Stopped in for Dumplings with friends, and had an AMAZING meal. Every item that we ordered was delicious. The staff was friendly and service was quick. Would recommend this place to anyone, and if I'm ever in San Francisco again, I would definitely return!

We had a mid-afternoon lunch here and got a table immediately. The staff is very friendly and cheerful. For the three of us, two dumpling dishes and the dry braised green beans was plenty. There is free one hour parking on street. The beans are...fantastically flavorful, crisp and coated with salty oil--a truly magnificent classic Chinese staple, as good here as we've ever had (sometimes seen as Gan Bian String Beans). This version is not spicy like some. A local favorite well worth trying!!! Large menu with interesting noodle and vegetable and soup choices. The A1 Soup Dumplings are perfect, simple and freshly made. Love them!More

Great authentic food. Staff were accommodating since we didn't know what exactly to order. We left with full stomachs and had the most economical dinner for $38 for two. Get there early for dinner as this restaurant fills up with the locals.

We were craving for dumpling on Sunday morning and saw all the good reviews about this place. Everything we tried were delicious. Wonderful young staff. The place was packed. I would definitely go back. Only dislike was the 45-min wait. We went there at peak...Sunday noon time. One suggestion - put your name on the wait list on the phone before you go and eliminate the long wait.More

Fourteen of us spread across two tables in this fairly small and chaotic restaurant. Service a bit haphazard but a crazy busy place. Orders for a bit mixed up between the two tables but added to the fun. Excellent food, generous portions very well presented...and reasonably priced. Very enjoyable, great fun.More

The restaurant was quite busy on a Friday afternoon. The pork dumplings were pretty good; but we thought the ones with crab were odd. First, you can't tell there is crab inside. But more importantly, the broth tasted like fermented bean curd which was overpowering...and ruined the flavor. The noodles were fine, pancakes were not too tasty. Service was good, but the prices seemed high.More

It may sound funny considering our trip to Napa and Sonoma super fancy restaurants to rate the meal in the Dumpling Kitchen the best meal we had on this trip. We are not even crazy about asian food however we wanted to try Shanghai dumplings...and this place came up. Recommend it to everyone, super fresh and tasty food food.More
