yummy and cheap such a quick a walk from where we were staying + the buns were freaking huge

I highly recommend the Taro dumplings. I think they must be popular. Every time I randomly stop in there is only a couple left or none at all. So I asked if I could order some and was delighted they said yes. I ordered a dozen and I'm obsessed with the freshness and great flavor of the taro filling. They are very friendly. I'm so happy to have found this place! read more

Fast casual spot to grab dim sum to go. The dumplings and sticky rice were all quite good, but the steamed bun they use for the buns is way to sweet for my liking and there isn't much filling. But it's pretty cheap compared to a sit down dim sum place. Shrimp and chive dumpling: A- Pork shu mai: B+ Egg custard bun: C Chicken bun: C+ Zongzi (peanuts): A read more

Dimdoduc is the best takeout dim sum spot in the neighborhood!! I'm a huge fan of their pork siu mai, it's super meaty and delicious. I also love the lo mai gai (sticky rice in lotus leaf). Highly recommend getting their homemade chili oil as well. Come early in the morning for a better selection of items. You can also buy frozen dim sum to steam at home. It's a small place and most people order to go, but there are a few seats inside where you can eat. Service is friendly & fast, and it's relatively easy to find street parking nearby. read more

My companion and I enjoy dim sum. For lunch, he got us takeout from Dimdoduc, a spot he often visits with his family. I wanted everything we had! They operate primarily as a takeout spot. But there are a couple of seats inside as well. We chose to take out. Service was quick and efficient since you order with the staff and they pack up your food. We got Shrimp Dumpling, Pork Shui Mai, Chicken Shui Mai, Steamed Chives Dumpling, Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll, and Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf. I liked the portion sizes; they weren't too small. There was a lot of meat in each dumpling, and the wrapper wasn't stiff. I'd say my favorites were the har gow and shrimp rice noodle roll. If you're in the Outer Richmond and craving dim sum, Dimdoduc is a solid spot. There are numerous excellent dim sum spots in the area. Street parking only, as it's located off Balboa Street. read more

Dimdoduc - Shrimp Dumpling, Pork Shui Mai, Chicken Shui Mai, Steamed Chives Dumpling, and Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll - Dim Sum Near Me - San Francisco, California

Dimdoduc is my new go-to spot for takeout dim sum. The dumplings are piping hot, fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Service is fast and friendly, and while it's mainly great for takeout, there are a few tables available for indoor dining. Highly recommend--I'll definitely be back soon. read more

Can't stop saying "Chew Chow." Chiu Chow is a dumpling with meat, veg. & peanuts and really was the most delicious unique bite I had. (Not counting the Pork Bao) Walk up counter with plain and fried rice noodles etc to add to your order. I was here to try the dumplings. I got 3 of too many similar tasting items- chive & Cilantro were so similar and had a shrimp st the bottom plus got shrimp dumplings which were just shrimp. Lol. They sounded good and familiar, so that what I ordered. The girl behind the counter was so friendly and helpful. There was minimal large tables to sit & so I could eat some and figure out what I wanted. But I only had a card so had to spend $25 min. Got Frozen chicken wontons for an emergency. I have had this in my "To Try SF" for a bit- glad to check it off the list. My biggest failure not committing to 3 pork baos! Just do it! $5 for 3! *I scraped up change to get a spare to take to my husband. Fluffy and sweet and no weird bits. Just like when I was a kid. Simple Bao pleasure! If you are in the area- great Pork Bao. Grab a bunch to take to someone. read more

Still my fav place to get take out dim sum. I was lucky to be in the neighborhood on a Tuesday at 1130am so I def had choices!! I got the shrimp rice noodle and it was 11/10!!! The rice noodle is so bouncy, silky, and flavorful. It melted in my mouth! The shrimp was nicely cooked. I cannot wait to go back!! I also got the chicken feet which were standard. Id get it again when im craving it. I got the sticky rice. There was bigger pieces of meat in it and the flavor is really nice. I'd also get this again! read more

A great staple in the neighborhood. Quality: Better on Clement but for this area this is as good as it'll get in terms of options for take out Price: Seems a little steeper but not that much Variety: LOTS! Freezers with frozen dim sum so you can stock up in your freezer for later. Payment: Fee for credit card and must spend at least 25$, otherwise cash only read more

Went here because Good Luck Dim Sum is closed on Mondays. Ordered quite a bit of food in the morning and it was great! I was only sad because they didn't have the shrimp rice noodles when I came at around 9:30 in the morning. Otherwise, I really liked it. It's really warm inside FYI if you eat inside. They also sell chili oil (like ones you see at the table in the Chinese restaurants). Lastly just one tip is that there is a credit limit of $25 dollar purchase. Otherwise, I think they have a service charge if you decide to do credit. Otherwise, cash it is. read more

