Really nice place. Ambiance, food, and service were all great. The manager was sweet, brought our kids some chocolate at the end of the meal, which made their day.Kid-friendliness: They were sweet to our kids and the food options were great for kids- shrimp rolls, buns, and rice dishes.

Please note: The address is correct, however, the directions from Google Maps will take you to the old location on Commercial St. Hopefully they will fix this soon. The restaurant is across Walter Lum PL from Portsmouth Square. So if you find the square, you are almost there. Don't go to Commercial St, it will say the restaurant is permanently closed.The food is good, but not the best. This is San Francisco after all, a city where there are more dimsum places than most other cuisines. It's not bad, but I've had better elsewhere. But it's a great place for families & large groups. The food comes very quickly so you don't have to wait long.The atmosphere is a little loud, but what Chinese restaurant isn't? This is a great place if you are from out of town & want to experience a good dimsum place in the oldest Chinatown in the US.

The restaurant has changed location and the new one, 3 minutes away, is very beautiful and more characteristic than what you see in the photos. The tables are placed in wooden structures and there is much more privacy. Fast and efficient service. Menu with photos and therefore easy to consult. Unfortunately only 3 stars because we were disappointed by the dishes. We took buns, dumplings, rolls and sesame chicken... The buns had almost no filling and the outside was rubbery, the dumplings were tasteless... the chicken was overcooked and the quality of the meat was questionable. In the end we left part of the order…

Everything is a tad bit better here. You pay more, but it's all delightful enough to get past the price. Our party of three ordered lots of dim sum for about $130, and we thought they easily earned a good tip. I'm going back to try more.

The gravy of Soryeongpo was fantastic.The chicken fried rice is really delicious.
Peking duck with lotus bun was absolutely phenomenal. Meat was tender, duck skin was crispy yet so juicy, bun was bun-ing. Will definitely order this again next time I go Honorable mention to the BBQ steamed pork bun - it was also warm and flavorful!Overall I had a great experience at City View, especially because the service was amazing. My food arrived quickly and the waiter was super attentive. Highly recommend this place if you're in Chinatown!

Food was great. The prices are high compared to traditional chinatown dim sum restaurants. No carts anymore either which was disappointing.
