Worth the ridiculously long wait! Baked pork buns (to die for), steamed pork buns, Coffee pork ribs, Steamed clams in black bean sauce, Beef noodle roll and egg custard tart. Best dim sum in sf!

The $70 dinner special for four is a great deal. You get four entrees to choose from a list as well as the soup of the day and a choice of lobster "or" Peking Duck with 12 stemed "clamshell" buns.

This is an excellent restaurant for dim sum cravings. Some of the staff team members were friendly and attentive. Service and food quality were also very good. I also liked that the food is fresh.

Get there before 11:30 on weekends to save yourself some time. The shu mai and sweet and sour pork aren't great, but pretty much everything else is!

My holy grail dimsum place in the US! Baked pork buns are a must. Then get any dimsum dish with shrimp, which are chunky & juicy. Not the cheapest, but oh-so-worth-it🙌

Steamed black sesame balls! I haven't seen them like this anywhere else: gritty sweet black sesame paste inside mochi dusted with something (ground nuts?) and served warm. AMAZING.

A little pricy for dim sum but portion size makes up for it. Recommend: turnip cake, salt and pepper chicken wings, scallop fried rice w egg whites and Chinese broccoli (off menu).

Dim Sum was good- have to agree with the rest- baked pork buns were sweet and addictive.
Richard DonaldsonOctober 17, 2010
Everything is great - hot from Kitchen as you order via the worksheets instead of roaming carts - while it is busy, it is worth it - big fan of the staples: Har Gow, Sui Mai, Steamed pork ribs, Turnip

SF Weekly’s Best Of 2012 Winner – Editorial Pick – Best Dim Sum. As much as this city loves its lines, there are few waits in San Francisco worth it. Mama’s: worth it. Flour + Water: worth it. Hong.. Read more

Good measure of portion is 2-3 dishes per person. Tomago tofu is excellent!
Josie AzzamSeptember 22, 2012
Order slowly, it's easy to order more but impossible to unorder something. We got WAY too much. The Peking Duck (not on the menu, have to ask for it) is enough for six people alone.

Best dim sum in the city. The wait is so worth it. Don't miss the baked chashu bao!!

If you come here for dim sum, come during the week. The dishes are fresh & hot from the kitchen and they have some of the best daan taat this side of the Tai Cheong Bakery. Translation: Hot & good!

The bbq pork buns meet the hype-- but their siu mai and beef offals are good as well. Gets super crowded on weekends.

Always a lengthy wait even on weekdays. If you can get a seat in a short amount of time though, try the Fish Rice Rolls!
Nicole RocchioSeptember 3, 2019
The green beans, eggplant, and pork bun dishes were 😍 the dim sum was good but not the best I’ve had
Barry JennerApril 4, 2017
Went for pot luck with the selection of dim sum and it was all great especially the BBQ buns.
Liz LinMarch 16, 2013
Try the baked pork buns! Like no other pork bun I've ever had!
Long Duk DongSeptember 22, 2014
One of my favorite spots for fresh dimsum. Also if you're lucky you'll see a celeb from China.
Lillian YoungSeptember 27, 2014
Tasty and authentic Hong Kong dim sum. Nothing fancy, just great and traditional.
Catarina LaiJanuary 15, 2012
it is not uncommon u may have to wait for half an hour to be seated for dim sum on weekends. they have another location on Geary (between Beaumont Ave & Parker Ave) for dinner
Alan SandersAugust 19, 2014
Best shrimp dumplings in the city. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
Ray YJuly 13, 2015
My parents visiting from NYC Area were very impressed with the Chinese food here!
Jeff WeinsteinSeptember 29, 2013
Steamed fish, potstickers, eggplant, chicken wings, calamari, mushroom tofu, string beans.
Jenny JOctober 28, 2018
I love everything here, but the soup dumplings are not soupy!
Runqiu CaiJanuary 26, 2015
Dim sum is great. Get the coffee rubbed pork ribs
Amanda MorelandSeptember 12, 2015
The dumplings (of all varieties) are amazing.

Great dim sum! Try an order of the coffee ribs.

Great fried taro dim sum. No carts, so food is actually fresh.

For dinner, order one of the set menus. Better value than a la carte.
Rachel CJuly 28, 2012
Best Chinese food I've ever had! Fresh ingredients, flavorful dishes. Can't wait to go back!
Dave ZissouFebruary 8, 2012
bun is thinner here, which obviously equals for a more juicy pork experience! (thats what she said, hey oh) nom nom
Kim MacMarch 9, 2012
If you're looking forward to the honey on the baked cha siu baos, this is not the place to get them.

The baked pork buns are bomb! The outside has the just-right texture, and the inside has great flavor.
James WelchJanuary 9, 2013
Fantastic dim sum - worth waiting a little for.

Tofu with mushroom very good, shrimp egg ok, salt pepper ribs good, brown chicken clay pot ok, shrimp yee mein not that good
Hatice U.February 25, 2013
Pekin duck is ok and noodle w/ crab is good. However it's better to be careful about closing time.