Was looking for dim sum near Polo Fields and this place was nearby and opened earlier than the other dim sum places within walking distance. To go only and ready food selection is limited to pretty much what they offer as frozen take home. For dumplings it's shrimp, shrimp with chive, shrimp with cilantro, pork, shumai, and taro dumplings. In the baked area, they have bbq pork bun & barbecue pork puff pastry, Fried items included egg rolls, pork with sticky rice flour, sweet sesame seed balls. They also had pork with black bean sauce over rice and steamed rice wrapped in leaf Selection was limited they didn't even have potstickers but what they did have was done very well and was very tasty and a great price dumplings were three for $3.60 to $5.50 for the pork with black bean sauce and rice along with the bbq pork buns. read more

Dimdoduc is a really convenient place to grab some dimsum in the Outer Richmond. My personal favorite is the chicken shumai, shrimp dumplings, and egg tarts. I'm personally not a fan of the baos they just aren't pillowy enough for me. The price is hard to beat (eventho they recently raised them slightly). Be aware there is a $1 charge if you don't use cash to buy more than $25 worth of food. So I always use cash unless I'm buying for a larger group. Also love their chili oil. Would not sit down and eat here but amazing for grab and go. read more

BBQ pork buns were old and had a strange texture like they had been sitting in the steamer for a long time. The siu mai also tasted reheated. Save your money and go to Chinatown or somewhere with fresher dim sum read more

On a weekday afternoon, no one else there, filled out the form and gave it to the worker (asian male, maybe 30 yrs old). He waits to take the form, sighs and rolls his eyes, then screams at me for several minutes straight nonstop. He was not speaking English, so I have no clue what he was saying, but there's no sense wasting my time here. I turned and left. I was shocked. Btw when I left I noticed they have uncovered food in bowls at the windowsill-- looks unsanitary. read more

We just moved to the neighborhood and let me tell you how excited I am to have a good dim sum spot near me!! We got a lot of different items to try and they were all a hit.

CASH ONLY and LIMITED SEATING I'm really glad there's a cheap and delish dimsum spot in Outer Richmond SF! Went here at 8am Saturday morning. Not busy at all. Small hole in the wall type spot. They even sell frozen dimsum in bags for you to take home and it's even cheaper! Ingredients seems fresh and when I mean fresh, the Pork Siu Mai didn't have that funky smell.. IYKYK fam :) They add shiitake mushrooms in their Pork Siu Mai and it's super FLAVORFUL! My favorites from here so far are: Pork steamed Bun $1.75 each Chives Dumpling 3 for $3.60 Shrimp Dumpling 3 for $3.60 Beef Rice Rolls 3 rolls for about $4.39 (I forgot the price the lady said lol) Cilantro Dumpling 3 for $3.60 : steamed with shrimp. Cilantro brings out that fresh taste. Love it! Chiu Chow 3 for $3.60 : know there's pieces of pork, radish, and nuts inside. Idk what that gooey stuff is but OMG! My favorite dimsum of them all! Juicy, flavorful and has different textures. Love it! Chicken bun was meh, would not recommend. It's just a chicken meatball and kinda dry. Metered parking and residential. Rush hour is usually busy from 3-6pm cause kids coming out of school and folks are getting off work so parking can be a little tight weekdays. Not sure weekends cause we go early. Food is always best when it's just cooked right? So go early if you can. :) eats read more

Good take away dim sum. Fresh or sold out. Quality don tat, har gow, and char Siu bao Best to grab and go. Or call ahead to make an order for later. Service is friendly.

I took a short break from work and took Bik's out to do his biz. So we were walking around the neighborhood and decided to try their "ha cheung" shrimp noodle roll. Since it was a small takeout, we took it to a nearby bench and I ate it immediately. So yummy. The noodles are not too thick, very smooth, good flavor, added a dash of their soy sauce mix only as it was pretty good by itself, and very satisfying. Definitely a nice treat for me. Don't worry, Bik's also got some doggie treats, too. read more

Great local neighborhood dim sum spot. Good thing my coworker and I got here before students from GWHS were on lunch. ***CASH ONLY*** What I ordered: -Cilantro dumplings (5/5 rating) -Har gow/Shrimp Dumplings (5/5 ratings) The dumplings were so flavorful and not bland whatsoever. They were plump, juicy, and had good amount of filling. Didoduc has a selection of sweet and savory buns, a decent dim sum selection or choose from, and a small variety of other baked goods (ie: Egg tarts) Parking is a slight bit of a pain with a mixture of meter based parking and residential based parking. I definitely would go back. read more

