Great dim sum. Sit upstairs. Call for reservations. Bring 12 people. Wonderful dumplings, buns, soup, eggplant, shrimp rolls, sticky rice, and noodles. Finish with mango dessert with condensed milk.
Danny SauterMarch 12, 2016The core dim sum (xiao long bao and chia siu bao) will disappoint, but some less well known options pick up the slack. Instead, focus on ha yeung and don tah and you'll be very happy!
Mikey MartiniJanuary 10, 2014Best dim sum I've had. Only downside is praline can be tough (hard to find parking anywhere in sf tho!) sometimes I get lucky and a spot just appears. Food is fresh and the people are nice enough!
Wilson Favre-DelerueDecember 25, 2017FABULOUS baked barbecued pork buns. And all the rest yummy too, in a less loud and bustling room than some of its competitors.
EpicuriousJanuary 22, 2015In a city known for its dim sum, this restaurant is one of the best—with the long lines to prove it. Once you get inside, settle into a booth and point to what you want as the laden carts roll by. Read more
Marlon MolinareMarch 29, 2015Solid dim sum. Pork bump kings and shrimp crepes were good. Don't bother with any entrees
Hao LeAugust 31, 2013For dinner, get the Hakka specialties, liked the famed Ton Kiang Steamed Salt Baked half chicken 東江鹽焗雞, or the Steamed Bacon/ pork belly with dried mustard greens 扣肉.
Chris H.September 11, 2017High quality dim sum. Their bbq pork buns are especially good with a sweet honey glaze on top.
Pacific UnionOctober 25, 2012The dim sum is a little pricier than other nearby options but very good. The dumpling skins are thin and not at all gummy. Try the shrimp and pea tip dumplings and ask for a booth downstairs!
Ugur KanerMay 25, 2019Don’t waste time waiting for Hong Kong lounge or Dragon Beaux, come here, pick a table upstairs, and enjoy delicious, fluffy and tasty dim sum
Iris WillowDecember 29, 2013Baked BBQ pork buns, veggie noodle roll, beef noodle roll, Chinese broccoli, egg custard tart were all yummy. Steamed BBQ pork bun was decent but baked was better. Pass on the Shanghai dumplings.
Jole PSeptember 7, 2014A little higher end dim sum place. Sooo good especially the crispy seafood noodles that you can order
Maya ShanmugamMarch 21, 2017Come here on a weekday during lunchtime to avoid crowds. Best taro cake I've had in SF, and scrumptious har gao
Avery JenkinsFebruary 12, 2013If you're ordering anything other than Dim Sum, go next door to the Golden River for reasonable prices on the same quality of entrees!!
VansiJanuary 16, 2017Short wait, decent service and pretty good food. Definitely better than waiting for Dragon Beaux.
Sherry LiSeptember 6, 2015Best dim sum in the Richmond. Can be hard to get a table on the weekend so definitely come early.
Amanda SchneiderMarch 6, 2016Shrimp and pea shoots dumpling, as well as the crab stuffed with shrimp during dim sum
J MaJuly 5, 2016Strong dim sum in sf. Get the pea shoot and shrimp dumplings, radish cake, and crab claw 👌
julia tApril 4, 2015Turnip cake, any shrimp dumpling - so good. Pork buns a hit with the toddler set.
Sudhir KandulaDecember 29, 2011Will remain one of my go to dim sum places in SF...love their shrimp & chive dumplings!! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more- EpicuriousAugust 25, 2010Don't let the long line daunt you - the dim sum at this cheap hotspot is well worth the wait. Cha siu bau and har gow are chosen off carts, or order a full dinner entree (try the salt-baked chicken).
Ella HaizlipFebruary 16, 2012The wait is heinous, but it's the best dim sum ever. It's worth doing at least once. Pro tip: go during the week.
David ShenMarch 11, 2018I ordered the sweet lotus rice, veg rice wrap, and veg dumplings. Completely tasteless, they didn't bother seasoning the veggies and the lotus rice was literally just plain rice
Neil LeibermanOctober 19, 2015The food is always delicious, but they bring one dish at a time and in a strange order.
C BayugaFebruary 14, 2012My SF Dim Sum Fave. Sit by the kitchen so that all the carts must pass you. And hey, if Chef Obi Wan Waxman likes it.....
Mark T.December 13, 2010Head over to Ton Kiang, and when you are ready to eat, go next door to Golden River. Dim Sum at less than half the price! Just do an Asian headcount at both places and follow their lead..
Keith McKennaApril 9, 2014Some of the best Chinese food in San Francisco. Extremely friendly service too!
Alex HJuly 21, 2012I don't know man...I loves me some Dim Sum but this shit is pricetown compared to most places in the city. It's good n' all but, you know...
Exclusive ResortsSeptember 12, 2011Classic dim sum place. Lines on Sunday in the morning, so come at 11:30 or 1:30 for quicker service.
Kyle MeyerNovember 28, 2013Back up if Hong Kong Lounge is overrun. Some dishes are actually better than HKL.
Krista ThomasFebruary 11, 2012Best potstickers I have ever had. Lots of ginger in the pork - divinely subtle.
Richard SucreSeptember 5, 2010Literally one of the best and most authetic dim sum places insf. Definitely grah the shui mai. Don't be afraid of anything!
Love 1,000-year-old eggs like I do? Simply ask for it :) You can get it although it's not on the menu!

"Architecturally inspiring -amazing views to the Golden Gate Bridge. Rodin's The Thinker frames the entrance, setting the tone for a unique collection. From medieval to modern art, Rodin to porcelain."
