    Food is always delicious at Yank Sing. We have been going to Ya k Sing for decades, ever since it was located in Chinatown. It was noisy and difficult to converse. Pricey- but worth it!!

    The safe choice for dim sum in San Francisco. Food is high quality and fresh, and this restaurant, as compared with many other in the Bay Area, still uses carts to display the choices. Expensive but the ambience is part of the reason. Definitely a more refined dim sum offering than almost any other restaurant.

    The food was OK, but sitting out in the middle of an atrium on plastic tables/chairs and paying very premium prices is off-putting. Limited menu items, middling service - overall a poor value experience. We should have been notified that the restaurant wasn't seating inside and that we'd be in a commercial atrium on cheap furniture when we made the reservation.

    Very good dim sum, same as HK standards. Wine a bit costly. Jasmine tea not strong enough, which is typical with most Chinese restaurants in America. They dont serve good quality Chinese tea and give very little tea leaves.

    Great quality of dim sum, tried a few in the Bay Area, this is the best! Like everywhere else, there is a labor shortage so service is a bit slow. Also, they serve their dim sum in a traditional trolley, a great way to serve dim sum while it is hot and fresh, and eat at your own pace.

    The food, as always, was very good. The service was not great, though. The servers rolling carts have a tough job, no doubt, in making sure they circulate through the very large area they are covering -- both inside the restaurant itself and into the building's atrium area where additional tables are set up. Still, rather than just telling us they would be back as they passed by, they very carefully looked the other way so as to avoid any and all eye contact. That was maybe acceptable, but we asked for more water probably five or six times before we finally got any -- we were VERY thirsty by then as it took maybe 25 minutes to arrive. I will note that once we asked for a particular item, if a server didn't have it on her cart she would let someone know and it showed up fairly quickly.

    Great dim sum. Not flashy, but always well-done and satisfying. It's in an office building so ambience...? Can get a little noisy and crowded on Saturday and Sunday, but the servers are very on top of things. I try to always make this my last stop before I leave San Francisco.

    I've been going to Yank Sing for years, tho not very frequently. It's a SOLID choice that toes the line between traditional flavors for Chinese/Chinese-Americans and something more familiar with non-Chinese folks (myself). The food quality has been consistent for the past 10 yrs that I'd been going, even with Covid stopping me for the past 3 years. Yank Sing does the popular foods really well. The baked char siu bun (weekend only) is a go-to and completely more-ish. It's well-filled and the bread flavour is slightly sweet and soft. Most other dim sum places have one or the other or neither. Their custard tart is some of the best in the bay; the custard part is just the right sweetness and the crust is appropriately flakey. I've had some really bad custard tarts lately so having this was a breath of fresh air. The long rice noodle dish (mushroom/vegetarian) is quite excellent, and the noodle is thin. The fried glutinous rice dumpling is my personal fave, aside from the char siu bun. The veggie options, such as the orange dumpling, the green spinach dumpling, and the snow peas dumpling are also quite excellent and vegan friendly. Our reservations were for 10am when they first open because our crew needed to be elsewhere, and the only downside to an early resy is that the foods might not be fully ready. The char siu bun didn't make its rounds on the carts in bulk until when we were almost finished eating (they kept running out before getting to our table). But luckily the staff was attentive and was able to get an order to us directly. Parking is easy -- it's inside the Rincon building, and you can get your parking validated (free parking!)

    Great selection and every dish was excellent. Make sure to reserve a table ahead of time, otherwise the wait can be long, although probably still worth it. Yank Sing also validates parking, so that perk offsets some of the prices of the food.

    Dim sum restaurants with traditional carts are hard to come by nowadays. It was nice for the kids to experience that as well as the yummy food. No more stamps on cards, it's all digitalized.

    We had made reservations to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. We were seated in a small side room. We asked for tea at the beginning of our service. It never came, and we were almost done with our meal. I had to get up to flag down someone and ask for tea again. When the tea arrived, it was not the tea we had asked for. Also, we tried to get a couple of desserts that never came. I had to ask multiple times. We love Yank Sing, but this dining experience was very disappointing.
