Friendly service, generous portions and super yummy! We been here many times over the years and they never fail to deliver a great meal.
SDK is absolutely incredible. Especially the shrimp dumplings, pork dumplings, soup dumplings, sweet and sour prawns, pea shoots, bamboo, green beans, and eggplant. I tend to skip the tofu dishes. Sam is such a wonderful person and treats everyone so well. He always remembers us and friends we bring in.
Amazing food, soup dumplings are much bigger than any restaurant I've been to. The crab and pork have such a tender and sweet flavor to them, and not to mention the chewy and soft dumpling skin! Same for the original soup dumpling, such seasoned meat, super savory and delicious skin. The star of the show though, was the custard egg yolk bun. The custard was so sweet and salty, you can tell there was actual egg yolk!! Over all, amazing, and the service was what you would expect at a Chinese restaurant, fast. Super humble place and great atmosphere, lots of the customer would praise the food!
You know when you eat a meal and know as soon as you take the first bite you're going to be thinking about it for a long time? That's this place. Owners are so nice and recognize their regulars. Some of the best food I've had in San Francisco in recent memory.
My partner introduced me to this place and I LOVE IT. It's fairly priced and has delicious food. The food is authentic and you can tell everything is made in house. We typically order the pork soup dumplings and the chow mein. 10/10 would recommend for large groups or family style eating.
I have NEVER had a bad experience here in all of the years they have been open. Every dish, every customer service experience, all of it...THE BEST. I am so glad they are in my neighborhood.
Power outage in my house the whole day put me in a bad mood so I stopped by for some comfort food. Me and my belly are HAPPY now pot stickers and general tsos chicken were absolutely fire!!!
Was visiting the area and wanted some dumplings but no car, so I ordered for delivery . They traveled well and were very tasty would definitely get them again