Came here on a Sunday morning and we had a group of 8 - so it was impressive that we all fit into the place and it was pretty quick service from the time we ordered too! Good: Quick service and a good variety! I liked the shrimp noodles the best probably and then the baked glutinous bun - the taste was very fresh and there was a lot of food available to us. I also enjoyed the egg tart and the chasu buns - very flakey and tasty. Bad: The place isn't that great for sitting down and the food isn't stellar, it's just average dimsum in my opinion. The utensils and service isn't super stellar either, so it isn't super memorable in my opinion. read more

Egg custard tart or Daan Tot. This is usually a sweet creamy custard in a flaky crust. I am going to break this down to the components. The custard has a good firm bite, and is semi creamy inside. It seems bit on the stiff side for me. The custard has no eggy taste that I usually expect... it actually have "popcorny" after taste. The entire tart is about 2.75" in diameter. The crust is flaky on first bite but is thick and chewy. read more

Dimdoduc - nice packaging - Dim Sum Near Me - San Francisco, California

I became aware of this dim sum place from a foodie blog. So I bookmarked it as a place to try. That opportunity came sooner than later on my ebike ride yesterday. It's a small footprint located on the corner of Balboa & 35th Av. Narrow door entrance. No signs posted for social distancing but staff wore face covering and service counter has a huge plexiglass partition. What I ordered: * six pineapple BBQ pork buns. Sweet & savory bun. Too much bun and not enough pork. * one order of pork siu mai - three pieces to an order. I liked the meat consistency and flavor. * one order of har gow - three pieces to an order. Good portion of shrimp with shredded bamboo shoots. Wrapper wasn't too thick. Total amount $17.30 They've got these very colorful dim sum boxes unlike the typical pink paper boxes. More of a lunchbox look. But we're on our ebikes with a tiny bag on the top of the back luggage rack. So in my broken Chinglish I asked her to bag the BBQ pork buns in bags instead. I pointed to the bikes on the sidewalk. She accommodated my request. Three to a plastic bag. That with my order of siu mai and har gow was a perfect fit in the bag. I'd come for the siu mai and har gow if I'm in the neighborhood but I'd skip the pineapple BBQ pork buns. They've got hot cooked foods and they sell frozen dim sum. Cash only. read more

The dim sum is actually quite good. But they are really set up for take out. I sat down (you can do that now) & I got my congee in a take out bowl. They had no chopsticks or tea. How can you yum cha without the cha? But I had the 叉燒腸粉 & 潮州粉果 (roast pork rice roll & Chui chow [chives and peanut pork] dumpling) and they were both pretty good (4star) for SF. Cash only if under $25 and bring your own chopsticks. Haha. BTW 點都得 Dim Do Duc is a play on words - it means "anything goes" except the dim is the same character as in "dim" sum. The proprietors are not Toy. They are from Jianmin - next door. read more

Tried this place out since it's a couple blocks from my relative's house. I ended up trying their siu mai and ciltantro shrimp dumplings. The siu mai were 3/5, a unanimous decision from me, my mom, and brother. The amount of pork to shiitake mushroom and shrimp was overwhelming. There was something missing flavorwise, but the size and texture were solid. The cilantro shrimp dumpling (5/5) tasted fresh, had a good proportion of smooth to textured filling, and the skin was nice and gelatinous. Many times with glutinous rice wrappers, the filling pulls away from the skin and falls apart. Luckily, this didn't happen. Overall, I would definitely try more stuff from here if in the area. read more

We stopped at Dimdoduc, a new dim sum restaurant, earlier today. There was a constant flow of customers but no lines yet. They have some of the basic dim sum staples like har gow and siu mai. And if you order $25 worth of food by 2/28, you get a $5 off coupon for your next visit. Super easy to do. Items range from about $1.25 to $5.75. Plus, you can order frozen things to go. We ordered the shrimp dumplings, pork siu mai, BBQ pork bun, chive dumplings, century egg congee, shrimp rice roll, and BBQ pork rice rolls. All were delicious. The skin to shrimp dumpling," and chive dumpling were a little thick. The congee needed a little bit more salt. And I absolutely love the baked pork bun. The crispy top of a pineapple bun paired with the amazing flavor of the bbq pork. The ladies there were super friendly. I would definitely come back and order more dim sum in the future read more

