To get the obvious out-of-the-way, this is not a traditional Chinese dumpling restaurant. But they have some really fun, inventive things on the menu that were quite tasty! Service is super friendly and they have a nice outdoor patio. Don't sleep on their happy hour specials! Some great menu options on there for a really good deal. Chicken bao - soft sweet bun with savory chicken inside. Tom yum XLB - these are very unique, I appreciated them, but thought it could have a stronger tom yum flavor. The wrappers were also not as elastic as I hoped and tore easily Pork dumplings - I've never seen boiled dumplings served with fennel and cherry tomatoes so this was a new presentation for me! Dumplings themselves were flavorful and had good texture
Go-to spot for a simple, casual catchup meal with friends. The Scallion noodles come with egg noodles tossed in a light soy-based sauce, topped with scallions and a friend egg. The sauce base isn't overpowering and pairs well with the XLB and dumplings. Of the Xian style dumplings, the lamb is my favorite. I've tried the pork before, but something about the filling tasted off. The dumplings are wrapped in a thick, egg-based hand kneaded dough that gives them a homemade feel. Steering clear of the pork XLB, the tom yum has an incredibly savory soup base with the eye-catching red wrappers. Couldn't quite taste the coconut broth, but was still equally rich and savory. Would definitely order this and the lamb dumplings again. My biggest hesitation about coming back is the recent price hike (between Feb/Mar and July 2026). Compared to just a few months ago: Lamb dumplings: $12.50 to $15 String beans: $10.50 to $14 Scallion noodles: $10.50 to $14 Tom Yum XLB: $16 to $17 Small increases are understandable, but nearly a 50% jump for noodles and string beans are hard to justify. The food is as expected, but with these prices, it'll be harder to choose Dumpling Time over other nearby options!
I only like certain items here: - Seafood gyoza - Beijing noodle - Trio buns Everything else is just meh. I don't like the XLB here - they don't taste that authentic and the twist with the wagyu beef and Kim chi are just for show - not that great on the flavor. So 4 stars for only the items I like. Service is westernized here. Almost never seen Chinese as servers here. Outdoor space is comfortable on a warm day.
We had fun at this restaurant, especially because there was a big TV inside showing World Cup games. There are also tables outside. The food was fun to try because of the creative mix of menu items. Very tasty. Enjoyed the food adventure. Staff are friendly & helpful. When my GPS led us to the middle of an intersection, I called the restaurant for help. The server came out to the street, gave me clear directions and landmarks & waved me over to the restaurant. Look for the awning with the patio next to BIMMA LOFT.
When we dined, it seemed like they were only seating people outside. They had a large patio with lots of plants. Service was fine, but occasionally forgetful/inattentive. We ordered the following: XLB Combo, Eggplant Bao (seared), and Chili Pork Dumplings (soup style). It was interesting trying the variety of flavors of their XLB, and while it was unique, I can't say I'd go for it again. The Pho and Tom Yum flavors in particular made me want to go have the actual soups rather than those tiny bites of dumplings. The other items were decent, but none stood out as a reason to return. While it was nice to try once, with so many dining options in SF, I don't see myself returning.
I placed a phone order and got seafood gyoza and eggplant bao (steamed). The seafood gyoza was flavorful and stuffed with shrimp. I seemed to get one scallop but it was more shrimp than anything else. I expected more from the eggplant bao. It was literally just steamed eggplant inside. I didn't taste any sauce. I wish there were some sauce or something with the eggplant. Service was pretty good.
Solid service and a fun interior space makes this a nice spot to go with a group. The wait staff was great about making sure I had everything I needed, as well as describing the dishes well. It did feel like good upscale service despite the more casual vibe of the menu and restaurant itself. I ordered scallion noodles, some Wagyu xlb, and lobster shu mai. The scallion noodles were definitely the best. The xlb was a bit too mushroom and didn't taste like beef. The lobster shu mai was solid. I wish there was a touch more salt since it did feel like it fell flat, but was still good.
