Very helpful service and the food was alright. The salmon avocado fried rice and the salt and pepper fried chicken are the must get! Of course, prices were expensive. $16-20 for 4 special soup dumplings??? read more

Stopped by one night to check out this 'new' dumpling spot, food was alright until the soup dumplings arrived. Staff was friendly and nice but service was slow and careless. Tables and chairs are not kept clean enough in between. Sat on two dirty tables, table stayed dirty the whole meal even when it was already mentioned. The crab xlb had none to minimal crab flavor. The dumpling's skin is too thick and the meat's quality overall was not fresh with an off-putting taste. The hot and sour soup dumpling was good, great flavor and consistency. The dried-fried beans had great flavor but the quality of the beans were old, grainy & tough. Scallion pancake and the fried buns were decent. read more

I took a group of 7 here for a Sunday lunch and it was great. Huge selection of dishes, superior dumplings and solid service. We had dumplings, rice and noodle dishes and they were all great. The eggplant was a surprise hit. Delicious. read more

Tasty food, nice decor and ambiance, friendly service, extensive menu. This may be the new go-to Chinese place for my family. We really liked the string beans, garlic noodles, chili oil wontons, scallion pancakes, and panda custard buns. The salt and pepper chicken wings were almost too big! read more

Had a delightful dinner here. They have a huge variety of dumplings and a strong vegan/vegetarian menu. The beef pho soup dumplings were incredible - never seen that before. Their beef mala bao were also creative and great. Service was slow and not very attentive (our table was in front of the restaurant).", although it was a busy night. Overall would come again! read more

Clean decor and seemingly nice enough staff but the food was only ok. Ordered the ha gow, shu mai, soup dumplings, wontons in chili oil and beef chow fun. Everything but the wontons were lacking in flavor. It was just too subtle of a flavor. More salt was needed and I'm Chinese. I don't like things too salty so that's saying a lot. The beef chow fun had a lot of bean sprouts but not enough noodles. The beef was also pretty flavorless. The wontons were the best because they had the most flavor but it was pretty mild. Soup dumplings had thick skin and minimal amount of soup. Although I did see them making them in the back so at least it's made in house. Finally, they charge 3% for credit cards. Didn't see that until we got the bill. Don't love that. read more

Dumpling King - Credit card charge - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Overall decent but double check your order. I placed an order with the person at the register and ordered five all non-meat items to go (or so I thought) one onion pancake to eat there to test out as a benchmarker (not for me-I prefer a more egg crispy, less corn starchy pancake), I took his recommendation of the black sesame which was good as it was cute. It was all good. How a pork bao ended up on my order is unbeknownst to me. I'm not a 100% vegetarian but I don't eat most meats in the US so I was grossed out to realize I had ingested something foreign to my stomach and did not have a pleasant time digesting my meal. Thankfully I only had one bun out of the six and the manager agreed to refund the item over the phone "as a one time courtesy" lol I certainly hope that doesn't happen again! I would've definitely caught the mistake had the order been repeated back like most places do. I should've known when my card didn't go through the first time. "rejection IS redirection" I get it now! read more

A decent choice with good food, but nothing special to me. Maybe that's my fault for going to a place called Dumpling King and not getting dumplings but a lot of the dishes tasted like things I could either get somewhere else, or get a better version of somewhere else. My favourite was the cumin lamb, which is a dish I always enjoy. But I found it had too little lamb and was a little too salty. The garlic noodles had great texture, but was too light on the garlic. The taro puffs were unfortunately, just bland. With that said, the service was fantastic and the restaurant was clean. But in a city filled with countless Dumpling X restaurants, this starts to blend into the crowd for me. read more

You HAVE to try this place! Stumbled upon this restaurant while looking for Chinese food. Turns out, they had just opened that week. We ordered the sweet and sour pork, salt and pepper fish, and chicken fried rice. Everything was tasty. We saw other tables ordering buns and dumplings, which looked soooo good. If I lived in the neighborhood, I would be a regular. Restaurant itself is clean and vibrant. Service is very quick. The chili oil on the table has a good amount of spice. Highly recommend! read more

Dumplings for everyone. They have lunch specials too, but we liked their Dumplings and potstickers and every dish we had was good. We liked the garlic green beans. They weren't very greasy and the beans were fresh. The crunchy potstickers were a hit. My friends were confused about the lemon iced tea bear. I kept pushing the ice under so the bear would melt. I think it's a marketing thing for kids and girls. Hot and sour soup was meh. We wouldn't get this again. Also the noodles were spicy for the noodle soup and the pork inside was fatty, so we would skip this too. Stick with the dumplings and you'll do fine. Everything was hot and fresh and the staff seemed friendly. You can watch them making the Dumplings from scratch at the back. read more

The food was so amazing. The service was great, friendly staff. We were seated very fast on a Saturday evening. Everything inside was clean and neat. Will for sure come back read more

