Came for a SF Baiju Society event and the food was outstanding! Highly recommend the crispy squab, chicken stuffed with sticky rice, giant clam with vermicelli, and this crispy beef with soft tofu dish. Service was much better than expected, with lots of water filling and plate changing without being asked.

The king crab meal is very special – they make it 3 different ways!! We did steamed with vermicelli, fried with salted duck yolk and sautéed with noodles. You can also do sautéed with rice or steamed with egg. Make sure to call ahead and pre-order. The servers were very friendly and hard working. Can’t wait to be back!

Everything was delicious, but getting at least one seafood dish is a must. Their salted fish and chicken fried rice is my favorite so far in SF.

The portions are generous and the staff is friendly.

came here for both dim sum lunch (Friday 11:30am) and dinner (Sunday 6pm). I enjoyed the dim sum more. the service is much better compared to other Chinese places. Service is polite, prompt on requests (iced water, hot sauce, check) but hard to flag down when the restaurant is full. when we sat down for dinner, there were no menu on the tables. it was being contributed to other tables that was reserved. I had to go up to the cashier lady to ask for the menu which she brought to us. they mostly have larger tables. We were a party of 5 so we sat at the most inner left corner of restaurant which made the duration of the meal feeling very stuffy and hot.

for the dim sum, the pork liver was probably the best dish. pork liver was soft. the beef rice roll, the skin roll is a little too thick. beef ball was very soft and mild tasting. Fried pumpkin with salted egg was okay, I didn’t like the batter and not much salted egg taste but the pumpkin is soft. chicken feet was sweet. the mixed beef organ is another okay dish, not tender enough for elderly with no teeth. the fried pork dumpling didn’t have much filling. my dad did enjoy the black sesame dumpling and the pork dumpling ( I didn’t try). no condiments on the table for both dim sum and dinner so I asked for hot sauce which they promptly brought to me.

dinner, overall the dishes very sweet or too salty. crab meats with fish maw soup had barely any crab meat, soup tasted only of salt so not flavorful. the best dish is the fried squab, tender and very tasty. beef cube with mushrooms, too salty. steamed chicken with ginger green onion sauce was tender and tasty but a little over salted. big pea sprout was okay, a little tough but maybe the sprout is out of season. Combination seafood clay pot with overly salty and had a sweet taste too, walnut shrimp didn’t have much mayo and too sweet but the shrimp was cooked just right. giant clam was tender but a little bland. they gave us free dessert, green bean soup (I didn’t eat it) but my family said not too sweet which is how Asian like their dessert.

there is an automatic 18% tip added for a party of 6 but since we only a party of 5, tip was self added by us. they came to change our plate mid meal but only to two of the plates on our table.

metered and residential parking. Residential parking was easier for me. the place is fairly big but the tables arrangements is a little tight. it was noisy and there was a guy next to our table who was the loudest in the whole restaurant.,he was very obnoxious and made it unpleasant to have to hear him throughout our meal (our party and his arrived at the same time).

Came here for dinner and had more delicious food. Oysters on a sizzling platter, deep fried squab, sea cucumber clay pot, and winter melon soup were my favorites.

Solid place for Chinese food!

Stopped by for dinner. Thought I would update my review. Dinner was still very good. Favorites included the special poached chicken with ginger sauce, clams with black bean sauce, and spareribs. Would come back again for more delicious dinner.

A reasonable, priced hole in the wall family owned restaurant, but they serve a delicious variety of generous portions of dim sum and Chinese food. Fast and friendly service. We all left the restaurant stuffed with some leftovers. Although it was our first time, it won’t be our last. We’ll be back! If you have not been there, don’t walk, run! Just to remind you, they get busy. Apparently, it’s a popular pocket friendly place that serves delicious Chinese food! Cheers!

Best 炸兩 (fried doughnut wrapped in rice noodle) we’ve found in San Francisco so far – HK quality. In general all the dim sum was good. Decent portion sizes and Wide selection of all the dishes you’d expect – even the unappetizing ones like pig gut.
Service was quick and friendly. We got there after the lunch rush and they seated all 10 of us quickly.
It’s a decent size so the noise level wasn’t too high.

Came to this place a few times for dim sum. The restaurant is of decent size and pretty clean. I like that there are some booths for smaller parties; and some big round tables for up to 8-9 people. Excellent customer service; and good price. Street parking is fairly easy to find.

Food is pretty good in general–noodle rolls, taro puff, fried sugar egg puffs, glutinous rice dumplings, shumai, just to name a few.

I would recommend going early on the weekends, as it could get crowded.

Great authentic Chinese dim sum—nothing beats their flavors. Service was warm and on point. Five stars, straight up.
