In Short – This large SoMa restaurant, though a bit dated with its sea foam green walls and vinyl-backed chairs, draws a steady stream of local families and area professionals for its daily dim sum. The menu offers an extensive selection of the bite-sized delicacies, including standards such as shrimp-stuffed mushrooms and exotic options like shark's fin dumplings and crystal chicken feet. A connected storefront on Hawthorne accommodates a downtown lunch crowd with a cafeteria-style to-go counter.

Cheap and Delicious!
by komdohree at Citysearch
The restaurant is easily accessible by bus (if you're a tourist, like I was) and it's just a block away from the Museum of Modern Art (if you're interested).
Even though it was rather quiet, and there were only a few dim sum carts moving around (I was there on a weekday afternoon), the dim sum were all so delicious and fresh! I loved everything I ate, especially the Char Siew Bao (Cha Shao Bao). So good! The servers and manager were very friendly and attentive, so that was a big plus.
Best of all, the dim sum was extremely low-priced. Most of the choices are below $3, but make sure to ask before eating them if you're unsure.
You'll love it here.
- Pros: Affordable
