Came on a Friday lunch, pretty empty! Jian Bing was delicious with pork and beef! They added extra chips for extra crunchiness. Cut in half, there was like 4 pieces!! My favorite of the meal. Pig ear was standard, cut thin and spicy! Noodles were also standard, the vegetarian gluten and mushroom was good. Wish there was more mushroom! Service was fast and good. A little bit of tight seating but hey, it is the sunset. read more

I enjoyed our meal at mini potstickers but may not come back unless I'm specifically craving jianbing. Mini potstickers is a cute local shop that I first learned about when I was looking for jianbing spots! I was a bit surprised to see how pricy the jianbing was here since it's typically a street food and slightly cheaper. However when I saw the size of the thing I understood. It's HUGE. When cut it half, it makes 4 total pieces, and honestly you only need just one of those pieces, so when I came with a party of 2, we had leftovers to take home. The jianbing at home didn't taste as good as fresh because of the crispy parts. I wish I could just pay less for one fourth of the full thing. But the fresh taste was very good!!! We also tried some potstickers given the namesake. I'd say the were quite good and homey, but nothing out of the ordinary. We came on a Sunday morning and had no wait. Wait staff is a bit busy there but they will take care of you :) read more

*** U P D A T E *** This would be our 2nd time trying Mini Potstickers, but this time we opted to sit inside the restaurant rather than take it to-go. It's a small spot with about 6-8 tables inside, so you may or may not get a table quickly. Luckily, we were able to grab one without waiting on a weeknight around 6:30 pm. *** O U R P I C K S *** MINI POTSTICKERS ~ (12) bite-sized potstickers with juicy pork filling with tasty broth inside. Yum! 5/5 SHANGHAI-STYLE STEAMED XIAO LONG BAO ~ (6) thin, tender wrappers filled with soup and pork. Very good! 5/5 CHINESE BURRITO ~ crispy crepe filled with your choice of meat (sausage, chicken, shredded pork, beef) We chose 2 helpings of shredded pork not knowing it was dried pork floss. We've seen them prepare this at the front window and didn't want hot dog or deli meat. If I come back in the future, I'd try adding beef with shredded pork. It was pretty dry with just pork floss, but we were able to reheat this in the air fryer for a few minutes to get a crispy exterior. 3.5/5 Happy to say our 2nd time trying this spot was much better than the 1st. Their dumplings are definitely solid choices! I'd have to come back to try other things on the menu to really get the full experience. read more

Mini Potstickers - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

We had Mini Potstickers on our list for a good reason, and the reviews were absolutely right. The mini potstickers were the perfect bite-sized dumplings--flavorful, juicy, and finished with a satisfying crispy bottom. The filling of pork and chives was incredibly flavorful and well-seasoned. The only small criticism is that the dumpling wrapper was a bit thick; a thinner dough would have made them even better. I'd also love to see even more of that classic cornstarch lace and extra crunch on the bottom. The real surprise, however, was the siu mai. It completely stole the show. It was incredibly juicy and packed with flavor, with wood ear mushrooms and shiitake adding great texture and depth. The pork tasted clean and well-seasoned, without any of the strong "porky" or gamey flavor you sometimes get. Easily the best siu mai I've ever had. A must-order is the shrimp soup to go with your dumplings. It's the perfect pairing and rounds out the meal beautifully. Service was fast and genuinely friendly, and the tea was excellent as well. The restaurant is small, with about 10 tables, so expect it to fill up around lunchtime. If you're in the area, it's absolutely worth the visit. We'll definitely be back. read more

We got a jian bing to go, and it was huge. Definitely share with someone. The pancake had a nice chewy texture, but we didn't like how they used deli meat instead of traditional braised beef. We also got a soy milk and it was lukewarm and didn't have sweetness nor soy flavor. Quick service for to-go despite the long line + limited space, so props to the staff. read more

