26. Corn & Chicken Dumpling / 玉米雞肉
Lawrence L.

This place is absolutely delicious! It definitely gives grandma home made dumpling vibes. You can see someone making dumplings while you're eating which confirmed what you're eating is all hand made. The chives pancake/pocket is something I've never had before and I would definitely recommend it. it's different than the classic cong you bing you're probably used to. The pocket skin was nice, airy and light and the filling was very chive forward. All the dumplings were delicious and although I would have preferred the pig ear more spicy (you can always add more chili oil yourself) I thought the pig ear was nicely cut into thin even strips. Definitely coming back again!

23. Chive Egg Prawn & Pork Dumpling / 肉三鮮
Mia H.

Not a hidden gem anymore, but Fuwa Dumpling is worth the trek to Outer Richmond. Everything tastes very clean and the dumpling skins are nice and thin. Highly recommend the chive, egg, prawn, and pork dumplings- you honestly can't go wrong with either fried or boiled. I'm also a big fan of the dried bean curd salad, which I haven't been able to find very often at dumpling restaurants in the city! It can get busy around meal times, but our server was very kind and still took her time with us.

36- P{an fried Corn & Chicken Dumplings
Harry W.

Excellent Dumplings, Friendly Service in the quiet Richmond District. Given the unassuming exterior and no-frills decor, to me, this is one of those casual eateries that we somehow sometimes either walk right by, or take for granted as a neighborhood staple, but I gotta say I loved the dumplings here whether they be steamed or pan-fried. For our first time here, we chose the following: #22 - Steamed Dumplings with Pork & Napa Cabbage filling. We really enjoyed the al-dente texture of the skin (moderate thickness) and the fresh juicy filling inside. YUM.. Perfectly seasoned and totally on point and then some. I could see ordering seconds on this. #36 - Pan Fried Dumplings with Chicken & Corn filling - simliar to the steamed dumplings, but pan fried with golden brown crust on one side. Served HOT, Pretty darn good too. Loved the gentle crunch of the skin as you bite down on it to release just a bit of juice inside. That said the #10 - Wood Ear Mushroom Salad was a bit disappointing since they still retained water from the prep. Very fresh and crisp otherwise. 2.4/5 All in all, we loved the dumplings here, and would not hesitate to return to try out the pot stickers and chive pancake next time. They looked good too!

4. Chives Pancake / 韭菜合子
KC W.

I stopped in for a quick lunch before going to a movie at the Balboa Theater and my group of 3 was able to get seated right away on a Sunday around noon. We ordered a few items to share: - Spicy thinly sliced pig ear: the pig ear was the perfect texture, and it was flavorful but wasn't spicy at all. The Chinese name has red oil in it, but my plate didn't have any chili oil residue on it (maybe they forgot?). - Chives pancake: I liked how thin this was, though the English name is a bit misleading. It's more like a chives pocket, rather than a pancake like a scallion pancake. The pancake was pan fried golden but not super crispy. - Boiled Napa cabbage and pork dumplings: these were pretty good but nothing to write home about. I wish the skin had a bit more QQ texture. - Pork xiao long bao: I'm very picky about my xlb and unfortunately this one wasn't it for me. I wish the soup was more flavorful, and the skin was thick but somehow still broke apart too easily. Service was fine - they were quick to serve food and otherwise left us alone unless we flagged them down (just the way I like it). I know dumplings are their specialty, but I ended up liking their appetizers better. It's cool that they sell their own frozen dumplings though, for those who like them. Overall, it was good value for the amount of food we got, but flavor-wise it wasn't super impressive to me and I would stick to my usual dumpling spots.

31. Wonton Soup / 雲吞湯
Michelle R.

Service was great. As soon as we entered we were greeted and given a table. The place is very clean and has a cute decor. The dumplings are made in house, I could see the ladies forming them behind the counter. Food came quickly. We had the wonton soup, the chive pancakes, and the chive n shrimp n pork dumplings. Everything was delicious!!! Chive pancakes were perfectly crispy and refreshing. The dumplings had a little broth in them and were packed with a nice amount of filling. The wonton broth was light and tasty. I had jasmine tea with my meal. The three of us split the dishes and were full after our meal. I would come again for the same meal and to try the beef soup.

