Sure, Yuanbao Jiaozi is a dumpling spot, but you’ll also want to think about ordering noodle soup here. The shareable house special is a bowl of medium-sized chewy wheat flour noodles and a generous amount of sliced beef in an invigorating chili oil-spiked broth topped with cilantro, green onion, and gai lan.

House Special Beef Noodle Soup

Chinese fish dumplings are few and far between in San Francisco, but are one of the stars of Yuanbao Jiaozi’s menu. Here, they’re handmade, filled with shiitake mushroom and sole, and boiled.

Shiitake & Fish Dumpling

Every dumpling order at Yuanbao Jiaozi can be ordered in soup, which is also worth trying. Get the larger Napa cabbage and pork dumpling, which holds up the best in broth.

Napa Cabbage and Pork Dumpling Soup

Minced shrimp, leek, and egg are the titular delicacies that fill these small, made-to-order dumplings. In a menu that largely consists of a few dumpling choices, you’ll find the most flavor here in these boiled beauties. We tend to eat these the fastest, too.

Shrimp & 3 Delicacies Dumpling

This small appetizer of cold beef slices are about one-quarter-inch thick and go well with any noodle or dumpling soup order—you may even find yourself dunking a few pieces in the broth. The beef comes with a side of zippy vinegar and garlic sauce that’s so good, we’ve admittedly sipped it by itself.

Marinated Beef

Yuanbao Jiaozi makes a cold appetizer with tofu skin, drizzled with chili oil and topped with cilantro and sesame seeds. The small plate is a cool and slightly chewy textural counterpoint to all the soups and dumplings. Order this.