Came here on a Saturday at 5PM to have an early birthday day dinner. There were lots of street parking around and we got inside quickly. We ordered a bit of everything to share and everything came out fast. It wasn't busy at all and I like that they played kpop on the tv. We got the green beans, chili pork dumplings, 10 piece xlb combo, scallion noodles, pork gyoza, shrimp fried rice and chocolate xlb. Everything was pretty good and flavorful. My favorite had to be the scallion noodles then the spicy pork dumplings and shrimp fried rice. For the XLB combo, my favorite was definitely the pho xlb and my friends really enjoyed the kimchi xlb :) The chocolate xlb was a bit hard to eat and the chocolate oozes out easily. I love how generous they are with the chocolate yum! Would definitely come back :)
The Xiao Long Bao here are very unique such as the Tom Yum, Pho, Kimchi, and Wagyu. All the Xiao Long Bao were very tasty and the broth inside was flavorful. The Pho XLB had bean sprouts, cilantro, and lime on the side to compliment the flavor of pho. The Kimchi XLB was served with a side of kimchi. The Wagyu had a piece of edible gold on top which provided an elegant presentation. The Tom Yum was my favorite as the broth was yummy and tasted like Tom Yum soup! Service was good as the employees were helpful and friendly. There is ample outdoor seating with heaters so it is a nice area to eat and enjoy the outdoors.
i was in san francisco for a one-day work trip, and once the day wrapped, we all went out to eat. i was genuinely excited to partake in dumplings because... it's san francisco. you kind of expect a moment. unfortunately, dumpling time was incredibly underwhelming. lots of bland. i understand not every meal is going to be a home run, but wow, this was aggressively average. eating on the company's dime makes it sting a little less (our ceo would absolutely hate to hear this happened, lol), but still. the shrimp toast was truly interesting and delicious. the clear standout in my mind. the wagyu truffle gyoza though... truffle who? flavor where? very much lacking, especially for something that sounds so promising. the tom kha soup dumplings were also shockingly bland, which was the most disappointing part for me. the ambiance itself was laid back, which i did appreciate. overall: sad. not terrible, just forgettable. which somehow feels worse when you're expecting something special in sf.
I was in the neighborhood so I walked around and found this place for a late lunch. They have a huge patio, which I imagine could get lively, especially with large crowds. Nice menu with photos were presented and I opted for the pickled cucumbers (crisp and refreshing w/tangy bite) & large juicy lamb dumplings, which were presented under a radish topping. Overall, a very satisfying meal and nice service. Their interior is quite large as well!
Hate to do this, but wow this place just isn't the same. Everything tasted oily with mediocre flavor. This was my first visit after a few years of being gone from the city. I hyped this place up to friends and family and left embarrassed by my own suggestion that I was initially so confident with. I always talked about dumpling time with such reminiscence when I talked about SF. I tried the pho XLB dumplings, the meat was gross - green beans and spicy pork dumplings were so oily they were barely edible. Service was decent and the food came out fast. But I don't think I can recommend this place anymore. Around COVID this was the bees knees. Huge lines. Amazing quality. No more.
Service was excellent, food meh. We got their eggplant steamed buns, more bland than I can describe. Their dumplings in what they refer to as hot spicy broth soup, is basically a chili laden oily glop of a mess--neither of us could eat that. Their shrimp scallop ones were good but very greasy. Their interior is beautiful but they keep it freezing cold. We sat on the patio behind beautiful. The prices are not great for their execution and portion sizes.