24. Corn & Pork Dumpling / 玉米猪肉
John H.

Holy $&@$! I found the perfect dumpling in the bay! I can't say enough about how amazing these dumplings were and you can actually pick what's inside of them. I chose the pork and corn dumplings, and the pork had a amazing flavor with almost a ginger aftertaste.. And fears of not doing the food justice with my review I'm just gonna leave you with a picture and tell you to go there

I frequent this area for boba (purple kow naming) nestled around the sunset district, closer to ocean beach. I wanted to give this place a try since it looked like a super clean hole in the wall and boy that it was! Quick, easy sit down service with your typical hot tea (oolong is served here) so you know you're in for a delicious dumpling delight :) no frills nor out of the ordinary service from your typical dumpling spot Not pictured however but pan fried corn & chicken dumplings were divine! Mouthwatering goodness in every bite with the sweetness from the corn and the soft mellow beef! Star of the show: Special beef brisket noodle soup! You can tell that they steep their broth for hours with its deep deep umami-hearty flavors. MUST GET!!!

Food Rating: 5.83/10 Price: 9/10 Ambiance/Service: 9/10 Overall Rating: 7.94/10 Came here around 6 pm on a Friday. The restaurant was busy but not fully packed. Service was friendly and fast. Napa Cabbage & Pork Dumplings (Boiled / 14 pieces) - $13.99 Rating: (8.5/10) For the price these dumplings were pretty good. The dumpling skins had a nice chew and the filling was well-seasoned. My only gripe is that the skins were wrapped a bit too smoothly for my liking, I prefer more texture and pleating. Corn & Chicken Dumpling (Pan Fried / 12 pieces) - $14.99 Rating: (5/10) These were disappointing. When I think of pan-fried dumplings, I expect something closer to gyoza-style. While they were crispy, it seemed like oil was sprayed on and they were finished in an air fryer, which doesn't really qualify as "pan-fried" to me Dried Bean Curd Salad - $9.99 Rating: (4/10) This dish was an absolute miss. It tasted like an unclean chopping board. Overall, I'd probably skip dining in next time and just pick up their frozen dumplings, they sell them for $13.99 for 15 pieces.

Ever since they opened, this part of the neighborhood needed this new addition. Mom likes coming here, it's close to where she lives when we visit. All the dumplings are made fresh; the xiao long baos are juicy and steamy hot. The beef noodle soup makes you crave more on a cold Winter's night. In this area, it's always foggy, so soup is always fitting. Service is attentive and friendly, and that's why we keep coming back. 'Til next time ~ cheers and see you on Yelp (SYOY)!

Great northern style Chinese food here. They specialize in dumplings and cold appetizer dishes. Pork Xiao long bao: B+ Cabbage and pork pan fried dumplings: B- Beef noodle soup: B+ Bean curd stick cucumber salad: A- Sliced marinated beef: A- Fried crab cheese puff: A Fried chicken wings: A- Quality of all the food is very good. I'd recommend the soup dumplings, fried chicken wings, beef noodle soup and crab cheese puffs. Good service, very responsive.

dumplings & beef pancake
Michelle Z.

New favorite dumpling spot in SF! Everything we tried was SO GOOD. We got beef noodle soup with rice noodles, which was incredibly flavorful and had two different cuts of tender beef. Normally I'm not a huge soup person but this was soo delicious and I couldn't stop eating it. Would 100% order again! We tried two types of dumplings (one pan fried and one boiled) and both were amazing. Good filling to skin ratio, and the pan fried ones had great flavor from the oil. The fillings were also unique and both yummy in their own way. The beef pancake was great (4 is a lot) but probably wouldn't order again (I'd try the chive one next time). The chicken wings were the only thing that I thought were just ok (the five spice seasoning was too strong for me) but my boyfriend loved them. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu!! Service was also great and very quick. They are friendly and efficient. There was also tons of seating when we came for a late night dinner on a Saturday.

22. Napa Cabbage & Pork Dumpling / 白菜鮮肉  Super juicy!
Stacy T.

Such a little gem in the neighborhood. Sure, lots of places have XLB but you can taste the love and quality in each bite. Our favorite dumplings were the boiled pork and cabbage and the beef and onion. The wrappers you can tell are homemade and just the right thickness that envelop little juicy flavorful nuggets of meat filling. It's a treat and very filling. Can't wait to come and try the noodle soups which I saw a bunch of tables order. They must be in the know! In short - don't pass up this unassuming spot. If you have a craving for dumplings, it hits the spot. The service is also really sweet.

Salina T.

INCREDIBLE! quality food that is simple but executed cleanly and with lots of flavor. Each dish didn't seem overly oily and I definitely would come back. We got the Salt and Pepper chicken wings which were perfectly cooked and fried. We got the dried tofu salad, which was so so good and fried dumplings, which were fried but also still had a little bit of soup inside. Ambience is casual and service is fast. There's parking but it finishes at 6 PM so come for dinner! Taste: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5

