Best dim sum in SF. Shark fin dumpling and deep fried pork puff are the best items. Low prices. No seating. To go only. Closes early, at 4 pm.
Honestly, this shop is exactly what you would expect from an old, busy, efficient dim sum shop. It's obvious they're used to crowds and overall business. They try their best to shoot out orders as quick as possible and keep people moving in and out of the restaurant. I ordered a bunch of items, including soup dumplings, so those took quite a while.

Dim Sum Bistro is a restaurant that offers delicious and reasonably priced Chinese cuisine. Popular dishes include pan-fried potstickers with pork, pan-fried turnip cake with pork, pork and chive dumplings, bok choy and pork soup dumplings, and pork and shrimp shumai. The food is flavorful and fresh, and some reviewers claim it is among the best they have ever tasted. The restaurant is considered a hidden gem, located a bit off the beaten path, but the food is worth the extra steps to get there. With up to 69 different options on the menu, it provides a variety of choices, and while waiting, diners can enjoy the sounds of the family speaking in their native languages as they prepare the food. The restaurant offers take-out and delivery options, and while the food travels well, some reviewers have noted a long wait time for take-out orders. The Taishan Big Bun, filled with chicken, pork, egg, and Chinese sausage in a sweet white fluffy bun, has received praise as the best in San Francisco's Chinatown. The mango pudding and ham sui gok received mixed reviews, with some enjoying it and others finding it too soft or not sweet enough. Overall, the restaurant offers great value for the quality of food and is considered one of the best deals in town.