from the favorite to least: 1. bbq pork buns (toasted) 2. Beijing noodles 3. pork dumplings 4. wagyu soup dumplings 5. spring rolls food was good. service was good too. recommend getting the first two i suggested, wagyu soup dumplings were nothing special. indoor and outdoor seating, not too crowded. message me for $50 off your order we ended up paying around $30 for all this food. read more

We've been coming to this place since 2020, and it has changed a lot over the years. (I wish I could say it got better, but unfortunately it got worse.) For example, the seafood gyoza used to come with that delicious mayo-looking sauce, and not anymore. The servers were really friendly and helpful back in the day, but not anymore. We asked what happened to the sauce, and she was just like, "Not anymore." Another example, the lamb dumplings also used to come with a special sauce, and they don't have that anymore either. Honestly, we were kinda scared to even ask about it because our server didn't seem like she was having a good day. The cucumber salad also used to be a much bigger portion, but this time it was super small. Idk what happened to this place. It used to be amazing, and I really hope it goes back to how it was. We heard from some friends that it has a new owner (not sure if that's actually true), so maybe that's the reason. I'll definitely update my review after my next visit if things get better, and I do apologize for the 3-star review. read more
Walking up to a rather empty Dumpling Time around 7 p.m. on a Thursday evening caused me to remark "last time I went by this place it was packed". What a difference a few years makes. But honestly? I think I preferred the calm casualness of the setting. It was exactly what I sought that evening and I liked, too, the way that each of the dishes ordered were brought out in their own good time. That is: things here don't arrive all at once and I was good with that. Those who "know" dumplings might nitpick about authenticity or price but I thought everything I shared was delicious, authentic enough for me, and even the price seemed reasonable (made even better by their InKind participation). Green beans, pork bao, Shanghai noodles, and chicken wings were shared. Every last bit was fully consumed, and both of us really liked each dish that we tried. To spoil the experience I had to ask which dish was the least favorite and we agreed that it was the noodles, really only for the reason that they were difficult to extract from the bowl and share with two people when the sole serving utensil was chopsticks and a fork. This place, once frequently described as hipster and tech-bro central, seems like it might've been left in the dust as those crowds moved on. All the more reason to enjoy it now, which is exactly what I did. read more

Stopped in for a quick Saturday dim sum. We enjoyed a number of dishes including the Beijing noodles, green beans, BBQ pork bao, pork XLBs, har gaw, siu mai, and veggie xi'an dumplings. Everything hit the spot with the xi'an dumplings, fluffy bao, and green beans being the favorites. Service was warm and efficient. The place itself is family friendly, fairly large with many indoor and outdoor tables. Recommend stopping by if you are in the area, and craving dim sum. read more
Great casual dumpling spot! As a pescatarian I appreciate the seafood options for dumplings/xlb. For the steamed dumplings, ask for the hot and spicy option - the broth was very flavorful and great to dip some shrimp toast in. Scallion noodles were so-so and the shrimp toast was pretty average/smaller than I remember. Lobster siu mai was good! read more
This is my first time coming to the original location after visiting the Thrive City location many times. Ironically, I came here before going to an event at the Chase Center. One big difference I notice about this location was the price here was much cheaper. Variety XLB (5/5): I recommend this if you want to try a variety of the XLB. They have 10 pieces with 2 of each flavor (Tom Yum, Pho, Kimchi, OG) I really like the pho one. Potato Gyoza (4/5): This gyoza is filled with curry potatoes. I thought the potatoes had a mash potato texture. The curry part was great though. Definitely a unique try. Pork chili wontons (3/5); A bit dry for my taste. It could use some more sauce. Shrimp toast (5/5): Even though I'm allergic, this is my must get. It was crunchy and the shrimp was soft. Perfect balance! Fried rice (3/5): Simple and typical. Nothing too crazy about it. Overall, if there's no Chase center event, I'd rather go here. read more
Dumplings: There is something so magical about them that every part of the world has their own take on it. Take Russian Pelmeni or Varenniki, Polish Pierogi, Italian Gnocchi or of course, the most famous of them all, the Chinese dumplings. Dumpling Time specializes in the latter. With a vast patio and a pleasant interior area, this is a more contemporary take on the dumpling shops found in Chinatown, yet the execution is absolutely there. Ran by Kash Feng, known for several Michelin starred restaurants, this is a slight twist on traditional dumplings without deviating too heavily from tradition. Soup dumplings are served cleverly in aluminum trays to help the liquid stay in them. Some might debate if this approach is right, as there is something to the art of picking up a trayless soup dumpling without letting it spill out. But, the approach at Dumpling Time makes life easier and the dumplings are delicious. Their boiled dumplings are no worse, presenting a great balance of savory flavors and spices. People working here are conversational, kind and attentive. Thus, in a dumpling dense town like San Francisco, Dumpling time holds its own. read more
