We were in Chinatown on a nice day and wanted something easy, so we stopped at Fusion Dumpling. It ended up being a really nice little break from walking around. We sat at the bar, which I actually liked. The place had that traditional Chinese restaurant feel, with warm lighting, simple decor, and the sounds and smells coming from the kitchen. Our waitress was really nice and gave us really nice recommendations. We ordered the sweet and sour spare ribs and the pork soup dumplings. The ribs were so tender they practically came apart with the fork. The sauce had that sweet and tangy thing going on, with a little savory depth that made me keep going back for another bite. The outside had a nice glaze, while the meat underneath was soft and juicy. Really good balance between the sweetness and that sharp sour flavor. The pork soup dumplings were probably my favorite. They were packed with hot, flavorful broth, so that first bite needs a little caution. The pork was tender, savory, and the broth had a rich, almost slightly salty flavor that mixed really well with the soft dumpling wrapper. Juicy, warm, and full of flavor. read more

We had a reservation and showed up right on time, and when we arrived it took about 10 minutes to get seated, as there was no host / no way to check in. We got seated toward the back, the restaurant is really cute except this obnoxiously bright chandelier above the far back table.. And once we were seated, it took another 15 or so minutes before we were greeted / had drink orders taken. Not the best start, but fortunately the food mostly made up for it. We split a couple dishes: -explosive chicken - this dish was great, and exactly what I was hoping for -green onion pancakes - probably my least favorite dish, it tasted really fishy and had a weird texture -string beans - really good, and cooked perfectly -pork XLB - a bit on the bland side, but still really good. I would pass on these and try a spicier dish if I were to come back -corn & cheese buns - ok actually this was my least favorite dish. In fact, I found them to be repulsive... -mapo tofu - SOOOO good, probably the best mapo tofu I've ever had Overall the prices are reasonable, and the presentation of the dishes were so unique and fun. The service is really bad, and some of the dishes were huge misses, but I think the good really outweighed the bad for me. read more

Found this spot while exploring Chinatown on a Friday and it did not disappoint. We arrived around 8pm and got lucky with about a 10-minute wait. As soon as walked in, the smell alone made us excited to eat. Service was friendly and attentive from the moment we were greeted. We shared the pork soup dumplings, spicy beef noodle soup, and the dumpling sampler with shrimp, pork, and beef dumplings. Overall, a great spot if you're ever craving dumplings. I'd happily come back when visiting SF. read more

Weekday lunch. Casual, yet slightly elevated Chinese restaurant. Arrived right at 11:30am opening for a party of 5 and was sat right away. Waitress was Jiaxin who was very friendly and attentive. - braised peking duck with pancakes - duck was braised in a hoisin-like sauce and served alongside pancakes, herbs, cucumber, onion, scallions. Wasa crowd favorite and arguably as good a Peking duck pancakes - pork soup dumplings - might be one of the best XLBs in the city. Thin dough with plenty of meat and soup. The dumpling sags when you pick it up which is a great sigh - pan-fried pork soup bao - solid bao filled with pork and soup. Be careful when eating as soup can shoot out of the bao - honey walnut prawns - a must get. Juicy large prawns, individually served - cold bowl noodle - a cold sichuan noodle served literally in a ice, shaped like a bowl. Refreshing on a hot day with enough spice to taste without being over-spicy read more

If you're shopping in China Town, this is the place to stop to eat! My family used to always go to Bundt a couple doors down but it closed. We found this place on Yelp and we really enjoyed it. The food was so delicious. We got the scallion pancakes, green beans, cucumber salad, pan friend noodles, tan tan noodles, and xiaolongbao. We also ordered a pot of the oolong tea which was presented over a candle, the attention to detail was great and presentation of all of the dishes was gorgeous. The price point was not bad at all either. We went around 1:40 and it wasn't too crowded. Service was great, food was hot and delicious and the decor is beautiful. It's very clean inside as well. We will definitely be back! My ONLY gripe is that they didn't have the black vinegar and shredded ginger for the xiaolongbao. Other than that, truly a 10/10 restaurant for us! read more

We were only in San Fran for a day and my partner demanded that we have dinner in Chinatown! We strolled around until we found Fusion Dumpling, and it was STELLAR! A bit unassuming since the entrance is a bit dark and extended, but once you're into the restaurant, it is inviting, clean, and well-decorated. The staff were very attentive to our needs and helpful at deciding what to order! We shared a bunch of different plates! Crab Puffs were absolutely delish, and I love when crab is included, not just cream cheese. Pork gyoza were a great blend of crispy and chewy, with a delectable filling. The fried rice was savory and unique... definitely not your typical takeout fried rice. The STAR was the Pan Fried Pork Soup Bao, served in an adorable tree platter, it has a chewy, bready exterior and filled with steaming soup filling. Absolutely unique and delicious! So glad we stumbled upon this place and would absolutely return! read more