Mini Potstickers has been my go to for delicious potstickers and authentic Chinese burritos :) The mini potstickers were packed with favor and juice that I wished I had order two instead of one. For the Chinese burritos, I loved how it's made to order! Service was relatively fast- heads up, there was a 30 minutes wait for the burrito. read more

Somehow food in mini size makes things more fun and tasty! Stopped by here to pick up a dozen mini potstickers on a Saturday afternoon. It was busy with a few parties waiting outside but I was easily able to make a to-go order without a line. It took about 10-15 minutes for the order to be ready, so we just sat on the tables outside. The dumplings were delicious! Since we only got a dozen, I wasn't expecting to be full, but I was satisfied with the amount. The dumplings are nicely juicy without being too soggy. I'd come back here again for another order. read more

Mini Potstickers - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Yum! This spot is always busy, but the service is pretty fast and efficient. I think the mini potstickers (mini pan fried pork buns) are the best item on the menu, which makes sense given the restaurant's name! They are super crispy, packed with flavor, and filled with soup inside. They are basically mini sheng jian bao. My other favorite is the chinese burrito/pancake. I like getting it with pork floss. It is huge and easily shareable for 2-4 people since they cut it into smaller pieces. Sichuan hot and spicy dumplings are also good. XLB here is just okay in my opinion. I would focus on their more unique specialties instead. Overall, a great spot to check out and definitely worth trying! read more

The restaurant was already open before 10:00am so we stopped by to try 3 items. The Chinese burrito was crispy, delicious, and a generous portion. The Sichuan dan dan noodles were okay. My favorite was the pork dumplings which had a nice chewy dumpling skin. It's a small place, and service was friendly & efficient. It was easy to find street parking nearby when we got there in the morning. read more

This is literally one of my favorite spots to visit whenever I'm in SF visiting relatives! I always get the Chinese burrito and the Sichuan spicy wontons. The Chinese burrito comes with two, and they're a pretty good size, so it's very filling! Both are really delicious. My husband always gets the hot chicken flavor, which is also really good, but it's a little too spicy for me. There are indoor seatings but it's not a lot and the staff are very friendly. I highly recommend checking this place out, especially on weekdays when it's less busy, or coming between lunch and dinner hours. The wait can be pretty long ever since someone shared this place on TikTok and it blew up. Parking is also hard to find, as always around this area, so keep that in mind! Overall, definitely worth a visit if you're craving something delicious and unique. read more

My friend and her mom did the ordering and got mini potstickers, Xiao long bao, braised beef noodles, and the celery & mushroom salad for me to try as part of a large pick up order for their family of 5 who live walking distance from the restaurant. The staff were gracious and had our order ready earlier than we expected. By the time we walked back to my friend's house and she got food ready for her kids & mom, the potstickers had lost their crispiness and the XLB were too cold for me to fully enjoy (I like my food very hot). The flavors of both dishes were good (especially with me adding the chili oil to my food, as my friend's family doesn't eat anything spicy) and I liked the noodles' tasty broth and the freshness of the veggies in the salad. I agree with other Yelpers who said that the potstickers & XLB might not be the best options for takeout. I will return with my partner (who also likes spicy food) to dine in so we can get fresh crispy potstickers and spicy XLB while they're hot! read more

Got 1 order of Mini Potstickers, came with 12 pieces $13.99 w/o tax It was yummy, nice pop of flavor, not a 5/5 because wrapper could be thinner. The potstickers were coated in oil. I like the amount of green onions included along with black sesame seeds. The line is a little confusing. You go inside to place your takeout order through an iPad, however it is the same line for people dining in. There were a few parties that put their name in for seating but stood in line so there was bit of congestion. Management should remind people to wait outside until their name is called. Street parking only, if you get lucky there are metered spots in front or residential street parking around the corner. Would come back if I'm in the area and wanted a fried potsticker fix read more

