Where To Go When You've Made A Mistake - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Come to this Sunset spot when you can only trust yourself to make one more decision for the day. All you have to do is pick what kind of boiled dumplings you want to eat while you sit back and remind yourself that it’s not your fault that you fell victim to one of those sophisticated telemarketers." - julia chen 1, patrick wong

Sliced beef and tripe in chili oil is really good, the garlic and spicy taste is well balanced. The fish and mushroom boiled dumplings was subtle but nice, a nice surprise since it’s not a common filling offered in other dumpling spots. Spicy beef noodle soup can feel a little under seasoned (to me) but you can add more seasonings to it yourself. The noodles are bouncy and the beef slices are good quality. Minor nit picking, their chili oil on the table can taste a little TINY bit bitter at times. Overall a great place!

Got the house special beef noodle soup, beef xlb, chicken corn dumplings in chilli oil, and napa cabbage pork dumplings. The star of the show were the noodles. Beef was tender, soup had a lot of flavor and depth, and noodles were great be cause it absorbed the soup flavor. 9/10 The beef xlb super nice and flavorful. 8/10 The dumplings dough texture was bouncy and how they were wrapped were great. It wasn't the best filling I had in comparison to other spots but a good 7/10. Would come back again for primarily the beef noodle soup

I found out about this gem because a coworker told me about it. I am so glad I came here after a work meeting for lunch. It was a delicious lunch. I got the spicy beef noodle soup with extra spice and beef and the beef,lamb and fish dumplings. It was out of this world. The service was friendly and super attentive highly recommend.

We ordered the pig ear and the cucumber salad with chili oil sauce, and ordered boiled dumplings and some dumpling soup with seaweed. The dumpling dough is very fresh and plump, while the filling is well seasoned and juicy. This was my second visit and it’s always full of local Chinese families dining in, which is a vote of confidence for authenticity and taste. Overall, the food was simple, delicious, and comforting. The bill came out to $60 including tip, it’s a great place to visit if you are craving some dumplings with your friends/family.

Dan-dan noodles were yummy (a bit too salty) with particularly strong numbing hot sauce. They were skimping on the bok choy.. we were given one piece cut in half lol AND it was overcooked/ mushy. We ordered a side of chive/ shrimp/ pork dumplings which were savory with visible chunks of shrimp meat. However, the chicken and corn dumplings were average. Next time we plan to try the soup dumplings! The staff seemed to be rushing around and was not as attentive as we liked.

Absolutely loved this dumpling place. The dumplings are freshly made, with perfectly thin wrappers and juicy, flavorful fillings. Whether steamed or in soup, each bite was delicious. The service was fast and friendly, making it a great spot for a quick and satisfying meal. Highly recommend for any dumpling lover!

The restaurant is located inside a plaza and there are a lot of parking spaces. We arrived there right after 6:00pm, and there were a few people waiting inside. After I put my name on the waitlist, we were able to get our table very quickly. We ordered the Sliced Beef & Ox Tripe in Chili Oil, Cucumber Salad, Chicken & Corn Dumpling in Chili Oil, Napa Cabbage & Pork Potstickers, Pork Xiao Long Bao, and Iced Assam Milk Tea. They served the food pretty quickly and all the staff were friendly. Those dumplings were freshly made by the chef because you could see the back with an open kitchen and watch them making all the dumplings. Dumplings and Xiao Long Bao tasted pretty good except the sliced beef and ox tripe and the drink was just ok. Highly recommended for the dumplings and Xiao Long Bao :)

My all time favorite beef noodle soup restaurant!!! This is what we call authentic beef noodle soup. Other places are all just oily. I can come back here forever, even pricing is reasonable. I love yuanbao jiaozi!!!

