Dim sum restaurant in China town with thoughtful Chinese decor, having both Chinese and Non Chinese Clientele. It has some special dim sum dishes like Peking duck, crab claws, both delicious. The dim sum is good: the cilantro rice roll is a bit thick with limited cilantro, the scallop siu mai is a bit plain , the shrimp egg roll is very good. If you are in China town, this is worthy a visit.

Oh man, what a great meal. Our son (who lives in Berkeley) frequents this place. We hit it for lunch while in SF today. Tried 9 different dishes and all were great…I mean really great. Very nice and modern restaurant. Service was good, but classic non-interactive Chinese service. I can’t say enough about the food.

The dim sum here was very good. I had Pork Siu Mai dumplings, the Peking Duck with buns, and Green Beans with Garlic. For drinks I had some tea.
The service was very good here too. It is a place I would return to.

I thought the food was pretty good for the most part but a little pricey for dim sum. My favorite thing though was the garlic green beans, omg so addictive and perfectly crisp and flavorful. The scallop shumai and stuffed eggplant and tofu were very good. Taro puffs were just ok imo. Restaurant was clean and the service was great.

Dimsum place next to Portmorth parking garage in China town. This restaurant spellcialized in peking duck. They only serve dinner Friday and Saturday. Other days just lunch.
We arrived around 1 pm and there are people waiting. The restaurant interior is nice. Menu is simple for dimsum. The dimsum dishes are commonly found in all dimsum place.
We ordered lo mai kai, string bean, XO rice noodle, chicken feet, fried glutinous ball, and pan fry turnip. The order was ready pretty quickly.
The dishes are ok. The highlight is the green beans for me. The rest are average. The XO rice roll is a bit too sweet.
Pricewise may be on the higher side as this is Chinatown where you can get cheaper dimsum somewhere else. We cannot really compare as this is restaurant and other cheaper dimsum place around Chinatown is not as nice as this one.
One thing that I am not aware of is there is 5% mandatory charge which I never aware of. If you gave 15% , it is like you give 20% granularity.

Atmosphere is better than most of the Chinatown dim sum restaurants .
Food is better than the average except the peking duck which was really a roast duck and not peking duck. Think : roast duck plus a bun.
Service was efficient but not friendly. It was approaching please-do-not-bother-me level.

Greeted and seated as we walked in. The place is vlean and modern at Portsmouth Square Park. We ordered lemon iced teas, Dim Sum Shrimp Dumplings, Scallop Siu Mai, Pecking Duck with Lotus Bun and Shrimp Egg Rolls. Very Good!

I was starving and looking for soup dumplings. I found this place on Google Maps. I got two items. The soup dumplings and the Peking Duck buns. They were equally disappointing. The soup dumplings had not flavor and no soup. The Peking Duck felt more like HK style roast duck, with no crisp on the duck, but fatty. It was disappointing because I was in the middle of Chinatown. I expected better. The service was quick and fast. I spent $27.50 for two dishes and a pot of tea. Don’t recommend and not worth the price at all. Go to other neighborhoods like Irving Street for better, more authentic Chinese food!

Nestled amid the vibrant streets of San Francisco’s Chinatown, this dim sum restaurant offers a truly elevated dining experience that honors tradition while delivering exceptional quality and service. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere feels both inviting and refined — a seamless blend of classic charm and modern polish.
The duck here is nothing short of extraordinary — crisp, golden skin giving way to tender, flavorful meat that’s perfectly seasoned and expertly prepared. The soup dumplings are delicate and artful, each one filled with a rich, savory broth that captures the essence of authentic dim sum craftsmanship.
Service is another standout. The staff are gracious, attentive, and knowledgeable, striking just the right balance between warmth and professionalism. Each dish arrives with thoughtful timing and presentation.
In a neighborhood filled with culinary treasures, this spot manages to rise above — not through flash, but through consistency, care, and excellence. Whether you’re a local seeking your new go-to or a visitor hoping for a quintessential Chinatown dining experience, this is a destination that embodies the spirit and sophistication of San Francisco’s dim sum scene.

I absolutely loved the food, Peking duck was delicious and as another person mentioned, the green beans were S tier, absolutely delicious. Had the shanghai siu lung bao, also amazing and some jasmine tea. Would absolutely come back
