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

We visited on a Sunday afternoon with a group of eight and no reservation, and were seated right away. Granted, it was during OSL weekend, but I appreciated that they opened their upstairs section to accommodate our large party. The food was solid and even exceeded my expectations. Nothing was overly greasy or oily. I really enjoyed this spot and would definitely return. A great option for larger groups. read more

Really enjoyed everything we tried, excellent XLB, braised green beans with a little jalapeño kick, dim sum combo with pumpkin sesame bun and signature scallion chicken served room temp recommendation of the house!!! We will be back soon to try some more fresh, tasty, and interesting dishes. Tea is complementary as well. read more

The food is delicious and the service is top tier, must try! The chef accidentally made us fried rice when we asked for chow mein and we got it for free! Not to mention when ordering online they're always so prompt. read more

Came here looking for a big bowl of sweet soy milk and Chinese donuts. ..... wasnt what I was expecting but everything else was spectacular! My boyfriend and I came around 2pm -- there were only a handful of guests left We got seated quickly and got the abalone and pork XLB, the spicy pig ears, wontons in chili oil, the Shanghai pan fried buns, the fried Chinese donut, and sweet soy milk. The sweet soy milk comes in a cup. When asked to put in the bowl, there were able to, but it was a bit lukewarm. Sad. The Chinese fried donut was soo good -- crispy and fluffy. I could not stop eating it. The XLB skin was so thin and the soup inside was delicious and flavorful. I think I can just get this and be satisfied. The pan fried buns were also good -- although it could be a tad more pan fried. There is not broth that comes out, like other places, but the meat is tender and juicy. The spicy pig ears were average, but ive been wanting them for awhile, so it satisfied a craving. And the wonton in chili oil was bombbb. they came hot and the sauce/broth it was sitting in was so delicious. Since I had asked for the sweet soy milk thats usually in a cup to be put in a bowl, the waiter had asked me if wanted to try the savory soy milk that comes in a bowl. I ordered it, and it was not my cup of tea. my boyfriend kind of liked it... it has a fermented mustard-green type taste, with a little bit of chili oil and bits of tofu flying around. Im sure other people liked it, but just not me. lol total was around $80 something. I would definitely come again if im in the area! read more

I've been wanting to come here for the longest time, since they're one of the few restaurants in SF that sell fantuan (sticky rice roll), but the one time I tried, they were really busy, and my schedule was inflexible, so I couldn't dine in. Finally, I got around to it! I ordered a fantuan as a starter and the Mongolian beef with rice dish. The fantuan was good as expected and satisfied the craving. The Mongolian beef entrée was quite tasty with very tender beef, and the portion was generous, so it was a great value. I really liked the food and atmosphere here and look forward to coming back. read more

Dumpling Bites is my go to spot in the Sunset district. The food is delicious, especially their regular XLB's, and they currently have a promo going on where you get a full dozen for $9.99! Can't go wrong with that! Jasper the server there, was also great. Very attentive, took care of our table, and even offered suggestions for new dishes that aren't even on the menu yet. Definitely will be back the next time I'm craving some nice, hot, steamed XLB's! read more

Every time, the food is phenomenal and perfect for sharing with a big group. The service is fast and friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the portions offer great value. read more

New Shanghainese restaurant in the Sunset! They definitely give a modern feel with the newly renovated setup. I came in on Thanksgiving and got seated immediately. My group of 4 ordered: Shanghai-Style Steamed Pork Xiao Long Bao (3/5) - Potentially the thinnest skinned XLB I've ever had and there was a good amount of soup/meat but the main thing was the flavor was lacking. Shanghai-Style Pan-Fried Pork Buns (3/5) - This was alright but nothing stood out to me like could be pan-fried more & have more flavor. Shanghai-Style Chow Mein (3/5) - A lot of veggies but not many noodles & the noodles were very choppy like small pieces everywhere. The flavor was good though. Boiled Pork & Sweet Corn Dumplings (3/5) - It was ok. This place has good prices but not sure I'd come back because of the lack of flavor. You could love this place if you're looking for a clean Shanghai taste though! Overall, just ok for me. read more

