Reviews for Dumpling Time Express in San Francisco, CA
Except for a few starters, I could not find any vegan options. They basically have no vegan dumplings on the menu. How hard can... it be to have some vegan friendly dumplings? Otherwise, the starters we ordered were fine. Read more
Came for Sunday brunch and got seated immediately. We ordered the Pork Gyoza, Pork Chili Dumplings, Shrimp Toast, and Niku Fried... Rice. Service was quick and friendly. We've been here several times already and keep coming back. Read more
Delicious dumplings that come well packaged and beautifully plated. Shrimp toast wasn?t my favorite but crunchy with great... sauce. The rest of the dumpling traveled well and we?re still warm on arrival. Read more
Seating available inside and out. Friendly and quick service. All of our dishes were yummy and we would order again except for... the niku fried rice was a bit heavy on the soy sauce. Read more
Much shorter wait times than dumpling time and udon is still available here! The Niki udon is pretty good!
Smaller space. No line. Also with udon from udon time days. Essentially same food minus a few items.
I love their niku udon, it?s very flavorful but more on the rich side. The signature udon is a little too plain for me. The... curry udon is good too but could feel a little heavy. Shrimp toast is bomb. The tom yum xiao long bao are my favorite. Theseafood gyozas are bomb. Snap peas are yummy too. Read more
ohY0vei0gu I came here with some friends for the very first time last Sunday 7/21/2022. They've eaten here before, but it was my... very first time at Dumpling Time. I was super excited because I've heard good things about this place. Unfortunately, this maybe my first and last time here. First off, the location stinks. I mean literally, stinks. There is a sewage smell around thewaiting area outside and you can also smell it from the outside seating. I was not able to fully enjoy the food when all I cansmell is the sewer. Aside from that, let's talk about the food. The menu is very limited. They have a few dim sum options, somebuns, shrimp dumplings, xlb (soup dumplings), siu mai, green beans, a beef noodle dish and shrimp puffs. That's the jest of it.(Of course there are a few additional items not mentioned here) There weren't any steamed rice noodle dishes (aka cherng fun),no egg tart, no chicken feet, no black bean baby spare ribs. We ordered the shrimp puffs, garlicky green beans, shrimp toast,pork bao, har gao, xlb, Tom Yum soup xlb, Beijing noodles, and green tea custard buns. I kind of liked the shrimp puffs. Theouter crispy wonton skins were nice and crunchy. The shrimp inside the puff was really salty though. The regular soup dumplingsand the Tom Yum ones kept sticking to the little aluminum trays, which made it difficult to eat. When we tried to remove thedumpling from the tray, the skin of the dumpling kept sticking to the tray and ripped the dumpling open, making the soup leakout. The dumplings also weren't very hot when they came out to us. There were parts of the Tom Yum soup dumpling's skin wasn'tcooked throughly. It had the texture of uncooked store bought pasta noodles. The skin of these soup dumplings were also toothick for my liking. The soup dumplings, both original and Tom Yum flavor lacked flavor. The meat inside wasn't that flavorful.The shrimp toast was decent. The shrimp paste inside was pretty salty. I really enjoyed the aiol Read more