I'm almost afraid to write this but I don't have any followers so it'll be okay. I don't want to NOT be able to get a table, and I don't want to have them run out of DAN DAN noodles ever again! I got an order of regular spicy and I could NOT stop eating them! The best noodle bowl I have EVER had! Also the dumplings, any dumpling that says chive - get those! Pork, Shrimp Egg Chive? Yes X 100. Vegetarian with Chive? Yes X 1000. My only complaint (but not really) is that I tried to order Dan Dan to go and they ran out! But that just means I have to go back and take more people I can't stop thinking about this meal and I don't want anyone to read this so they get so busy I can't go have dinner when I want. But you can go and get take out - I'll allow that

Ordered the pork, shrimp, chives boiled dumpling and it didn't have much meat or flavor. It wasn't until the end when I was texting my friend about the dumplings that I remembered I ordered a shrimp one, cause I sure didn't taste that either . Skin was nice and thin. Meat portion small and not much flavor. I even took out a meat from the skin and ate that by itself to try to taste some goodness from it... And not much... Skip. Meh.

BUGS IN FOOD!! Came here on Sunday AM and ordered a bowl of the beef noodle soup. Took my left overs home in the store provided soup container, and ate it the next day. Got half through my meal until I realized what I thought was pepper, had LEGS?!!!!! Started with a few that I fished out and put onto a napkin, but then I saw more and immediately inside the bowl. DISGUSTING!!! So sad because I love their soup, but don't love it as much anymore... it says a lot if in my single bowl of soup that there were at least 5 bugs, how many more were in the remainder of the soup I ate on Sunday

Pretty good dumpling spot! I forgot to take pictures but I also tried three types of soup dumplings: beef, pork, and pork and crab. My favorite was still the classic pork, but all of them were good. While the flavor was nice, I feel like it could've been more soupy. I also really enjoyed the pork and cabbage dumplings in chili oil which had plenty of yummy filling and a deliciously fragrant sauce to cover. The dan dan noodles and spicy beef noodles were delicious too! Although everything labeled "spicy" here is very very mild. When we arrived on a Friday around 12:30 PM, it was absolutely packed with a line forming. The one guy seating people seemed extremely stressed and was running back and forth cursing under his breath lol. We were seated after about 20 minutes, and our food came out quickly after we ordered. The restaurant has lots of seating and gets fully packed, which is super impressive and telling! People love this place!

The first good sign was that this restaurant was full at 8pm on a Sunday night. The next good sign was being able to see the kitchen from the seating area. We ordered the pork and cabbage pot stickers, the rice and short rib plate, and the beef noodle soup. The pot stickers were great - juicy and succulent. The soup was also good, with tender beef, chewy noodles and a flavorful broth. The rib plate was also tender but not outstanding. I do think the dishes are pricey. Considering that we ordered from a QR code, service was minimal. There are other establishments in the area that offer great dumplings with a more extensive menu at more competitive prices. A solid choice, but the peninsula is full of solid dumpling/noodle restaurants. Does it stand out? Not sure!

Pretty busy on a Thursday evening around 8pm but my party of 3 was seated right away. We shared the special mix salad, napa cabbage pork dumplings, braised spareribs noodle soup, corn chicken potstickers, pork shrimp chive dumplings in chili oil, and dan dan w/ bean paste noodles. Overall everything was pretty good and I especially liked the thickness and chewiness level of the noodle dishes. I did think the braised spareribs in the noodle soup could've been more tender, and thought the napa cabbage pork dumplings and corn chicken potstickers could've used a bit more flavor. Dan dan w/ bean paste noodles were also a bit too oily. Would still come back because the food was really comforting!

A place with great dumplings at an affordable price, perfect place if you just want a quick bite and some Asian comfort food. There was a short wait when we got there at around 6:30, but things moved quick and food came out fast. Their soup dumplings are really good and their noodles were a decent size and well seasoned

We been coming here for some time now. We really enjoy the pork Xiao long Bao they are truly delicious! We recommend 100%!!!! Very tasty , we always have 3-4 orders of those! They are great! Today we tried their dumplings soup , very plain not much flavor in it . We ordered steamed pork dumplings and chilli oil pork dumplings. Don't recommend ordering the chilli dumplings, 8 come in an order but if you order the regular steamed ones you can just add the chilli oil yourself since it's on the table. Service is fast and easy ! Restaurant is nice, you can have conversations , enjoy your lunch/dinner . Bathrooms are clean and their tables and restaurant is usually clean they have great staff.

