Sometimes I find myself with an unusual craving for chewy, Shanghainese rice cakes. The rendition at Bund is legit. I like to add soy & chili to them to kick the flavor up a notch. WinstonWanders.com
BommyOctober 19, 2014Come here to avoid crowds at shanghai dumpling king. Fast and efficient service, xiao long bao and rice cake stir-fry are pretty tasty.
Justin SullivanNovember 23, 2015Xiao Long Bao is excellent and famous, but I'm here for the Dan Dan Noodles. Spicy pork noodle soup. Always lively, but seldom a wait, unlike Great Eastern across the street.
David RMarch 25, 2017Probably best xiao long bao in SF (they don't use tin foil). Much less touristy than other places in Chinatown.
Joe GremillionMay 22, 2014Pork in garlic sauce is excellent, said the xiao long bao, and sweet and sour soup. This is a fantastic place for near authentic food that has not been "westernized."- probably the best and the most authentic shanghainese restaurant in #SanFran ... something different & you'll like: crab & meat dumplings (real crab meat & lots) ... u can thank me later :p
Stephanie ChengSeptember 6, 2013Best 'vegetable rice' (literal translation) everrrrr! Also get the fish head soup, sweet vinegar spareribs (rough translation)! Really good stuff and at a decent price :)
Robert HMarch 26, 2013The real deal. If you want the mom and pop Chinese restaurant and stay away from the tourist crowds this is it. Bottom of the hill and away from it all. AND delicious.- Keyue BaoAugust 15, 2016Arguably the most authentic Shanghainese restaurant in the Bay. Try the spring rolls and the crab tofu.
- Chris H.January 19, 2015Very authentic Shanghainese restaurant with great xiao long bao. Also try the pork meatballs!
I cannot praise the ma po tofu enough. Please do yourself some justice and order it now. If you have an inkling for spiciness, order it with an extra spicy label.
Christine LeeNovember 18, 2014It was ok, don't think I'll go again. I went to try the Xiao Long Bao. But the skin was too thick, the meat too dense, the soup not enough. Prices are okay though.
Alex SmithFebruary 6, 2015An acclaimed New American restaurant in Fisherman's Wharf. We enjoyed Baked Chocolate Soufflé w/ Two Sauces, it's really good here... Read more
Max KJanuary 19, 2015Delicious and authentic shanghainese food. Not greasy at all. Try the lion head meatballs.
- Alex SmithFebruary 6, 2015Chinese dining on dim sum and traditional Shanghai cuisine. We enjoyed Boiled Chive & Shrimp Dumplings ($10) Read more
Adriano ChiarettaAugust 17, 2014The hot and sour soup is really hot, but extremely tasty as well. Worth trying it out.
Tim MesserschmidtNovember 17, 2014Authentic and affordable restaurant in Chinatown. Their chicken and beef dishes were amazing!- Chloe HDecember 29, 2012Hot and sour soup, crab tofu, spicy Mongolian beef and snow pea shoots so good. Awesome meal.
KarstenSeptember 16, 2014Soup dumplings (xiao long bao) are good enough to satisfy any craving, 3.5/5- xio long bao (soup dumpling) with crab and pork ◦ rice cake stir fried with crab
Heater ThompsonNovember 27, 2011Effin phenomenal! Beef broccoli, chow mein, general tso's chicken, and hot and sour soup were out of this world.
- tofu & vermicelli soup ◦ steamed vegetarian dumplings ◦ home-style spicy tofu
Linda ChanMay 19, 2011Arguably the best Xiao Long Bao (soup pork dumplings) in San Francisco. Zha Jiang Noodle
ISC ChicagoJuly 5, 2015Very authentic Shanghainese dishes; service is a bit spotty but not unpleasant
the braised pork shank is the way to go! enough for two-three people.
