"Since its 2017 debut, Dumpling Time has spawned several locations across the Bay Area but the Design District is where it all began. This is not a traditionalist dim sum spot, rather it’s a place to go if you want to experience shrimp toast made on a Chinese doughnut base or dumplings filled with five-spice lamb or soup dumplings spilling with pork belly and coconut milk. If you’re looking for a pre-game dining option there’s also an outpost at Thrive City outside Chase Center." - Lauren Saria
