actually quite spicy! If you can't handle spice, you should just get the garlic beans option. Pan fried pork buns - 5/5. This is my favorite dumpling over XLB, and this place does it really well. I really liked this dish. Dry fried chicken wings - 3/5. They gave a LOT of wings, which was good! The taste and the friedness on the chicken was just okay though. Other places make better versions of this dish. Beef roll - 3/5. I liked the pancake on this roll, but I did not like how the beef was a bit cold?? I would have preferred if the beef was warm too, but the vegetables inside like the cucumber were cold. Parking is street parking only. It could get difficult in that area, but people come and go in that area pretty often. Overall, a good Chinese/dumpling place in SF. Not the best, but it compares to the other "top" dumpling spots in SF.

Fantastic Mongolian beef! Great little SF spot near Pac Heights. Happy hour is 5-7pm with 30 percent off. We sat outdoor in the beautiful weather. Definitely recommend!

The place definitely hits the cozy aspect. The place was not too loud, the service was to the point but good. The custard bun was good (extremely soft), the spicy xlb was decent, and the crystal shrimp was amazing. As dumpling places in sf goes, this is definitely top 10 (maybe even top 5) overall. The only caveat is the service is a bit slow and I wish the spicy stuff was spicier :)

Amazing. Great food, fast service. Always huge portions. I really recommend their shrimp dumplings of any kind especially the fried ones but really anything they make is good. Definitely worth getting a desert dumpling with custard. Really fun aesthetic with a central display on their divider which is super cute! Great date night place!

The dumplings here are sooo good! We tried a variety of the steamed and fried dumplings and they were delicious. We got the crystal shrimp, shrimp and leek, shrimp and pea sprout, and shrimp in tofu skin. Everything was so tasty and fresh. I really couldn't pick a favorite. For dessert we got the custard buns and those were fantastic. Honestly can't wait to go back!

came here for dinner on a weekday night because it was close to an event after and honestly didn't have high expectations (thought the menu and pictures looked fairly americanized), and was pleasantly surprised to discover everything tasted really well made and authentic. the pork soup dumplings and (unpictured) pan fried pork buns were both very juicy. the pea sprouts and fish were both generous portions, the fish was also very tender and flavorful. will definitely return when I'm in the neighborhood!

Wonderful spot with decent seating inside. Excellent and attentive service. Food was fresh, the original soup dumplings were superb! Walnut prawns were decent portioned for a lunch special and the pricing was great! We will be back.

Tried this spot on a whim, and it was great! The Shanghai Fried Noodles and Sesame Chicken together are enough for 3 people or meals. Looking forward to trying some more dishes from here.

With the launch of all the dumpling crazed places in the City I am skeptical in just another dumpling place. To me Chinese Dim Sum dishes are a cheap way to enjoy my ethnic cuisine so in crazy San Francisco when this place opened up, I was a bit skeptical. Dynasty opened in late 2023 in a location that for a long time has been a really sad location for Chinese restaurants. It has a lot to overcome the stigma of that space. The dim sum is good. The pan fried fork buns are differently prepared and the chili pork dumplings were nice and spicy. Also had the har gow (Shrimp and chive dumplings) and chicken chow mein (Singapore noodles). Is the place trying to be trendy or traditional? Food is better than the cheap dim sum to go places on Clement St. Now the catch is that it is a little more expensive like these new trendy dumpling places and some of the traditional names of dishes like Har Gow are non-existent and Americanized. That said, the crowd was very Asian and family oriented which gives me hope that the place does not become too trendy. Will be back for more of this simplified Asian cuisine.

overall solid choice for good chinese food. The restaurant has plenty of indoor seating and good service. We ordered the mu shu pork and the kung pao chicken medium. Everything was tasty and fresh. For the two of us it was more than enough food.

Was really hoping for decent XLB or pan fried buns, but they were both extremely disappointing. Not only did every XLB had broke skin and leaking broth, the pan fried buns were soggy on the bottom + already getting cold. The only redeeming dish were the salt and pepper chicken wings, but even then, other places do it better. The service and interior were fine to dine in, but doesn't make up for the lack of food quality.

Had a lovely yoga class across the street at Arise, and saw that Dynasty Dumping was available. I'm so glad I swung by! I'm a huge sucker for bitter melon dishes, so I got their beef + bitter melon dish and hot & sour soup. Yes, I got a small for the soup, can you believe it? All the flavors are so flavorful & authentic, and the service is very welcoming and fast. I'll have to come back and try their dumplings!