I was so excited to eat dumplings but some of the dishes were lacking :( we got the zhajiang noodles, xlb, pan fried soup buns and salt and pepper squid. The noodles were our favorite dish and so flavorful! The noodle texture was nice and Al dente. The xlb was alright, skins a bit thick. The pan friend buns were full of soup but the bottom could've been crispier. Tasted a bit stale. The salt and pepper squid was the most disappointing bc it was basically flavorless. I love salt and pepper seasoning but it seemed like the completely forgot the seasoning bc I could not taste it at all. We had to dip the squid in the noodle sauce for flavor lol. Service was good and food came out fast! read more

Great variety of soup dumplings. Solid dim sum with Korean flair. Order from menu or QR code. Very trippy digital art one wall. Service could have been more attentive. Had to ask for soy sauce, missing tea cup etc -- but they just opened this location would certainly go again! read more

Came here today to have lunch with my kids since we have to wait for our car to be done with Toyota. The foods wasn't bad at all but when I asked for a small box to go and the check I didn't expect there was going to be a surprise in the box. I shaked the container and I noticed a little black thing fell out onto my pants. I looked down just to see there was a small roach so I grabbed a napkin to kill it and called the waitress so she can see it. All she said was sorry and walked away. It's a young roach so there's gotta be more in the back. Really disappointed to see that. Will definitely reported it to the health department. read more

Stumbled upon this new spot and decided to give it a try and I'm glad we did! The interior is newly renovated and has a friendly vibe. We were seated right away and ordered the soup dumplings, zhajiang mian, and string beans. Everything was pretty good but the zhajiang mian was definitely the highlight! The noodles were perfectly chewy and full of flavor! Would definitely come back to try other dishes! read more

Elevated Chinese dumpling spot - heads up the steamed dumplings are Cantonese dimsum style with rice based wrappers, not wheat based. Salt and pepper tofu - surprise hit. Might be the best I've ever had. So crispy on the outside and soft and silky inside, good garlic flavor too. Dumplings - was surprised by the rice paper skin, but all tasty and beautiful Veggie buns - the buns were almost a little too soft, but appreciated the fragrant wrappers. Would skip these next time. read more

Menu is a bit confusing. It's a big menu as expected from the Clement street. However things that should be appetizer are in their own meat sections etc. regardless the food is better than an average Chinese restaurant. Soup dumplings are great. I got cumin lamb and didn't disappoint. Service is not anything special, it's ok. The place did a nice job with decorating- a waterfall projected on a large wall with pretty flowers on the other side. I think with a bit more attention to the service, the feel can be elevated complementing the decor and ambience. read more

Quality/Quantity - Another great discovery! My guest over ordered as usual, lol. We got the following: T1. Juicy Pan Fried Kurobuta Pork Baos - Good, but we have had better. Bread to meat ratio was slightly off for me, too much bread. Fresh, hot off the pan with the usual warning that it is piping hot inside and has soup inside. Decent size. 06. Four Dumpling Special - "Regular" dim sum. But got a chance to see and try one of each. My least favorite, not bad, just that the other 3 dishes were better. P1. ZhaJiang Mian - The waiter gave instructions to mix before eating. And a warning that this was spicy. I felt a medium spice level, perfect for us, and it was overall very good. My second favorite of the meal. L11. Chicken Chow Fun - Generous and a good size tender chicken breast. This was the hit of the meal! Decent portions, but we are light eaters and we over ordered. It is rare that a standard dish like this can impress me, congrats! Overall the food (and service) was 5 stars. I believe the dumplings are usually made fresh at location; see pictures of the windowed station. No one was doing it today. The first 3 items above are their best sellers. Atmosphere - Small local business. New, clean, and so relaxing with the projector waterfall; see video. Also check out the two new bathrooms. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 9pm or 11pm. Metered street parking - Free residential parking if you are willing to walk. Today my guest has limited walking ability, so metered parking it was. Service - Very patient with us as we were first time customers. So I had a few questions, best sellers and why...? They also got us everything we needed. Price - $64 + tip, reasonably priced. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since March of 2025. We will be regular customers. read more

I came around 6pm on a Wednesday and the restaurant surprised me with its captivating artwork around the restaurant. The team worked quickly and swiftly and was communicative with customers. The portion of the service I was disappointed with was the food. The dumplings didn't have much flavor and the spicy dumplings were simply the normal dumplings with chili oil. Underwhelming taste, small portions, but great vibez read more

Great food. They have more than dumplings but the dumplings are truly the star of the show. Handmade in the store with super fresh ingredients. It was our first but we will be back. read more

Solid place for xiao long bao (soup dumplings) and some excellent chicken wings. Service was very good, ambiance is very casual but nice enough, rest of the food was good (my shu, beef and broccoli, calamari, green beans, two kinds of noodles, two kinds of steamed dessert buns, I forget what else we ordered, but it was a lot) but didn't stand out enough to stick in my mind - which isn't a slight, it's more that competition here is intense. 3.5 stars but not convinced to round up. read more

