"Dumpling Specialist is among the restaurants on Taraval Avenue serving jiaozi, or Northern-style Chinese dumplings, in an area SFGATE dubbed “Dumpling Row.” Here, you’ll see father-daughter team Paul and Rebecca Yu as they fold and serve seriously budget-conscious dishes along with the star of the show: dumplings. Don’t skip the pan-fried pork bun, the Shanghai dumplings, or the steamed pork and cabbage dumplings — although if you’re determined and hungry enough, the entire dumpling section is worth a try." - Lauren Saria
