Whenever I visit San Francisco, I have to stop here. Where I live we don’t really have quality dim sum options, so visiting here is critical :) This place is well priced, quick for service, and delicious. For visitors, unfamiliar with dim sum places, you gotta always bring cash. It’s cash only. I’ll definitely return soon

We enjoyed the dim sum takeout items overall, but the best was the hargow and siu mai. The turnip cakes were also good. They only had plain rice noodles available at the time. It was a little thicker than we are used to. They did not provide the usual sauce for the rice noodle. And they also do not have hot sauce. Wish they had seating for customers. It was a bit of a long wait because there was only one staff but eventually a second one came along to help because a line was forming. Service was perfunctory.

Very rude when you ask for prices! Chicken bun tasted nasty like old chicken that had freezer burn .$3.00 are you kidding me? Terrible customer service and attitude was super terrible! Don’t go here. Inferior food and very low class!!

Great dim sum at reasonable prices. Like shrimp, scallop and chive dumplings. Pretty good English and friendly. Usually only one person running counter. Can get pretty busy. Sometimes cook to order. Fresh &

Our favorite takeout dim sum spot with a curated selection of the classics! Their shrimp dumplings (har gow) are THE best on Clement Street - thin translucent skin with abundant, real shrimp filling (not the pasty fillers that others use)! We like to get all the steamed items here (har gow, shumai, scallop and cilantro crystal skin dumplings, etc) and also the fried sesame balls and xian shui jiao (ham sui gok). Then if lines aren’t too long, we’ll round out the takeout feast with coconut sweet rice balls from Good Luck Dim Sum across the street, fried shrimp dumplings, luobosi bing (flaky radish cake), and steamed bbq bun from Xiao Long Bao a few doors down. The best of the best on Clement Street!

Good prices. Soft and plump shrimp and chive dumplings, bbq pork buns and soft and not too salty, pork dumplings wrapped in wonton skins are huge.

Great thin skin on the har gow. They have a sign up that says cash only. PS in response to the comment about shark fin — you’re not getting shark fin for $3.50 for 3 dumplings, the name is now in reference to the shape

This is a standard dim sum take-out only restaurant. There weren't any fried donut rolls to go with the porridge so I decided to get dim sum only. I don't get how some dim sum restaurants offer porridge but not the fried donuts. Soy sauce chow mein could go well with porridge but, that was sold out. The redeeming quality is the size and taste of their pork dim sum, shrimp dim sum and turnip cake. The line might get long as there is only one person working.
