Dumpling Empire

Sunday late afternoon, end of spring break & Andrew's headed back to UCD. Since I worked the whole weekend, I didn't feel like cooking so we decided to go out & Andrew found this cute little "hole-in-the-wall" restaurant in South San Francisco to try. Even though the menu was small & limited, everything we ordered was GOOD! There was also plenty of action while we were there...lot's of take-out orders & people coming & going.

216 Cypress Ave.

Spicy Beef Tendon
(Thinly sliced, spicy & very aromatic...I loved it!)

Five Spiced Marinated Beef
(This is served cold & also very good)

Garlic String Beans
(Loved it!)

Shrimp Dumplings with Green Chives
(Freshly made...we watched them make it at the next table!)

Shanghai Soup Dumpling
(This tasted just like the ones we ate when we were in Shanghai!)

Ma Po Tofu Noodle
(The noodles are also house-made & it was GOOD!)

We were so stuffed we couldn't finish everything...good for me because I have Ma Po Tofu noodles for my lunch tomorrow!
We decided Dumpling Empire is now our new hang-out...the prices are good & you get plenty to eat.

Hope to see you there!

Yours truly, Karen