My new go to neighborhood dumpling spot. Ordered the crab and pork XLB, eggplant with garlic sauce over rice and deep fried salt and pepper squid. For a party of two this was a good amount of food. I love how you can order a dish over rice so you get best of both worlds (carbs and a veggie). Deep fried salt and pepper squid was super crunchy and had just the right amount of salt and pepper. XLB juicy and soup inside the dumpling was flavorful. The skin was thin and steamed to the right temperature. I also got the soy milk and asked for no sugar. 10/10!!! read more

Our dumplings came lukewarm, which was a huge disappointment because I prefer my food on the hotter side. Some of the soup in my dumpling dropped on my plate and it immediately turned into gelatin, so it wasn't anywhere near hot. We also got wonton soup, cucumber salad, hot and sour soup and pan fried bao (I don't remember the exact name). The pan fried bao was also okay.. something was just off about it and it didn't taste that great to me. The wonton soup was pretty good though. My favorite dish was the hot and sour soup. It came out popping hot and was very flavorful. It had a good balance of spicy and sour. I don't think I would come back here again because the food wasn't good for me. The place had a nice modern feel to it, but that is the only positive thing I can say about the place. There is no parking lot, but a block or two away there is free parking. read more

I've walked by this new dumpling spot for weeks and finally decided to give it a try! It's newly remodeled so everything is brand new and so modern in there! The food was great and fresh and the workers were nice and quick! We ordered XLB, black bean noodles, crab and pork XLB, the pan fried buns along with their walnut shrimp and wonton noodle (not pictured)! We also got their sweet and savory soy milk! Everything was so good and not overly sweet for the soy milk! I didn't have the wonton noodle but my friend mentioned that it was a tad bit too salty! Although it hasn't stopped them from going back as they been back at least once a week since! read more

Dumpling Bites is one of my new favorite dumpling spots in the sunset/even in SF! It's pretty affordable and the dumplings are made really well. I especially like their XLB/soup dumplings and SJB/pan fried baos. The XLBs have a super thin skin and are so satisfying to eat with the soup inside! (Just make sure to let them cool off first lol). Can't wait to come with more people so we can order more! read more

Honestly just a basic dumpling spot with typical dishes. They're selling a seasonal plate of 4 pumpkin black sesame buns for $8.99 -- these are a sweet dessert, with zero pumpkin flavor. Don't be fooled, unless you like black sesame anything. Their best dish is the salt and pepper fish fillet $16.99 and their skip is a toss up between the sichuan noodle in peanut sauce $13.99, which had absolutely no peanut taste at all and was all sesame paste or the potstickers $11.99 that are worst than the ones I have in my freezer from Costco. I was also not too impressed with the pan fried Shanghai pork buns. Mine lacked juicy soup. The XLBs were also pretty basic. There are 2 young folks working this entire restaurant that has 2 floors so the service was not very attentive. They're also trying to manage phone calls with takeout orders on top of 30 tables so it was hectic for them. Total bill was $98.78 and I was still hungry for more food. Check out my photos for prices of each dish we ordered read more

Ironically the dumplings were the worst part, I wouldn't rate it higher than any store bought ones. Very gamey. The buns, noodles, and chicken wings were acceptable but definitely lacking flavor. It was also off putting to be offered a "complimentary" dessert in exchange for a Google review. Most other Chinese restaurants would just give you the dessert without asking. I can see how it's so highly rated on Google now. If you're a tourist or you've never eaten Chinese food it's not terrible. But pretty much any place on Irving will be better. read more

Located along Noriega, there's usually plenty of parking, though it is mainly residential parking. Dumpling Bites offers Shanghainese food in the Sunset, and boasts a large variety. Overall, I would recommend for dinner if you're in the area but not a destination spot. We ordered the Xiao Long Bao, Sauteed String Bean, Mapo Tofu, Wonton in Chili Oil, Shanghai-Style Chow Mein, and Pan Fried Pork Bun. They were all decent, hitting all the right flavor notes but nothing unique or outstanding, but the one I was interested in the most (the sheng jian bao) was a bit of a let down. . Pan Fried Pork Bun: (3/5) Decent crispy bottom but not enough soup inside, and the breading was soggy as it was steamed a little too long. I think Dumpling Home does it better. read more

Came here for a quick lunch with the wife. We shared the Shanghai steamed soup dumplings and the wonton noodle soup. Both were SO delicious and we were stuffed by the time we were done eating. There were a few open tables and we were able to get seated quickly. Service was fast, workers were nice, and the place was clean. Safe to say we'll be adding this restaurant to our list of go-to dumpling places! We'll definitely come back here again. read more

One of my go to places when I'm in the area. This is a great place for my xiao long baos which is delicious and not over priced. 4 people for $100 at dinner time including tip is such a good deal! We got a rice plate, string beans, honey walnut shrimp, xiaolong bao and chili wonton which was enough for 4 of us. The place is great for small or big hang outs. So far every time we came around dinner time we haven't had to wait more than 5 mins for a table. Happy accidents with always catching another table leaving. :) still think about the xiao long baos to this day! read more

Awesome soup dumplings! Nuff said. Over all food was very good and service was nice and friendly. Will definitely come back!