My sister discovered this place through Facebook. She sent me a video of Chef Melissa King recommending Mini Potstickers, so of course, I wanted to try this place. We sampled a variety of dishes, including the mini potstickers, which are mini pan fried pork buns with actual soup inside. They're so small and cute, but very tasty! We also tried the cucumber salad, green onion pancake, lotus root mix, mushroom and fish dumplings, Sichuan hot and spicy dumplings, xiao long baos, and the braised beef noodle soup. We literally finished everything and had no leftovers! The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. The service was pretty good too. The server apologized for our long wait, which I appreciated. Overall, I highly recommend this place! read more

Mini Potstickers is a tiny place that seems to be super on trend so be prepared ride a wait. Service was nice. They try their best to get everyone served quickly. We ordered a list of items to try and I will skip to the bottom line -- everything tastes the same except to the mini potstickers, which was very flavorful and too easy to pop all 12 in your mouth without sharing. The hot chicken flavor "burrito" is also good but you need to eat this immediately, otherwise it'll get soggy. Price point is a little high for what you get so I this is more just hype: Hot Chicken Flavor $14.99 Chongqing Spicy noodle $15.99 Mini pan fried pork bun $13.99 Sichuan Dan Dan noodle $15.99 Three Flavor Dumpling(12) $11.99 Mushroom and Fish Dumpling Soup(10) $11.99 Pork - Mushroom & Shepherd's Purse Wonton (12) $12.99 read more

Great service they're always friendly. Love the beef stew noodles, xlb and minipostickers. One of my family's favorite restaurants.

ngl, I read about Mini Potstickers in SFGATE and wanted to try it out. I generally avoid Irving St since it's hard to find parking, but for dumplings, I'm willing to venture outside my comfort zone. We arrived at opening Sunday morning and they were able to accommodate our party of 10. Staff was fine and our dishes came out one after another. Family favorites were the mini potstickers, braised beef noodles and dandan noodles. The green onion pancakes were crispy and hot and the burrito a pleasant surprise. Don't forget to try everything with the chili crisp oil! It's got great flavor. read more

Pretty full restaurant when we got there at around 6:30, had to park down the corner. We got seated right away though. We ordered two Chinese burritos, Vegetarian of Wheat Gluten Mushroom noodle, pork dumplings, Wagyu Dumplings, and soymilk. The dumplings and soymilk weren't bad, would've given them around 3.5 stars. The vegetarian noodle broth was apparently not vegetarian though - so they made a vegetarian soup for us that was really bland? It definitely wasn't what we expected. We were excited for the jian bing which had a good size, but the texture and flavors weren't our favorite. It was quite soft/mushy and bland as well. Think they used chicken deli meat as well, which we wouldn't have ordered had we known. Probably wouldn't come back again. read more

When a Bay Area local Top Chef World champion annoints you as a favorite, you've got my attention. The bookmark button was quickly clicked and it was only a matter of time. For weeks, I tried to find a day after work for an early dinner. Finally the past Tuesday, I came here around 5:30 pm, finding a metered parking spot around the corner on 21st Avenue. Unsure of the restaurant location, I crossed to the north side of Irving where most restaurants are found. Only after not seeing it did not learn that it's on the south side next to the corner donut shop. Walking in, there was a couple eating on the left side of the relatively small dining room (7 tables for two, 2 tables for four). I studied the menu and pretty much knew what I wanted to try. I started with the braised beef noodle (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=-3YI9lathgyQTdlkBqbLTw); noodle pull (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=kpYmql81ISyO8mnLuTqIqA); there were 7-8 pieces of tender beef stew, tender and flavorful from the herb mix they braised them. The broth was nice with medium deep flavors while they noodles, on the thicker side meshed well with everything. I would have this again. I also tried their mini potsticker with soda combo (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=6Bp4iO6EIIu1lghmN1HilQ) of which I opted for a can of Diet Coke (not pictured). They are dim sum sized. They make their own chili sauce so do use that if you enjoy them on the spicy side along with the table provided black vinegar. The dumplings were medium juicy. I liked the generous green onions that topped this as well as the black sesame seeds. Wanting to try more of their menu, I brought an order of green onion pancake (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=DOAhy1XCmkBzjIvt5s7E6g) home. I tried one later that evening at home and enjoyed it, trying two slices as I watched TV. This was the thinner, layered version as opposed to some places that do a doughy version. Initially, it was one lady greeting incoming guests and waiting on tables but a second lady came about 30 minutes later. There was a steady flow of customers, couples and a solo diner, while I ate. There were a number of customers who ordered at the iPad just inside the doorway for takeout. I enjoyed my meal and everything was fine. After leaving and walking about a half block towards my car, I noticed that my small box of unfinished potstickers was not in my takeout bag. I went back and they found it packed with the other takeout and quickly apologized and handed it to me. I look forward to trying more items on their menu when I return. #2200. read more

