I wanted to cap my trip off to San Francisco with dumplings prior to my flight. I looked at the yelp reviews for places close my hotel and came upon this place. I highly recommend the pork and shrimp dumplings in chili oil. The wrappers kept their integrity and weren't too messy. The flavors were perfection! I also had the chicken and cabbage dumplings. Not as good, but really, chili oil just makes everything better. You can also sit outside by the Yerba Buena park while enjoying your meal.

Beef Brisket and Vegetables
Royce S.

I ordered the Beef Brisket Rice with Vegetables. The Beef Brisket was in a very flavorful broth which the rice, once add, soaked up. The Brisket was delicious, seasoned and very tender. The rice was delicious especially when added to the broth. The spring rolls were delicious

Food

Food was exquisite. It was very hot and sooo yummy. Workers were friendly and everything went pretty well.

Crystal Shrimp Dumplings (4)
Chinmay S.

Very surprised by the low Yelp ratings on this one! We tried this small dumpling and noodles place inside the Metreon Center in SOMA and were pleasantly impressed. We like to mix and match food from different counters because it's set up like a food court. We had the Crystal Shrimp dumplings and the Bbq Pork Buns. Honestly they were better than most places we've tried in the Bay area. The buns in particular were soft, hot, and flavorful - went really well with some spicy chili oil! The service was quick. I'll be back to try more next time we are in the area.

Reasonably good as a quick ad hoc lunch. I took some chicken curry and a few dumplings and it was quickly ready and quickly gone.

I ate here for the very first time yesterday after my dentist appointment. I really liked the Beef Brisket Noodles Soup that I ordered. The brisket was very tender and the noodles were prepared just right. The counter person was very friendly and helpful. I plan to come back here if ever I am in the mood for more Beef Brisket Noodles Soup again while shopping at the nearby Target or visiting the nearby AMC Movie Theater.

Spicy shrimp and pork wontons in chili sauce Iced jasmine green tea
Michele W.

The wontons were fine. Better than usual food court fare but it came at a staggering cost. With a 10% tip, this was a $25 meal that you could get for half the price with better ambiance on Clement, Balboa, or in Daly City. Unfortunately the minimum wage increase which restaurant workers *absolutely deserve* has food court establishments gouging customers.

Wanton soup
Steven S.

I just had lunch here at the Rolling Dumpling in the Metreon Mall and had the wanton soup and it was so good. I unfortunately couldn't eat all of the soup because I was full half way through. I encourage everyone to eat lunch at this place. I give this place 5 stars

pineapple chicken fried rice
Robert C.

Tried out this Thai place inside the metreon, I got the pineapple chicken fried rice. It was ok but was expecting more. The food took a while to come out after ordering, and was in a takeout box which is fine but felt small. It would not be enough to split between 2 people without additional foods imo. Most dishes will go for $15-20 range.

Rolling Thai is not only a great spot for Thai food but it's also the home of Kazka, a drink company specializing in fruit seltzers and coconut slushies. They have an assortment of flavors to choose from at $7 a can. I first tried them last year at Foodieland but when I found out they were based close by at Metreon, I had to get more! I definitely had to get a bunch of drinks to take home and the flavors I got were: - Grape Lychee - Salty Plum - Pineapple Yakult - Guavaberries - Peachy Dragonfruit - Mango Coco - Coconut Bae - Pineapple Coco I really love how refreshing all the drinks are. The seltzers were really light and airy and the fruit flavors were really fresh. I especially like, however, the slushies! My favorite is the mango coco and the pineapple coco which I find to be perfectly balanced between the mango/pineapple sweetness and the more subtle notes of the coconut

Chicken Pad Thai
Dominique D.

The girl at the counter was nice. I liked how they had the ordering kiosk. Super easy to use. She was there to answer questions. I selected the pad Thai with chicken! It was really good and the tables in the area were clean and the vibe was chill. Great place to eat during a day at Yerba Buena Park or if you're catching a movie. Would go back and try something else.

Grape w/ Lychee Jello, Pineapple Yakult w/ Kumquat Jello, Mango Coco
Kathy L.

I was in the area to pick up my Kazka drinks, the seasonal Kazka cake in a can and decided to also order food. The last time I was here they had mini hot pots and learned they no longer offered this menu item and I was a little saddened. I opted to try their other Thai food menu items. I ordered the pineapple fried rice, pad thai and the green curry with rice to bring home. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was really surprised at how tasty everything was. The green curry was amazing--the perfect amount of heat (I asked for medium), it was so flavorful and nice portions of chicken in the curry--I needed more rice to get every bit of the curry. Both the tofu pad thai and pineapple fried rice was also very good. I liked the type of rice that was used...shorter grain and seemed stickier texture. I would definitely return and try their other menu items.

