this place was too good!! had made a reservation about 10 mins before we got there but still waited a good 20-30 mins so we were nervous we would be turned down since closing time was an hour away. place was small and filled. we ordered everything on our phone and was able to place more items without having to wait on a waiter/tress. everything we got was so good!! (spicy XLB, salt and pepper chicken, green beans, shrimp toast, fried wontons, regular and spicy dumplings) would recommend everything, such a good place to eat with family or friends read more

Dumpling House - Dim Sum Near Me - San Francisco, California

This restaurant is very popular. There is a wait to get in and an electronic ipad waitlist sign-up . They have soup dumplings, standard Hong Kong style Dim Sum and noodle dishes and soups. We really enjoyed the crystal shrimp and the shrimp and leek dumplings. They were absolutely delicious. The pan fried pork cabbage dumplings were beautiful, but not nearly as tasty as I am used to. My dinner companion enjoyed the corn dumplings and between going outside. The barbecue pork bao tastes microwaved packaged ones from Costco not a fan. The wine was only $6 and not so good. With tip we did spend about 100 bucks which seems a little much for the meal that we had but it was pretty good. read more

Fantastic place. All the dumplings are incredible--especially the soup ones--and the stir-fried green beans are next level. Highly recommended for kids as well as for adults. read more

I was very excited to try this place out during my SF trip. It was all over IG when I searched places to eat. We started with the cucumbers and they were tasty. Don't expect it to be cut in small pieces or consistent cuts because it looks like hey cop them quick and serve them, but they were good! I was a little disappointed with the black truffle bao since there was no taste of the truffle itself. The spicy wonton was good but I wish there was more spice to it. I still recommend them. The shrimp leek dumplings were the star for me. You're able to actually taste both in every bite. They were by far my favorite. Also, I got the juicy bao and the way they dry it at the bottom is a game changer! Be mindful as you take a bite because they are very Juicy and it can get on your clothes. Over all I would recommend it and I can't wait for my next visit read more

Hey munchkins hope you all are well. This is part 4 of the food crawl. After a long day of Bon Nene, Garden Creamery, Tartine, and Killer Queen we end with Dumpling House. We go back to my house and we go play board games and order some dumplings and scallion pancakes. I get the shrimp dumplings and they are awesome. The scallion pancakes were nice and warm as well. I do wish they were a bit more crispy but that's a very minor complaint. All in all it was excellent. A great end to the food crawl. As I ate I thought back on all my memories with "The Professor". We played a lot of board games, went to a lot of restaurants, and had many a boba. You're an amazing friend and I'm really gonna miss you. I know you're gonna kick ass with what's next and we're all rooting for you. Many thanks to house of dumplings for such a tasty end to a tasty day. read more

The stuff as shown are pretty good as they, quite tasty etc., the only draw back is the restaurant is located quite far from where I am and both the portion size and temperature of the truffle xiao long bao (XLB) could be even better than they are now. XLB portion side is smaller than expected for stomach filling purposes. Black truffle is not hot enough for my preference. I guess for consideration, the restaurant did not want unexpected customers to bite into the hot temperature sauce contained within the XLB to burn your tongue. Otherwise, the dishes below are absolutely heavenly and fix my taste buds just right. I particular like the leek shrimp dumpling, they are mouth filling and the chewy, thick dumpling skin is amazing for texture! Lots of leek and shrimps as well. No comment on service or ambiance since this is via UberEats. But their deco appeared quite tasty and practical for restaurant of this type. Enjoy your next meal there to see for yourself. read more

After a long day at SF Pride, I was craving some comfort food to warm me up since temps were starting to get chilly. I got on the waitlist and was seated as soon as I arrived. It did start to fill up more throughout the evening. To order food & drinks, scan the QR code on the table & select items; more items can be added anytime. Service was decent & staff were friendly. I did notice something a bit off. I saw staff go into the bathroom with gloves on and come out with the same gloves on. I'm hoped they changed out their gloves before prepping food again. 10/10 - Marinated Cucumber: soooooo yummy! It was the perfect amount of spicy to make it addictive. 10/10 - Garlic Green Beans: these were everything a garlic green bean should be-definitely a must order. 9/10 - Pork & Sweet Corn Dumplings: dumpling skin was silky & soft; lightly seasoned so you could really taste the pork & corn. 8/10 - Wonton w/ Chili Sauce: wontons were tender & made well; chili sauce was mostly just chili oil & not very spicy or too flavorful. 7/10 - Original XLB soup Dumplings: these were solid; nothing special, but still good enough to eat. read more

We came here by mistake as we were supposed to go to another dumpling place but boy, I'm glad we made the mistake. We were seated right away. The staff were nice and the food came out quick. We ordered multiple items to share and were not disappointed. The garlic green beans and the shrimp toasts are a must. The toasts reminds me of the Chinese donuts that my dad used to make stuffed with shrimp inside. The wonton soup was more on the bland side. I did add the soy sauce and chili sauce for more flavor. You can request for chili oil. There were no leftovers to take with us. We definitely will be back when we are in town. read more