Was really excited to try this place after seeing Chef Melissa King post about it on IG but i thought it was just ok. The restaurant itself is pretty small inside and there are two tiny tables outside but you have to order to-go. They have a self service kiosk for to-go orders too. We tried the mini pan fried pork buns, the beef noodle soup, and a jianbing with chicken and beef (you get to pick two meat options). The mini pork buns were pretty oily but did have a good amount of soup inside them. The beef noodle soup had a really strong star anise flavor that i personally am not a fan of but my mom liked it. The jianbing was pretty soggy and hard to eat. The chicken and beef were sort of like lunch meat slices with shredded lettuce and some hot sauce. Wouldn't order it again but if there's a next time i'd try the burrito instead read more

We came by Mini Potstickers to try their signature dish and got an order of mini potstickers and jianbing (Chinese burrito) with sausage and chicken. I also wanted the Shanghai style tofu pudding but they they were sold out for the day. The mini potstickers were yummy with a good amount of soup inside considering how small they are. It's fun to eat in one bite and I can see why this would be a great to-go snack. I do think they're on the oily side and would still prefer regular shengjianbao. The jianbing was pretty good as well - I like the thin crispy cracker layered inside for crunch and it had a good kick from the chili sauce. It felt a bit odd that the chicken they use is a thinly sliced deli meat chicken but I surprisingly liked the inclusion of lettuce and one is large enough to share between 2 people. Overall solid meal, we were full from just sharing the 2 items as they're pretty carb heavy and while it didn't quite live up to the expectations of the snack foods I love in China, it still hit the spot. We did experience couple of small mishaps like our server accidently added on an item that we then got corrected once the order slip came and we asked for no cilantro in the jianbing but still got cilantro. They're busy for sure but the service felt pretty messy even for a casual spot. read more

San Francisco resident and Top Chef alum and All-Star winner, Melissa King, popped up on my IG feed recommending this place a couple of weeks ago. I quickly bookmarked the place and on Monday, March 16th, after walking the dogs at Golden Gate Park, I decided that this would be a nice birthday treat for myself and the wifey. Of course, I had to get the Mini Potstickers (12 pieces for $12.99). I also ordered the Chinese Burrito ($13.99) and Three Flavor Dumpling (12 pieces of pork, shrimp and chives for $10.99). And yes, these three items were all featured on King's IG account. I wasn't dining in, so I ordered from their kiosk conveniently located at the main entrance. Even though it was a Monday, and almost an hour before closing time, it was still packed and busy. My anticipation for the food was slowly intensifying as I overheard a lady leaving and uttered, "That was delicious." Luckily, I was able to entertain myself by watching the auntie in front of the restaurant creating the Chinese Burritos on a crepe maker. The process was mesmerizing as she would spread the batter to make the base until it gets to the right consistency. Then she added the egg, meat, onions, cilantro, pork floss, layers of crispy wonton and some hoisin sauce to balance everything together. Yes, I was very entertained and further intensified my anticipation. Once I received them, I skipped (I imagined it in my mind skipping) to the car to show the wifey the goodies. Drove to a shaded parking (cause it was hot) and enjoyed another fine car dining experience. We started with the Chinese Burrito and boy oh boy...it did not disappoint. Nice crispy, crunchy exterior and layers and layers of delicious textures and flavors. But it was also surprisingly light yet fulfilling. Then I popped a Mini Potsticker into my mouth and this thing literally was bursting inside full of flavor. Biting into this golden piece of nugget released an explosion so magnificent and unexpected that it filled my tastebuds with joy. We're all grown adults here, get your mind out of the gutter. You were expecting me to mention something else? Yes, I was thinking it. Wink Wink. And last but not least, the Three Flavor Dumpling was also legit. The light texture with the perfect combination of pork, shrimp and chives worked harmoniously like a waltz on ice being performed by Alysa Liu. It came with some vinegar and chili oil, which just elevated the whole thing together. I felt like poppin' my collar and dancin' to LaRussell's "I'm from Da Bay" anthem. Chef Melissa King's recommendation did not disappoint as there were no misses, but all hits. And BTW...they've had that "Grand Opening" sign for 3 years and counting. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. read more

