Dumpling Time in the San Francisco Bay Area makes amazing dumplings. Here are some of my favorites.

The gyoza are excellent. They come in one big piece, and you tear off individual dumplings.

Get some noodles on the side. The noodle bowls are amazing, too.

Steamed bao buns from Dumpling Time are a lighter option. I eat them on the lawn at the San Ramon location

The traditional lamb dumplings are great, but spicy
