Brochette Dumpling — Restaurant in San Francisco

Came here with reservations at 6:30pm on a Tuesday with 3 other friends. Walked in and realized we probably didn’t need a reservation but safer in the bay to always have a reservation. We ordered a ton of food to try:

cucumber salad: always refreshing & satisfying pigs ears: crunchy and tasty, but the kick of spice may have been too powerful for me numb & spicy beef dry noodle: surpassingly I can handle this more then the pigs ear, but the noodles were bland and the meat was very dry. I wouldn’t order this again. green beans: one of my favorite dishes of the night. So crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Very tasty. crab & pork XLB: solid. Soup was flavorful inside the bao and the meat had great taste too. crispy tofu with pepper salt: I’m a huge fan of the round tofu and the flavor on them were delicious with a hint of spice from peppers. Highly recommend :) braised beef brisket pot: my least favorite. It was too salty for my taste. pan fried pork baos: yum! These had soup inside too, but the bottom layered was too fried where I could taste all the oil absorbed into it. The inside was good though. pork XLB: solid, recommend to order. numb & spicy XLB: can’t really taste the sauce they drizzled on top, which is probably the same for the numb & spicy noodles above. It was still good because the XLB are solid here, but didn’t taste any spice. glutinous rice dumpling with osmanthus & rice wine: very yummy! each glutinous rice dumpling has its own flavor. Yellow was peanut butter, pink was strawberry, and white was black sesame. Really liked this dish too. walnut bao: we were gifted this dish from the kitchen (so nice of them) and it was delicious. There’s a walnut in there and the flavor inside was tasty. Definitely worth trying!

Overall, solid spot. Friendly service....

I don't rave about a restaurant unless it is absolutely delicious!

This is that time. Glad we found this gem in the Park Merced area.

We had the XLB, spicey XLB, spicey won tons in peanut chili oil, won ton soup, fried won tons. Their XLB skin is just right in regards to consistency and the soup hit the umami taste buds just right. My only regret is not getting two orders of each.

The spicey won tons in peanut chili oil wasn't over done and the heat from the chili oil was laid back and just right for my palette today.

I know won ton soup isn't something you usually get, but it's definite comfort food and they make a tasty one.

The Fried won tons were better than most I've ordered and it had the right crunchiness and texture.

We'll be eating here more and will definitely try to taste more of their menu.

Note: Be kind and patient in regards to service ALWAYS! Enjoy your time spending time with your friends or family at the restaurant and the server will be there with a smile and the food will be...

i would give them a 3.5 if i could because it's nothing too life changing but still good and is your typical szechuan food.

the employees are very sweet and kind. i do appreciate them being so friendly and food came out in a timely manner! unfortunately due to the location, it can be really cold and windy and the door just lets in the huge gust but they do provide hot tea so thank you :')

my favorites are the pan fried bao and braised beef noodle soup. perfect combo, which is hot soup and crispyness to the gods. though, they're not so unique in terms of taste, they hit the spot with xiao long bao coming in as the runner up.

the one that gets a no from me is number 45, szechuan chicken as an appetizer. it was served cold which is fine but it's bland with chili oil with very dry white chicken. different strokes for different folks, it doesn't hit the spot so maybe you'll like it?

i'd come back again since i live so close but make sure to bundle up cus its cold inside...