Decent dumpling place in Castro. All the food was solid. They have plenty of seating, but they seem pretty busy with takeout and delivery pick up orders. So it seemed like everyone had to wait a few minutes to get seated. If you come on a Friday night, expect a short wait. You order from a QR code. Ambiance is okay, nothing special. read more

Incredible service and great food. We had Joanne as our server and she made our first experience here amazing. Phenomenal service, she was very informative, knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. Our favorites were the shrimp dumplings and the green beans were amazing as well. The mango pudding was incredible!! The restaurant is on the smaller side but doesn't feel small. We got a table within 20 minutes which isn't bad. We will definitely be back again because of the service we had. We aren't from here but this is the best dining experience we've had anywhere. read more

Dumpling House - Dim Sum Near Me - San Francisco, California

Saturday night at 8pm, party of 2. Immediately seated, order through a QR code at the table. Spicy XBL BBQ pork buns wontons in chili pan fried soup dumplings salt and pepper chicken wings chrysanthemum tea ($2/person with refills) i thought these tea cups were so cute and kept the heat from your hand, but the lip is curved in and kinda hard to drink from so be careful. Got their spicy xlb bc we usually put a lot of chili on it anyway, juicy and served with vinegar. crispy soup dumplings are sf dimsum staple, they always have so much soup and the crispy bottom is the perfect base to fill it up with more sauce. The chicken wings reminded me of my childhood and would order again. bbq pork bun and wontons were good but not memorable. There are so many dimsum places in sf (many with long waits lol) and everything i got here you can probs find at all the other ones too. try them all and pick your favorite. i'll probably go back here for their reliable food, easy seating, and kind service. read more

Very good dumpling. Scallion pancake not very fresh Nice service Very fast and good service read more

I would recommend ordering the soup xlb 4/5 and juicy pork bao (fried xlb) 4.5/5. Black truffle tasted similar to soup xlb 3.5/5. The BBQ baos were okay 3/5. Pork and cabbage dumpling 3/5. Order through QR code and after meal pay at the back register. The ambiance was normal. read more

Nice little neighborhood spot. I had the XLB dumplings and they were delicious. Jasmine tea came in a cute little pot, after I didn't finish it they offered to go cup, so great service too even for a busy night. Support your local small business! read more

I was led here from TikTok. I checked out the reviews and it seemed pretty decent however... first red flag there was no self serve chili oil. I'm a girly who loves a good chili oil. A saucy girl needs some extra sauce outside of the provided soy sauce and chunky sriracha. Second red flag the servers weren't attentive. They didn't refill our waters or give us spoons for our soup dumplings. They just gave us the food and left us alone. I wanted to call one over since I dropped one of my chopsticks but I got through the meal stabbing at the cucumber. Okay not to be a hater but the food was underwhelming. We got the crispy wontons, regular XLB, marinated cucumber, and the most popular- juicy pork buns. - Juicy Pork Buns- The buns are truly juicy however there wasn't anything spectacular about it. Sorta felt flavorless after eating the marinated cucumber, which also lacked flavor. - Marinated cucumber- It was decent. It tasted fresh and fairly simple. Had a slight sweet and spice to it. -Pork XLB- Same filling as the juicy pork buns. I liked that it came with the classic black vinegar... however it overpowered the XLB if I put a tad bit too much. The dough was too thick for my liking. -Crispy Wontons- It tasted like a deep fried haw caw, nothing crazy. Overall, the food was not worth all the hype. It was a 4/10 at best. We expected this mom and pop restaurant to exceed any chain restaurants. read more

Dimsum might be my favorite food in the world, so I have pretty high standards for it; Dumpling House delivered! We were impatient for our food to come out, but once it did, we loved everything we got! The wontons in chili oil were so good. The skin was a perfect texture, and the filling felt fresh and flavorful in the sauce. The spicy XLB were the right amount of spicy, and the skin was on the thicker and chewier side. The pan fried bao are probably one of my favorites in SF, with just enough contrast in chewy and crispy texture and a delicious piping hot soup. The shumai were flavorful as well. As you can see from the photos, the food was so good I only remembered to snap a picture after a couple dumplings were eaten. The ambiance is nice and calm. The service was considerate and friendly. I will definitely be frequenting this dimsum spot to try the other things on the menu! read more

My two teen kids and I enjoyed the following: * Marinated cucumber (5/5) - salty, sesame, garlicky, crunchy goodness. We couldn't stop eating these. * Vegetable pot stickers (4/5) - great texture of diced veggies, probably mushrooms and not sure what all else. Would order these again. * Spring rolls (5/5) - perfectly fried rolls of tender veggies with a nice crunch on the outside. No oily flavor or feel to them like some egg rolls get. These are very hot so be careful biting into them. * Wonton w/chili sauce (5/5) - our favorite dish. Not very spicy but perfectly seasoned sauce over tender wontons with just the right amount of pork inside. It's not a large serving but could be enough for two with other items. We shared it but probably each could have eaten an order of it... it was that good. * Xiao long bao, original (3/5) - these were decent but didn't have a lot of flavor on their own. They needed the soy/vinegar sauce for sure and a little chili paste on top. We've had better so we'd skip these next time. * Chrysanthemum tea (5/5) - my daughter is a tea connoisseur and said this was very good. read more

We did a takeout order for a LNY group gathering and loved the food.

