" After hearing about Hu Din Ji from friends, I finally made my way there with high expectations. I was not disappointed! The food was packed with flavors reminiscent of Shanghai. The dumplings were a standout. However, I did experience long wait times and crowded seating, which made it slightly less enjoyable. Still, I'll be going back, hopefully during a quieter time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Hu Din Ji for lunch based on recommendations and was truly pleased. Their steam buns and dumplings are authentic and bursting with delicious fillings. Service was adequate though they seemed busy. Overall, a wonderful experience, and I plan to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" There was so much hype about Hu Din Ji, and most of it is true! The fried dumplings were perfect, crispy on the outside and bursting with flavor. The service was quick and friendly, but the seating space was limited which might be a turn-off for some. However, if you love authentic Shanghainese food, this is a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" 3 stars because while the pan-fried buns were good, I found the other dishes lacking in flavor and authenticity. The wait time was also disappointing. I might return, but I'm not in a hurry to do so. I expected more given the reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" Never thought I'd find real Shanghai-style dumplings in the Bay Area! The sheng jian bao was perfectly cooked and full of soup. It's a little pricey for such a small place, but the food is worth it. Hope to improve on the wait time during busy hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having lived in Shanghai, I must say this place captures the essence of its food! I had the Sheng Jian Bao, which was perfect; crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. However, we had an unfortunate experience with a service mix-up that delayed our order. The staff did apologize, and we ultimately enjoyed the meal, but it would have been better without the hiccups. Overall, definitely worth a visit for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for real Shanghainese food, this is the spot! Their dumplings are succulent and full of flavor. I found the staff to be friendly, though they were a bit busy. I was impressed with the variety on the menu and can’t wait to go back to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
