Had really high expectations for this place after hearing everyone rave about it but it fell short. The only thing I truly enjoyed was the xiao long bao. Har gow were small and flavor was just ok. Siu mai were tiny as well and looked shriveled. The company I was with enjoyed them. I liked the chicken and mushroom dumplings which were unique as I've never had them at any other dim sum spot before. The shrimp and chive dumplings were ok as well. Nothing amazing. I would come back if someone suggested it, but prob would skip for the other spots in town.

Best dim sum in the city. Highly recommend. I prefer the Rincon center location but this one is still solid.

I was very disappointed with the food and service at Yank Sing. Have been there many times but sad to say the standard has dropped a lot. We asked for Turnip cakes and Shrimp and Chives and it was not brought to our table. Also the fried dim sum was cold.

Without question, the best dim sum in San Francisco. Yank Sing on Stevenson Street serves authentic, fresh, and delicious food with attentive service. It's cozier than their other location, and their weekend cart service is the best.

This is the best dim sum in the city, and possibly the US. Everything is full of flavor and the carts and atmosphere are fun with friends or family to just pick and point and dive into dishes immediately. Service is excellent, both because the carts have many options and because they can hunt down or make what you want asap. This is truly a SF gem and I'll find any excuse to go whenever I'm downtown.

If you're looking for an authentic dim sum experience, skip this place. For a very expensive price, you get mediocre food and a limited dim sum menu. When I go eat dim sum, I'm expecting to order a variety of items, not 3 orders of one item. They don't offer classics like flat rice rolls or any sweet buns (custard, lava custard, taro, etc.) Most of the food on their menu is fried. For sweet items, they only offer three items, which one is orange jello. The last time I've seen orange jello on the menu must have been 20 years ago. The only tasty thing I had were their egg tarts. It was a disappointing experience and I wouldn't choose to come back.

The pushcart-style Hong Kong snacks, the shrimp dumplings, carrot cakes, and cod rolls are delicious, but the xiaolongbao is average.

Visited SF for the day with a good friend. We selected Yank Sing as a great place to dine. It was a very nice lunch of traditional dim sum dishes. Food was nicely prepared, well presented, and served piping hot. The service was expedient and personnel were pleasant. A clean, white linen table clothed restaurant. A nice choice for lunch! I'll be back!

Overall thought it was pretty good, but not my favorite dim sum.That being said, the crispy tofu was incredible - I’d consider going back just to get this… Everything else was pretty average, except the honey walnut shrimp which I would not recommend.
A must every time I visit SF. I crave the sticky rice in lotus leaf and all the other delicacies we had were fabulous. Soup dumplings! Who doesn't love soup dumplings? So soft and squishy and juicy! Satisfies a need of mine for delicious, hand made dim sum. I wish there were more places like this where I live. But glad it still exists here. Enjoy!
If you love Dim Sum you will love Yank Sing! Its very authentic and always a great place to take friends and family. The food is fresh and the staff are very nice!

One of the few dim sum spots in the city that brought back the traditional carts. Great service and the best bbq pork bun I had in a while. Other foods were okay. Def a will come back