Came here for a late lunch at 2 pm on a weekday with my brother and his wife who were visiting from overseas and learned that the previous owner who had this restaurant under another name had to sell and hence the name change. Johnson was our server who happened to be one of the sons of the owner greeted us and we ordered 3 dishes which were very good. No changes were made in the dining area as the previous owners had it for a short time. Restroom was very clean and well stocked. Dining room ambience was the same as my previous visit and price point for 3 items, with tea and soda cane to $60 with a 20% tip. Highly recommend as a lunch or dinner spot in a casual setting. read more

New place couple months old now. Open late some nights! Needed to drown our sorrows over the Warriors loss needed a place that stays open past 9pm and here we are! Staff is friendly and welcoming. Had a craving for Tomato Beef Chow Mein and this place came through! Good serving of pan fried noodles (Hong Kong Style). Sauce was flavorful with sweetness. Lots of the veggies and beef. We also got salt and pepper fish filets and taro curry puff. Fish had light batter not oily and loved all the fixins they were tossed with. The puff were like the "woo tao" you get for dim sum but had curry inside mixed with chicken peas and carrots. I would like more curry flavor. Just saying not a negative as it did have curry flavor. This place did not disappoint and we didn't even get any dumplings. I'll be back for sure! read more

Food was ok! I feel like they are there to sell to people who don't understand Chinese food. The xlb was ok and def not the standard I was expecting for the price. There is a 3% credit card fee, that is a 0 star. Maybe include that in your menu price instead? This is just really sneaky on top of all the other dummy fees. Food was just mediocre. read more

Delicious. You will want to plan on looking for street parking if you don't live there, but should be able to find some within a few minutes. The setting is nothing special but you should be going there for the food. Service is fine, and what you would expect for an authentic dim sum restaurant. They have a fairly good selection to choose from and the prices are very reasonable. We ended up ordering Shanghai soup dumplings (Q1; delicious, very hot), BBQ pork bao (R1; delicious), egg custard bao (R6; delicious), sesame balls (T4; so good), kurobuta pork bao (T1; delicious with textural delight), and chili oil wontons (S1; so good). Definitely check this place out; worth the trip. read more

This new family owned Chinese and dim sum spot in the Richmond District did not disappoint! I came with a party of six, which meant we got to try a variety of dishes family style and everything was delicious with a lot of WOK HEI (that signature smoky, charred aroma and flavor you want in authentic Cantonese stir-fried dishes) My favorites were: - Bear iced lemon tea - SO CUTE!! - Crab roe soup dumplings - juicy and packed with flavor - Shanghainese noodles - thick and bouncy - Dried chicken wings - standout. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside!! - Walnut shrimp - lightly battered and flavorful - Egg Custard Bao - soft and fluffy, creamy custard (can't get over these cute!) The menu is extensive, the ambience welcoming and clean, and service was quick. We left so full and can't wait to be back for more. read more

Food is clean, not greasy, and it's tasty without being overpowering. So far no msg headaches for hubby. Love that the noodles and dumplings are house made... yummy. The noodles texture and taste is deliciously fresh. I happen to like their noodle soups and mu shu dishes the best. All the meats are wonderfully tender and flavorful. The only item I didnt care for was the chickpea noodles that had a very heavy layer of thick sauce. I'll stick with the broth soup noodles. Good service and very friendly. Its now my fav local neighborhood for chinese and/or Singapore place as I seldom cook at home. read more

every thing was delicious The service was excellent. I will need to return again. Good eats good vibes great people.

The the waiter brought us hot tea & water. We were happy with the service from the waiters. Ice Bear Thai ice tea: cute & not too sweet,well balance. Sesame chicken: the best I had. Orange chicken: it was alright. Chicken chow mein: good flavor didn't feel greasy. Pork buns: sweet glaze on top of the bun, with perfect amount of feelig inside. I need more! Pork bao was good too. If I had to choose one I will go with the Pork buns. Chicken bao: I am glad it wasn't gamey and sometimes it could taste like chicken soup, which it didn't, would order again. Taro bao: it's good like a mochi texture. Egg custard bao: delicious it reminded me of a bread I used to eat when I was a child. The custer inside its perfect. Sesame swirl bao: it tasted like peanut butter to me. They gave us sesame balls on the house. Thank you! read more

Came here for dinner and tried the Shanghai soup dumplings and mapo tofu. The dumplings were tasty but a bit sticky (they broke apart easily), and didn't come with any of the standard vinegar dipping sauce. The mapo tofu was flavorful with a nice numbing spice; definitely get rice on the side. Service was fast and friendly. Overall a good spot read more

Their service and food are outstanding. Moderate price menu with ample variety. I usually get westlake beef soup or wonton soup with either a chow fun dish or a general tso dish. Have never had a bad experience. Have to tell them how you like it, i.e. light sauce or no bean sprouts, etc. highly recommended and I will continue to go there. They are closed from 3pm-5pm, open for lunch and dinner read more
