Note - Yank Sing has moved to 121 Spear Street (at Folsom). I love the noise and staff rushing about on a busy afternoon at Yank Sing. The visual and aroma barrage of the constantly passing food carts does lean towards sensory overload. I like the food here, my constant companion, Barbara is less enthusiastic. She's not a fan of any Asian cuisine, so take her opinion in stride. Recent lunch was $58 for us & Barb did not eat heartily like me. I used to visit the old Battery Street location. Was the food better then? Maybe. The old place was a dot.com & banker hang-out, it was always more kinetic with happy diners than the new address. Still for variety & flavor of dim sum, Yank Sing is up there with the best places. less

The dim sum is good, but a bit on the pricy side. The restaurant is quite large, but the bathroom is very small...just a few stalls...not sure why they would build a restaurant that big without a larger bathroom. It's no fun to stand in line while your dim sum gets cold. Anyways, they have quite a variety of dim sum. I went there around 2pm on a Saturday and it was packed with carts going around quickly...there was a cart at our table before we even got the chance to sit down. The service is okay. less

Best overall DIM SIM in the Bay Area.....most people would agree. I've been all over the Bay Area...Ton Kiang...City View...Harbor Village...MayFlower in Milpitas an there's one right next to it that resembles typically good dim sum restaurants in Hong Kong.
I usually like going to places out in the Sunset/Richmond area....there's tons of good places out there.
If you want to spend a little more $$ with some friends, try Yank Sing. The food is less greasy, higher quality and more innovative at this SF hotspot. My friend from Hong Kong calls this place the "worse" chinese restaurant in SF!!! hmmmmmm???? my guess, not enough grease, no chicken feet, no sliced tripe bar, no bowls of tendon to start out with and no juliene pig ears. If that's how you judge a dim sum retaruant, then this place would dissapoint you.

Yank Sing's dimsum is excellent, and also very expensive. You'll enjoy it more if someone else is paying. The takeout area is always crowded at lunchtime. Avoid it. Yes, it's inexpensive, but also a greasy mess. Very disgusting. Better ... more

The takeout area is always crowded at lunchtime. Avoid it. Yes, it's inexpensive, but also a greasy mess. Very disgusting. Better to splurge occasionally on the "dine-in." less
