Worth It
The gold standard of dim sum in SF
Yank Sing is dim sum at its finest—consistently perfect har gow, siu mai, and char siu bao pushed around on carts in a bright, elegant space. Yes, it's pricier than Chinatown spots, but the quality is unmatched. The Peking duck is exceptional if you can splurge. Weekend brunch gets packed, so arrive early or book ahead.
