This is a hidden gem. Authentic Asian food, fast and cordial customer service, English friendly, and cheap prices. They have a big menu including entrees as well as dumplings and buns, and options for both vegetarians and meat eaters. We got a whole box of vegetarian dumplings and 6 medium-sized vegetarian buns for $14 total. Filling was generous, buns were steamed upon order, and dumplings were boiled on order so it was all hot and ready to eat. The bun bread could have been a little softer and we would have liked more vinegar and hot sauce for the dumplings (they gave a small container) but we were still happy with the food. This is a great place to grab a snack or full meal for a low price.
This restaurant (also known as Shandong Deluxe) has the best dumplings in all of the Bay Area (in our opinion) and we've tried dumplings in many different cities, like Fremont, Milpitas, Cupertino, San Jose. Especially their Pork Dumplings with Chives: flavorful without being too salty; wrapper is not doughy, thin but doesn't fall apart. We live in the South Bay and buy 100+ every time we're in the city!
