Alex Bradley: Fantastic dimsum, defintely try the Shanghai Pork Dumplings. x2 the price of anything else, but you get more of them and they are fantastic. Down in one go from the spoon with some vinegar and ginger
Laura C: Authentic Dim Sum with every dumpling you can imagine. The restaurant's capacity doubles on the weekends, but weekdays are definitely the best time for a meal, for a full menu and half the crowd.
Yuko: Best dim sum restaurant in SF. I like Shanghai Dumpling, Shrimp Dumpling, Pork Sui Mye, Peking Duck, Lettuce Cup, and Coconut Cream Roll. Tsingtao Beer or chinese tea are good match for dim sum.

Lily Feng: Get the shanghai steamed soup dumplings and the beijing dumplings. Wasted trip if you don't get those. Trust me.
Lan: Must order: steamed pork dumplings (xiao long bao), pan fried pork bun, wontons in chili oil
Andrew Choi: Shanghai-style pork soup dumplings, pan-fried potstickers, and the garlic bok choy are all yummy. And the hot chili oil makes everything better.

Luke Bornheimer: The garlic green beans and soup dumplings are amazing; Two must-orders! Also had the onion pancake and spinach/egg dumplings, which were good, but not as amazing as the soup dumplings and green beans.
Mere: Literally anything you get is delicious. Loved the pork and chive dumplings especially.
Nitin Puri: Tips are spot on. The Soup Dumplings and the garlic string beans are delicious. Small restaurant and it was pretty full at 2:30 on a Weekday.