Cozy spot with a small seating area--fits about 36 inside and has 2 tables outside. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. We ordered the Kung Pao Chicken Dumplings (came in 5) -- they were okay, though I was expecting more of that classic Kung Pao flavor. Veggie dumplings were solid and enjoyable. The Xiao Ling Bao buns were tasty and a definite highlight. We also tried the Hot Chicken Flavor Pancake, which was good--packed with noodles, chicken, and other fillings. I wasn't a fan of the cabbage/leafy veggies they used, and it was a bit soggy, but the flavor was strong and overall it was a nice dish. Overall, a nice little spot with friendly staff and good food. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday and there was no wait, which made it a super easy stop. Parking was a bit tricky at first, but if you look around the nearby residential streets it's manageable. The mini sheng jian bao were the highlight -- really juicy on the inside with a nice crispy bottom. I also tried a few of their other dumplings and they were all very tasty, with good flavor and texture overall. Everything felt freshly made and consistent.

Solid dumpling spot that definitely filled the satisfaction! Will definitely come back here again for the mini pot stickers (Literally to DIE for!) it's so good that I'll be ordering from here just for this to go!! The wait is definitely worth it but on the weekends, it'll probably be a longer wait for a table as it's almost like a newer hole in the wall vibe. The only thing that barred my experience was the service; while the food was divine and delicious, we were served the wrong dishes two times and were missing an order. Part of the reasoning could be that they sat us with another party in the same table?... Eventually it got emptier later on so the other party moved. we were patient and didn't mind the mix ups but there was no assurance on their end. On to the foodie reviews.... -Mini potstickers: come here for this and this alone wowwwwwwww! Juicier than a xiao long bao, the scallion butter garnishings made for a perfect combination. -Chicken & corn dumplings Pretty tender, sweet notes from corn with the salty bouncy bite of ground chicken! -jiang bong (Chinese burrito) with pork floss, lettuce egg, chicken / sausage. Good as an appetizer but there is definitely a place on Taraval street known for pancakes and rolls like these! Good flavor profile from sweet, crunchy, nutty, and savory. -braised beef noodle soup Hearty, sweet, savory, and bouncy noodle to pair with! Pretty fair for its price point! read more

We walked by and saw some people waiting outside so we thought we would give a try even though on a full stomach! We have been looking for Jian Bing in Bay Area after trying the best one in Portland. It was a little different but still tasted good. The portion is big with lots of fillings. It takes a skilled person to eat without making a mess. They also have a similar one called Chinese Burrito. I will try it next time to see if it's easier to eat. The mini potstickers is bite size and everyone seems to order it. It's not as crispy probably because it was in a Togo container. But the flavor was good. I think it will be even better to dine in store. They have other items on menu that I would want to come back for next time! read more

Came here for a weekend lunch when Yuanbao Jiaozi was too full and was sadly disappointed with the meal. The best thing here is definitely the mini pan fried pork buns, which have a good crisp and flavor. Then it kind of was downhill from there. The wontons were so-so and the celery appetizer we got was disastrous -- it was full of clumps of salt and actually inedible. This almost never happens but had to send it back to wash the salt off to make it edible :( The shandong pancake 煎饼 was also very mushy and flavorless. I'm now convinced there's no good jianbings in SF (go to Flushing for good ones!). Probably won't be back sadly. read more

