Dim Sum Restaurants near South San Francisco, CA

“Eats lot of good food and come out fast“

“We ordered a few dishes. My favorite is the hot and sour soup, sour, spicy, flavorful, lots of tofu, shiitake mushrooms, golden needle. Beef noodle soup seems to have mala spice, not my typical beef noodle soup, didn’t enjoy it much, though I liked the hand pull noodle texture! Soup dumplings skin a bit thick and pork was not as tasty. No shredded ginger which I thought it’s a must for soup dumplings?“

“Great place to eat dim sum“

“點心新鮮熱辣👍👍👍 小菜價錢大衆化👍👍出品普遍色、香、味齊😋😋😋“

“We’ve been heading over to The Night Market for the past few years! The classics are all good, Hainan Chicken, Beef Chow Fun, minced Beef over rice. But if you want to try something unique to The Night Market try the Longan Crispy Pork over rice. I can’t imagine a dish that so uniquely represents the Asian American experience. Finish it off with a mango Sago!“

“hk lounge bistro is hands down my favorite hk style cantonese restaurant. you can't beat the freshness and flavors of the food, and the service is superb. everyone is so nice and i love seeing the same team each time we dine here. it's a sf treasure!“

“Baked BBQ Pork Bun was the best that I've had. Dim sum was a lot more expensive than the last time I visited. I thought that it was cheap that time, this time it was not expensive, but definitely not as reasonable. Food was still pretty good, but just not as good as several other favorite places around the country. Cash only!“

“Assorted bao was fabulous. Please open a location in Minneola!!!“

“The taste is very good, I will go there again next time.“

“Best first time experience ever!!! Had a group of 5 and we called in advance and they were so accommodating. Food was delicious and service was fast. We met the owner/chef and he was so kind to us. Highly recommend and we will definitely be coming back!“

“The dim sum at this place was good overall, but not great. Our favorite item was the shrimp dumpling. We also liked the secret garden atmosphere of the restaurant. We walked past the restaurant twice and thought maybe it had moved. Even when we found the door, we thought the space had been abandoned. To our surprise, when we walked through the door, we were greeted by an expansive interior. From the street, you would never know there was such a large restaurant inside. The service was helpful and efficient.“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“The food was flavourful and the texture was just right. We ordered the Peking duck and soy chicken. Our kids loved the chicken with a side of steamed rice. The chef enjoys strong flavours and skillfully cut the chicken like butter in front of our table. The atmosphere is casual with an Asian-fusion trendy vibe.“

“We always know DELICIOUS dim sum will have FRESH made dim sum. We take it to go. My favorite is the shrimp dumpling but we love everything. It's probably easier and quicker if you know what you want. I take screenshots😊 ENJOY!!!“

“Came to see Motley Crue concert and stopped for lunch to spend time with my Wife. The dim sum and shumau were very delicate and wonderfully prepared. Every bite of our meal was delicious and perfectly prepared.“

“We love their bake bbq pork buns. They are on the smaller side but the filler was good with plenty of pork, not so much fat and just the right flavor. Not excessively salty or sweet. The bun is thin and not doughy. The bun and the filling balances well with each other. I’ve tried their other items too and they are also pretty good.“

“Try it all. Everything was delicious and very affordable 😋 I sampled 7 different kinds of dim sum, a BBQ bun and the egg tarts for $18. I was a little overwhelmed when I first looked at the extensive menu, but the lovely lady at the counter was very patient with me😊. She gathered my goodies into little clam boxes as I called out the numbers of the tasty looking dishes and pointed at the beautiful buns. I'm kicking myself that I didn't get more.“

“We had dinner at this quaint Dim Sum restaurant last night. Proprietors are a young Chinese couple, their dim sum dishes rivals some of the fancier larger Chinese restaurants. And at a much more reasonable price. We highly recommend Dim Sum Best of Taste to anyone interested in a good hearty dim sum (small plates) meal. And we would definitely come again next time we're in Alameda.“

“I just back from Taiwan and was craving red braised beef noodle soup. This was better than most of the ones I had in Taiwan! Flavorful broth, chewy noodles, and tender meat. Highly recommend. I’ve already ordered it for delivery a few times and recommended it to a few friends.“

“The food is very good and worth tasting“

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“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.“

“Great dumpling restaurant, reminded me of going to dim sum, but with larger portions! They had a large selection marked with a green dot for Vegan. 💚

Absolutely loved the bean curd salad, the garlic noodles, the veggie bun, and the red bean pancake!