If you think everything in the Bay Area Is pricey, I found a gem where you can get Dumpling for less than a dollar each. You can also get a big bowl of noodle without breaking your wallet. Yuanbao jiaozi is a popular dumpling spot in Irving san fransisco and they have a new location in Burlingame, with more seats and parking spots! Marinated beef ($11.99) Shredded pig ear chili oil ($10.99) Shredded potato salad ($7.99) Beef noodle soup ($15.99) Dandan noodle ($12.99) Lamb carrot xlb ($13.99) Napa cabbage pork dumpling in chili oil ($12.99) Pork shrimp chive egg dumpling ($13.99) Pork shrimp potstickers ($15.99) You can skip on the chili oil dumplings but I highly recommend the beef noodle soup and their dumplings! Their dumplings are wrapped fresh by the 阿姨 when you order, and have the perfect chewy skin with great meat to skin ratio, and so juicy! Their beef noodle soup also hits so warm and comforting, with QQ noodle texture, tender beef, and savory broth. Although the dumplings are homemade, the service is very quick!

Yuanbao Jiaozi is offers high quality authentic Chinese food at a reasonable price point in the Bay. We ordered two of their house special beef noodle soups because they were so good! The pork dumplings are a classic, and my personal favorite has to be the dumplings in chili oil. The savory and sweet flavor of the chili oil works so well, and I like the skin of the dumplings the most this way. Potstickers were also really good and had a decent amount of filling within them. Service is decent, you can just flag down a server if you want to order more. They offer both digital and in person ordering. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants real Chinese food on the Peninsula.

Husband and I always love getting takeout from their SF location, but we LOVE visiting this location for fresh, piping hot dumplings and XLB. The staff here are incredibly attentive, service is amazing, and tables are well spaced out. We recommend this spot all the time and make any excuse to come.

It's been almost a year since we've been here and the menus have changed a bit but they are generally still offering the same dishes. Service is alway fast and great here. Restaurant interior were clean and comfy. We got the pickled cabbage beef soup again and it really hit the spot this time. The soup base was so delicious with great depth of flavor and pickled mustard greens. The beef was soft and tasty and the noodles were perfect chewy al dente. My daughter liked it so much she ate up almost all the noodle. We also got the xiao long bao and the shiitake chicken dumpling. Xiao long bao was very tasty and well made and I enjoyed those very much. The chicken shiitake dumpling were well made too and the skin was delicious and cooked will. However i'm just not a fan of chicken and shiitake filling. It definitely didn't have as good flavor as pork or shrimp filling. I will probably go with another type next time. As always we had a great meal and will be back again if we are in the area

Not sure why this place is so highly rated and why it's so full all the time, but I thought the food was really mid. We got the braised spareribs over rice, beef noodle soup, and some soup dumplings. The soup dumplings were yummy, but the rice and noodles were pretty bad. The spare ribs were dry, and the beef noodle soup was super bland. Would recommend just sticking to their dumplings!

Great place to enjoy a comforting meal! Whenever I come here, I always get the Pickled Chinese Cabbage Beef Noodle Soup (can choose spicy or non-spicy) and some dumplings or xiao long bao. One cool thing about this restaurant is the fact that you can see the chefs in the back preparing the dumplings through a large glass window. It is quite mesmerizing to see how efficiently and neatly they form the dumplings by hand. The Pickled Chinese Cabbage Beef Noodle Soup has a rich broth, generous amount of beef, and a distinct pickled cabbage that complements the rich noodle soup very well. For dumplings, we usually get the Chicken & Corn dumpling. You can choose to get 14 dumplings without soup or 12 dumplings with soup. If you get it with soup, it comes topped with some seaweed and scallions. Sometimes I like getting the soup option especially on cold rainy days, when I want something to warm me up. The interior is very spacious with plenty of seating and I rarely have to wait to get seated. It is clean and service is friendly and efficient. Plus parking is easy because the restaurant is located in a plaza.

