I've been to a few different asian restaurants where soy or wheat protein chicken/shrimp grace the menu, but this restaurant nails preparation perfectly. Just the right amount of oil to give the sauces kick without coming off greasy. Even the fried dishes weren't too bad.
The portions are also Perfect. You never leave hungry, but rarely leave stuffed which is a big problem at some asian restaurants I've been to--trying to make up for quality with quantity.
As for what I've heard about service, yeah it's not extremely friendly, but they're not unfriendly either. They're not there to be your friend, just serve you good food so you can do your own thing. I personally like not being bombarded with people trying to be extra nice for a bigger tip.
People say "the area is sketchy." Come on. Unless you're not from San Francisco, the area is perfectly fine.
Pros: Dumplings, Entrees, Portions, Price!
Cons: No Liquor, Not Open on Mondays