The beer in the window helped us decide to eat here and I'm glad it did. They serve wine sake as well. We had a couple Sapporos. They give you a carafe of water with water glasses. The place was pretty busy when we came for dinner but the wait wasn't very long for our party of three. The inside was very cozy and inviting and for as busy as it was you could still have a conversation at normal levels. We had the pork dumplings for an appetizer and they were huge with a crispy bottom and a lovely soft steamed top. The pork was so tender and juicy. If we hadn't already ordered dinner we would've gotten more. My friend had Wagyu cubes with black pepper or black truffle Was amazing! So tender and juicy and the portion is absolutely perfect! My partner had the Cumin Lamb Ribs with Potatoes. Sooooo good. I need to know what those seasonings are.. Everything in this dish had a subtle smoky flavor. The onions on the crispy potatoes life changing. You're welcome! I had the braised Peking duck w/ duck pancakes. It came with veggies on the side and the sauce on the duck was fantastic and I made little rollups with the pancakes 10/10. The restrooms are down stairs so keep that in mind is you require accessible accommodations. Our server was nice and personable. And everything ordered came by pretty quickly. Definitely try this place in Chinatown and take a friend with you! read more

I was told about their xlb, so I had to come check it out for myself. I ordered the pan-fried buns, xlb, and crab meat lo mein. Presentation for the dishes were so cute. The crab lo mein and pan-fried buns were definitely the standouts for me, both were packed with flavor. The soup inside the pan-fried buns was especially rich and savory, honestly even better than the broth in the xlb. The bottoms had the perfect crispy crunch, and I loved that the dough wasn't too thick or heavy. read more

Updating to add that Fusion has become my go-to restaurant in Chinagtown, an impressively high bar for this major tourist attraction in SF. What really sealed the deal for me is that when I brought my friends visiting from the East Coast here mid-week for dinner, we were promptly seated, our order was taken within a reasonable amount of time, and our teapot never ran dry. The service was truly exceptional and stood out to me. Aside from the attentiveness of the staff, the food was better this time around. It might be due to the different items my group ordered this time, but I was especially impressed by fish filets with mustard greens and the classic dry fried string beans. The shrimp house fried rice was also tasty and reminiscent of the flavor of the house fried rice at my favorite neighborhood restaurant in the Sunset. The shengjianbao, which arrived last, were consistent in flavor from what I remembered. All around, I had a great experience here, and even after we paid the check and lingered a while to sip our last cups of tea, the staff didn't rush us. This place is amazing, and I can't wait to return. read more

Food was good but I did feel it was overhyped. It is very busy inside and we had to wait a little bit before we got seated as there were several parties ahead of us. I recommend anyone who wants go try some local authentic chinese food to go somewhere a bit less popular but if you are wanting to celeberate on a special occasion, this is the place to go. The presentation of the food is lovely as is the decor! Service was ok. It's what you would expect. Pan fried soup dumplings were huge and I don't have a huge appetite so I couldn't finish it. Best to be the only item ordered or share 1 order of it with someone if you're the same and don't want to take leftovers - we were visiting so a bit more difficult to keep leftovers. spicy beef noodle soup was very spicy but delicious if you can handle the heat. read more

Nice and busy restaurant at san francisco China town. It was looking for crab noodle and found this. It was full when we arrived for lunch. It is interesting the moment we get in , there are many I believe empty famous and expensive chinese liquor on display. The interior resemble like you are somewhere in China. The menu was not overwhelming and as we came for the crab noodle, we ordered that along with xiao long bao, crispy garlic fish fillet, wonton in chili oil, tan tan noddle, and pan fry dumpling. The order was ready very quickly and presentation is impression especially for the crab noodle. The food are yummy except the crab noodle. Presentation wise it look great but I think something is missing on the gravy. it was a bit bland. It is still ok , I just wish they add more flavor to it. Tan tan noodle is good. Xia long Bao is juicy. Overall it was a good lunch and experience. Will come back again next time to try other dishes especially the giant pork and crab XLB. read more

Tried a new lunch spot in Chinatown today. The interior decor was nice and the noise level was moderate, but our server was a bit rude when I asked if we'd have to share our four-seater table since it was only us 2. As for the food, it was a bit of a mixed bag; the dumpling sampler was disappointing because they all tasted identical, but the dan dan noodles were super saucy and the General Tso's chicken was a solid mix of sweet and spicy. read more

