Amazing! Highly highly recommend you come here. Everything was vegan - loved everything we got: siu mai, xiao long bao, beef rice noodles, and porc bun (not pictured but was my favorite). We will be back!
Great food, great service, some of the best vegan food in SF for sure.

We love the variety of options for vegan dim sum, we ordered 9 dishes. The only dish I did not enjoy was the bao, it is slimey inside, I'll stick to Loving Hut for that dish. I wish the eggless tarts and baked bbq were available, we'd have ordered those too. Only took off a star for service because it took awhile to get our bill and a lot of smoke was coming into the restaurant, we were in the farthest corner away from door but the smoke was still very strong.

Sassy Foods is a vegan dim sum restaurant located inside Imperial Garden, sharing the same space. The food is amazing, authentic, and incredibly flavorful, considered some of the best vegan food in San Francisco. The dedicated vegan menu offers a rare treat, with must-try items including the potstickers, described as the best ever, and the vegan xiao long bao, which are super juicy, scaldingly hot, and wildly meaty. The vegan BBQ "pork" buns are delicious and not too sweet, and the vegan siu mai are very moist, rich in flavor, and absolutely delicious. Other recommended dishes are the har gao, the Mixed Mush Chick'n Pan Fried Rice Noodle, the wood ear mushroom & cucumber salad with its flavorful dressing, and the vegan pan-fried chive dumplings. The mini sesame balls are delicious, though some wish they were softer. Portion sizes for plated dishes are very large, offering good value.
Service is friendly, kind, and attentive, though it can sometimes be a bit slow. The restaurant is very clean and well-organized. For the best experience, it is advised to come early to find parking in their limited lot and to ask for the vegan menu. Be aware that tea costs extra, with a higher charge for premium flavors, so it is best to ask. While pickup wait times can occasionally be longer than estimated, the solid food quality makes the restaurant highly recommended. The best approach is to go with a group and share the myriad delicious dishes.