I stopped by Mini Potstickers again for a takeout order on a Friday around 5pm and it seemed pretty empty at the time. You place togo orders on the ordering pad by yourself and print out a receipt and wait for the food to get prepared - it took about 15 minutes for my order to be ready after placing. The Inside is a little cramped and dimly lit, and I waited by the doorway. I got the chinese burrito with beef and sausage and a 12 piece mini potsticker to share with a friend. The portions sizes are quite large, and honestly just half a chinese burrito is enough to be quite filling for me. The amount of protein in the chinese burrito is less than I remember, but it's still quite satisfying, with fresh crisp lettuce, the crispy chip layer provided good texture, and it was just slightly spicy - I do recall there being more hoisin sauce in it before, but I kind of preferred it this way since it used to drip a lot while eating. The mini potstickers are really panfried xiaolongbao, and these are great - nice and savory with a surprising amount of soup inside despite how small they are. It comes with a little container of chili and vinegar as well! Overall, for a little over $30, this was a great amount of food, and the quality has stayed consistent over time! Still a great go to spot for some comforting classics :) read more

Taste of homestyle for all the items we order. Beef noodle soup 10/10, the tender beef was perfect like you make them at home. Noodle texture was perfect. Broth was not too salty. Pan fried dumplings 10/10. Very unique to use steam dumplings and low fire pan fried them. It's not the standard thick bun if that's your search. This is thin skin bun. If you know what I mean. Smashed cucumber 8/10. They used cilantro, vinegar, salt to marinate, very mild yet tasty. Soup Steam dumpling 10/10. They have so much soup it was delicious. I thought the gave too little counts on this order. Still a must try. Service was the caring Asian aunty vibe. Place is small but patrons ate fast and rotation went quick.

Their mini potstickers are the star of the show! I went on a Saturday afternoon during lunch and there was a waitlist, so my friend and I waited probably 30ish minutes before being seated. While you wait, there are two tables with seats outside that you can sit at, but because there were a lot of people waiting, we just stood. You can also watch them make their dumplings through the window. We ordered the cucumber salad, pork xiao long bao, and their mini potstickers. The cucumber salad was nice and refreshing, just the right amount of vinegar! Their xlb were fine, nothing spectacular. I particularly am not a fan of places where the xlb are steamed in the aluminum tins just because the wrapper can get stuck to the side and then burst when you're trying to take them out. The mini potstickers are what me and my friend loved the most. They were soft with a slight crisp (I'm assuming they were pan fried) and the pork inside was incredibly tender and juicy. If you're going to order anything, please try the mini potstickers! I also thought that the staff was really nice. The one thing that stood out was that they noticed their customer had left their purse when they left and went to go try and find them. They didn't find the owner, but I saw them put the purse away for when the owner came back. Overall, I would visit again if I'm in the area :) read more

I am always looking for an easy potsticker dumpling location that I can pop into off 19th. I had seen pictures of the really cute dumplings that I would call "gyoza" and this place calls them mini bao. They are mini dumplings. You can see them making them fresh as you walk up. There is a digital ordering menu on the right hand wall, but that is only for to go orders. I accidentally ordered there, but was wanting to eat there so they quickly found me a table in the back, which was great & super comfortable. They offer you tea or water even though I ordered a soda plus my dumplings. The table has soy, vinegar and chili oil to add to your dumplings. There are many pictures in the back for the noodles and other things they offer and specials on the higher wall. I will definitely be back to try the noodles and get these dumplings again they arrived promptly nicely charred yet soft & delicious. These were like a mood lifter and came with fresh minced green onions or garlic chives. These people working there are very friendly and attentive. If you are nearby definitely get these to go! Such a great "late-forgot to eat lunch meal" or "can't wait for dinner meal!" I believe you can order frozen to take home. Ask! read more
