Oh! My! God! - you will say when you will finally finish the last serving of the delicate juicy pork dumplings. The heavenly-thin wonton skin that preserves a spoonful of rich juice and delicate meat inside. Be sure to prepare a simple rice vinegar-soy sauce-pickled ginger mix before you begin. You will find all the ingredients on the table. Bathe your dumpling in the sauce, place it onto a spoon while holding it with sticks, not to spill the precious juice and... taste the heaven. The restaurant is easy to see from the street because of a huge waiting line outside, which as you know, is a good sign. Enjoy!

If I was to go back to SF China Town for a pork bun, this would be the place. It is pretty much almost about seemingly perfect - all the salt is in the meat, the steamed bun is exactly as you expect it to be - white moist bread. I like the setting too - you may be sharing your bun crumbs with the fearless pigeons walking right there on the floor inside the building. Good place, good food.

It seems to be more of a dim sum sit-in restaurant than a Cha Shao Bao shop. Quite crowded. Perhaps they serve good dim sum, dunno, but the buns were a bit dry.
