Sesame pancake with marinated beef – Kingdom of Dumpling

Sesame pancake with marinated beef - Kingdom of Dumpling

Kingdom of Dumpling, San Francisco CA

We weren’t sure what we were gonna get when we ordered this. I kind of imagine that it would the kind of pancake that you get with moo shu pork or something. Instead, these were really thin dry, almost cracker-like, pancakes filled with strip of beef. They were actually really good!

Pork and shrimp wonton soup - Kingdom of Dumpling
Mmm, this soup was delicious and they give plenty of it for less than six bucks! I like the large pieces of bok choy although they were difficult to cut and eat with chopsticks (I’m definitely not a professional). The broth and the filled wontons were very tasty.

Xiao long bao. $4.95
Kingdom of Dumpling, San Francisco CA

These were very good and super cheap! I loved that they used a napa cabbage leaf on the bottom instead of nothing, paper, or worse those gross foil tins! The dumpling wrappers were a good thickness (not too thick) and the soup broth and pork filling were tasty. Noms!
