Dumpling Time presents Asian dishes reimagined with local, California ingredients in a playful, fine-casual atmosphere. Since Dumpling Time’s inception in 2017, co-founder Kash Feng has led the thoughtful expansion of the beloved concept, a part of the Omakase Restaurant Group, that now counts five locations in California’s Bay Area, with more to come.
The selection of mouth-water dumplings are designed to be filling-forward and handmade with an emphasis on flavor, high quality ingredients and freshness. Signature offerings include crispy gyoza filled with seafood, pork or chicken, pan-seared bao filled with chicken or pork, Xi’an boiled dumplings, and xiao long bao (XLB) soup dumpllings. In addition to handmade dumplings, the menu highlights vegetable dishes such as sautéed and gingered snap peas, garlicky green beans, shrimp toast, and hand-cut noodles. All Dumpling Time locations offer an array of beer, California wines and sake, while some of the locations offer full bar service.
Designed by Aya Yanagisawa, Dumpling Time’s locations are united in their casual atmosphere envisioned in a bold, playful palette. Pops of neon, leafy plants and street art-inspired murals give Dumpling Time a vibrant, urban feel that pays homage to Asia’s night markets and street vendor culture.
Fresh food. Well prepared, good portions and friendly service.
Great selection and creative combinations.
Their staple choices are solid.
Very fast service and one of the best dumplings place in SF. Have been coming to this place since 2018 and the food has just been the same.
Came here for a Sunday lunch and overall was impressed! The outdoor seating is nice and spacious, with enough walling to block the wind, and space heaters to keep the area warm. The food was all delicious, we got the Garlicky Green Beans, BBQ Pork Bao, Shrimp & Pork Siu Mai, XLB, and Sesame Balls. To me the BBQ Pork Bao and the Sesame Balls were the highlights, both delicious!
The service was great, and the restaurant is very cute. Definitely a solid choice if you're in the design district and craving some dim sum!
