Service is excellent. Very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We had the Zentarou box and would order it again. Beautifully presented, delicious and excellent value. We also had the crispy salmon skin salad and tuna bomb. Wonderful selection of sake.

About the restaurant

A NEW TAKE ON TRADITIONAL DUMPLINGS

Nestled in the heart of Chinatown in San Francisco, Fusion Dumpling is a Shanghai Dumpling House with a menu fusing Szechuan, Shanghai, and Northern delicacies.

Our take on a traditional dumpling combines Chongqing-Szechuan Bun style Xiao Long Bao, Shanghai soup dumpling pan-fried buns, and Northern-style dumplings to create a “Flavored in one” dumpling unlike any other.

Chef Du and his team, known best for savory soup dumplings, presents a menu for both the adventure seeker and traditional Chinese food lover alike. From mini hot pots, noodles and rice, and private home cuisines, to classic dishes and of course dumplings – the new menu is exploding with flavor.

Each dish is made to order.
Seating is limited. Peak times can lead to wait times.

Reservations are recommended.

Outstanding Chinese-inspired upscale dishes. Spicy wontons are Fire! If you are looking for some Chinese food but not the normal humdrum then go here. Full bar to make you a nice cocktail and some outside seating to enjoy the fresh air.

This is one of my favorite places to bring friends. The staff and chefs are so warm. The food never fails to fill us up and be delicious from start to finish. They take pride in their presentation and have an awesome selection of non-alcoholic beverages catering to me (4 months pregnant). Everything came out timely and we enjoyed newer dishes as they change the menu to keep things interesting. It always works. Always order with the medium saucy wings and an order of the hamachi spoons. A delight every time!

Great views! Don’t let the neighborhood scare you! Top notch service from the moment we stepped in. Need a lil something in your stomach but not a full meal? Korean fried chicken was to die for! I would just be careful about some of the drinks, lil small. But I would recommend this place without reservations!
