Amazing dim sum and BBQ Pork bun a must try even if you have to go out of the way and very reasonably priced

Stopped at Hang Ah for lunch whilst exploring San Francisco’s sprawling Chinatown. Left with a tum fulla dim sum that had generous portions at a so so price. Char Siu baos were like cloud-like heaven

I wasn’t too impressed with Hang Ah. For as long as they’ve been around, I was expecting stellar food with great flavors. The food was average at best, and not different from most other places.

All of the dim sum items are amazing! The pork pot stickers and soup dumplings were excellent!

Dim sum is Ok,there are better. Atmosphere is really old school, kind of nostalgic.

They do accept credit cards, but you'll have better luck paying in cash.

No queue and great dim sum. Very cosy and good for groups and families

It's moderately cheap, got a thick dumpling skin. The spicy bean sauce was different and quite tasty, they do sell them here. If you are looking for good dimsum, this is not the place.

A great, casual spot to get your dim sum grub on in Chinatown. The hill is also a fantastic precursor to carb overload.

Really good vegetarian options. The soups are great.

This is a great example of why one needs to pay attention to a Restaurant score in Foursquare.. Average food, as the average score it has.. can't name one plate that we really liked.

This is my favorite Chinese food place! The Green Bean Prawns are great!

Be prepared to pay for overpriced food in cash. Signage says they accept credit cards, and they will charge your credit card and then tell you to pay in cash.

Potstickers are really flavorful: lots of ginger & garlic. Not your average bland dim sum!
Michael HelmbrechtFebruary 18, 2017
Be sure to get the rabbit dumplings! 🐰

Try the sticky rice and BBQ pork buns!

The sesame balls here are some of the fluffiest in SF!
Nick MuohSeptember 5, 2019
The dumplings are definitely amazing well worth coming, but the chicken pineapple rice was pretty bland. Best not to go close to closing. They are in rush to close and service feels hasty.

Saw a live cockroach. Bland food.
Natasha NoMarch 29, 2016
é uma ótima opção. Fundado em 1920 é o restaurante chinês mais antigo de San Francisco e serve a mais autêntica e barata comida oriental da região.
