Sum Dim Sum

Came here for a quick bite on my lunch break. Got the garlic noodles. Very good, it was buttery with just the right amount of garlic and not too oily. It was filling and affordable. Next time I will give their dim sum a try, I saw the table next to me have siu mai and potstickers. They commented that it was yummy, and the presentation was also appetizingI also saw there was a poster for lunch specials M-F, seems like a great deal when it comes with a drink. Service was friendly and attentive. I would def recommend to my co workers. Variety is great, there's something on the menu for everyone.

I was really looking forward to celebrating Lunar New Year at this restaurant, but unfortunately, the experience was a huge letdown. They had an extremely limited menu--only about ten options--and despite waiting in line, we were told that only two items were actually ready to order. Everything else would take at least 20 minutes to be prepared.Given that it was a special occasion, I would have expected them to be better prepared for the crowd, but instead, we waited 30 minutes for food that was overpriced ($25 per combo meal) and honestly tasted like something straight out of the microwave. The portion sizes were ridiculously small, and the quality was subpar at best. For that price, I expected something fresh and flavorful, not something that left me still hungry and disappointed.Overall, this was not worth the wait or the price, and I definitely wouldn't come back.

Food is very meh, and the condiments on the table are not adequate or traditional. There is no Chinese chili oil paste on the table. Instead there is black pepper and siracha (feels cheapened and dumbed down. Might as well put ketchup on the side too). The wonton soup broth is bland and watery, which is a shame because the wontons and veg are good. The chicken fried rice is decent with a smoky flavor. The salt and pepper chicken wings are breaded and not traditional. This completely threw us off. They were not what we were expecting at all. Personally I wouldn't name them this, as it's misleading. While they are good in their own way, they are Americanized. The Xiao Long Bao are decent, but not worth the money.The garlic noodles with pork were really good. The noodles were springy and chewy. But they use American broccoli that's over steamed, why not use Chinese broccoli (especially in Chinatown). The Shrimp Har Gow was the biggest winner. Big and plump. Good consistency.The interior is fun and modern, but the food feels like the quality of a mall food court. Just tweak a few things here and there to make it more authentic and you'll be 5stars. So much potential!!

Came here on a Saturday for a late lunch. When you go inside, it seems like to order at the cashier first then go sit down, but actually, you sit down and they will take your order. We ordered the dan dan noodles, and the salt and pepper fried tofu. It was very delicious! The fried tofu is amazing. It has a good balance of deep fried from the outside with the softness tofu inside. I definitely recommend ordering that. The dan dan noodles was also good. Mixing it with the cucumber is not overwhelming. It does contain peanut and it's not too overwhelming. It kinda of a hint of MaLa at the end. overall, everyone was nice. I definitely recommend a spot to try it out! The area is also very clean inside, it's very organized, just no public bathroom.

Just stumbled across this hidden gem while walking through Chinatown. Was greeted by staff as soon as I walked in. Food was made to order and came out fresh! The roasted chicken with garlic noodles was super tasty. Onion pancakes were flaky and fried to perfection. Plus, we got a free drink with the lunch special ($13)! Definitely check them out if you're in the area.

Food was so-so. I had the wonton soup and the spicy wonton. The soup was not great. The spicy wonton was way better. Big disappointment for me on this place is that do not serve beer. How can you have Chinese with now beer. Also , service was slow. I do not recommend.

Went during the festival, said they were opening at 6:30 but you could only order 2 items off the menu unless you wanted to wait 15 more minutes. And then once I got the food it looked worse than a 5 year expired microwave meal and tasted it too. I'm a hungry college student and I could not stomach this after a long day. Almost ruined a great festival, left very disappointed. Was also absurdly expensive. And no seating.

Came as a party of 10 on new years afternoon. We decided to try SDS since they had availability for our large party, though they were already mostly packed. I was hesitant on the authenticity of the food since I grew up dining in traditional dim sum restaurants. SDS was very good. All our dishes were flavorful and did not lack the authenticity. Some portions are just a bit less than traditional dim sum restaurants, but make up on the quality. We ordered shu mai*, ha kow*, Chinese broccoli*, green beans*, wonton soup*, spicy wonton*, egg yolk bun*, bbq buns, pancakes, pork fried rice, Thai tea*. Our favorites are in *. We'll try the salt + pepper tofu next time. Service was fast and friendly. Restaurant is clean. Thank you SMS for a delicious and great experience, adults and teenage girls approved! We'll definitely be back...

Meh. Try an authentic place instead. The food here isn't great. It doesn't have great flavor.

Food was okay, but it wasn't the best, especially for the prices. The service was good, one of my friends has an allergy to the oil they use and they provided good accomadations for them. The artsyle and ambience are post modern, which isn't bad, but not the style I want from a dim sum place in the middle of SF Chinatown.
