General Notes

Excellent dim sum restaurant in the Richmond. Widely regarded as one of the better dim sum restaurants in SF and for good reason -- the food is great. It has a more "modern dim sum vibe", both in terms of atmosphere and food, unlike many of the other dim sum places in SF which serve more traditional dim sum foods with the rolling carts.


Negatives

> Like many other dim sum restaurants, this place gets VERY popular on the weekends. You can actually make a reservation online; I would recommend doing so before you come.


Dishes Tasted

  • ★☆☆☆ garlic tender green -- 油菜心 on their menu. a little underseasoned but overall fried well.
  • ★★★☆ shrimp dumpling -- this had huge pieces of shrimp, very satisfying
  • ★★★★ roasted duck -- this was incredible -- super tender, crispy skin, excellent flavor
  • ★☆☆☆ char siu rice crepe roll -- the rice crepe roll was decent, but char siu is not the right filling for this imo.
  • ★★☆☆ turnip cake -- fried well, though not quite as much actual turnip and a bit too much "paste"
  • ★★★☆ black bean chicken feet
  • ★★★★ black bean spare ribs -- These are excellent! They're super tender, excellent flavor, and perfect amount of starch holding it all together.
