This is definitely one of the most underrated spots in SF for Chinese food. Can’t go wrong with anything you order here! Oh, and they have mango lassi? ?
I go here a lot. The food is consistently good and reasonably priced. I get the wonton soup and sweet and sour pork. This appears to be a family run business with dad acting as busy, but affable waiter and granny acting as cook and mom and kids helping with the ever-present take-out orders. I prefer to eat in. There is nothing fancy about the decor, but I like the simplicitude of it and the friendly service.
Huge variety of dumplings and dishes. Parking can be tricky around this area. The walnut shrimp dish was really sickly and I wouldn’t order again. And the bok choy pieces were way too big to be eaten without a knife and fork. Otherwise great food.
One of my all time favorite restaurants!! Amazing dumplings and service for an incredible price! Don’t miss out and order 2 spicy chive and pork dumplings, Shanghai (soup) dumplings, string beans, and Shanghai style noodles!
I ordered some xiao long bao and beef chow fun to go. The dumplings were good, however, the beef chow fun tasted like they added some artificial smoke flavor to it. Friendly staff and clean restaurant. I would go back to try their other menu items.
The soup dumplings are just amazing. And so many other great things on the menu! Green beans, scallion pancake, Shanghai noodles… my children were tempted to try many new things, and loved them all. The kids asked that I add “good pork buns, also good everything” to this review. :)
Soup dumplings are delicious! Thought I'd splurge a little and order the fancy version with crabs roe but to my surprise the owner friendly reminded me that the CHEAPER regular version is more delicious, which I went with in the end. Never have I experienced a restaurant owner giving up making more money for the sake of customers' good, so 4 star on food plus 1 star sincerity for you :)
Very delicious food!!! The dumplings are like little clouds of heaven. The combination fried rice was also very yummy. The staff was very welcoming.
Website says 795 for lunch special from 11:00 a.m. till 3:00 p.m. . Includes rice and soup. We tried to order online but it said unavailable. We called and placed an order and when we got it we were charged an extra $10 and we didn't get soup. The guy said the website is wrong. Don't pay attention okay? Thank you. Okay. They also closed at 2:30 which is different than the website. We asked what type of sauce or seasoning comes on the fish with vegetables or the chicken with vegetables and they couldn't really tell us. Otherwise the food tastes pretty good
We ate here on Friday, New Years Eve. Ever since Ton Kiang closed we have been searching for another place to eat Dim Sum/dumplings in the City. We saw this place on a list somewhere and decided to try it out. We ordered the spicy dumplings, spicy shrimp and chive dumplings, pea shoots in garlic sauce, chive pancake and pot stickers. We asked the nice waiter if we were missing anything good and he suggested the Shanghai dumplings and the steamed pork buns, which we added. Let me tell you, everything was AMAZING! The spicy dumplings came with different sauces, one with peanut and the other a thinner soy based sauce. Both were great, not super spicy but really good! The Shanghai dumplings were wonderful, savory and a little bit sweet. The potstickers and pork buns were really flavorful and good. The pea shoots were delicious. The chive pancake, while very good, was the weakest part of the meal (though was still devoured). Other than a light vinegar sauce that was brought out to the table nothing that wasn’t sauced in the kitchen came with any, which was sort of lacking. But since all of the food was delicious and cooked perfectly (not dry) I didn’t miss it in the moment.I’m already looking forward to going back!!!!
