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.

The dumplings were fabulous and different. The truffle wagyu beef ones were our favorite. The sticky rice and pork and pan fried pork soup dumplings were also very tasty. The honey walnut shrimp had too much sweet sauce. The crab noodles were good but needed more flavor like garlic as they were a bit bland. The staff and service were perfect. Everyone was very nice and efficient. Thank you!

First time here. Service was good and attentive. Food was tasty. Soup dumplings on point. Pot stickers very good. Congee was good needed a little more flavor so the white pepper they brought was a good balance. Meat skewers a bit chewy/fatty. But will be coming back to try the shabu shabu which looked good.

The food was yummy, and the service was awesome! I needed to change my reservations from two to four, and the gentleman on the phone (I think his name was Jason) was very friendly and assured me that he had changed the reservations. The waitress (Fiona) was very attentive and friendly as well. She knew that it was our first time there, and she took her time to explain the menu and provided recommendations. The food came out amazing, and we enjoyed it thoroughly. We would recommend this restaurant and will totally come back!

We loved Piglet & Co. The staff, both front of house and kitchen, was friendly, outgoing and kind. Get the pickled wood ear mushrooms. NOW. So delicious! Maybe avoid the very tempting noodles in gravy. Charred cauliflower with accompanying herb-a-licious, chimichurri is killer. Did someone say yes to the ribs? Smart of you.
