We stopped in for a quick bite. All dishes were amazing! We had the giant bao, it was filled with ground chicken in Malaysian curry (best dish of the day). Next we had shrimp sui mai, scallop/shrimp dumpling, seafood kim chee fried rice, beef kim chee potstickers, Wasabi sticky rice pie filled with mixed meat/veggies on the bottom and coconut bunnies.
I had been craving baoxi for a while so this hit the spot. I also ordered the coconut bunnies and was pleasantly surprised.Pros:Service was relatively quickOutdoor seatingYou get FOUR coconut bunniesI don’t usually like jellies but this was pretty goodSpecial buns gives a variety of everythingSpicy oil hits the spot ?Lovely presentation of foodNeutral:I’m not sure if the price is high, normal, or lowCons:Some weird people pass you on the street
ATMOSPHERE AND SERVICE:It's really fun to watch them fold the dumplings behind a glass window. You know it's fresh when you can see them making them right there. Indoor seating area was clean and well decorated, and outdoor seating had a nice parklet that was raised to sidewalk level (so you don't have to feel like you step down into the street). Was a nice warm SF evening to eat outside. Once you hand in your order sheet, food comes out really fast. Service was quite fast.FOOD:Xiao long bao (4 out of 5): Decently good but standard xiao long bao. I've had better that were softer and chewier, but still quite good.Baked BBQ pork bun (4.5 out of 5): I love bbq pork buns. Had a good BBQ pork flavor, and the outer bun had a slight sweet crust to it.Baked wasabi sticky rice (4 out of 5): Rice topped with a rich creamy sauce. I didn't taste too much wasabi, it was quite subtle.
Stumbled on this hidden gem of a dim sum spot in the Mission and loved it. It was very authentic. The shrimp and chive pan fried dumpling was especially tasty. The xiao long bao was good but not the best I’ve had in the city. I recommend the har gow and other dumplings as well.
Refined dim sum items with a wealth of vegetarian options. Highly recommend the salt and pepper veggie (kind of like a Hong King’s take on tempura) and pan fried veggie pot stickers. Cozy interior. We ordered tieguanyin tea which was quality whole leaf tea but to match their style it would be better if they don’t serve tea in teabags and also increase the amount of tea leaves so that the tea will be stronger.

Good food. Some dumplings were a bit greasy and some buns had too much dough. It was quick service and definitely hit the spot if I were in the mission looking for dim sum
Overall the food was decent 4/5. Service was unfortunately subpar - not very attentive. It’s fine not a big deal, we still got our food quickly.Pleasantly surprised by the baos actually! They had a ton of filling! They didn’t skimp on that. Love that.The fried shrimp dumpling and kimchi pan fried dumplings were just ok. I’d suggest getting other dishes.The menu is limited to baos and dumplings so if you’re looking for chang fun or radish cakes they won’t have that here.We went on a sat at 12 and there wasn’t a wait so although there’s no reservations, the wait isn’t long.
My third time here and every time the food has been amazing! They have fresh made-to-order dim sum all day including other dishes I have yet to try but I will, eventually ? I thought my favorite dessert was the egg tart and then I tried the custard-filled bao. I'm now torn ?
Bao was delicious! I love the creative way they made the dessert coconut bunny’s. The service was alright, but the dumplings were great.