Extremely disappointed. I haven't been here in over 5 years and I used to absolutely love this place when I lived in the bay. The quality of this place went completely downhill. I personally would never come back. Their menu is really different, they don't do the legendary king xlb anymore which is a total bummer. Their dough is a lot thicker (and colorful) than it used to be. They added some non traditional flavors, that I don't think are executed well. They expanded a bit since the last time I was here, but we came for a Saturday night dinner and they had a lot of open tables. When I used to come here the wait used to be over an hour. * definitely stay away from the dumplings soup, the dumplings are not good and the hot & sour soup is not hot & sour soup... read more

I don't live in the city but I've had to come up here every day because my wife had been transferred to a hospital in San Francisco. She went through a spell of being terribly nauseaus and only certain foods could be kept down. She's a fan of dumplings so we found this place on door dash and tried it. The Wagyu XLB is one of the best things I've ever eaten. And no that's not hyperbole.Everything we had from this place was great but those specific dumplings were amazing. My wife also was a big fan. She had the vegetable dumplings and not only was able to keep it down with her nausea, but would also get it again and she is a picky eater. The worst thing we ate there is something I would descriebe as "good but I don't need it again." I won't name the item because it really wasn't bad at all, it was just outshined by everything else. I have since recommened thist o a few different doctors and nurses at her hospital and two have reported back to us that they loved it as well. In fact one nurse's wife now wants Dumpling Time at least once a week. When I die, if the Wagyu XLB is the last thing I eat, it would not be a wasted life. read more
I am a sucker for a good cucumber salad and they have one. Lots of vinegar with a touch of spicy pepper. They also have a nice bao, vegetable dumpling and chicken wings. We were seating quickly and our order taken promptly. They gave us a nice carafe of water. We like to stay hydrated! They checked on us several times to make sure we did not need anything. Everyone was very pleasant and chatty. The vibe was great also. Look forward to returning! read more

We went to dumpling time on a Friday night and was seated right away. We opted to sit outside and it was a decent space! We were happy there were heaters as it was getting cold later into the night. We order pork bao, pork and shrimp siu mai, XLB combo, lobster siu mai, and sesame balls! The sesame balls were HUGE so it can be shared by the group. These dumplings were definitely on the expensive side but the quality was still there imo. There is street parking around the block and should be relatively easy to find a spot if you're going for dinner! read more
Came here for dinner with a friend. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, with heating outside for the cold days. Our first server was nice but it was hard to get his attention. After we got our food, we had a different server who was much more attentive and even joked around with us. Now onto the food: Pork gyoza - 3.5/5 Tasted as expected Tom yum xiao long bao - 5/5 This dish surprised me with how much I enjoyed it. If you're looking for something different to the traditional xiao long bao, I highly recommend this one. Green beans - 2/5 The green beans were not cooked right and tasted like they were still raw but also looked overcooked. The flavor was a bit lacking as well. Bao trio - 4/5 The bread was spongy and the fillings were smooth. The green tea and milk bao had a subtle matcha taste while the filling was sweet. The red bean bao was my least favorite but still enjoyable and I don't really like red bean. The egg custard bun filling tasted just like the custard of a dan tat. read more
Decided to look for some warm chinese food before going to some evening events in SF and ended up trying Dumpling Time! the restaurant was super cute and modern, with a nice interior and a large patio outside with heated lamps. service was great - our waiter was very attentive. the lamb dumplings were my favorite - they were juicy and much different from your typical pork dumplings. the tom yum xlb was also a nice twist on a classic. the wood ear mushrooms were quite savory. i feel like this meal would slap after a night out. overall would recommend! read more

