Hao Bao Dumplings' Stockton Boulevard page calls this branch Little Saigon and describes dumplings folded in its own kitchen, northern-style noodles, and pan-fried buns. It is the daytime dumpling counter in the 6821 Stockton Blvd center, open until 5:30 PM, not a late dinner room.

The menu names Veggie Dumplings as shiitake, wood ear, carrot and cabbage, and the Hao Bao Garden Set is 6 veggie dumplings with a scallion pancake and a milk tea. Signature dumpling lines such as Pork & Cabbage Dumplings did not show a unit price on the listing.

Tasty Dumpling's homepage lists two hour ranges and does not label which branch they belong to. Ten Seconds and Nathan's prices are from picture menus, not a text checkout.
