"San Francisco takes dim sum seriously. This city is lucky to be home to some of the best Cantonese restaurants in the country. Generally, they fall into three categories: takeout-friendly bakeries good for filling up containers with freshly steamed dim sum to go, high-end places that get creative (think colorful xiao long bao or taro puffs shaped like swans), and old-school institutions with roving dim sum carts."
"The orange awning outside of Good Mong Kok acts like a lighthouse beacon, signaling to the neighborhood that it's a dim sum destination. The sign is clearly working-people line up outside of this shoebox-sized Chinatown bakery daily for their generously stuffed char siu bao and pillowy pineapple buns. The big steamers by the window and the pastry cases are refilled constantly since items get snatched up just as fast."
San Francisco is home to some of the best Cantonese restaurants in the country and takes dim sum seriously. Dim sum establishments in the city generally fall into three categories: takeout-friendly bakeries, high-end creative restaurants, and old-school institutions with roving dim sum carts. Takeout bakeries like Good Mong Kok draw long lines for char siu bao, pineapple buns, and constantly replenished steamers and pastry cases. Historic restaurants such as Yank Sing offer signature cart service and consistent dishes like xiao long bao, steamed barbecue pork buns, and scallop siu mai. Luxurious venues like Dragon Beaux provide elaborate dining rooms and over-the-top feasts.