Came by for lunch around 12:15 PM on a Wednesday and ended up waiting about 40 minutes. When we…read morearrived, the restaurant was already full, with at least three parties waiting ahead of us. I was likely part of the second round of seating. While we waited, the line behind us grew quite long, with probably around 10 parties waiting by the time we finally got inside. One thing to note is that you don't place your order until you've secured a seat. If you're dining with someone, there's a good chance you'll have to share a table with other customers or potentially sit separately, especially if you're in a group of more than two. They have tables for four and counter seating for around three people (I think). Once you get a seat, you can place your order at the kiosk. They then call your number when your food is ready for pickup. Overall, the food was good, but probably not worth waiting in line for again. Personally, as someone who prefers udon over soba and ramen, the noodles tasted similar to what I've had at other soba restaurants. However, I did love the variety on the menu compared to your typical soba spot. Most places I've been to have cold soba with standard tempura options like shrimp, pumpkin, broccoli, etc. Here they offer more unique choices, such as fish tempura with roe, scallop kakiage, shishito pepper, etc. They also have both hot and cold soba options with a variety of toppings. I ordered the hot clam soba ($25), which was good and came with a generous amount of clams. My friend got the cold tenzaru soba ($22) with fish roe and another type of tempura. The portions were generous, and I couldn't even finish my soba noodles. Unfortunately, they don't offer takeout boxes so keep that in mind. If you want to get a seat during the first round of seating, I'd recommend lining up before they open. I'm glad I got to try this place, and I can see why people are willing to wait for it. However, I probably won't be returning since the food wasn't memorable enough for me to justify the long wait.

Back in December 2018, I passed by and caught a whiff of something pleasant. There was a remarkably…read morelong line, but I decided to get in it thinking I could order quick, chow down, and be on my way. Alas! it was not to be, as I had to meet up with my group, and the line only moved in smidges. The intervening years visiting SF didn't provide me with any opportune moments to stop by. That is, until one Saturday evening August 2026 while I was walking around and by chance happened upon the same lovely scent. Although it was a few minutes before 11pm, the line to get in was closed off. Tomorrow was my last night in SF, so I made it my primary objective to dine here. Well, Sunday I was at the Chase Center till about 9:20pm where the Muni line was packed and going nowhere fast. In the spur of the moment, I ran all the way from Chase Center to Lower Nob Hill, a 2.3-mile journey, yielding to red lights and Pokémon fans. Exhausted, it was a couple minutes past 10pm when I arrived. Lo and behold, the line had not closed yet. Ordered their Signature Toripaitan ramen and was very pleased that it was ready in about two minutes. I'm not afraid to admit I literally vacuumed the contents of that bowl. Sure I was sweaty and famished, but the combination of chashu, menma, burdock root, ajitama egg, chicken broth, and every other element checked all my proverbial boxes. The waitstaff who took my order was likely aghast that I ate so violently, though she was professional and responded energetically when I showered her with thanks and praise for the meal. I also ordered a mazemen to-go for the next day's lunch, and that was a real treat. Recently, I learned that there is a location in Culver City. Heck, why wait another 8 years?

I remember the last time I was here I waited an hour in line and I still decided to come back for…read moretheir ramen a few years later! My wait this time wasn't too bad since I came on a weekday and on the earlier side. The signature toripaitan ramen featured a creamy chicken broth with al-dente, chewy mochi ramen noodles. I enjoyed both the pork and the duck meat, especially the latter with its inherent seasoning and tenderness. The mushroom pieces were tasty as well; appreciated the ratio of soup to noodles to other ingredients. I personally liked the signature over the spicy version. I very much appreciated how they keep their soup warm with a second bowl. You really can't go wrong with the enoki chips - crispy, umami, and slightly citrus-y to cut the oiliness. The line moves at a reasonable rate, given how small the space is. Probably much harder for larger parties. Every seated individual is required to order a bowl of ramen. Would come back on a weekday if I'm craving their ramen!

Granted, we came in around 9 PM, about an hour before closing, so we understood that the kitchen was getting toward the end of the night. We ordered a few dishes to share and there were actually some highlights. The scallops: These were great! Easily one of the better dishes we ordered. The karaage chicken: The chicken itself had great flavor, but the creamy sauce on top was extremely rich and ended up overpowering the chicken. I think with less sauce, this could have been a really good dish. Now, the ramen: This is where I was genuinely left speechless. I don't think I've ever had ramen with absolutely no umami. Like, none. It was one of the strangest things I've ever tasted. I was biting into something, there were textures in my mouth, it smelled great... but that was it. No depth. No richness. No umami. The broth, meat, and even the noodles somehow had almost no flavor. The only thing that really came through was the greasy chili oil that lingered on your tongue afterward. After a couple of bites, we looked at each other and decided to leave. At that point, most of the food was still sitting on the table practically untouched. Maybe we caught the kitchen on an off night, especially coming in later in the evening. The scallops showed us that there's definitely potential here, but unfortunately, the ramen was such a miss that it overshadowed the rest of the meal for us.
