The food and service was excellent! The dishes are full of flavor and portioned generously! We will be back.

it was so good and yummy. The food was perfect and the service was great. It's def worth it

Fairly new place in the Sunset. The restaurant is bright and airy with high ceilings and two floors of dining. Numerous angled parking spots on busy Noriega. We had the boiled shrimp and chive dumplings, the salt & pepper fried tofu cubes, dried beef chow fun, and red bean paste pancake for dessert. All were tasty and good. Their ice milk tea is also good and is on special right now! Service is very good with nice polite employees. read more

We got the pork and crab xlb, Dan Dan noodles, sizzling black pepper beef, pork potstickers, pork sheng jian bao, and the beef brisket rice noodles clay pot. We liked most of the food, but the Hong Kong milk tea was too sweet and the hot and sour soup had too much pepper. It was a bit hard to flag down service since it seemed like they only had two servers total. read more

A dumpling restaurant that mixes Hong Kong and Shanghai tastes under one roof. I don't think I've had HK milk tea with XLB until I came to Dumpling Bites, and it worked out. The beef chow fun was a solid option. Both buns were really good. It was too bad their soy milk machine was out of order, I was really hoping to try their salty soy milk (will try again in the future). Overall, this restaurant offered great options and bonus points for being a good option when dining with kids. read more

Their service was quick and the staff was very nice. We were there on a onday afternoon and it quickly filled up but they were very attentive. XLB was very good - nice and soupy on the inside and the price was a good deal. I would order again. String beans - nicely crunchy and sauteed. It wasn't too salty and I would say that's my second fav next to the XLB. Shanghai noodles - this was okay. It needed more WOK flavor and it could use more salt in this dish. But the noodles was a good consistency. Pork + corn dumplings - this was wasn't bad but it was okay. I guess I was hoping for more flavor inside. The skin was a tad thicker. Too but I would say 3/5 stars. I also had the HK MILK TEA & 5/5. I think it was $3.99 for a good size mug. Overall it was a 4/5 for me. read more

Nice! Chill spot with nice set up and quick service. TBH...expected much more from the XLB. the chow mein was really good though, and they were nice enough to substitute the pork w beef! read more

I recommend sticking to their dumplings. Their five spice braised beef noodle soup was just okay. I thought the noodle consistency/texture was weird. The broth was on the bland side - may be a different style because it was not the same color at all. We did enjoy their dumplings and potstickers though. I can't say it's better than Dumpling Home or Din Ding but they scratched the XLB itch well. I like how they also offer hong kong style milk tea. I highly recommend asking for less sweet or no additional sweet (not sure if it's an option). read more

Good food, nice staff. This spot's been on my list for a while since it's well rated and I share the same sentiments. We tried and enjoyed the 10 piece XLBs - v soupy Spicy fish - not too spicy Shrimp and silky egg rice - enjoyed the silky egg Shanghai rice cakes - flavorful, a bit salty bc of the mustard greens Cucumber - enjoyed the fresh garlic. You can add vinegar to adjust the flavors Will def be back. Pay cash for 5% off your bill. read more

Ordered catering from Dumpling Bites for ~60 people and was not disappointed! Jason from Dumpling Bites was very communicative, kind, and helpful before and during the time he set up the trays. The event attendees were very happy, complimenting the dumplings and asking where we'd ordered from! We ordered - Pan-Fried Vegetarian Potstickers - Steamed Vegetarian Dumplings - Wonton in Chili Oil - crystal shrimp dumplings - boiled pork and chive dumplings - steamed shrimp and pork shiu mai - steamed bbq pork buns You can't go wrong with any of these! They were fresh, just the right amount of spicy, not too thick of skin, and a good amount of meat and protein in them! Sometimes restaurants scrimp, but Dumpling Bites really filled up those dumplings with filling. Will order from them again, and maybe stop by when I'm in the Sunset! read more

