Pretty good dim sum at an affordable price. The pan-fried steamed gyoza with chives and prawns and the egg tarts are sooo good!

Really great dim sum, lots of options to choose from. Try the specials, I had a delicious white soup with seafood.

Great service and very reasonable (especially for SoMa). Try the fried pork chops... They'll melt in your mouth.

There's not a ton of Chinese restaurants in this area, so it meets your needs if you're looking for a place with decent variety and pretty good flavors but aren't looking for someplace too fancy.

Fast service, plenty of seating, and a fairly authentic dim sum experience make this a strong SOMA food option.

the atmosphere will not convince you to want to return here over and over again but the dim sum is really good and the kung pao shrimp is tasty.

Nice spot for dim sum and the second floor is suitable for wedding ceremonies

Anything with shrimp. The shrimp cilantro dumplings are so fresh.

Great dim sum without the drama. Parking getting tougher now that its become so popular. Easily half the price of Yank Sing. Must: xiu long bao, siu mie, sticky rice, fried taro dumpling.

Pretty decent dim sum for the price given the location. Not crowded during weekday lunchtime.

Sometimes it takes a bit to wave someone down but the food is delicious and reasonably priced.

Make sure to ask for the dim sum menu! They might not give it to you!

The best Dim Sum place in SF that I've been to.

Tasty dim sum without extensive waits that seem to be the norm.

Walnut prawns only 7.95 on the dim sum menu! $15 on the regular menu.

Salt-and-pepper shrimp with the shell on

Do yourself a favor and order some pork buns.

Disappointed. Food was so-so. Soup was sad. Mustard greens were way overcooked. Both my sister and I got stomach problems afterwards. Cooking is definitely catered to the non-Asian palette.

Good food and great service!

One of the best dim sum places in SF. Great selection, reasonable prices.

Sticky rice and shrimp crepes

get there early if you want the egg tarts!

Nice food with reasonable price
Vinh LeMay 5, 2010
I wouldn't suggest take out here; They are very skimp and cheap on the meat. You'll get a big take out box, but it's all steamed rice.

Not the best dim sum. But cheap and filling.

After being put off a bit by the decor, it turned out the food was really good and not way over-priced

Don't cater. Pick up was for 2pm but it's 2:45pm & they're still not ready.
Christopher ChanNovember 24, 2013
Very slow service during Sunday lunch time but plenty of tables.

Don't eat here! My coworker got take out and there was a dead cockcroach smushed on an egg roll in her lunch.
