There is no Dim Sum restaurant in San Francisco that rivals Yank Sing. I have been visiting Yank Sing since their location on Broadway and quality of food and authenticity of experience remains to this day

There are better dim sum restaurants, with better quality, at better prices. A certain nostalgia exists for this place, it has been around for so long, and the Rincon Center is worth visiting for the Anton Refregier murals.

Great spot for dim sum. The servers bring carts around with most of the items they make at the restaurant. An app is also available to place an order directly to the kitchen.
Ron
Best dim sum this side of China. T has been my go-to place for table AND takeout. Food is consistent
Donna
Disappointing service. Had to ask for beverages 5 times. Selection of food was minimal compared to years ago when there was a huge variety. There are now other better dim sum restaurants. However the Shanghai dumplings are still the best.

I've enjoyed Yank Sing for 20 plus years. Their dim sum is subtle and elegant while being casually accessible. We've relocated to Portland and have found nothing to compare. We make our pilgrimage whenever we are in town. One standout is the potstickers. The dough manages to hold the flavorful filling and remain beautifully tender with a crispy bottom. A combination I not found elsewhere.

Yank Sing never disappoints! Fantastic dim sum experience that has become a tradition for our family.

Food was warm not hot. Food carts were very slow. Restaurant seems to have lost its magic over past few years.
Lynn
Yank Sing never disappoints. Everything we had was well prepared and fresh. The staff was particularly good about having things sent to the table that we requested but had not yet seen go by in the carts. It was a busy holiday afternoon and the service was still seamless. There are no better soup dumplings. Thanks for being consistently excellent.

Haven't been to Yank Sing on Spear St. in years. Same great quality, service and atmosphere. Prices went up but what hasn't? Just glad the experience is still great.
Yank Sing is always a delight, especially on New Year's. My friends and family and I love to go there any time, and always on January 1. The food is consistently excellent and the atmosphere is fun--everyone's having a good time. It's a little pricey, but it's worth it.

This was a celebration of our daughter's 50th birthday, 11 people total, including two chefs! Every single bite of every single dish was absolutely delicious, and they were able to accomplish both a vegetarian and a gluten-free guest. We were all seated at one table, perfectly comfortable and that made it extra festive. Wonderful place for a party! (Of course also a great place to go for no particular reason if you want great food in a fun atmosphere; we do that sometimes too.)

so terribly disappointed by my experience, we've been many times, but haven't been since Covid. So many of the items on the menu were unavailable, many of our regular favorites like rice, noodle rolls and orange Jell-O and fried rice. It took me four times to get tea, the location of our table put us in a place where no one ever came to check in on us or even ask if we needed anything we were constantly raising our hands trying to flag down anyone to help us.

Best dim sum in San Francisco, hands down. SF classic since 1958, still family run. Wonderful authentic service and cuisine.
Sheri
Worst service ever. Had to ask for water and drink refills three times and still never got anything from wait staff. No one checked in on our table after we were seated.