This place replaced Jook Time. I actually prefer Jook Time over this place. I've tried it twice. Once when they first opened, which was good. I came back a second time. The first thing I noticed was they were out of a lot of items in the morning. The dim sum was sort of meh. I didn't care for their pineapple buns either. Service was prefunctory. It was just ok. read more

I was running errands 10am in the neighborhood and found this dim sum spot. First impression was that their dim sum looks different from many places I've tried. There wasn't a lot of pieces left for certain items so the lady substituted a part of my order. Each dumpling order comes with 3 pieces. I ordered the shrimp dumpling but there was only 2 pieces left so the lady substituted an extra 2 pieces of chive shrimp dumpling yay! I ordered the pork shui mai but they had 2 pieces left so the lady added the chicken Shui Mai on top of my order. I ordered the beef noodle roll, cilantro dumpling and the rice ball. They tasted a lot different from your typical dim sum spot but they tasted GOOD !! The rice ball was okay and didn't have much flavor. My total for the entire order was under $19. The staff was friendly and helpful on making my selections. Will come again if I'm in the neighborhood read more

I drove by again today...this time I got an order of the chicken siumai, a steamed big bun, a container of pork hocks with boiled eggs....and 3 bags of their frozen chicken siumai to put in my freezer. I normally don't buy chicken siumai anywhere, but something in my head told me to get an order to try out and I am so glad I did! It was so tender and flavorful plus had a nice ginger taste with it. So glad I got the frozen bags! read more

The dim sum here is decent. Some items are good and some are hit and miss. They have a decent selection of stuff.

Surprisingly good for take-out dim sum and didn't get the MSG headache afterwards! We ordered the baked pineapple bao, along with assorted dim sum - pork sui mai, shrimp dumpling, cilantro/shrimp dumpling, steamed chives dumpling, and chiu chow dumpling. The dumpling wrappers can be a little thick but had the slippery, fresh consistency of rice noodle rolls. Generous filling to wrapper ratio. The cilantro/shrimp dumpling is my favorite one - fresh, light, and flavorful! Note that the chive dumpling is steamed, not pan-fried. The baked Pineapple bun was covered with a nice crunchy topping and filled with egg custard - served hot. Friendly service as well. Looking forward to trying the other items on their menu, including the limited selection of cooked dishes! They also have frozen dumplings and baos for purchase. read more

I was in the neighborhood. And I've been looking for a tiny dim sum place in our neighborhood. This place fits the bill. Tried their chicken siu mai - which is something I usually don't order.

This has been a corner shop I have gone to a lot growing up as it changed owners, to dimsum that was okay, to dim sum that is actually super good! My partner gets a hong kong milk tea everytime he is there. Recently he has been asking for less condensed milk which he enjoys. It normally is super fast but the other day, there was a big line and people were ordering big amounts! Must go early to get dim sum before they run out. He also noticed there was frozen dim sum which he might try next time to see if it taste just as good when it is fresh. I hope this shop stays for a long time! read more

It was a sad day when Jook Time closed so I was excited to see a grab and go dim sum place occupy the space again. I tried the shrimp dumplings, shu mai, sticky rice, shrimp noodle roll and fried sesame balls. The sesame balls and the sticky rice were my favorites. The prices are good - ranging from $1.75 - $3.75. I am looking forward to trying the jook and the baked goods on my next trip. Perfect place to swing by and grab some snacks before heading on a walk or beach. A welcome addition to the Balboa hood! read more

Steamed BBQ pork buns have a soft cloud-like fluffiness. Filling could have been a little more flavorful, but its texture is amazing and it's not too sweet. 4/5 Veggie egg rolls were cold and a little chewy. Delicious flavor however. Filling is mostly cabbage, but has notes of caramelized onion. Rich umami flavor, which is surprising considering these are veggie egg rolls. It genuinely tastes like there's meat in it. I like it. 2.5/5 The steamed chives dumplings and shrimp dumplings are absolutely amazing. Wonderfully chewy and sticky with very flavorful filling. Perfectly cooked shrimp and fresh chives. Salty and savory. these are awesome. 5/5 Mapo tofu over steamed rice is very good. The tofu is silky smooth and delicious. Lots of fresh veggies and delicious, but slightly chewy pork. 3.5/5 One major complaint... They have a $25 minimum for paying with a card. This is not only unreasonable, but it's also a legal. Restaurants are not allowed to set the minimum charge that high. It would be nice if they were a little more accommodating during a pandemic. Most people don't want to be handling cash right now. read more
