Dumpling Story

Dumpling Home is an SF treasure (their shengjianbao are legendary). So great news for you: the Chinese restaurant in Hayes Valley now has a sister restaurant. Dumpling Story on Fillmore is just as fabulous, and you won’t have to spend 40 minutes waiting on the sidewalk for perfect xiao long bao, garlic-heavy cucumber salad, and dry-fried wings that make all other wings look like underachievers. The menu is nearly identical and the space is much more chic. Get ready to feel sophisticated surrounded by the white walls, amorphous mirrors, and arched windows that make this look like a fancy boutique. It fits right in with the high-spend energy and designer dogs in Pacific Heights.
