If you ever wanted to try soup dumplings, look no further. I was new to this cuisine and this place had the perfect offerings. We tried a few things on the menu and they were all amazing. Their outdoor patio is great where you can spend some quality time with your friends/family.

Service was fantastic, did I say service was good. In todays world, in the service world, service is what counts most. Then comes the so many different chioces of dumplings, lamb, beef, pork and fish, it was a party eating there. Loved it and will be back and they are reasonable on the pricing.

tried several dumpling options from this place at a catered event and got a good sense of their range.
The veggie spring rolls were standard fare – crisp, fresh, and exactly what you expect from a spring roll. The vegetable dumplings, filled with local greens, carrot, cilantro, mushroom, and egg, were decent. I couldn’t really taste the egg, and overall the filling felt like a typical vegetable mix. Solid, but nothing particularly memorable.
The chicken dumplings, with chicken, assorted mushrooms, green onion, and cilantro, were good and well-balanced. Nothing dramatically stood out. Neither in a great nor disappointing way but they were enjoyable and well-executed.
The BBQ pork bao with char siu roasted pork belly was very good. The barbecue flavor was rich and satisfying, tucked inside a soft, moist bun that held everything together beautifully.
The real standout was the lobster siu mai with chives, butter, and white truffle oil. I’ve never had a dumpling quite like it. It was rich and creamy without overpowering the lobster, which tasted clean and true to itself. Easily the most memorable bite of the evening.
The har gow with shrimp and juicy pork was also excellent. The seafood tasted fresh, and the thin wrapper gave it that delicate, classic texture you want in a good har gow.
If you go, prioritize the seafood-based dumplings. They were easily the highlight and absolutely worth trying.

The tom yum XLB was delicious, and the siu mai was pretty good. The truffle XLB was just okay, with a thick dumpling skin. The har gow also had, in my opinion, a thicker skin. The wine corkage fee is $20.

What a place this is, after a lot of discussions we decided to head to this place and we were glad we did. The outdoor sitting is just fab, the service is on point and what can I say about the food, I’m just in love with it, everything we ordered was top notch the lobster shu mai took my heart away.

This is one of the absolute best dumpling places out there. Whenever we are in the area we always stop by for some deliciousness. Seriously guys, I haven’t tried better dumplings anywhere else. Also, tried their jellyfish salad for the first time and it was goooooood but a tad bit spicy. Also, lotus was yummy!!! Anyways, definitely give this place a shot

It’s not looking good. Beef noodle soup and pho listed as beef – spiced broth cilantro lime IS ALL MADE WITH WHEAT NOODLES. I DIFFINITLY WONT BE BACK.
I SO DISLIKE WRITING BAD REVIEWS BUT THIS PLACE DESERVES IT.FAKE PHO IS AS LOW AS IT GOES FOR THOSE IN THE KNOW. MENU IS NOT HONEST WRITTEN DECEPTIVELY. I ORDERED PORK DUMPLINGS AND NOE BEEN HERE TO TOO 2 LONG . WISH I HADN’T ORDERED cilantro see photo not on pork dumpling menu and for me cilantro taste like soap. No competent Asian chef would add cilantro in the dish . It’s put on side for customer to add. Refusing dish deceptive and dishonest menu. I will stay away from here.

I can’t stop telling people how awesome this place is.
I was visiting SF and I’m so glad I made the Uber drive to eat here.
I ended ordering twice because it was so good. I ordered the lamb and red dumplings and they were very filling, but it was my last day in town, so I placed another order of both of them. I don’t regret this decision.
This restaurant is a must for anyone visiting the Bay Area.
The servers and management were incredibly friendly and professional. There service was fast and this location is beautiful!!
Update:
I planned a layover purposefully to SF just to visit Dumpling Time. And now I realize this is my favorite restaurant in the USA.

Very mediocre. Really dislike when xlbs are presented in tinfoil cups. I expected higher quality tbh. Scallion noodles were overcooked and mushy. Best thing was the chili sauce and snap peas. Restaurant ambience is nice though and spacious. Other than that, i don’t get the hype and there are many other places to get the same food but better.
