Dumpling Home - San Francisco (CA)

5 /5 Alexica Qian: Steamed dumplings (Xiao long bao) are amazing. We ordered one spicy and one squash/shrimp. Pan fired dumplings are not the best in Bay Area, I’ll give a 4. A localized dumpling place in general. Good vibe and atmosphere.

1 /5 Ziling Mai: Honestly, I was disappointed, especially for a spot on the Michelin Guide. We tried the xiao long bao, dan dan noodles, green onion pancake, and pork baos. The xiao long bao were just okay mid at best and honestly, other places around San Francisco do them better. The dan dan noodles tasted more like peanut sauce with noodles; I wouldn’t order them again. The green onion pancake was the worst, so undercooked it was basically raw dough. The pork baos were better, the filling was decent but the breading was so thick it felt almost like hard candy. Overall, I expected much more from a Michelin-recognized spot.

5 /5 Charles Reynolds: The food was absolutely delicious and came out super fast. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The beer was really good too! It does get a little loud since the place stays busy, but that just shows how popular it is. You might not linger long, but every bite is worth it. I really enjoyed my visit!

5 /5 Jean Tsou: Soupy Xiao Long Bao is very yummy! Pan fried buns are juicy too. Overall food quality and services are both good!