I visited Yuanbao Jiaozi in Burlingame, CA on Monday, 2/24/25, around 7:30 PM. In terms of the food, I tried the following: 1) House Special Beef Noodle Soup 2) Pork, Shrimp, Chive & Egg Dumpling 3) Pork, Shrimp, Chive & Egg Dumpling in Chili Oil All of the dishes were extremely tasty and palatable. If I had to pick a favorite, it was the House Special Beef Noodle Soup. The broth was just dynamite! What stood out to me was that I saw the chefs prepare the fresh dumplings from the kitchen. The staff members were super attentive and beyond friendly. The restaurant was modern, clean, and nicely decorated. Overall, my dining experience was pleasantly enjoyable. From the food, service, and ambiance, it was spectacular. I highly recommend coming to this restaurant.

Brought kids one night. It is situated right next to Lunardi. Place is very clean with see through kitchen. We got a seaweed appetizer, shrimp dumplings, pork cabbage dumplings and a soup dumplings. Seaweed was pretty decent and fresh. Love my shrimp dumplings. Shrimps are super tender. Pork cabbage is nicely flavored. Soup dumplings are okay too. Kids loved it. All food is super authentic. Dumplings came with plenty of stuffings. Service was pretty fast and friendly. Like this place and we have ordered takeout from here a few times and it never disappoints.

We eaten her so many times and recently got take out for CNY. I recommend you come early as the place usually gets packed over the weekend, there are usually people waiting before the restaurant opens. They turn tables around really quickly though! Service is always just ok, but it's a fast paced restaurant. The interior is spacious and usually really clean. The food is delicious. The mixed salad was a stand out, the sauce is amazing. All of their dumplings are pretty good, my partner especially like the one with fish. The skin for their dumplings are a lot better than other places. The beef noodles was just ok, and the same with the Dan Dan noodles. I would skip out on the spicy beef/tendon slices next time, it was just too greasy.

A very nice comfortable delicious quick dinner. You can watch the ladies prepare the dumplings behind the clear windows. The space is very open and very clean atmosphere. We went to dinner with grandson and he knew how to scan code at the table and order food. We could probably have figured it out eventually but would have taken us old folks longer to order! Yuanbao delivers an authentic flavorful dumpling. We started with Lotus Root salad; very crunchy thinly sliced lotus root with very tasty good seasoning. I enjoyed the lotus root salad because it was different. Then we had Dandan Noodles which was also very good. Ordered two different dumplings; corn and chicken dumpling an napa cabbage and pork dumpling in chili oil. Every order was very good. We would come back and try other entrees. Turns out we can also eat at Yuanbao in San Francisco which is very close to home. The Burlingame Yuanbao was new, clean, cozy and the tables filled up by the time we finished eating. Gonna go try the one in San Francisco on Irving St. next.

Chinese dumpling place in Burlingame. Must be popular because we ran into my sister's ex colleague who drove from Cupertino for their dumplings with his parents. You order off a QR code from the table but they have menus at the table. The pork and cabbage dumplings were very good. I liked the tofu stick skin appetizer but my sister says their pig ear appetizer is better. We liked their pickled cabbage beef noodle soup but wish there was a better soup to noodle ratio. There was more noodle than soup. The restaurant is clean and very new looking on the inside. They sell frozen dumplings next to the register in the front. There are specials where you can buy gift certificates and get a certain amount for free but you have to buy them before you redeem them. I overheard the employee telling the man buying frozen dumplings before he rung us up. You can't use the gift certificates with the bonus on the same day you buy them.

So yummy! My boyfriend and I came in on a Saturday night, it was packed but we got sat immediately. It was bustling inside! We ordered 3 dishes and each dish had its own unique flavors and was an overall great meal! The braised spareribs noodle soup was light but seasoned perfectly for my taste buds, my boyfriend also really enjoyed it. The meat fell off the bones making it easy to eat! The pork xiaolongbaos were solid! They were juicy and flavorful, always love ordering xiaolongbaos! The special mix salad was vinegary and spicy. A perfect way to start off the meal. For me, I thought the vinegar was a little too strong so I washed it in the noodle soup and that made it better!

We came here on a rainy day, parking was pretty easy to find. We got seated pretty easily and service was quick. You order through a QR code. It was nicely decorated. This isn't the fault of the restaurant, but there was a toddler screaming the entire time we were there. We ordered the dan dan noodles, xiao long bao, potstickers, and dumplings in chili oil. We were so impressed by the dan dan noodles that we wound up ordering another one! This was enough food for the 4 of us! Nothing was too spicy, they also have some extra chili oil which helped bring a bit of a kick but not too much heat. Dumplings were yummy but nothing to write home about. Heard some of the servers speaking Cantonese, which was nice! Would probably come back and get more dan dan noodles!