Highly recommend coming to Dumpling Bites if you're on/near Noriega and looking for a place to eat. We came by for a late lunch and the place had plenty of tables and we were seated immediately. Our staff was quick to get plates and menus brought out for us. We ordered the following: - salt and pepper fish - beef and cilantro soup - green onion pancake - wontons in chili oil - pork and napa cabbage dumplings - dry fried chicken wings My favorite by far was the salt and pepper fish. You get a giant mound of food but the dish wasn't heavy at all - the fish fillets are super light and flaky and the breading was light and fluffy - I liken it to eating potato chips - once you start, you can't stop until the entire thing is gone. The soup was very fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot for us. Green onion pancakes were crispy, but not greasy. The wonton/dumplings were freshly made in house, the dumplings even came out in the steamer they use to cook it. The chicken wings were covered in a sweet and spicy glaze sauce and the chicken meat was super tender and juicy. All in all, the food was amazing, and we all left very satisfied. read more

Came here on a Tuesday afternoon and had a great experience. Every dish we ordered was pretty good, but the XLB (Soup Dumplings) were the highlight. They were loaded with broth and the skins were perfectly cooked. Just a heads up to be careful with that first bite because the soup was really hot, and you definitely don't want to burn your mouth. The space is huge with two floors, and the service was super friendly and fast. read more

Yummy food with plenty of options. We started with a glass of the cold sweet soy milk with a Chinese fried dough. The milk was very refreshing and tasted fresh; the donut had a nice crispy and airy inside. The pork with preserved vegetable rice cake felt so homey and had plenty of flavor. It had the right amount of chew and was quite addicting. The Shanghai style steamed pork XLB was actually kind of forgettable, but the Dried scallop and pork steamed XLB stole the show. The flavors of the scallop and pork paired nicely together making a wonderfully flavor-blasted dish. Service was quick and it felt very modern inside. Will definitely be coming back regularly! read more

Came with some friends after climbing the Moraga Steps and what a gem this was! They have a special anniversary deal where you ca. get XLB for 50% off! Whaaaa?!!!! We couldn't believe it so we got 30 orders, 10 for each of us, challenge accepted! I have to admit the first XLB I had I was a little disappointed but for the value I was impressed. But the second XLB I added more vinegar/soy sauce and I was sooooooo impressed! 5/5! We also ordered the spicy eggplant and garlic over rice and my friends liked it but I was too focused on the XLB to try it! The waitstaff was nice and patient and explained the deal to us and didn't roll their eyes when we gasped. They followed up to make sure everything was fine. Lastly, the bathroom was nice! Now that's a rarity in lots of restaurants! Can't wait to come back with the fam! read more

Came on a weekday evening, no wait, interior was spacious and lots of table and clean We ordered 1. Classic pork XLB: very soupy and lots of flavor 9/10 2. Sichuan style noodle with peanut sauce: this one was kinda spicy but I usually cant eat spicy. It probably won't be spicy for people who can eat spicy. Plenty of sauce on the noodle, flavors were meaty and saucy 8/10 3. Eggplant with garlic: this one was solid. I really liked the sweet and garlicky flavor. Not spicy. Some eggplants were slightly burnt but overall very good 9.5/10 Overall, I would come back again! Food and service were great! read more

Ordered House Special Pork Garlic Spareribs. Salt & garlic batter coated and fried. Not really special. I'd prefer a little more garlic and add jalapeño. The ribs were good size and quality but with the fat hidden by the coating and since it's fried I may have ordered another dish since the menu didn't specify. Ordered house dumplings in a soup base. In my decades of ordering dumplings at a Chinese noodle house there's usually pork and shrimp wrapped in a larger wrapper. These were wonton sized with just pork and chives. Maybe this was just a mistake. Came with a plain salty broth with a few Bok Choy. Service was very good by nice polite servers with complimentary tea. Prices are a tad on the higher side. read more

This time we ordered rice cakes, potstickers, xlbs, fried rice, and a couple of drink specials. The rice cakes were the standout this time. It was cooked perfectly to my liking with just a bit of char and some great flavor from the pork and veggies. I have been here before and highly recommend their Dan Dan noodles as well! Lastly, this place is one of the rare spots that still offer savory soy milk and fan tuan. All in all we will be back for more. read more

Everything was good but the crystal shrimp dumplings and rice rolls were my favorites. In fact, these were the best shrimp dumplings I've ever had!