The food presentation here is unbeatable, absolute works of art and 10/10 for creativity. Unfortunately, the experience was dragged down by service. The restaurant was clearly understaffed, leading to incredibly long and disorganized wait times just to be seated. Not to mention to order and get our food. I think they need to figure out a better system for seating, as we saw empty tables but the servers were busy with other things instead seating guest. When the soup dumplings finally arrived, the taste didn't quite live up to the visual hype. The flavors were perfectly fine, but ultimately average. Come for the Instagram photos, but pack your patience. read more

We walked in on a Saturday night and staff were able to accommodate our group of 7. The restaurant is very ornate and has a fun atmosphere. We ordered shrimp dumplings as well as pork and both were delicious. Other standouts were the house chow mein and honey walnut prawns. All perfectly flavorful, crispy and delicious. We also got the picture perfect crab lomein, which was good, but not one of my favorites compared to the other fabulous dishes. In addition to the flavors, the presentation of the dishes were top notch and fun for sharing. There are a lot of options in china town, but this was a really impressive experience.

Went there late afternoon and our server was cheerful. Being a vegetarian, I ordered a miso soup and vegetable dumplings. As I waited for my order to arrive, the wall next to the table caught my attention - it was beautifully decorated. It is a small place with well distanced tables, so it doesn't feel crowded. They were playing music but it was at an appropriate volume to enable easy conversation. The soup was delicious and the dumplings were good too. There are many vegetarian options to try. So I will come back again for the food, service with a smile and the peaceful ambiance. read more

Fusion Dumpling - Dim Sum Near Me - San Francisco, California

The moment I saw the floating crab meat lo mein, also known as crab roe noodles, on TikTok, I knew I had to try it. So naturally, I did. Upon walking in, the restaurant had such a fun, cool, old-school Chinese vibe. I sat right by the bar, which felt perfect for solo dining or a casual meal for two. When the dish came out, the presentation was definitely Instagram-worthy. The staff were also super considerate and waited for me to get my camera ready before pouring the roe sauce over the noodles. The noodles are kept standing upright with a hidden metal stick underneath, so my waiter kindly waited for me to take my photos and videos before helping remove it. The whole presentation was really fun and made the experience feel special. As for the dish itself, it was surprisingly only $21, and once I finally got to try it, I understood why. Instead of actual crab roe, it seemed to use canned crab meat and flavoring, which gave it a very different taste than what I expected. To me, it tasted a lot like the little jar of crab paste you use to make the Vietnamese dish bún riêu. In fact, the dish almost reminded me of a dry bún riêu, which I honestly didn't mind. Given the lower price point, I wasn't completely disappointed, but I do think it's helpful to know what to expect. If you're looking for that rich, authentic Shanghainese crab roe flavor and quality, this may not quite be it. But if you're going for a fun presentation, a trendy dish, and a unique dining experience, it's still worth trying once. read more

Came here for lunar new year and was pleasantly surprised by the food. While it was my first time coming here, my friends had been here before so we got all the dishes that they enjoyed from the previous trip. Highlights included the crispy garlic Chilean sea bass, mapo tofu, honey walnut prawns, and tea smoked duck Mid-tier were the chicken w/ explosive chili pepper (could have been crispier), spicy wontons w/ chili oil, and shrimp pork chive dumpling. Only thing I was truly disappointed by was the crab meat lomein (thought the noodles were mushy and taste eggy). Get a resy beforehand because the drop in wait time seemed quite long. read more

It was a good experience and the food was alright. The services was a little chaotic. The decore was cool, kind of brought you back a few centuries. We had the Black truffle wagyu XLB and honestly, we didn't taste the truffle and it tasted like the regular XLB. We actually tasted more truffle in the green beans and cauliflower with truffle salt. Their regular XLB was not as juicy as I'm used to. And yher was no dipping sauce. Im sure we could have asked for it but, they seem quite busy. I read the reviews and stayed away from the items that were tourist traps, like the crab lo mien. We did see one person order it and it didn't look like anything special. The Guilin noodle soup was probably my favorite. Soup was seasoned well, and the noodles cooked perfectly. The portion was good, as well. I did like the neat tea service that they provided. read more