Super duper nice staff, took really good care of us!“

“A relax old school dim sum place to enjoy sumptuous good dim sum. A favourite place for the senior regular. They even helped themself to refill the tea. A friendly place if u are familiar with old sch dim sum culture.
Food was big in portion and best of all, they don't charge tax which is very very rare in US.
Service was good by the old lady even though they are busy.
This will be my regular dim sum store whenever I visit San Francisco.“

“Such amazing food!!! My wife and I got the Beef Pan Fried Mixed Vegetable Noodles and Half a BBQ Roasted Duck and they were both excellent!

Carol and John treated us so well and we even received a complimentary Red Bean Soup for dessert that was so surprisingly sweet for a bean soup!!

It's a little bright in there but the lighting wasn't aggressive and the seating is in a beautiful space. Great date spot!“

“Great service and some of the best Chinese food I have had. Everything tasted very fresh. The vegetables had a good crunch and the dimsum was outstanding. The siumai was large and the chicken feet had great umami. The sweet and sour pork had really good flavor, texture, and crunch.

The beef chow fun came in a big portion. The tofu beef was amazing. The kung pao chicken had lots of peanuts which made it extra tasty. The beef spareribs were huge with a crispy outside and a tender inside and they were seasoned really well.

The service was great from start to finish. For the first time ever in a Chinese restaurant we did not have any take home food because we devoured everything.“

“I love this place! Delicious har gow, bbq pork buns, and chicken siu mai. The dumplings have a delicious chewy texture, and the pastry/buns are always amazing. Everything tastes so fresh and it feels like they put a lot of care and love into their food. I like their Hong Kong milk tea as well!“

“I came just after lunchtime, craving dim sum. Got this box of crystal shrimp dumplings and chive dumplings. $14.20 for 12 dumplings

Very soft with the right amount of chewiness. Served warm. Wasn’t too hungry but needed something for later as well.

Lady serving me didn’t speak much English but still managed to understand me and was nice.

Several tables but I took to-go for eating at nearby parks.

Would go again to try more!“

“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“

“Absolutely fell in LOVE with this place and this will be my go to place for dim sum in SF from now on. I discovered this gem when the line at good mong kok bakery was too long. There seemed to be plenty of locals in the restaurant so I decided to give it a shot. I spent around $40 got plenty of dim sum for the family to go around. The dim sum was hot, plump, and filled with meat!

We tried new moon last time, and was extremely disappointed because it was cold!! Plus, the have seating in the back. We will be coming back here. Bring cash!“

“This place was extremely delicious!
My bf and I tried a variety of buns and dim sum here. The Dim Sum, hands down, was made so beautifully and tasted even more so. The taste was flavorful and simple in a way that felt like home. We also had the bbq pork buns one steamed and one puffed, it was a sweet bbq flavor which I really enjoyed. The service was excellent and they even provided a suggestion of items to try based off what we were ordering. The puffs were light and soft, my bf isn’t much of a bread person so it had a bit much for him.
Overall, I definitely recommend this place for amazing quality dim sum, buns, and friendly service.“

“Support small businesses!

Where you can find quality handcrafted food. I loved everything I’d ordered. From dim sum, milk tea, white sauce, marinated pork ribs and chicken feet, baked egg custard, to specialty traditional Hong Konger soup of the day!
I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have experience this taste again, I left HK back in 2006. This place tasted like home, my childhood, I wonder if they are from Kwun Tong too!

