Some of the best soup dumplings I've had in the area. Their other dishes are also pretty good, especially their beef noodle soup. Their Stir-fried vegetable dishes were tender, especially the pea shoots. Service was friendly, and food came out fast. Prices were reasonable. I'd definitely come back.

We have visited this place a few times in the past. My husband loves their dumplings and thinks it’s the best in the area. I go for their fried bitter melon w/garlic and the thick green onion pancake (Yi-lan style). This is the only place I would eat the bitter melon. It has the right balance of crispness, garlic flavor, and a hint of bitterness. Green onion oil chicken is delicious and fresh.

This place is spacious inside. If you come during peak time, there's usually a line. Their food comes quickly, so the wait usually isn't too bad. The XLB is juicy inside and the dumpling size is bigger than Ding Tai Fung's. I'd say the skin is as thin and comparable to Ding Tai Fung's too. We tried all three kinds: the regular pork ones, pork with crab meat, and the shrimp with loofah squash. They're all good. The flavor of the three-cup chicken is good, however, too many bones. They chopped the chicken with bones and there were fragmented bone pieces. You'll need to be careful when eating this dish. Their steamed beef dumplings are good, but a bit on the salty side. The sliced beef and cucumber roll with green onion pancake is so-so. Only has one thin slice of beef and there's not enough meat inside, compared to other restaurants I tried. Their fried rice are tasty. We tried a few before and they're all decent. The picture below is the Sakura Shrimp fried rice and it's very flavorful without being too salty. The steamed sole fish (filet) is surprisingly good. Worth a try if you haven't ordered this before, and no fish bones! Their scrambled eggs with prawns is good. A lot of prawns and tasty eggs. A good protein dish. Their sauteed veggies are pretty good too. We tried the sauteed A-choy and bitter melon with garlic. Both dishes are decent. The boiled tofu with house special sauce is excellent. If you don't want to wait for long line at Ding Tai Fung, this is the place to come. Of course if you want way better (Americanized) service, go to Ding Tai Fung. This service at this place is like typical authentic Chinese restaurants, don't expect too much.

Was craving soup dumplings so we came to this spot. Got A2, Juicy pork dumplings w/ crab meat. E6, Mongolian cumin beef and K8 seafood and pork chow mein. All were great but for sure the favorite was the soup dumplings. Easily could have ordered extra and only this dish if we didn’t want variety.

My wife said this is the best Xiao Long Bao in Bay Area. Tastes close to the on in Taiwan. I ordered the Redbeans pancake every time when I visited Joy dumpling. Vegetarian menu available.