This has become our go-to place for beef noodle soup! I think we order it at least 2-3x per month. It's quick, convenient, and so satisfying! Our typical order: - Special mixed salad - Cucumber salad - Dumplings in chili oil - House special beef noodle soup I usually get the noodles mild or non-spicy, since you can always add more spicy sauce to taste. Once in a while we mix it up and get the sliced pig ear or pretty much any of the corn dumplings.

When you're in the mood for the most traditional and tasty dumplings, this is the place. I love how cozy and low key this place is! Not too busy on a Friday night but still hustling and bustling. The kitchen is full of workers working on hand making the dumplings fresh for each order. I've had the beef/lamb/fish dumplings, Napa and pork chili dumplings, pork XLB, and house beef noodle soup. Everything is extremely fresh and I enjoyed the texture of the dumpling skin and noodles.

My friend and I decided to have a quick lunch here as soon as we landed in San Francisco. We got here at around 12:40PM on a Friday afternoon and we were seated right away. There is a QR code at every table -- you can view the menu and put in your order this way. It's ok if you don't want to either. I believe you can flag down any of the servers and they can put in the order for you as well. My friend and I decided to share: Tofu Skin Stick Salad - this was really good! The sauce was spicy, sweet, and savory. It was a great combo and super refreshing. Pork Xiao Long Bao - probably not the best xiao long baos that I've had but they are pretty decent. They were filled with soup and came out piping hot. Might be a bit light on the flavor but tasted great with vinegar nonetheless. Pickled Chinese Cabbage Beef Noodle Soup - out of the three items that we ordered, this was my least favorite. The soup was a bit on the bland side and was fish based rather than beef based. The beef itself was pretty good and tender. I think the beef noodle soup might be a better choice. Overall, decent food. Not sure if I'd be back to be honest but if I lived in the area, I would definitely go back to try the dumplings.

I was excited to see a new location for Yuanbao Jiaozi! Compared to the one in SF, this one is so much more spacious and I also feel like this one has more variety! We tried a couple of our favorites like the beef noodle soup and potato salad as well as some new plates like the beef/lamb/fish dumplings and the beef XLB. Everything was pretty tasty! We ordered 11 dishes for 7 people and it was just enough without any leftovers.

They have a wide variety of northern Chinese cuisine, from their namesake dumplings, to noodle soups, and each dish was good! The restaurant is very bright and clean, and turnover is quite quick so you won't have to wait for long! The dishes also didn't take too long to arrive which was nice. We got the pickled cabbage beef noodle soup which was very good. The dumplings were good, and the xialongbao too, except that they weren't as juicy as expected. Still good though! Overall, food was solid, but not anything too exceptional.

My partner and I are huge fans of soup dumplings, so whenever we find a restaurant that serves them, we make a point to try it out. Recently, we had the pleasure of dining at Yuanbao, and their soup dumplings were a standout experience. The dumpling wrappers are delicate yet perfectly sturdy, a testament to the skill and care that goes into their preparation. They hand-make pretty much everything on their menu, from the dumpling wrappers to the noodles, and you can taste the difference that freshness and quality ingredients make. The soup inside the dumplings was nothing short of amazing--rich, umami, and bursting with flavor. Along with the soup dumplings, everything else we tried was equally delicious and thoughtfully prepared. We're already looking forward to our next visit, eager to explore more of Yuanbao's handmade offerings!

One of my favorite spots in the peninsula for dumplings! The pork soup dumplings are great--steaming hot, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The hot & spicy beef tendon is another standout, with the perfect balance of mala spice and tenderness. Don't miss out on the fish dumplings -- they're a delightful surprise, my current favorite! Service is impressively fast and efficient, even during the weekend rush. The place is clean and love the see-through kitchen where you can watch the magic happen. If you're looking for fresh, flavorful dumplings and quick service, this place is a must-visit.

