"When you need a place for a spontaneous meet-up with friends who are randomly in town or third date with someone you met on an app, all roads lead to Dumpling Home. It’s a Hayes Valley spot where you can sit inside or on their parklet and enjoy steamers full of xiao long bao, pan-fried pork buns, and vegetable dumplings. There’s usually a crowd outside, but the line moves quickly—and you can go window-shop for fancy soap and houseplants at the stores nearby while you wait.
