We went to Zentarou to celebrate my husband’s birthday with the family. We ordered an appetizer, soup, the omakase, a couple rolls and a salad. Everything was delicious and fresh. Our 8 year old even tried raw fish for the first time and enjoyed it! Service was great as well. The sake menu is pretty extensive which included cocktails made with sake. We can’t wait to go back and try more from the menu.

Chinatown

About the restaurant

A NEW TAKE ON TRADITIONAL DUMPLINGS

Nestled in the heart of Chinatown in San Francisco, Fusion Dumpling is a Shanghai Dumpling House with a menu fusing Szechuan, Shanghai, and Northern delicacies.

Our take on a traditional dumpling combines Chongqing-Szechuan Bun style Xiao Long Bao, Shanghai soup dumpling pan-fried buns, and Northern-style dumplings to create a “Flavored in one” dumpling unlike any other.

Chef Du and his team, known best for savory soup dumplings, presents a menu for both the adventure seeker and traditional Chinese food lover alike. From mini hot pots, noodles and rice, and private home cuisines, to classic dishes and of course dumplings – the new menu is exploding with flavor.

Each dish is made to order.
Seating is limited. Peak times can lead to wait times.

Reservations are recommended.

We had a party of 8 with the round table and shared various appetizers and then we kept on spinning the lazy susan to share our main courses as well. One plate outdoing the next! Get the Peking Duck Pot Sticker to start! The Hot Pot is HOT! Fun start to our evening in Chinatown!

We LOVED the scallion pancake wraps and wagyu skewers. I would skip the dim sum in the future. The food took a while to come out, but I noticed that the table next to us got hotpot and their food was fast. So if you are in a hurry, get the hotpot.

Kayah is a great concept by Burma Love. We went on a Sunday afternoon when it was not busy. The service was great and the food was excellent. Highly recommend