We love coming here! The food is so delicious, and the way they plate it is so innovative. The most popular dishes are the pork soup dumplings that come in a tree, the creamy crab lo mein with floating chopsticks, and the large XLB that you drink with a straw. We also got the tea smoked duck and duck wraps, as well as the black sesame bao for dessert. Everything was so flavorful, and it was the perfect amount for four people. My friend is a chef, so I was nervous to impress her! The staff were so friendly and helpful with our order. The place gets very busy so make sure to get on the waiting list. We will definitely come back, especially when we have visitors! read more

This is what our family of 6 ordered. The food was pretty decent as far as taste. The pan fried bao could use a bit of work. The dough was not soft and was cracking on top. The xlb was tasty but not overly seasoned, you can taste the pork broth. The dough to the xlb was perfect, did not fall or break apart. $16 for 6 xlbs is pretty steep especially in Chinatown. I would probably skip the special sautéed duck with pancake, small portion and nothing special. Service was good. Restaurant was half crowded and a good mix of diversity in people.

The crab meat lomein was very salty, and the tan tan noodles tasted a little watered down.

Another restaurant gem to visit when in Chinatown! They are known for soup dumplings and their presentations. I was craving soup dumplings so i decided to give them a try. The waitress was nice and efficient; was helpful in suggesting what food to try as well. We went with chicken chow mein, Pork Xiao Long Bao and pork soup dumplings. Chicken chow mein was very tasty; noodles were thick and cooked well, seasoning was very good too not too salty. A generous protion served as well. 5/5 Pork Xiao Long Bao (3) so delicious, soft and fluffy texture of the bun; the inside had the meat seasoned well and a tad bit spicy. 5/5 Pork Soup dumplings were amazing as well, super tasty, broth was rich and savory as well. 5/5 My mother and I had a great experience overall. read more

The food at Fusion Dumpling was really good! The orange chicken was especially delicious, and overall we enjoyed the meal. Unfortunately, the service left a bad impression. Our server made three separate comments about me ordering two Cokes, including saying she was "glad she wasn't my doctor" because of the sugar. It felt unnecessary and judgmental. I happened to be avoiding alcohol that night, and having a couple of sodas was my choice. It's not something I expect to be commented on while dining out. The staff seemed nice otherwise, but that interaction really took away from the experience. Because of the service, I probably wouldn't return, even though the food was good. read more

Located in the heart of San Francisco's Chinatown, Fusion Dumpling is a Shanghai dumpling house with a menu featuring authentic Chinese cuisine from Szechuan, Shanghai, and Northern China. They are best known for their fan-favorite savory soup dumplings. We were looking for something warm to soothe the soul on a cold winter's day in San Francisco (of which we have many of), and decided to get their shrimp & pork wonton pot, which features home-made pork wontons, shrimp, mushrooms, tofu, and assorted vegetables. Service was quick and efficient - we found ourselves digging into the hot pot in no time. Despite the name "mini hot pot", you do get quite a sizeable amount of food, and this as enough for two of us to share! The pork wontons were the highlight of this dish as the filling was flavorful and the dumplings were perfectly cooked so that the dumpling skin still had a nice chew to it. I'll definitely be back in the future to enjoy some of their other menu items! read more

I had heard about the dumplings here and thought they were the best I've had in a while. I thought it was better than a place that recently opened that was very hyped up. I would definitely come back if I were in the mood for xlb. I was definitely surprised at how large the xlb are here. The filling was moist and tender, the wrapper was an ideal texture, and there was a lot of soup inside. Tea smoked duck - I saw a lot of people get this, so we ordered one. I thought would be like a roast duck texture, but it was like cured meat texture. If you know what to expect then it's not bad. Crab lo mein - unique presentation with standing chopsticks and the server told me to take a video as he poured the sauce on the noodles. My husband liked this dish Crispy fish - lightly battered fish in a pile of crunchy crumbs read more

Overall I found this to be a clean place in Chinatown with interesting presentation and a more modern take on Chinese food. Pork XLB was generous in size and the amount of soup there was - however my party found the filling to be a bit bland. Honey walnut prawns tasted good, and the prawns were huge! The presentation to me seemed a bit gimmicky - I'd rather have 1-2 more prawns on a sensible plate. Shrimp fried rice was great and super filling. Tea smoked duck tasted pretty good but a few pieces were really dry. read more

The flying noodle bit for the crab meat were a little bit of a gimmick, probably for tourists, because they bring it out and let you take pictures. After you are done, they take a scissor to cut the noodles shorter, and take away the metal contraption underneath... Flavors were good for both the lomein and the xlb though. Service was excellent. The blue lighting at the counter/bar was little bit weird. read more

