We came here to try the bbq fried rice. They are called a dim sum cafe but people who were eating here seemed to be ordering more a la carte/entree type dishes. It looked like your typical restaurant in the area. Nothing fancy but pretty busy. Our bbq fried rice was fresh and tasty. Simple but satisfying and reasonably priced.

Terrible dim sum. Avoid at all costs even if it’s affordable. Shrimp dumpling undercooked and mealy inside, overcooked outside.

One of the best dim sum restaurant I've been to. Dumplings are freshly made and sooo flavorful! Other dishes we also very tasty! Highly recommended!! We had dinner with 8 people (& we eat a LOT), it was less than $30 per person. Great value for quality. They gave us free deserts on the house! We will definitely come back when we visit SF

We were here twice and the first time we came here it was not many customers but the second time we had to wait for a table. The buns, congee and the chicken feet y my favorite. One of my favorite restaurants in SF

The bathroom was absolutely disgusting, it smelled like piss everywhere. And don’t even get me started on the food, tell me why the other reviews siu mai looks really good and well cooked, when ours came out it looked unappetizing and when we bit into it, it was hot but raw. And for the tofu beef, the beef was really slimy and looked raw. And for the tea, why would you put the tea down the moment we came in, and not tell us that we will be charged 1.75 per person for the tea. And tell me why we needed to pay a tip of $15 and our bill was only $88. Overall the experience was awful. Would not recommend if you have a sensitive nose the bathroom smell is so strong and the bathroom doesn’t even have a frickin door!!

Broadway Dim Sum Cafe surprised me in the best way. I was expecting mid, based on some of the reviews, but this place slapped. The pork and veggie buns were fresh and fluffy with that good steamy dough and flavorful filling.
The chow fun was delicious. Chewy, silky noodles with great wok flavor and not oily. But the real star was the braised pig trotters. Fall-apart tender, with the perfect mix of rich fatty bits and soft lean meat, all draped over a bed of cabbage soaking in sauce. I still think about that.
Overall the food hit, service was fast, and it felt like a true neighborhood spot - no frills, just good food flying out of the kitchen. Def coming back.

Food was ok...the restaurant wasn't very clean, flies flying around tables and smelled of cigarettes. This seemed like a place where neighborhood grandpas would come in just to gab rather than to eat.

AMBIENCE: Small, simple, straightforward restaurant. Not fancy or modern, but you can tell this place has been here for a minute. I wouldn't really recommend this place if you're in a wheelchair. FOOD: Good food, couldn't really complain as every dish came out hot. I really liked their siu mai, mix some soy sauce with chili oil & you've a got a good sauce to dip it in. OVERALL: No wait, food steadily came out, & the bill didn't hurt my wallet. I would recommend paying with cash here though.
Xui mai was super good. I got so much food for such a reasonable price. Fed 3 of us for ~$25 and was even good cold as takeout later in the evening.

Sticky rice was 4 stars. Pork bun 3.75 stars, custard bun 3.5 stars, fish fillet 3 stars. Only worth coming back for the sticky rice and even that wasn’t super flavorful

The owner/lady here was very nice and helpful and very kind - me & the coworkers came here to try this spot dim sum was steamed fresh and was genuinely tasty and good the veggies egg roll was fresh and awesome chicken feet texture and flavor was in point and the spareribs black bean sauce rice was very tasty and good as well overall great friendly experience in a small mom and pop shop

Not bad but hakaw is not pure shrimp ? Custard bun looked and tasted different from what I tasted before in other restaurants. Will I try again? Yes because food is affordable, and chow mien from the next table looks yummy ?