Yuanbao Jiaozi needs more locations -- it is TOO GOOD! Their boiled dumplings are delicious; the fillings are flavorful and the dumpling skins are very well done. You can see them making the dumplings in the restaurant. Service was fine; people bustling around and checking in on you periodically. You place your orders through a QR code app. It's always packed when we go, but we never have to wait too long for a table. Can get a little loud inside but not too badly. Their chili oil dumpling/wonton is not like what we were craving (we wanted the Din Tai Fung version): it's not spicy at all. Still good, but doesn't hold a candle to the DTF version. We hope they'll improve this item. Otherwise, everything was so good. Get the tofu skin appetizer too!

Paper waitlist but it moves QUICK. Order on your phone using a QR code. Everything comes in a reasonable amount of time. Pork xiao long bao was more flavorful compared to traditional spots but not much soup inside. Other dumplings were delish!!

Good food, spacious interior. You can see the cooks preparing all the dough through a glass window. Fun times all around. My fav thing about it was the ability to order dumplings in broth. The broth kept the dumplings piping hot and it was fun to sip the broth with the dumplings. I hate when you order dumplings and they get cold quickly. I wouldn't say I was blown away by anything in particular so 4/5 stars seems appropriate

A solid noodle soup spot if you're in the Burlingame area. It's a large restaurant but gets pretty busy on the weekends/evenings. The good news is everything comes out super quick. Scan your QR code and submit the order and voila, the food arrives quickly Ended up sharing the beef noodle soup, which was "light" compared to other beef noodle soups, but definitely hit the spot. The "spicy" part of the order looks like they add some chili oil for you, so don't be afraid if you decide to go this route. Also got the bean stick salad, which was super flavorful and better than I expected it to be. Solid spot if you're craving noodle soup and in the area.

Absolutely delicious, fresh and full of flavor. I wish we had something like this back in Hawaii with these prices too! I have gone to the SF branch then I found out there was one in millbrae!! They offer different things as well as the same dishes. This place is bigger and less packed than the SF one. The people are all friendly and the tables are big and spacious. The food is impeccable as always and I just realized this is one of my favorite places to eat dumplings or soups.

Solid noodle spot. The space is large, and though the restaurant was busy, we were able to secure a table without a wait. Several of my friends have recommended their city location, but I recently discovered they also have one on the peninsula, so I was pleased! Everything tasted fresh and clean. We ordered the cucumber salad, beef broth noodle soup (less spicy), and the pan fried dumplings, and each dish was great. I'd say the broth has a more muted flavor compared to Ox 9's. I prefer Ox 9's wonton dumplings over the pan-fried ones we ordered here, but that's likely just personal preference. The portion sizes were reasonable as well. I can see myself craving this again, but I'm curious whether I'd prefer Ox 9 instead. We'll have to see!

A great place for a quick bite on a chilly day. We all ordered the braised beef noodle soup. The sliced noodles were fresh and chewy but you'll have to eat fast before it gets soggy from soaking in the soup too long. The beef was tender and the soup flavorful.

"I like this place a lot!" I tell my cousin. She laughs and says, "you like all the places you've been to in the last few days!" It's true, I haven't found a place I haven't liked yet as I continue my search for the best dumplings in the bay area. But, I REALLY like THIS place. Lol. Yuanbao Jiaozi is a casual, rather new, neighborhood place in a strip mall with tons of convenient and free parking...the first two reasons I really like it. It's convenient and easily accessible. The more important reason I like it is the food. Comfort Taiwanese cuisine. Delicious dumplings: jiaozi, xiaolingbao, potstickers. And just as delicious side dishes. My favorite being the shredded tofu skin seasoned with chili and sesame oil. Have yet to try everything. Will sure to be back to work my way through that menu ! And a bonus reason to like this place, they carry one of my favorite non-alcoholic drinks the Chi Forest brand: lychee soda, white peach, and grape! Thanks SF Yelper Mike C for putting this place on the map for me! Thank you Anthony and Elaine for the delicious dinner and even better company!

Everything was tasty and juicy, except the zhajiangmian which we needed to add soy sauce to it. It surprisingly didn't have much sauce and it was mostly oil and some ground meat. Service was fast and friendly. Will definitely come back for more dumplings and beef noodles!

