Dim Sum is great, BBQ buns, Shu Mai and steamed dumplings were super flavorful. Dumpling soup was also delicious, broth was deliciously balanced and a little gingery. Very good hole in the wall in the middle of Broadway.

Definitely a whole in the wall place. There are so many other good options for dim sum in Chinatown. The gentleman who took our order didn't speak any English. Some things we wanted on the menu they didn't have. A lady came out and we communicated with her better. She suggested things we didn't think to order. Food was ok.

Overall great price for quality. Should order online to avoid the long wait (20+ minutes for a to go place is too long)
- pork and shrimp shumai was really good
- ham sui gok was ok. It was a bit soft, not keeping the crunchy texture
- mango pudding was ok, not too sweet but a bit more chewy than I like

This place was in the middle of Chinatown and did not disappoint! We were craving dumplings and definitely came to the right place! We got hot tea right when we sat down which is always nice. We ordered the pork buns, shrimp dumplings, pork dumplings, and sesame balls. All were super yummy! My wife who is allergic to gluten was able to eat the shrimp dumplings! I would highly recommend this place! Super yummy and great service!

This is a take out only place.

Steamed pork bun was solid. Shrimp/pork shumai was somewhat decent, but I quite like that there are discernable pieces of whole (small) shrimp in the filling. Not bad, but not exceptional either

The deep fried pork puffs were truly awful. Both it and the spring rolls were served cold, likely made in a batch hours before I got them. Pork puff filling was sparse and drowned by the deep fried glutinous wrapping. Greasy, bland, disappointing. Deep fried spring rolls were mediocre. Served room temperature with a nondescript filling

Decent prices, not opposed to coming again but would need to be thoughtful about which items to pick and which to avoid

The dim sum is good and I really enjoyed it. The service is indifferent at best especially if you're not ordering a lot of food. It's definitely a small hole in the wall kind of place with limited seating. Overall though I still liked it.

Wow, the food was amazing. Slow service but absolutely worth the wait for delicious food at low prices. The egg custard and the pork buns were especially memorable.

Cramped location, understaffed, very slow service. Very bad unresponsive service, only one waitress, only one cook. Food couldnt possibly make up for it

Ordered food for pick up - chow fun, salt and pepper chicken wings, garlic spareribs, BBQ pork fried rice… All of it was delicious. Pipping hot despite having to walk home in the cold and rain. The portions are generous. I highly recommend this spot - It’s a hidden gem. Oh, and while you are at it, grab the mochi… You won’t regret it!

If you haven’t already tried this amazing food. Let me tell you about it. It is delicious ????. I love the STEAMED PLAIN BUNS ( 3 ) And the PAN FRIED POTSTICKERS PORK ( 3 ).Siempre que vengo a San Francisco es uno de mis favoritos lugares para comer. Yo prefiero ordenar la comida para llevar.

My favorite ever dumplings and egg rolls. Unbeatable! Must try!

Remarkably delicious Cantonese dim sum. Beef rice rolls had a good meat to wrap ratio. Beef chow fun had tender beef with fresh veg (plump bean sprouts!). My quality litmus test is the siu mai, which was terrific: pork tender, good portion of shrimp, tasty.

Service surprisingly good for a Chinese restaurant, with food arriving fast and the host checking in a couple of times.

A perfect piping wanton soup for a brisk San Francisco day. Fresh lemon tea is a good starter. I recommend eating in the restaurant.

When locals are seated, you can guarantee its going to be delicious.
While it was a small venue with low staff, the food was delicious. It is heavier on the "cafe" aspect and less so on dim sum. Delicious and polite!
