The beef noodle soup is the best. Don't forget pork dumplings and soup dumplings. Here's a pro tip: get the beef pancake too. They also sell dumplings frozen which are the best in the city.

JennyMay 22, 2013My new favorite place in the sunset! Authentic Chinese food, delicious dumplings and noodles--I'm partial to the beef tendon and spicy beef (one of the specials on the wall, not on the menu).Upvote4Downvote
NatalieApril 29, 2017What to get?! So many options! The spicy beef noodles are delicious but SPICY and can be shared with more than 2 people. The soup dumplings are a must have.

Mike WinstonJanuary 8, 2015The hand-pulled noodle soup and wontons were truly outstanding, but I'd pass on the soup dumplings in favor of the steamed dumplings next time. Read all about my visit on WinstonWanders below!! Read more

Cheap food. Get Hand pulled noodles of some kind and some of the best onion pancake you can find in the city.Upvote2Downvote
The most legit Chinese food I've had in SF and East Bay. Must try! Xiao long bao is very legit. Their soup noodle was also very legit. Salted pepper tofu was great too!Upvote1Downvote
Bobbie McLellanFebruary 19, 2017Wonton noodles. Broth and handmade noodles were excellent. Wonton were not real wontons. Closer to normal dumplings.

Tobias SchmidtFebruary 12, 2018Great wonton noodle soup (make sure you get it with the hand-pulled noodles) and equally good dumplingsUpvoteDownvote- Bobbie McLellanFebruary 19, 2017Spicy tendon was excellent. Thinly sliced flavorful and good amount of heat.

I love the soup dumplings here, they're smaller to fit in the soup spoons without risking spills. The hand-pulled noodles are scrumptious, but aren't in every noodle dish, so check before ordering!UpvoteDownvote
A lamb soup with hand-pulled noodles and a few orders of soup dumplings are strictly required orders, but everything else is good too.UpvoteDownvote
Linda YangJanuary 27, 2019Dumplings 🥟 and noodles 🍜 are authentic. I like the cold apps
UpvoteDownvote- J JohnMarch 6, 2018Soup dumplings are a must try. Beef stew is good, spicy beef noodle soup is excellent. Good service.UpvoteDownvote
- Bobbie McLellanFebruary 19, 2017Potstickers were very juicy but needed the in house chili sauce for extra flavor punch.

Lucy WebbOctober 9, 2015I recommend getting the lamb noodle soup, they hand pull the fresh noodles. The green beans are amazing tooUpvoteDownvote
lemonjelly luukkanenJanuary 28, 2013I've only eaten here twice but both times I've wished I had a sharp knife or culinary scissors when serving the noodles. They tangle up easily. And DO get the handmade noodles.Upvote1Downvote
- Jenn KeatingFebruary 3, 2014Incredible dumplings!! Try them all! I really like the Shanghai dumplings (soup dumplings)!!UpvoteDownvote
The dumplings are pretty awesome. Spicy tendon is not super spicy but tasty if you're into that!UpvoteDownvote- Get something with the incredible hand-pulled noodles and at least one order of the soup dumplings.UpvoteDownvote
Jocelyn KinseyNovember 3, 2014Portions were big. Dumplings were really good. Clean and not oily like lots of Chinese food.

Shannon ClarkApril 22, 2011Handpulled noodles hard to eat but so worth it. Veggie options exist but be sure to ask. Everything made to order slow but worth itUpvoteDownvote