Basil Veggie Fried Rice
Tanusree M.

Ordered from here on DoorDash because we were craving some Tom kha! We ordered the following: 1. Tom kha meat lover 2. Veggie basil fried rice The Tom kha (1) was very tasty! I just wish it came with more broth. I feel as though there wasn't enough broth to toppings ratio. If there was a bit more, it would be perfect. The basil fried rice (2) was so-so, kind of flavorless and oily. And a very small portion. I would order the Tom kha again tho! Maybe if I ate it in-store, it would be better.

Wonton noodle soup, noodle soup with lettuce, pork buns, Thai ice tea.

The weight was not ridiculous and when our food arrived, it was piping hot and perfectly steamy. biting into it for the first time felt like tasting heaven. after the meal, I exited the restaurant a new person. 10/10 life-changing experience.

Haven't been in person yet so I am speaking solely off of takeout options. So after getting their food about 4828732 times I think its pretty long overdue I drop the deets on this little gem. This is our "official" dim sum option for weeknight take out. Personal favorites for me are always going to be the salt/pepper wings, the steamed pork buns, the crystal shrimp dumplings, and the scallion pancakes. My wife loves the soup dumplings, the shu mai. We could eat those dishes every week until we die pretty much, they are reliably good and comforting. Particular shout out on the pork buns though because they are just the absolute best consistency from a filling/bun standpoint. Soft, pillowy, they are glorious. I used to get pork buns from Good Mong Kok Bakery, but tbh, this is about 10x better. The soup dumpling also are quite good, I like the spicy ones but the black truffle is defintely worth it for the occasional splurge. They give you the red vinegar for it too which not all places do. Everything one needs to enjoy. I haven't been in person so I couldn't speak for the service or the location, but if you want a spot that delivers on time and often includes items for free (the pork buns are now free for orders over $50), this is great value and just great food. Chefs kiss.

Shanghai Dumpling King looks completely unassuming from the outside, but inside they are cranking…read moreout some seriously delicious food. The staff were friendly and super prompt about clearing empty plates and refilling our tea whenever we signaled it was done, which is always great as the dishes just get on coming! We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, and several really stood out. The spicy tendon was fantastic, shredded paper thin and swimming in a classic spicy sauce. The spicy lamb dumplings were another highlight, with an incredibly thin wrapper and a super flavorful and not gamey at all lamb filling. I also loved the stir fried rice cakes, which were sliced thin enough to avoid that overly chewy texture, and the stir fried noodles Shanghai style were classic and simple in the best way, with big chunks of cabbage and meat and just executed really (the chefs clearly have some serious wok skills!). Not everything we ordered was an absolute knockout as the vegetable dishes could use a bit more flavor and seasoning, but everything overall was good, and the portions across the board were very generous. The desserts were a last-minute decision and I am so glad we went for them. The lava custard buns were fluffy and amazing, with a molten salted egg custard inside, and the sesame balls had a satisfyingly crispy exterior that gave way to a perfectly chewy interior and sweet red bean filling. The value here is also excellent. We left absolutely stuffed and spent around $30 per person, which felt like a great deal for how much food we got and how much we enjoyed it. Highly recommend!

Flat out, I didn't like my meal. Service was great. The place was nice and clean. But the food…read more . . no. Shanghai soup dumplings were leaden. That's it. Heavy. The combination egg foo young had very little detectable egg and I could find only scraps of shrimp and whatnot. Another big miss. But I'm an outlier and most people like this restaurant.

Walking up to a rather empty Dumpling Time around 7 p.m. on a Thursday evening caused me to remark…read more"last time I went by this place it was packed". What a difference a few years makes. But honestly? I think I preferred the calm casualness of the setting. It was exactly what I sought that evening and I liked, too, the way that each of the dishes ordered were brought out in their own good time. That is: things here don't arrive all at once and I was good with that. Those who "know" dumplings might nitpick about authenticity or price but I thought everything I shared was delicious, authentic enough for me, and even the price seemed reasonable (made even better by their InKind participation). Green beans, pork bao, Shanghai noodles, and chicken wings were shared. Every last bit was fully consumed, and both of us really liked each dish that we tried. To spoil the experience I had to ask which dish was the least favorite and we agreed that it was the noodles, really only for the reason that they were difficult to extract from the bowl and share with two people when the sole serving utensil was chopsticks and a fork. This place, once frequently described as hipster and tech-bro central, seems like it might've been left in the dust as those crowds moved on. All the more reason to enjoy it now, which is exactly what I did.

