Dumplings En San Francisco Cerca De Mi

S B: Nice variety of options.Recommended dishes Vegetable Pot Sticker, Bao, Pan-Fried Turnip Cake …

Katrina Balga: but service was not great. It was just one guy serving and one guy cooking. It took forever to get my check. My tea came last. Etc. etc. 4 stars because it was genuinely good, just a bit understaffed.I got the pork dumplings

Ken Roberts: I know it’s called Dumpling Specialist but I will be going back for that Shanghai Chow Mien. Oh my gosh…it was so damn good.Potstickers and soup dumplings were good too. They are not afraid to leave their potstickers in the pan. Nice contrast to the fried side vs the steamed side. The garlic vegetables were ok but not great.Definitely will go back.Also:no beer or wine.Parking: There is quite a bit of road construction so that’s made neighborhood parking a challenge. We walked a block or two but nothing too bad.

Fae LeDawson: Excellent food at a quiet neighborhood restaurant! Staff are helpful and there's a good selection of dumplings and other Chinese food.Parking: Parking was worse than I expected for the area, even on a weekday night. Any car larger than a Prius will struggle.Wheelchair accessibility: I don't recall there being any steps or ramps. The front doors are not powered and only one opens.

Banessa Rios: Came here on an overcast Sunday, it was pretty empty but it seems more like a takeout type of spot. Customer service was great, we started off with some hot tea, Thai tea and green beans which were perfectly crunchy and garlicky. We then got the spicy pork dumplings and pan fried pork buns.It was all great, not greasy. Glad I found this new local spot for dim sun 👍🏼Parking: Lots of street parking in front of restaurant, or at Safeway parking lot.

K L: Great restaurant for fresh handmade dumplings. They do lots of takeout business, but the dumplings taste best when they are freshly cooked, especially the soup dumplings, which you have to get at any restaurant specializing in Shanghai-style dumplings. Limited parking, but the Muni bus goes right by here and it is a short walk from the Glen Park BART station.Parking: Very limited street parking.

Tyra Nefrititi: food was good, tea is $2.5 per person… usually tea is free but not here. service was fast. portion is small. hoisin sauce was a bit to salty

madalynn mendoza (maddie): i’d say definitely stop here for food, but make sure they get your order right!!!

Wook Chung: China Live is unique in many ways. You are put in this street market type of atmosphere with touristy, yet quite authentic and modern interior, loud and noisy as ever, while being served pseudo fushion Chinese food. The experience is great overall, especially right by China Town.The food is tasty in most ways. The sea bass was spot on. Some of the buns and dumplings were great. The shrimp / crab spring roll sticks were mindblowing. But also, there were some unnecessary garnishes and overly inventive twists where perfectly good classical food was over spiced or peppered. The presentation was perfect - not too gaudy and adequate to generate a sense of homeliness and small-town street market. Ingrdients are fresh. I would just hope that the chef didn't try too much to pander to tourists. For example, the Peking duck in a pocket is a fabulous idea on paper, but clearly they had pre-made it and it really was cold in the inside. Again, this isn't your classical Chinese restaurant.Service was quite hectic and dismal. Because it was a street market, food would arrive in random order by random people. You had no idea what had arrived or what hadn't, how much you had left, etc. The 8 of us were served in a genuine random way. Even till the very end, we weren't quite sure who our server was. Oh, did I mention our drinks only came out half way through the unstructured meal? Also, they put us on this 6 person table with 2 of us squeezed at the two ends where there was really no place to put your legs.Again, the atmosphere was wonderful and overall, we had a good time. The prices are quite expensive for Chinese food but then, you are paying a premium for the "gentle fusion" experience.Great place to have a date or a business meal. Will certainly return!Vegetarian options: Decent vegetarian selection across each section.Kid-friendliness: This place isn't friendly for kids. Too noisy and street/bar style.

Kevin S.: and it's as good as ever. They make literally zero things I don't like-- it's all so good! My fav are the Tom Yung soup dumplings and any of the Xi'an dumplings, but it's all tasty.Great with a big group, they have a ton of group seating and then you can order EVERYTHING. Drinks are great too

Vicky T: This is my favorite place everytime I visit Chinatown. They always have long line. The dimsum is huge and flavoring, a bit on the salty side, maybe too much msg because I was so thirsty after eating. Price is reasonable, comparing to surrounding market, it’s actually cheap. Their hagao and Chiu Chow dumpling are delicious. The shark fin dumpling is quite salty. You have to come early in the morning to get the parking. Parking in Chinatown is a nightmare.