Dare I say Dumpling Home dupe? *Dumpling Home minus the outrageous wait, and in the lovely still fog of the Sunset neighborhood! We tried the shengjian bao (which reached the threshold of bouncy QQ, and bursting with soup), har gow and soup dumplings (solid), dry fried wings (wasn't expecting that to be here; perfect combo of Santung & Korean fried chicken style - sweet and sticky), cucumber salad (homey, refreshing, crisp), and five spice beef brisket noodle soup (insane pairing with the cold weather). Simply put, you'll be full and happy! read more

4.5/5 Dropped in for lunch ~1pm on Thursday. Aside from a couple tables, the place wasn't packed so we got seated quickly. What we ordered: - Spicy Thinly Sliced Pig Ear ~ Not as oily as other places have it, which was a plus! A great appetizer to start the table off. - Shanghai-style stir-fried Rice Cakes ~ Very homestyle. A little on the oily side. This dish needed chili oil which was provided at the table to help with flavor. - Abalone and pork steamed xiao long bao ~ This was the star of the show! A lot of soup dumplings are heavy and oily, but the broth of this one was lighter compared to others. Without the vinegar, the broth was refreshing and you can taste the sweetness of the abalone. I like my vinegar tart, but the vinegar provided here was on the lighter side. Dumplings weren't as heavy so it did not need the tartness of the vinegar to balance it out, therefore a lighter vinegar made sense. All in all, Pretty decent. Would return to try other items on the menu! read more

Happened upon this place after a park day with family. We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the place overall; very bright and welcoming inside. Service was also top tier, we were greeted/seated right away. They had a special going for the Iced HK milk tea and had to try it out. Once it was served to us, they offered to make adjustments if it was too bitter or sweet. Which I absolutely appreciated! Didn't need that service though because it was perfect. We ordered the dry braised string beans (a must order for our family and it didn't disappoint), wonton noodle soup (huge portion of noodles and about 6 wontons), Shanghai style XLB (not the best we've had, but definitely a must try!), wontons in chili sauce (this was the least favorite from our order. Chili sauce was red vinegar heavy and it was probably best to just order the wontons plain and make your own sauce), garlic fried pork ribs (server actually recommended this to us and it was probably the best thing we had !!) The fillings for the XLB and wontons were really good! Good balance of meat, flavor was spot on. Especially when the filling would pop out of the wrapper, I wouldn't mind just eating the dumpling filling on its own lol). As we were packing whatever was left of our food, pretty much was just the wonton noodle soup since it was such a huge portion, they even offered to give us fresh broth to take home. Would definitely come back! read more

Some of the best Chinese food in the Sunset district. We ordered: - Shanghai-Style Steamed Pork Xiao Long Bao - Shanghai-Style Stir-Fried Rice Cake - Wonton Noodle Soup - Eggplant with Garlic Sauce The food came out quickly, and the portions were generous. All of the stir-fried entrees had that wok flavor if you know what I mean. The wonton soup was comforting, and the XLBs were juicy and savory. I had no favorite entree because they were all so yummy. I'd ordered all of the dishes again. It was a scrumptious meal with great customer service. (e.g., I left my credit card on the table and one of the waiters ran two blocks to give it back to me!) read more

Small restaurant with quick service and yummy food for reasonable prices Tried the Shanghai rice cake, clay pot fish head, string beans, and soy milk. All was delicious, a little on the oily side. My favorite was the string beans The restaurant is good for small to medium sized groups and the food is authentic. Would recommend! read more

Great food in the sunset!! Must get the pea shoots because they're cooked perfectly with whole garlic cloves. They also have so many variations of soup dumplings and we decided to go with the abalone ones (never seen this before) and the flavor was good but was chewier than I would've liked. Good service. Okay ambiance, they kept the restaurant pretty cold in temp, almost all the customers kept their jackets on. Would come back to try more dumplings. read more