Go-to spot for a simple, casual catchup meal with friends…read more The Scallion noodles come with egg noodles tossed in a light soy-based sauce, topped with scallions and a friend egg. The sauce base isn't overpowering and pairs well with the XLB and dumplings. Of the Xian style dumplings, the lamb is my favorite. I've tried the pork before, but something about the filling tasted off. The dumplings are wrapped in a thick, egg-based hand kneaded dough that gives them a homemade feel. Steering clear of the pork XLB, the tom yum has an incredibly savory soup base with the eye-catching red wrappers. Couldn't quite taste the coconut broth, but was still equally rich and savory. Would definitely order this and the lamb dumplings again. My biggest hesitation about coming back is the recent price hike (between Feb/Mar and July 2026). Compared to just a few months ago: Lamb dumplings: $12.50 to $15 String beans: $10.50 to $14 Scallion noodles: $10.50 to $14 Tom Yum XLB: $16 to $17 Small increases are understandable, but nearly a 50% jump for noodles and string beans are hard to justify. The food is as expected, but with these prices, it'll be harder to choose Dumpling Time over other nearby options!

It was a literal dark and stormy night so between squalls I geared up and headed down Guerrero…read moretoward 17th Street and swung down to Valencia for another perfect simple dining experience at Bao. I walked into the restaurant about 45 minutes before closing time at 9:30 PM and several other diners came in after I was seated. The unsettled weather made the people hungry for dumplings. Bao is warm and woody and serene on the inside, a great counterpoint to the bustle of Valencia at every hour. Upon entering there is a large window looking on to the kitchen prep area where culinary experts are often at work constructing the food diners later enjoy on their plates. Tonight a couple of wizards were in the process of making chicken potstickers. Even being vegetarian, just seeing how the dumplings and other items are made is like seeing secrets being shared. I love it and it sets the vibe for the restaurant. My order consisted of the steamed vegetarian buns and sautéed string beans. The buns come out beautifully presented and taste even better: the bun itself is just slightly sweet and that sweetness adds an amazing dimension to the chopped fresh vegetables inside. Can't tell you what any of these veggies are individually and I don't care, they are so good. Next came the sautéed string beans and the sear on the beans themselves was perfect and smoky and delicious. The crispness of the sautee makes the string beans a lovely pairing with the soft yummy of the steamed buns. Last came the sesame balls as a sweet meal ending. I love donuts and fresh-made sesame balls are similar to a donut hole just with a filling that is actually food and so sweetly tasty. The outer fry was crisp and the insides absolutely perfect. Three dishes, all fantastic, and I walk home happy and thankful to Bao for a great simple meal!

Quick and tasty spot. Came here to split a siu mai while waiting for my order from another spot…read more The cashier was super friendly and the food came out quickly. Heads up that this is mostly a takeaway spot and they only have 1-2 small tables. The siu mai was fairly big and I liked that the order came with a bunch of sauces- chili oil, soy sauce, and a hot sauce. As a big sauce fan, I appreciated the selection! I'll be back to try most of their selection.

I've only ordered dim sum from here through Too Good to Go (2g2g). Like their Chinatown location,…read moreI find the dim sum to be oily. But overall, it's good. The baked bbq pork buns are sweet with a decent amount of filling. The deep fried dumpling is plump, juicy, and crunchy. The shrimp and chive dumplings are my favorite. It's full of shrimp with a slightly thicker skin, which I think adds a nice chewiness. The veggie egg rolls were okay. I personally wouldn't order those, even if I was craving them. The spare ribs had a really nice savory flavor from the sauce. The egg tarts were okay. I need to note that these bags are leftovers from the day, so they're not as fresh. But they held up the next day so I was able to stretch 2 meals out of them. I can't comment on service since these bags are only for pick up. But they quickly provide the bags once the window open. And it's a small space, with maybe 2 tables. So this place is probably best for to-go orders. Their 2g2g bags have more variety than their Chinatown location. Not sure how many dim sum options there are in the Mission, but I would go here if I was in the area and craving a shrimp and chive dumpling.