Really good xlb and scallion pancakes also like their take on laziji bc usually the pieces are really small and get lost in the peppercorns but here the pieces are huge

True to Chinese restaurant form, Dynasty Dumpling leaves its "Grand Opening" sign up for months following the actual grand opening LOL. Gotta get maximum use outta that banner somehow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Our group of three walked in on a Saturday evening, waited around 10 mins before getting seated. Busy af. I will say that Dynasty Dumpling has some of the best service I've ever had at a dim sum joint. Super attentive, fastidiously clean, friendly...! We split these family style: EGG FLOWER SOUP (large): Yessssssss. Total comfort food. So rich & flavorful. Comes with peas, carrots, and mushroom. We devoured this immediately. SINGAPORE STYLE VERMICELLI (no meat): Kinda bland ngl. The curry powder only goes so far. Flavor may have been affected since we requested no meat in this. ORANGE CHICKEN: Just the right amount of sauce (none of that deluge of ambiguous brown sauce). Cronchy batter & tender chicken. I love :-) LEEK WITH SHRIMP DUMPLINGS: No complaints. Strong leek flavor. CHICKEN & CORN POT STICKERS: These have a lot more protein than expected. Super round, chubby little guys (this shape...). Can be a little dry but nothing you can't fix without dipping sauce. CRYSTAL SHRIMP DUMPLINGS: Har gow is a must at dim sum!! Skin is a bit thick, but did not overwhelm the shrimp. Pricey for dim sum, but SF rent is ass so whatever. Extra points for the cleanliness and friendly staff. I'll have to take my immigrant parents here to get their authenticity stamp of approval :P

We decided to stop by this spot for a casual dim sum dinner. I made a reservation on Yelp, but we didn't really need it since there were a few open tables when we arrived on a Sunday night. The place had a basic, casual vibe, nothing fancy or high-end. We ordered the crystal shrimp dumplings (har gow), original pork XLB, chicken shumai, pan-fried turnip cakes, Braised eggplant, and mango pudding with pu erh tea. The tea came out super fast in a teapot, and they refilled it when it ran low. As for the dishes, they were pretty solid overall, but nothing blew our minds. I particularly enjoyed the eggplant--it had a great flavor, and the har gow shrimp had a nice texture. Everything else was pretty standard. Service was minimal, but we didn't really need much assistance anyway. This is a solid spot if you're craving some Chinese food.

Strolled here from Marina and it was worth the uphill trek. Delicious flavors and the food was cooked well. No weird chewy chicken or rubbery shrimp. Loved all the dishes and can't wait to try more.

Came here for lunch with a friend and overall, I thought it was solid. It was lunch so we decided to get a couple of lunch dishes for just $14 each. The sesame chicken came with a good amount of chicken, it was crunchy and good for what it is. The Mapo tofu was tasty, although I think I'd go for a more protein heavy dish for the lunch special. Each of the lunch specials came with an egg roll and fried rice. The rice didn't taste super fresh and was pretty dry. It was supposed to come with soup, but they didn't give us any. For the dim sum dishes, we got the har gow, pork XLBs, and potstickers. I liked the har gow the best, but pretty pricey for 4pcs. The XLB was only $9.95, which is a great deal. However they didn't have much soup in them. Tasty but wanted more soup inside the dumpling. Our service was a little weird, I was finished eating but my friend wasn't. And they basically took her plate away as she was still eating to pack it to go. Pretty awkward, and actually hilarious in the moment lol not something I've experienced but no biggie Not a bad option if you are looking for a quick lunch in an area with not a ton of Asian food options.

Best Chinese food I've ever had in my entire life! Amazing prices, clean, great service. My local favorite!

I visited this place last summer for takeout. Their service is quick and easy. The food was some of the most delicious I've had, especially since I ate it almost an hour or more after purchasing since I wanted to eat it at home. I remember the shrimp toast being delicious, especially with the sauce provided. Next time I'm in SF I would definitely make an effort to get more food from them.

We went for the first time a month ago and were pleasantly surprised with how good the food is we ended up going back 2 more times since We haven't tried that many dumplings yet but I liked the steamed shrimp + leek one a lot; I think it's better than the boiled shrimp leek dumplings. My fave dish so far is the Szechuan spicy boiled fish fillet! This one is good cuz the broth is drinkable it's not too oily and it's a good level of spice I love Chinese salt + pepper anything, so one time we got the squid, but the cool one to try is the turnip cake! Got it twice cuz we haven't had it like that anywhere else. Also highly recommend the marinated cucumber appetizer! It's the best side to have in between all the other dishes. We shared some w/ friends and they really liked the lamb with ginger and onion & the walnut shrimp! Honestly feel like you can't go wrong with anything you get from here!!

Went there 3 days ago and had 26 dishes. Food was delicious, service was excellent and it was a beautiful day. Highlight dishes of the day were the KFC style Chicken, Pan Fried juicy XLB Buns, XLB huge golf ball juicy, Cucumber Salad, Chow Fun & Chow Mein, Westlake Soup & Hot & Sour Soup all delicious! My neighborhood to go anyone of the day..
