Delightful Dumplings and Great Chardonnay
I popped in for lunch and had a truly delightful experience. The restaurant offered a variety of delightful dumplings and dim sum, along with delicious fried rice. To complement the meal, I enjoyed a great bottle of Kistler Chardonnay.
The staff were very friendly, and I'd like to give a special thanks to Edgar for his excellent service.

Limited Options, Questionable Freshness
My experience at this restaurant, which seems to be a small Asian establishment, was mixed. During weekdays, it primarily caters to office workers. The food was just okay; some of the dim sum appeared to be delivery from other locations and was simply heated up, which made it wasn’t very fresh.
The variety of items was very limited, and most items were expensive. The atmosphere was rated low at 2, while service received a 4. Finding parking was somewhat difficult.

Impressive Dim Sum and Excellent Service
I visited Yank Sing for brunch with my father-in-law and we were both incredibly impressed. The food was absolutely delicious; every dim sum item was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can truly taste the high quality in every bite.
The service was also excellent – attentive, friendly, and efficient, even though the restaurant was busy. It was a truly great dining experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Yank Sing for anyone seeking top-notch dim sum and outstanding service!

Consistent Quality, Friendly Staff
My experience at this restaurant has been consistently amazing over the years. The quality of the food is always reliable, and I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be seated. Reserving online is also very easy.
The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making us and our little one feel very welcome. Thank you all! (Perhaps some background music would be a nice addition.)

Disappointing Dim Sum Experience
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. While the food was good and the price was fair, the limited menu was a major drawback. They lacked essential dim sum dishes like roasted duck, beef tripe, and congee, which I consider crucial for a complete dim sum meal.
Compared to other dim sum places within a 10-mile radius, this one is definitely not among the best. The most amusing aspect was the "health surcharge. " I believe it's the boss's responsibility, not the customer's, to cover insurance costs.
This 5% surcharge will likely lead to fewer tips from customers. Good job, boss, for helping customers save money. I will not be returning.

Upscale Dim Sum with Minor Drawbacks
My experience at this restaurant was for dim sum, and I found it to be a clean and tasty establishment. However, not everything was deeply impressive. The portions felt a bit small for the price, and some of the female staff members came across as a little brusque.
Considering the expensive price compared to other dim sum places, I rated it by fine-dining standards. It's definitely an upscale restaurant, but it doesn’t quite reach the level of the very top establishments. It was only mentioned by Michelin back in 2016.

Fabulous Dim Sum, Incredible Staff!
My experience at this restaurant has been consistently wonderful for 15 years. The dim sum is fabulous, and I appreciate the vegetarian options which are clearly labeled. The manager and staff are incredible, making every visit a pleasure.
It's a place I continue to return to year after year.

Authentic Dim Sum Delight
My experience at this restaurant was reliably good and authentic. The dim sum, served HK-style with servers rolling carts and explaining their offerings, made my mouth water just writing about it. The food was outstanding, and the service was terrific.
They also offer nice shaded outdoor seating in addition to the dining room. It's a go-to lunch place for us whenever we visit San Francisco.
