Yank Sing

ank Sing - Fantastic Dim Sum! Had an amazing experience at Yank Sing! The dim sum was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The variety was great, and everything tasted authentic. The service was quick and attentive, even though the place was busy. A bit pricey, but totally worth it for the quality.

This was my first time going to this location. I went to Yank Sing this Friday at 11am when they opened. The staff in the front were friendly. I was sat right away. The restaurant is spacious. I recommend going early. That way you get to order what you want and not have to worry about flagging down a cart person. There were few people in the restaurant.The staff were attentive. I ordered tea and immediately a person with a cart came to my table. I ordered the soup dumplings, barbecue pork bun, Chinese broccoli and har gow.The soup dumplings are good. I added some vinegar, chili oil and soy sauce which added more depth of flavor. My dumplings were severed lukewarm. I would give them a 4/5. If it was served hot I would add a Star. I ordered the Chinese broccoli. It's served cold and oyster sauce is added to your table. The dish was okay. The texture could have been better. Some pieces were a bit slimy. I give it a 3/5The har gow were good. Pretty standard. 4/5The barbecue pork buns were perfect. The filing was delicious. This waa my favorite dish 5/5The cart people went around and I asked for pork and shrimp shumai. It was a good thing I checked the shumai before I ate it. There was a mushroom on top. I asked the act person if there was mushroom inside. She said yes. I gave it back because I am allergic to mushroom. Had I known there were mushrooms inside, I would not have ordered it.Another cart person came to my table. The table was full of fried food and desserts. I asked if anything had mushrooms. He said yes and that the oil used to fry the food is the same oil used for everything from spring rolls and desserts. I decided not to order anything else. I asked a waiter for a box to take some food home. He asked me if I wanted the check too. I said yes but after I box my food. He gave me the box and bag. Then he stood next to me wanting to charge me with a portable machine. I told him to give me a second because I wanted to box my food first. The waiter did not move and watched me box my food and place it in my bag. It was awkward.I told him " can you give me a minute? I need to get my wallet." He just stood there and waited for me to get my wallet from my backpack. It was very awkward. The waiter could have walked a way for a minute to give me time to bag my food and then when I was ready come back to charge me. It was weird.Overall. The food is good. A bit pricey. The customer service was good until the hiccup at the end.

Yank Sing at One Rincon Center is well-known for award winning dim sum experience. We came on a Saturday afternoon around 2:30pm and there was still a 25 minute wait. They close at 3pm, but will still seat people that are waiting. We chose oolong tea and although they have an English menu, we ordered off thecarts. The food was good, but a little pricey.I liked the Phoenix tail prawns, Seabass sweet potato roll, and the xiao long bao (Shanghai Pork Dumplings). The pork and shrimp siu mai and shrimp noodle roll were good also. We tried to order the Peking Duck but they said it was sold out. The restaurant itself wasn't as fancy as I had imagined, but it was a decent dining room. The service was decent also. Since it was near closing, most of the carts were saying last call and there wasn't a lot of choices left. Overall, it was a nice dim sum dining experience.

We ate at Yank Sing for lunch. We had pork buns, pork pot stickers, pork and shrimp shu Mai, mushroom steamed noodle roll, chicken and mushroom dumpling, chicken spring rolls, shrimp dumplings, and fried prawns. It was all excellent and fresh! I didn't take any photos because I was so busy eating. But, if you haven't ever had dim sum, I would definitely recommend Yank Sing. It's not intimidating, the staff will accommodate you, and if you have food allergies, they will help steer you to foods you can eat.

We had $200 worth of dim sum and it was awesome. It really is worthy of it's Michelin rating. It's a huge venue with excellent service. It's pricey, but there are other dim sum venues in the Bay Area which are equally expensive. Great place to take out-of-town guests. Highly recommended.

Amazing dim sum. Came here for lunch on a weekday with coworkers. Made a reservation for three the same day. I didn't think I needed a reservation for a Thursday lunch but I would recommend making one. It was very busy. We tried so many items. I think our favorite was a salt and pepper pork, the green beans and something that came wrapped in a long rice noodle. I went a little overboard on dessert. We had the sesame balls, egg custard and a mango custard. The mango custard was my favorite. Everything was so fresh and tasty.The service is attentive for dim sum. You can easily flag someone down if you want a specific item that you're not seeing rolling on the carts. Price was reasonable for bougie dim sum in San Francisco. I'm sure there are better spots in the Bay Area that are more hole in the wall. I don't think I have any photos of the food because we were all so focused on eating everything delicious. Will definitely be back!

This has been my go to place in sfo for dim sum for many years. I got re visit after covid the place is the same it is authentic Chinese dim sum. Service it good we got in late and they made sure we were taken care off . I like the metropolitan location better .

We came to this location as it has the better rating than the other one and is closer to Chinatown. There is no Chinatown aspect to this place as it is located in an office building with tight parking. We came on the weekend, so parking was free with validation for the first 3 hours. We had to circle the building and the underground lot for some time before finding a tiny spot that my wife had to get out of the car for me to fit into.Now that we were in with our reservation, seated immediately, it's time to eat! They had carts and the inside felt old school wedding ready. It was fancy, but old fancy. There are some items that you have to order through the QR code on the table, like the honey walnut prawns, which we got and were pretty good even though the portion was small. They also got our party a high chair, but it took a little time.From the carts, the shrimp chow fun was good and the sauce the right boldness. The soup dumplings were good as well, not great though and it is unique in my experience that a cart place would offer soup dumplings in its offering. The service was good and coincidentally, there was a dumpling festival going on outside the restaurant in the lobby of the building.

This place is great! It has friendly staff and the service was great. I would recommend making reservations ahead of time since it gets busy fast! But I would recommend this place and would come again! We ordered jasmine tea, Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, steamed BBQ pork bun, shrimp dumpling, Shanghai Kurobuta pork dumpling, vegetable dumpling, sesame ball, and egg tarts to finish it off. It was all delicious and hot - would absolutely come again. I will say that the parking situation is hard - they have underground parking that shares with the rest of the Rincon Center, it's small and it was packed and there weren't any open parking spaces. So I would recommend parking on the street.