Dim Sum Dreams After a Golden Gate Park Run Totally stumbled on this spot after driving in from Sacramento to run Golden Gate Park starting at Ocean Beach. One of us had a random post-run craving for dim sum--and wow, what a find! There was a bit of a wait (Sunday brunch rush, so fair enough), but it moved pretty quickly. The interior was super cute, but we opted to wait outside for a table. Pro tip: they didn't seem to be calling out names to folks waiting outside, so we might have missed our name the first time around. Definitely worth checking in periodically if you're waiting outside. We rolled in hungry and ordered a little bit of everything for five of us: shu mai, chili oil dumplings, garlic bok choy, house ribs, eggplant, garlic string beans, dry beef chow fun, salt & pepper wings, kung pao chicken, and three sides of rice. Yes, we went all in. No regrets. Literally everything hit. The flavors were bold, portions generous, and nothing felt overly greasy or heavy. If we had to be picky, the shu mai and ribs weren't our faves (still solid, just not as standout), and we probably could've done just fine with two servings of rice. I am a beef chow fun lover, and this one was definitely top of list. All of us agreed the eggplant, string beans and wings were faves too. Overall? Super tasty, super satisfying, and totally worth a return visit. Bookmark this one--it's a sweet little hidden gem. We'll def come back to this one! read more

First off their anniversary deal is GREAT. 50% off a short menu list of specialty dishes. Choose one item (as many of the same item) and all are half price. We ordered 3 of the Shanghai XLB and all three were $8 each (regularly $16). What a deal! Seating area is fresh and seems newly renovated. Servers were quick and efficient even though it was a full house on a Wednesday! Street parking can be a challenge especially on weekends in this Sunset neighborhood shopping district. Came with Mom who is in a wheelchair and they had a large round table with plenty of space for her to roll up to. Thumbs up for that! We ordered... Started with Hot and Sour Soup (double order), with pork and veggies, Not overly sour, touch of sweetness great for increasing your appetite Shanghai Steamed XLB (3 orders), Hot and savory with a ton of HOT soup inside Shanghai Chow Mein, Thick chewy noodles with nice ratio of veggies and pork Shanghai Pan Fried Pork Buns (2 orders), Nice tender bun with crispy fried bottom and juicy pork ball filling Shanghai Stir Fried Rice Cake, Soft and tender rice cake slices with Unami flavor, veggies and pork slices. So good! So you see there is a trend to order the "Shanghai" inspired dishes here their specialty. The above fed 8 of us and a small take home container leftover. Just go....! read more

I'm making this my new go-to dumpling restaurant. They have a 50% XLB special for the summer. $7 for 10 XLB. Name one place that has a better price. You can't. Cucumbers 3.5/5: okay. not marinated for long enough so flavors don't penetrate. Needed more time, vinegar, and chili imo. But it's refreshing to have alongside other dishes. XLB 4.7/5: I love xlb and theirs were so good! Skin's thin but does not stick to the paper or rip when you pick it up. Meats flavorful. A ton of soup in each one. I usually put vinegar and chili on my xlb, but these had so much flavor that I actually preferred it without. With the summer deal going on, I'll definitely be back for more. Pork with preserved vegetable rice cake 3.5/5: this would have been a 4.5/5 had it not been overly salted. It was recommended by the waitress. Good flavor and wok hei. There was some nice crust on some of the chewy rice cake which added even more of a textural component. There was plenty of pork but not enough egg. Pan fried pork bun 4/5: the bun itself is really good compared to other places. It actually tastes like a bao from a Chinese bakery. Good sear on the bottom. Thoroughly cooked dough throughout and not too thick. Meat was very umami with a decent amount of soup inside. Street parking was easy and free. Plenty of table with no wait on a Friday at 1pm. Food came out fast and hot. It was clean and the staff was nice. Affordable, filling, and yummy! The trifecta. read more

I came here on a Saturday night about an hour before closing. I was very surprised to see only 1 other party there when we entered the restaurant. We ordered the crab & pork XLB, chili oil wontons, hot sweet soy milk and a Chinese fried donut. All the food was fresh and came out hot, but nothing was spectacular. Also, there was holes at the top of the xlb dumplings? Why weren't they pinched closed..? The service and wait staff were attentive. Unsure why they didn't have the heat turned on in the restaurant for patrons when it was 47 degrees.. read more

