San Francisco, CA
Harry currently ranks 10 dumplings spots in San Francisco, scoring 76–88 on the Harry Score. 2 carry critic or guide backing. Prices run $ to $$.
Dumplings are judged on the wrapper — thin enough to read through, strong enough to hold the soup in. Harry counts the pleats, checks whether the filling was seasoned as a filling or as an afterthought, and treats a burst xiao long bao as the small tragedy it is.
Ranked by the Harry Score — a weighted blend of Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic mentions. No paid placements. No affiliate links.