Food: Crab Meat Lomien: (5/5) This was a tasty dish with chewy noodles, very saucey noodles, and a generous portion.. The presentation for this was A tier - including the floating chopsticks and crab meat sauce pour over followed by the removal of the floating chopsticks by the server making it both functional and beautiful. Pan-Fried Pork Soup Bao: (5/5) This has got to be the best sheng jian bao （生煎包）I've ever had in the city! The bottoms were deliciously fried with perfect amount of soup and meat inside. To my surprise, even when taking them home, they were just as crispy and soupy when reheating. The presentation of this dish was also A tier with the buns towered on a beautiful tree. Service: (5/5) The servers were all very friendly and helpful throughout the meal! The were present throughout the restaurant, intuitive, and it was fairly easy to call upon them whenever needed. They gave great recommendations for other dishes we were interested in as well. It was super duper easy to make a reservation on the Yelp app as well which made it so convenient. Ambiance: (5/5) The Chinese decor throughout the restaurant was absolutely STUNNING and feels like you've been taken to another place upon stepping foot inside Fusion Dumpling.

My sister and her friend came out to California. Her friend had never been to California, more specifically San Francisco. Having been there many times since childhood, we were happy to show him around. Chinatown is delightful as ever, busy as ever. We decided to try a place we hadn't tried before. When we walked up, we weren't sure it was open, as no one was at the front. We went inside and random man stopped us and asked us if we were being seated yet. We said no, but were apprehensive as he didn't seem like he worked there. He eventually told us he was joking and we walked past him into a mostly empty dining room. Likely, because it was a Tuesday afternoon. However, it was odd because the streets outside were bustling with people. Anyway, it took us a few more moments for someone to finally acknowledge us and we were shown to a table. My sister went to a bathroom that was downstairs, but right behind our table. A couple came in as we were left to figure out the menus. It took us a moment to realize the layers of fabric on the table were menus. However, we noticed they had a QRC code to the menus, as well. The WiFi inside was extremely slow. We could barely even use our phones inside while trying to figure out where we were going to go next. We were brought warm water in a carafe. It made the tap water they served us taste bad after walking and making our way there. Some cold water would have been appreciated. We were able to ask for some when we finally got a server back at our table. As a small gnat or something was flying around our table, I noticed the cups had a dingy, oily appearance to them, which didn't endear me to the restaurant, but I figured places like this usually have good food, as I've experienced before. I was wrong. After we were brought cold water, we ordered. I ordered a Thai iced tea, which did not taste good. It tasted watered down and I think the ice cubes made it taste a bit funky. We ordered a spread of food that included the house rice, crab puffs (which are crab rangoons), two orders of pork soup dumplings, pork boa, a extra large crab, pork, and shrimp boa, Peking duck pot stickers, and the green tea cheesecake. I wish I could say I fully enjoyed anything. The house rice was good and included chick peas, which I'd never had in fried rice before. The rangoons were typical, but nothing special. The boa were undercooked (still kind of doughy on top). The Peking duck pot stickers were pretty good. The large soup dumpling came out last (didn't catch a pic because I was eating), accompanied by a straw. It was pretty tasty, but to be that large, it should have had more filling. They took the tops off our dumplings which made them cool down quicker than we'd like. Now, anyone who knows me, knows I love cheesecake. I also love green tea/matcha. I ordered the green tea cheesecake, which was brought out after we'd finished and had been sitting there for a while. The lady brought the check over, then asked me if I still wanted the cheesecake and wanted to eat it here. I thought that was an odd question to ask since I'd ordered it. But maybe she was asking for a reason, lol. I don't know if it's just this restaurant, but I've never had green tea cheesecake served with a slice of radish, celery, what I think was cilantro, and a tomato. I was beyond confused, but maybe that's normal in China? We were wondering if it was served that way because it was more savory than usual. I took one bite and the taste was okay, but the texture was way off. It was very dry and crumbly. My sister's friend tried it, too, and he said the same thing. We left it uneaten and I was annoyed I paid $10 for that. As much as I hoped it would be a good experience, not just in general, but for someone visiting the area for the first time, it was not up to par for me. One of the few places I've been that I can definitely say I won't be going back to. It's extremely overpriced, as well, for the quality. Our entire meal was over $100... when I could go to a local place and get the same for less and the quality would be better. At the very least, the decor was nice! read more

Good spot for groups and some dumplings. They have full dishes as well. The pork soup dumplings were my favorite. The soup has really good flavor and the perfect amount of spice. It wasn't busy at all when I came in on a Thursday afternoon. I was the only person in the restaurant and some people started trickling in. The interior of the restaurant is pretty cool. I'm bringing some friends to this spot. read more
