This Richmond spot has arguably the cutest name among the “Dumpling + Noun” restaurants in SF (of which there are many). Unfortunately, the dumplings aren’t where you should actually focus your attention—they’re about on par with what you’d find in a frozen section. This takeout-focused place is still worth a trip for their bigger entrées. We especially like the Shanghai-style noodles, and the green beans stir-fried with jalapeños, garlic, and ridiculously juicy chicken.
