Great place to eat in Hayes Valley. Coming at 7:46 on a Friday is a good time, as putting your name down on the waitlist only yielded a 30 minute wait (you can grab drinks somewhere else while waiting).
For drinks, only beer and wine, so got a Prosecco.
For food, best thing on there was the juicy pork bao (first picture). Would get that again many times over.
Second best was the XLB with crab and pork. Usually I don’t like XLB, but this is definitely an exception.
The pork dumpling sesame sauce chili oil was pretty good (had a peanut taste). Also got kelp (seaweed) salad. I was indifferent (would get it again for vegetable).
The least favorite dish was the noodle with braised beef. It had a weird broth flavor. Would get something else.
Overall definitely coming back.
