OksanaJanuary 5, 2015The tastiest food! Everyone must visit this place. Took different dumplings, all of them are good. Will come back there soon. Very cheep!!!
Kristen S.July 9, 2017Great authentic xiaolongbao. Also delish: spicy lamb dumples, string bean dish, lionshead meatballs 😋👌 Fast and polite service!
XavierOctober 9, 2017Good place for refill energy after walking Sf's hills. Green beans with garlic amazing!
C BayugaAugust 30, 2023Dining here is a perennial favorite. They have eels & egg foo young. Xiao Long Bao is done well. Eggplant w/ garlic or pea shoots = worthy vegetarian fare ( pea shoots may include chicken stock).- Garry TanJuly 14, 2018Definitely our go-to. The Xiao long Bao are excellent as are the green onion pancakes and noodles of any sort.
- If you're a sucker for sweet, tender meat like I am, check out their honey beef!
The XLB's aren't quite as flavorful here as they are at their Balboa location but the place is much cleaner and the wait is not nearly as long.
- Angela WangFebruary 9, 2014Get the dumplings and pan fried pork buns but the skins are pretty thick. That indicates lack of authenticity.
Ros HodgekissNovember 30, 2014You can't go wrong with dumplings here, but the soup dumplings in particular are a thing of wonder.
Joanie McCollomSeptember 13, 2014I recommend the spicy pork and rice dumplings, which aren't that spicy.
Joshua NguyenApril 29, 2013Americanized flavors for stir frys - soup dumplings: ok flavor but not enough soup and meatballs too large and dumpling skin too thick. SF can do better than this.
Josue EvillaOctober 1, 2016Nothing fancy. Kind of a hole in the wall. But the dumplings are great. And it's insanely CHEEEEEAAAAAPP!
MikeFinSFSeptember 27, 2014OMG those were some awesome dumplings! I want to get back in my car and ho back and get more- Jason YunApril 19, 2013the xlb didn't quite live up to expectations, but man those super egg puffs are super
SharonSeptember 23, 2013Spicy wonton came w peanut butter sauce. First time for me. Prob would prefer the without version.
Bring cash unless you plan on going over $20 which is the credit card minimum.
Maia K.S.March 13, 2015A MUST when you are heading to SFO. really so delicious, the soup dumplings & pea shoots are my favorite. Also always get out of here under $20 per person extremely full and satisfied!

"A must for ice cream in SF. Toasted almond is awesome, but I honestly haven't gotten anything I didn't love. (Don't forget to grab a number when you get there.)"

"This is a smaller Safeway, but still has pretty much everything you need . . . just a little less of it."