We came to Dumpling Bites for a very late lunch on a Sunday afternoon and there were plenty of tables available. This restaurant is located on Noriega and 23rd in SF's Sunset District. The restaurant was clean with very high ceilings (there's a second floor). We ordered the pork xiao long bao ($13.99), crab and pork xiao long bao ($15.99), Shanghai rice cakes ($13.99), salt and pepper chicken wings ($16.99). The salt and pepper chicken wings were really tasty! The pork xiao long bao had 10 pieces and were really good. The crab and pork xlbs were pretty good too, but I couldn't taste much of the crab flavor so it might be better to just get the pork xlbs. The Shanghai rice cakes were perfect! The rice cakes had the right amount of chewiness and the cabbage and sliced pork were great. The vegetable dumplings were okay. Not the vegetarian's favorite. The waitress let us know that they were running a summer promotion - if you order over $50 worth of food, you can select a scratch card. We scratched a free drink and ordered the savory soy milk. The savory soy milk was just okay...I've definitely had much better, however, not many places sell this, so the fact that they sell it is pretty good. Our server was very nice, however, sometimes not very attentive to our table. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at Dumpling Bites, especially the pork xiao long bao, salt and pepper chicken wings, and Shanghai rice cakes. read more

Food was good. We had the XLB, pea sprouts, siu mai, potstickers and something else. I really liked the XLB. It was the star. The skins were really thin and chewy. There was more soup than most places. Just like everywhere, you need to eat them hot. I noticed after it cooled, it had the mouthfeel of the gelatin soup. I think it was much more pronounced because of the high soup ratio. Everything else was good also. The ingredients and executions were all good. I thought this was a winner. read more

Dumpling spot that hits the mark! Finally tried this place that got my attention. The pan fried dumplings to XLBs were well seasoned, crispy perfection on the potsticker crust, and juicy meat in the center. Noodles had the classic "wok hay" flavor, nicely salty, and chew noodles. The wings were bursting with deep brined taste. To top it off, the restaurant has great high ceilings which makes it very spacious, and the dining room feels fresh, clean, and comfortable. read more

Excellent food and service. I had a little bit of everything from here and everything was delicious. Consistently high quality.

We have had great food and great service every time. They are always able to accommodate our large party with lots of kids.

Jason, the manager, does a great job, as even their young staff is always on point. read more

It was our first time here. There were four of us on a Friday afternoon around 12:45 pm. We had to wait (outside), but as busy as it was, I don't think we waited more than 10 minutes or so. They are pretty quick. The quickness continued even as we sat down. It was clear the staff was there with purpose - get everyone in, offer the seats, offer the menu, come right back, take the order, bring food quickly. They truly waste no time. I feel like I took longer to order than they wanted, but it was our first time and I really wanted to be thorough about what we were about to eat! lol (For the record, they weren't pushy, but I could tell they wanted to get moving along). The food overall was good. It came out fast and hot, The XLB was good. The Shanghai style noodles were a bit bland. We also got walnut prawns, hot and sour soup, salt and pepper chicken, and pan fried potstickers - all pretty good. This place is a good option in addition to Dumpling Kitchen nearby. I'm sure there's some competition being in the same neighborhood. read more

The restaurant was super busy on a Saturday, but we were seated quickly. We ordered xiao long bao, Shanghai style stir-fried rice cake, sticky rice rolls, and sweet and sour chicken. I loved the rice cake. It was so flavorful, chewy and not too soggy. The xiao long bao was juicy, and but some of them were broken when we got it, and the soup already leaked out. The rice rolls didn't have much flavor, so I would skip it. The sweet and sour chicken was tender. You really can't go wrong with this dish. read more

The XLB skin is so thin and so juicy. Service is nice and the eating area is clean and tidy. Come try their XLB!

I came here for lunch and ordered the original XLBs, a rice roll, and the wontons in chili oil. The original XLBs are amazing. There is so much soup and flavor when you bite into them. Be careful because the soup really bursts out. The rice roll was just okay. Wouldn't get it again. The wontons in chili oil were pretty good too. It's not as flavorful as the XLBs but definitely had a lot of filling to the wonton. It seems like only one person managing the customers so service is a bit slower but they're responsive when you wave them down read more