Hubs craving dumplings so we stopped here as we had yet to try Dumpling Bites. Kiddo and I love fish soy milk, so we were happy to find it on the menu. We ordered the sweet one and cold - it wasn't too sweet. The soy flavor was a bit too subtle for us and tasted a bit watered down, unfortunately. Moving on to the food, the Shanghai XLB were soupy and good. The steamed pork and cabbage dumplings were ok - skin a bit too doughy and may have been better fried like potstickers. The pan fried pork dumplings came last - served hot. They were ok. Loved the pig ears and cucumber salad. Kiddo enjoyed the wonton noodle soup. The dry fried wings were good as well. Service was good and the waitstaff were friendly. Glad to finally give this place a try. read more

Lovely XLB spot in Sunset that i'm happy to say stands out a little bit above the others. We noticed a lot of tables during Sunday lunch so write your name down on the waitlist as soon as you can. All our food came out on time. The rundown: 1. Pork + Pork&Crab XLB: One of the most juiciest ever. Get it if you're a fan of lots of soup. It could be more flavorful but I was impressed by how the skins did not break even once. 2. Shredded Chicken + Pork Belly: Nice chilled appetizer. Heavy on the green onions and garlic. I loved this, it's addicting! 3. Green Beans: Crispy and not drowned with sauce. Truly was "dry-fried." 4. Dry fried chicken wings: Speaking of sauce, this one was kinda drowning in it and was a bit salty for my taste. But crispy! 5. Shanghai Rice Cakes: Absolutely yummy. Every table had this dish. 6. Sticky rice roll: delicious but they need to wrap this tighter haha. 7. Big downside was the dumplings. I have had them twice now and their skins are too soft and delicate and come with holes. Don't recommend. Pretty solid spot for dumplings in the Sunset area. Aside from the dumplings I would bring my friends here. Will be back! read more

Boiled or pan fried, the dumplings here are big, juicy and delicious. The pork XLBs, won ton in chili oil, Shanghai style pork buns are at the top of my list. I also enjoyed the crispy green onion pancake and the crispy tofu. The green beans had a good spicy kick to them and rounded out all the carbs. The soups and noodle dishes are alright. The beef in the beef brisket noodle soup was hit or miss. My fiancé had just finished commenting on how the beef was so tender and I said "no way mine was dry!" He tried the rest of my piece and said "oh weird!" Not sure how the same item in the same soup bowl could be so different. The Sichuan style noodles in peanut sauce, Shanghai style chow mein and stir fried rice cake were all ok. Stick with the namesake: you can't go wrong with the dumplings. Throw in an order of green onion pancakes and some veggies for a complete meal. read more

Had a great dinner here. I love their menu and service was on point. We enjoyed pretty much everything. Sheng jian bao were good, wontons had an interesting and tasty filling but I wanted more flavor from the chili oil. House special rolls are unique and worth trying. Highlights- XLB - these are really delicious. Piping hot, full of gelatinous soup, soft and savory filling.. really good Dry fried string beans - beans are nice and crispy crunchy, good flavor and not overly salty Would not order again- Cucumber salad - marinade is too light, pieces of cucumber are too big, so not enough flavor. Will definitely be back to try more! read more

Tonight our family first time went to this place. We had 8 people to have dinner with amazed experiences with fully tummy. We ordered Xiao Long Bao, my bf said that there Xiao Long Bao is the best one in Bay Area. I loved the Pan Fried Pork Buns, it was huge size with 6 pieces, it tasted very fluffy with the bread and very fresh with the filling meat. Also, we ordered eggplants, seasonal pea sprouts. It tasted less greasy, pretty healthy. Wonton noodle soup: they wonton wrap tasted like in house made, we liked it. In additional, beef brisket noodle soup, pork with preserved vegetables noodles soup, rice cakes, savory soy milk, sweet soy milk, hot milk tea and cold lemon tea. At the end, we order the red bean pasty pancakes - the texture not too thick and not too thin. Their service was excellent as well. Next time we planned to invite another family to join us. However, the elders worried to get a bigger table need to walk upstairs, the waiters over heard and told us they could do some arrangement to setup a big table on the ground floor when we called ahead of time. read more
