    The fastests, most courteous service. But best of all was the FOOD! Our guests were duly impressed and of our three day stay in San Francisco, they said this was the BEST meal. I plan to return again and again!

    Yank Sing used to be a staple in both quality and service. Such a delight going there for over 20 years. The previous owner used to meticulously would test the cooking conditions, steamers, and food that would go out to ensure quality. Recently returned to discover the variety of dishes and dim sum significantly diminished, food was equally cold as the outside ambiance, and the cart service biased and selective to whatever is in front of them. The tea selection and signature chili condiment is still delicious. Understand times do change and Yank Sing might cater to a new audience. Yank Sing used to share the delight of proper Cantonese faire to those new and experience of the cuisine. I just hope they can regain some of that magic from before.

    Yank Sing offers a pricier dim sum experience, but it's worth every penny with great selection and taste. Most of the times you can decide whether to eat inside or be seated in the building hall, which is not as cozy but still a pleasant setting, especially when the Christmas decorations are up. A must-try is their sesame balls dessert—a perfect blend of crispy and sweet. Overall, a reliably delicious choice for a good meal in the city.

    I’m a die-hard Yank Sing fan (been coming since I was a kid, starting at the Broadway location) but was sad to experience the changes. Fingers crossed it was solely because of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, although we’ve not a a problem on holidays before. They’ve limited the menu (pretty much the same as Yank Sing 2 Go but add soup dumplings) and there were very few carts making the rounds. All the tables were in the atrium and the restaurant was closed, as was the inside bathroom. Service was slow in spite of not too many diners. The few dishes we had tasted as they should although half were barely room temperature. The usual favorites (and clean bathroom) were sorely missed!

    Our family has been going to Yank Sing on a frequent basis for decades and many times it is for some type of celebration. We went Sunday to celebrate my mother‘s 85th birthday. Although we love the restaurant, we never sit out in the foyer as it is Never as good as being inside the dining room. We had no idea until arriving that the dining room was closed for some reason and all seating was out in the foyer. As usual, Service in the foyer is average at best. Most food items are lukewarm I think because they are so far away from the kitchen. The ambience is always noisy and we were extremely cold requiring all of us to continue to wear our jackets. Service in general is much slower than inside the dining room because of how far they need to push the carts making it seem like there are less workers than normal. we will probably continue to go in the future because it is really the best in town but this experience left us feeling very disappointed. They should have communicated before accepting reservations that their restaurant was under some type of renovation or closed for whatever reason. We do not live in San Francisco and had to travel quite a while to get there And knowing the status of the restaurant and where we would be dining, we would’ve definitely selected another restaurant to celebrate my mother‘s 85th birthday. As stated, we will probably return again but we will now more than ever consider whether or not it is worth the trip and if you have never been there, it is not an inexpensive option but normally the high price is justified by great service, quality food in good ambience. This was not the case on Sunday.

    It’s definitely overpriced but decent food. Was about $40 pp with two of our party barely eating ( kids). Bummed they didn’t have baked bbq buns on this holiday weekend.The setting is in the lobby of an office bldg -it’s vast but wouldn’t call it nice. The one item that was excellent was their sesame balls.

    We have been coming here for almost as long as they have been open. This is the first time we were disappointed. To begin with, our reservation time was not honored. We waited almost a half hour. When we were finally seated, they rushed at us with several carts at the same time. Since we don’t eat everything at the same time, half the food was cold by the time we ate it. After the initial onslaught, it was almost impossible to get another cart to come over, in spite of our frantic waving and requesting. In the end we just gave up, ate far less than we had planned and left unsatisfied. Also several of the dishes we did have had very little taste. We will think twice before returning.

    The restaurant had my reservation with OpenTable. They seated us before all my party arrived because I had my elderly mother-in-law. The food came out on carts pushed by women. The food was of average quality. The empty dishes/plates weren't clear off quickly, so we had to stacked them.

    Miss the fountain. A little chilly sitting outside the restaurant but at 10;45 AM seating outside was plentiful. The dim sum was very good as usual. We set a high bar for Yank Sing based on previous dining experiences. Like everything else, prices have risen but at least on Sunday the parking was free. And for special family outing, we all enjoyed the dining experience Sunday. A terrific shared dining experience.

    Have been repeating customers but not sure if will continue to be repeating customers. At least 2 items were on the "off-chart" salty side: beancurd roll and green beans. Food quality/quantity did not measure up to price structure. Bill came on a machine with lots of miscellaneous charges and fees plus tips, bill paying process was rushed and inconvenient. It was a birthday celebration, sorry to say, a disappointing occasion.

    This is the second time we have been sat at the same table. I believe table 13 on the corner. We had to flag the carts down to get food and ask for something to drink. If they sit us there again. We will refuse to sit at that table again. Once we did get food , it was great as usual.

    Yank Sing is a San Francisco tradition. I really love dim sum, and the dim sum here is very good, and they are one of the few restaurants that still use carts to display your choices. Unfortunately, several of our choices were not hot - apparently they were on the cart for too long and cooled off. When you have tepid dim sum, the rice wrapping becomes harder and sticky. At Yank Sing prices, I expect better. Was disappointed this time.

    The dim sum is the best in Northern California--we drive 70 miles to eat there. Sadly, the menu has been reduced somewhat. Crowding the space which also overwhelmed their wait staff made us very disappointed and uncomfortable. But the major problem ever since the move to Rincon Center is the design of the parking garage. We usually were able to get valet parking, but it was not offered this time. It took several tries to fit our car into the small space.

    We arrived 10 minutes early for our reservation and were greeted pleasantly and were escorted to a table even though there was a line to get in. Upon sitting at our table we were greeted by a dim sum cart ready to serve us, GREAT service. Although it was a little loud we were still able to hold our own conversation comfortably. Yank Sing is a great establishment with great food and great service. Thank you Yank Sing and thank you open table for easy access to make reservations GREAT APP