Yummy! I've been here maybe 5-6 times, and I've tried most everything on the menu. Pictured of my usual dishes down below. * Pork Gyoza are maybe more aptly named pan fried pork dumplings -- honestly, my favorite kind though. Dumpling Time has a fun plating style, where the gyoza are fried into one big blob then flipped over. * The Beijing Noodles have ground pork and a delicious sauce. There are a few strips of veggies -- carrots and cucumber. * I highly recommend the shrimp toast. This is unique to Dumpling Time, as far as I can tell. A little unhealthy, but so delicious. Crispy. Saucy. And tasty. Service is prompt and professional. We once got in and out in 15 minutes, because I needed to get home for a phone call. The waiter said it was the fastest "pit stop" he'd ever seen, haha! read more
Stopped in for a quick lunch during the Christmas season. Quickly got a table as so many local San Franciscans fly back to the cities they started from for Christmas. The food is still great after many years at this location and expansion to others. My wife likes it because it tastes like they use higher quality ingredients than some others. I like the variety of pan Asian favorites. Service was effective. Patio dining with street activity obscured is like you're in a private hideout. Like we've stepped into a Bangkok street food spot or something. Check it out! read more

I've been coming here for years, and it's disappointing to say this will probably be my last visit. The food is tasty, the patio is great, and the staff has always been cool and welcoming. That part hasn't changed. What has changed is the pricing, and not in a good way. It's now almost double what you'd pay for a comparable dumpling spot in the Mission District. Portions have quietly gotten smaller at the same price, while "regular" portions have increased in price. That's not inflation that's nickel-and-diming loyal customers. On top of that, there's a mandatory 6% "living wage" charge clearly stated on the menu that it does not go to the service staff. If you're going to charge more, just reflect the true prices honestly. Adding fees that don't even support the staff feels misleading and, frankly, scammy. I don't mind paying for good food. I do mind feeling taken advantage of. After years of coming here, it's time to stop. read more
Watching Sunday football and feeling lazy. Checked my In-Kind app (best kept secret) and saw I could order Dumpling Time delivered. Pork bao, waygu goyza and veggie spring rolls. Brilliant! Top quality, delicious, and totally avoided all junk food temptations. Scarfed almost everything down prior to photo ... read more
Eating in SF is always going to be more expensive because of the rent and stupid heath tax. That's the only reason it's not 5 Stars. In terms of food, the taste, freshness, and quality were excellent. I'm glad i was able to finally try it after having thus bookmarked for years! Atmosphere is great. Cocktail menu sounds good. I'll try it another time when it's girlfriends hang out night. read more

Ask the Community - Dumpling Time
Do you use MSG in your food?
MSG isn't bad for you, doesn't cause headaches, etc. It's a racist myth.…
Are you open on Saturday?
Yes-every Saturday but they don't check to see if you've been vaxed or not. Awesome food however-great place to bring a date!
Is the outdoor area heated?
Greetings, there are heaters above the tables that are along the windows, we sat there , but then asked to be moved inside for a bigger table. The Heater was working really good, our table I felt was too warm. Best to you, they have the best…
Are they asking for vaccine cards?
Not anytime since I've been there -5 times in the past 4 months.
Is it open for indoor seating ? Any way to make a reservation?
Yes indoor seating. I don't think they do reservations.
Do you take reservation?
First come first serve I believe. They have a sign up sheet at the front when it does get too busy.
Is there patio dining for lunch on Weds?
Yes, they have a large outdoor seating area that is open for lunch on Wednesdays.
Does anyone know if this place is doing outdoor seating?
As of Thursday of just last week no just a pick-up window
Still open for delivery/take out during this shelter in place?
Yes! We ordered last week and they’re posting daily on Instagram.
I like the jellyfish can you make them less salty. Like 50% less?
Don't know -ask the waiter/waitress before you order!
Is there anything on the menu that is spicy?
No, but you can ask for the spicy chili oil!
Where can I get those black and beige chairs they have? And what is that style called?
The materials are ratan, bamboo or cane. I think if you look for weaved ratan chairs you might found some.
Do they have any MSG free options? I really like Shanghai Dumpling King but they do not have anything without MSG except the green beans, which you have to special order without MSG. Thanks!
I don't think they use MSG in any of their foods.
Can i order to go?
Yes! You can order for pick up or can order delivery through Caviar. Thank you!
Do they have vegetarian or vegan options? Also, would a group of 14 people be too many and what's the average wait time on a Saturday evening? (My friends and I are making plans for prom).
They do! Not too many but what they have are GREAT! The dessert buns are a must and that's Vegetarian (The Custard one wouldn't be vegan). There're savory veggie dishes as well. Agreed with PT. 14 people will be tough, but I've seen a large table…
