Sit-down is expensive but very good, worth 🏀ing out. Their take-out is good value with super fast service, averaging < 3min from order to food (we timed it)
Rewan PartiNovember 21, 2017Excellent choice of dumplings! Great selection of vegetarian dumplings. Open only till 3pm. Get the pan fried pork dumplings, shrimp steamed dumplings and stuffed mushroom. Don’t take all at once!
Tim DFebruary 3, 2015Very good food, but bring a fat wallet. They bring Dim Sum on numerous carts-don't just take whatever the hand you on the first cart-there will be more. Be patient and get there early.
XLB (soup dumpling), crab claw, basil seafood dumping are all great
Adam FJune 22, 2014Baked BBQ pork buns are off the hook at this quite and tame Yum Cha joint. Bookings are essential and the service is fantastic. Finish off with a custard tart and make sure you have room for it!
Diana ArzApril 2, 2018Always amazing dim sum! I prefer this location, especially when you seat on the patio. Mushroom dumplings, xlb, fried shrimp dim sum. It’s pricey, but quality is amazing 😍.
Alex BosworthJune 16, 2022They can deliver all your dim sum ridiculously fast, so maybe tactically order tea first before any dishes and also order fewer dishes so that you can reorder and they’ll be hot.
- Diana ArzJune 19, 2016Pretty expensive, but very delicious, nice service, interesting choices. Mushroom dumplings and daikon cake are great.
greenie mcgeeSeptember 29, 2013If you want the Goldfish Dumpling, you need to go to Rincon Center. Also, you can order dimsum by the piece. So you can get a half order of Egg Custards.
Jeff SavageDecember 25, 2014Make sure you realllly want the "specialty item." $29 dim sum sized piece of seabass, HA! Really good tho, THE BEST, not knocking it.
- LilyNovember 10, 2019Don’t miss the snow pea dumplings (a sleeper cell). Of course get the pork buns and shrimp shumai.
Good work lunch place right in downtown. Pricey but delicious! Too bad they don't have some of traditional/standard dim sum plates though.
Brian StraussJune 26, 2018Really like the lower key atmosphere at this location. Peking duck and soup dumplings are the standouts, as is the house chili sauce.
Brian IbarraAugust 23, 2017So a bit on the pricey side but all you gotta do is choose what you want when the server comes by and try all sorts of goodness!
板津 魁彦July 4, 2017Great dim sum but too pricy! Xiao long bao, fried shrimp roll, ha gao were all good.
Karl MattsonJanuary 13, 2016Steamed Pork Buns are killer. Shanghai dumplings are the best in SF. As is the duck.Don't be afraid to say no to the pushy dim sum servers
The Corcoran GroupJune 19, 2011Has the best and most elegant Dim Sum available. Do not leave without trying the soup dumplings and the BBQ pork buns. Visit the to-go counter for takeaway service.
Fresh, well made, and tailored to the western palate -- dim sum your (American) grandma will like. If you want cheap and greasy (or the california cuisine influence bothers you), go to Chinatown.- Amazing dim sum worth the price! Cha siu bao, har gow, Dan ta, and xiao long bao are all delicious
Pavan KulkarniDecember 31, 2018Love the dumplings here. All the veggie options are good. Phoenix tail shrimp and mango pudding cake are must try.
Can't beat the lunch combod on the order to go menu. Great price point for the quantity and quality of food!- Miwa Nagamitsu AhlstromJanuary 20, 2019Shanghai kurobuta pork dumplings & coconut cream rolls are my must-have items!
Island BruinApril 21, 2017Best bbq pork buns ever. If possible, go with more than 2 people. Each dim sum item is a lot for 2.
Greg TanSeptember 2, 2019More expensive than the average dim sum place, but better quality. Careful with what you order, prices can be steep for higher-value items (think $12-14). Standard items like siumai/hargau are $6. 🥟
Ben CoffeeJanuary 3, 2015They are not the cheapest dim sum restaurant in town, but they may be the most delicious! Love this place! :-)
Awesome array of vegetarian dumplings. Just order from the menu rather than the carts and they'll bring it straight to your table.
Mark AddisOctober 21, 2011Best Dim Sum I've ever had. But $120 for 3 people to really enjoy a lunch...doubt I'll be back. Just as good places for 1/4 of the price.
Maria EssigFebruary 16, 2013You should try the Xiaolongbao! While tasty soup is flowing in your mouth, you will feel as a little miracle is happening to you!
Jeff WeinsteinJune 17, 2012Soup dumplings, pork bun, green beans with garlic. Too $ but very tasty. Good for a groups and if you want a proper sit down meal for dim sum.
Tomi AjayiDecember 22, 2014The dim sum here rocks. Don't bother with the menu, just pick off the cart as it rolls by. Be prepared for a heavy bill though- Robert ShermanNovember 4, 2013Very good. The soup dumplings and shrimp dumplings are awesome. Just be prepared for the bill.
Achal VarmaAugust 7, 2014Dim Sum galore! They're all great, but try their honey-glazed baked Salmon. So good!
Vol TronNovember 13, 2013Good deem sum but very expensive. Be careful what you choose from the carts! That bass looks good but it'll set you back $36.
Paul LomaxSeptember 1, 2013Very decent dim sum, trolley service. Not cheap though. Love their own-brand chilli sauce.
Erin LGFebruary 17, 2015This place is outrageously expensive. Aside from the soup dumplings, it is not the best dim sun either.
Monica LoOctober 22, 2013The dim sum was tasty and fresh but extremely overpriced. Traditionally, dim sum is supposed to be a fun, cheap and accessible brunch experience.
Susan J CampbellOctober 15, 2018Foil wrapped chicken with rice was my favorite. Chinese broccoli very light.
Tyler BrockJuly 5, 2015Eat at the Yank Sing 2 Go right behind the actual restaurant. Same food, less money.
Amy LSeptember 4, 2011Amazing! Soup dumplings were unbelievable, get the sesame ball and egg custard tart for dessert
Corinne and JonathanAugust 13, 2011We hope you get to try this delicious Dim Sum restaurant. Almost everything on the menu is great!