Thank you Hongry Kong for delivering amazing memories to me. I had already placed my second order. Spread the word out, hope you continues with success!“

“The taste is very good, I will go there again next time.“

“Excellent quality and price! Please don't change a thing 😃

February 2026 update: new management seems good, friendly service, nice remodel with more tables. Food still very tasty, but wontons in chili oil are a lot spicier than they were previously.“

“went here for lunch with my friends and ordered a bunch of food! got the garlic beans, vegetable chow mein, a few buns/dumplings and the vegetable pot stickers! burning tasted amazing and the service was quick and efficient (you order via a qr code). went around 3 pm on a sunday and there was no wait + open tables. def would go again!“

“A very locals option for carry out dimsum — a selection not as extensive as other Cantonese bakeries on San Bruno Avenue, but good quality. Charsiu bao (BBQ pork buns) are meaty (not fatty), getting the more-savory-to-sweet proportions just right.“

“When I'm in the Sunset District in San Francisco, I like to pick up some bao at Mongkok Dim Sum before I go home. They were busier a few years ago, but the line is much shorter now compared to a few years ago after a competitor opened in the area. Their dim sum is still good, and the service is pretty much the same as before. Fast and easy is good for me. I’ll still stop by next time I’m in the area.“

“Hands down, my favorite place in San Francisco!!! This place has EXCELLENT, delicious dim sum and food.The spicy pork soup dumplings are some of the best I've had. Get two orders. I've tried the Singapore style noodles, (excellent if you want to add a mild flavorful noodle dish to your dinner spread). The staff is exceptionally kind, helpful, courteous and accommodating. The place is clean and inviting. The food is delicious. Thank you Ken, Jessica, Andy and Yia-Yia. Go and eat in for the lunch specials and dinner! Try the egg yolk custard buns too! Best thing ever. I've had the Mongolian Beef, Beef with String Beans, Singapore Noodles, Shu Mai, BBQ pork buns, all delicious never had a bad meal here! Go! It's delicious 🤤🤤“

“Authentic dim sum restaurant. We dine in and had some Shuman, shrimp rice noodle roll, and Custard bun. Food was great except the rice noodle roll was too much noodle and not enough shrimp. We ended up getting some more buns and dim sum togo.“

“So delicious. Had the pork sheng jian bao, chili oil wonton and Chinese broccoli. Pork sheng jian baos were amazing, the soup was delicious, and the crispy bottom was a nice touch to the soup dumpling, something i don't see often. Chili oil wonton were delicious as well. Service was timely and friendly. I would definitely come back here again.

no wait on a Monday night right at opening time 5pm for dinner“

“Reasonable and affordable price, good taste. I’ve been here many times, really like it! Nowadays Chinese food is so pricey and most of them sucks, this one is hidden GEM. If you don’t like cooking home as me , this is an ideal place to go!!! Haha

3 dishes and 1 soup combo is GOAT!“

“We went there for Thanksgiving for the first time. As a vegetarian, I can say I had many options, and what I chose was outstanding. My wife and daughter enjoyed their fish and meat dishes and I can honestly say there wasn’t one dish that wasn’t outstanding. I heartily recommend this place and I’m considering going back for Christmas if they’re open.“

“What a great experience! I especially love the chicken Goyza, pork dim sum and the Xiao Long Bao. I can’t wait to go back! Chef Suz ATX“

“Consistently the best dim sum in the neighborhood! I’ve been coming here for over a decade, and it’s not only delicious but also incredibly reliable—especially important for someone like me with a sensitive stomach. The quality has never wavered. Truly a hidden gem!“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“Consistently good food and service and reasonably priced for the quality and atmosphere. We come here when we crave Chinese food and you know it's legit because the older generation Chinese eat here too.

We have been here / taken out many times. All the food is flavorful. Lots of good choices we rotate through on the menu but I always get the pan fried kurobuta pork baos.

Some Chinese places I find the food under seasoned or maybe not that well cooked, however this place does a great job. Everything is well seasoned and even simple dishes like mixed veggies - all the veggies were cooked well with beautiful bright green color and slight crunch/not overcooked. Small but important details“

“We loved just about everything we ordered here but I can only specifically remember (other than the pork ribs) that the buns were pork and the shumai were shrimp because otherwise we really just pointed at the items we wanted and ate without worry. We sat outside and food came out almost immediately. Definitely will be back.“

“Our daughter is obsessed with soup dumplings which we found at Fusion Dumpling. The traditional pork were great, but try the black truffle and wagyu soup dumplings. You won't be disappointed!“

“Everything is just great!!! From your time waiting till you’re served, is wonderful.“