Will definitely order from here again!! Highly recommend! read more

Visited San Francisco for the first time for the Zayn Malik concert and ate here as it was close to the venue. it was fate that led us there because this is honestly my favorite restaurant of all time and I dream about these dumplings daily. no other dumplings will ever compare. The broth is heavenly... their other items are all really great too, including their teas! service is quick and efficient and food is out in no time at all. we loved this place so much we ate it twice while visiting for 4 days. I can't wait to return to this restaurant read more

Service was good and the food was pretty good. We were up from Sacramento and wanted to eat something good. We did get a soup to share and all agreed the broth was very watered down and tasted like faucet water so that kind of ruined it for us. The dumplings we got were fresh and yummy so no complaints there. read more

We decided to head here for a late lunch and because I was craving dumplings and this 100% hit the spot! Everything came out hot and was super fresh. We ordered the siu Mai, pan fried dumplings, shrimp dumplings, spicy wontons, shrimp toast, fried chicken wings, vegetable/pork bun. Every thing was super tasty but my favorites were the spicy wontons! They were super juicy and the wonton skin was very thin and silky. It is on the pricier side and averages $2-3 more per dish than I'm used to, but it is dim sum in sf after all haha. That being said, this is probably one of my top three dumpling spots in the city (the others probably being dumpling kitchen or dumpling home). read more

Great food, ambience and service! Would come back every time I visit this city! It's family owned and operated!

Came to get a few dumplings in the Castro. Dumpling House has quite a few. It's a pretty cozy type of place. Good variety even with a small menu. The prices are okay considering the big sizes. At dinner it was time for dumplings. It's one of the many places to get these around here. There's other stuff on the menu but forget about that. Get what they're known for. It's about $8 for a serving. I suggested we get the Spinach Dumplings. These were green. Inside were black fungus, carrots, celery, corn, and water chestnuts. Quite a lot to put in these. Even though they only gave us a few, these were filling. These were soft enough to melt in mouths. For sure could come here to get more dumplings again. It's pretty affordable for a light meal. There's quite a few of these okay for vegans and vegetarians. read more

Dumpling House - Spinach Dumplings - Dim Sum Near Me - San Francisco, California

I came here on a rainy day right when they open on a weekend as it gets packed during lunch hours. The interior is cozy and cute as it has a few tables inside, but is a bit small if you have a large group (more than 4+). My friends and I ordered a few things off the list. We got pork & sweet corn dumplings, soup dumplings, deep-fried meat dumplings, bbq pork bun, pepper salt chicken wings, wonton with chili sauce, pan-fried vegetable and meat buns, and mango pudding for dessert. For the dumplings, my favorite would have to be the soup dumplings as the juice was flavorful and not too salty. The pan-fried dumplings were simply delicious with the flavors of meat and vegetables! As for the dessert, it was light on the sweetness and a mild sweet treat. I would recommend going early to try all of these! read more

So the food is made hot and is quickly prepared for you after you mobile order it and I would say that it is pretty good for the area however, there are better places to get dim sum and buns. If you are already in the Castro area, I would say this is a good spot. It's fairly priced and they have two bathrooms and the service is pretty quick. There's nothing really to rave about, but I would say the soup based dumplings are pretty solid hit the other items that are basically dim sum are fair because they were either too thick in the skin or it was just not as satisfying as other places I've been to. read more

No matter which area throughout my hometown, either in Tenderloin or even in the Castro Community, dumplings are what I must feast during lunchtime within the Lunar New Year. Dumpling House would be the best way to choose the right dim sum that benefits my life during the year of the wooden dragon. Time to jump to the lunch specials! A. Spring rolls! B. Spinach dumplings! C. Jasmine green tea (tea bag form into a cup of hot water. Spring rolls (three pieces with a sweet chili sauce) increase my likelihood of prosperity. The skin of each spring roll was crispy on the outside, with chewy veggies on the inside. Spinach dumplings increase my likelihood of wealth and luck. Seeing these four pieces were like green back dollar bills wrapping up into pouches. Thick green mochi outer layer with peanuts and scallions, splendid! Every dish I consumed, was just right, just like the TV show on a black brick wall that taught us how to make Chinese food. What more should I ask for since I chose the lunch specials? After all, there's nothing I could have on my table for takeout. Maybe I ought to ask for one next time, so I can give it to my family to share. The atmosphere in a family owned tea restaurant is a warm welcome to everyone who loves dumplings. read more
