    Every time we dine here it’s always a treat. I did pick something I didn’t like & they took it off the bill. Egg custard cups, sesame balls & pork buns are alway favorites of ours. Until we return we have great memories

    The seating was compromised by a private event but they accommodated us very nicely and were very solicitous.

    Liana is the best. When service is lacking or the kitchen is slow she makes sure we get what we need.

    I took my three cousins to Yank Sing for a Saturday brunch - had a great experience - both service and food. Two had recently moved to SF from the East Coast, and Yank Sing was their introduction to traditional dim sum served from carts. After brunch we took a tour of the Rincon Center old post office murals with City Guides - a nice pairing of classic SF activities for the weekend.

    Unfortunately, Yank Sing has jumped the shark. After dining here for decades and proclaiming that “Yank Sing has the BEST dim sum in the world,” this way over-priced once mighty dim sum “palace of flavor and uniqueness” has now fallen, hard, from its throne. Pork soup dumplings ($16 for 6) came to us cold, chewy and without any broth in three of them. That first dish was a tasteless, expensive mess which only added insult to injury after we couldn’t park in the “restaurant validated” Rincon garage because it was completely full at 12:30pm on a Thursday, presumably because of a Giants baseball game. The next four dishes, presented by automaton-like servers pushing the dim sum carts with little personality and even less English language abilities, were serviceable and cost prohibitive at the same time. There was nothing about these pork, shrimp and combo shu mais and hargows. And the cold Chinese broccoli plate was served so cold (as if it had just come out of a way too long stay in the refrigerator) was so cold as to be inedible. What a shame. Yank Sing’s fall from grace as the best dim sum purveyor in the world leaves me with a hole in my heart and my stomach and now gives me one less reason to visit San Francisco at a time when there are many fewer reasons to do so. And spending $75 (plus $31 for parking blocks away!) on a five plate lunch without alcohol at a sub standard dim sum place is no longer a necessity.