Wow! I am amazed. I feel like Yuanbao Jiaozi tastes so much better than Din Tai Fung. I got the beef noodle soup & shared the pork xia long bao. Both were absolutely delicious. I'd definitely be back!

Had one of the best meals in recent memory here - much larger location than the SF spot. Many tables indoors, roomy, and clean. Everything we ordered was freshly made and served piping hot. Very reasonable prices with no line. Hidden gem for sure, definitely get the shiitake and sole fish dumpling if you like fish. This location also has XLBs and a much larger menu than the SF one.

Hidden gem for authentic delicious Chinese food on the way to/from the airport! Clean and modern with a view of the busy kitchen. We stopped by before driving to the East Bay and it was great! Juicy, bursting with flavors, flavorful sauces! Worth stopping by.

Came around 7:30 PM on a weekday and no wait. Quick service and you order online. Food came out quick. My favorite is the zucchini shrimp egg dumpling as it's light but so good. Really comforting dish and pretty huge portion with 12 pieces. Xiao long bao was ok not the best but still good. Great place to stop by for comfort food and parking is very easy. You can also buy their dumplings frozen too which I'll try next time!

Located in a plaza with plenty of parking. Large interior with plenty of seating and a see-through window into the kitchen where you can see them making the food. You order through a QR code on your phone. Our orders came out quickly and service was friendly and attentive! - Pickled cabbage spicy beef noodle soup was very flavorful, decently spicy with lots of chili oil on top. Noodles were chewy consistency. Plenty of beef chunks. - Pork, shrimp, chive and egg dumplings (regular) were very good, with a little soup still inside. I loved the dumpling skin because it was super chewy and slightly thick! Would highly recommend! - I don't personally like tendon so I can't attest to it, but my boyfriend really liked their spicy beef tendon Generous portion for price point, good flavors, overall great service and seating. Highly recommend!

Great spot for dumplings! Some of my favorites are the fish and mushroom , chive egg and shrimp, and napa pork. I would skip the noodles and the wontons. Service is always fast and the dumplings served piping hot.

This is my favorite dumpling restaurant in the outer sunset area! Their dumplings are hand wrapped and you can watch the aunties wrap them. They have amazing food and fast service for cheap prices. It's definitely casual but if you just want a quick, homey meal with no fuss this is your place. My favorite is the shrimp, pork, chive, egg dumpling.

I was excited to try this new place because I absolutely love dumplings of any kind! The staff was great and friendly. There were a lot of people as most of the tables were full! What did bug me after I ordered were the flies- it may have just entered as people kept going in and out and I sat near the door! I was vigilant trying to keep the flies off the food! We ordered the braised pork ribs over rice. It was ok, but it was pretty bland and very dry. Broccoli was just boiled or steamed and no taste like American style broccoli. My mom who knows her Chinese food even said I never tasted spareribs like this before " no taste" she said! So 2.5. It was a hot day so we didn't order any of the noodle soups. We ordered XL bao Shanghai dumplings which were good 3.0. The potstickers we ordered were ok. Thick wrappers and not too crispy on the bottom like a soft crispy if that makes sense. It was kind of bland too. So 2.5. I was kind of disappointed because I had high hopes and who doesn't like fresh made dumplings?! It just did not hit quite right mainly bc it just had no taste. We were dousing hot chile oil to everything to give it some taste at least! Overall, 2.66 rounded up to 2.7. There is room for improvement! I wish the menu had more of a selection too.

I've been watching this restaurant for a while and finally had time to go with a friend. Ordering is done via QR code, which makes things more efficient. F O O D For two people, the total cost came out to ~$55-60. - Pigs ears were thinly sliced (nice!!), but the flavor had too much vinegar for my taste buds. - The tripe was super tasty, we'd get this again. - Dan dan noodles were also delicious. We'd get this again. - Cabbage and pork dumplings were also a hit. We'd get this again. S E R V I C E Service was on point. They checked in on us at appropriate intervals and even gave me ice to fill up my water bottle. We saw some business meetings, but mostly people coming in to casually eat on a weekday.
