Wing Lee Bakery

This has been a staple in my family for many years. My parents used to come get dim sum to bring home from here all the time. I stopped in recently to pick-up 30 har gow and 30 siu mai (10 orders each) for a potluck. The ladies there are always friendly and fast. Some other favorites I enjoy there are the taro dumplings (not usually available at other Chinese bakeries) and the sticky rice bao. Prices have gone up quite a bit but still worth every penny in my opinion.

I grew up going to Wing Lee Bakery. As a child, my mom enrolled me into "Score" as an after school program a block away, and she would always take me to Wing Lee after it was done. It's been almost 30 years of coming here, and the food is still the same as I remember. The prices definitely is a bit higher, but paying about $4 for an order of 3 dim sum items is still more cost efficient than eating out.They recently reopened their indoor eating space, since it was closed due to COVID in the past few years. They have about 4 tables where you can sit to enjoy your food with soy sauce and hot sauce provided on the table. It's definitely nice as a grab and go.My favorites here are their steamed baos, pork siu mai, ha gow (shrimp dumpling), banana custard mochi (they don't always have this though), and their lotus wrapped sticky rice. They're cash only, and I recommend going early in the day because they get packed later in the mornings into the afternoon.

Wing Lee is a regular stop for us in the Richmond. We picked up 3 steamed chicken buns, 3 bbq pork buns, 4 potstickers and 3 sesame balls - all for 20$. I usually go by 10am to avoid lines. Street parking is metered and fills up quickly. They are cash only and takeout only. The menu is straightforward, and the women working there are always nice and helpful. Per my dad's (SF native) definitive ranking of Richmond takeout dim sum spots:"Wing Lee: best dai baoCherry Blossoms: best baked BBQ pork bunsGood Luck: best everything else"

Wing Lee is pretty solid. I can always count on the dim sum to be hot and fresh. Been going for years after work. My favorite pieces are the pork siu mai and sesame balls. I've tried neighboring dim sum spots and i feel this one is the best, esp with freshness.

Anytime I see a line it peaks my interest to know more. So, even tho we had just ate lunch, I joyfully jumped in line to get a sampling assortment for later. And since "Good Luck" down the street was closed, this place looked like one of the most happening places on the block!Absolutely delighted with the vegetarian bean curd roll. They were plump and tasty. Think of them as a wrapped pocket of monks jai.Not as impressed with the other two items bought today. The skin on the shrimp dumpling har gao was very thick. Filling lacking taste.The potstickers also had a thick skin. Filling consisted of pork and vegetables and while not the best, they were tasty. Would order again.Will be back to try other items from this take out place.

Quality/Quantity - In their defense, we got here late afternoon on Father's Day Holiday and as expected, there were slim pickings. Good thing my guest is not too picky.Got a bunch of dim sum and some porridge. Atmosphere - Small, a mainly to-go place.A few tables and seating.Open 7 days a week from 8am to 7pm.Metered street parking, good luck.Service - Good. Price - $30, I guess that is the going rate for what we got. Clement Street is fairly competitive, so I am assuming the prices reflect that...? I honestly did not even look at the prices, because if you are following, we just did a 7 hour drive from Reno back to the Bay.Owner Comment - Congrats on your success for what I believe 20+ years.

This place has such good authentic dim sum for such a good price! We ordered boxes and boxes of food and maybe spent $12 per person. Make sure to bring cash though!! To order, you stand in line and order at the counter, which has all the dim sum on display. The workers speak some English which is great for poor Chinese speakers like me lol! We got a huge assortment of dim sum, from dumplings to big pork buns to sew mai. Some notable ones were the baked BBQ pork buns (steamed ones are too doughy and not meaty enough) and the big pan fried potstickers. The taro dumpling was interesting, I had never had anything like it before but I liked it. The pineapple bun was disappointing because there wasn't any filling in it. There are some tables to eat at in the back of the restaurant, but I think people usually take their food to go. I will definitely be back for more yummy dim sum in the future!!

After having lived in the inner Richmond for over half a year, this is still our go to spot for dim sum! They always get their siu mai just right and the har gow/chives har gow so delicious! We also enjoy the baos, chicken skewer, Chinese sausage bun, and sweets.Service is great and they'll always get you through the line quickly, just what we need at a takeout spot! They also reopened their dine in option for those who prefer that, there are a few tables inside, but there is no table service!

Quick classic cash-only dim sum on Clement. Fast, easy and consistent. Cue up and either eat in or take away. Favorites here for savory include their har gow (shrimp dumpling), the shrimp dumpling with boiled leeks, their bean cake, and for sweet, the light, chewy coconut and peanut mochi balls or the crisp sesame balls with bean paste. A quick stop here hits the spot when shopping and walking on Clement, a solid 3.5.
