Amazing food and staff is incredibly nice! Such incredible value for the portion sizes and I'm definitely coming back. What a fantastic dimsum experience! read more

3.5 stars, but definitely a 5-star value. Broadway Dim Sum Cafe is a small mom-and-pop shop that offers no-frills dim sum. It's good, it's cheap, and it's fast: five bucks goes a long way here. The locals line up here throughout the day, whether it's the students on the way to/from school or the senior citizens taking a break from their endless games of Go. For the tourist, it's the perfect pit stop as you explore the North Beach and Chinatown neighborhoods. You won't say it's the best dim sum you've ever had, but it's filling and easy food to eat on the go. read more

Good, authentic food that is relatively quick to come out to the table. There is a variety of dim sum and entrée options proving good for the whole family/group. Communication is a little rough but that is expected being in Chinatown SF. The canned sodas were expired and the waitresses didn't come check on you as often as you would typically prefer, but overall it was a good experience. read more

Cutting through Chinatown and hungry. Are you kidding me? $1.60 for three dim sum. What a deal and delicious.

How do I start this review?... I have no idea. This place used to be good for to go lunch boxes before ownership changed. HOWEVER, today's experience was not what I expected. Ordered spare rib rice to go. The nice lady in the front says it will be ready within 10 minutes. I was also urging to try their Shrimp Har Gow. They looked really really good. For 4 pieces, it was $4.25. Ok, I'll give it a try. So I got home...... -- (3 out of 5) Spare Rib Rice: More rice than spare ribs. Rice is bland and hard. Spare Rib barley has tender juiciness. Lettuce was the only thing that was good.. I could go to Original Bakery on Powell and get more genuine Spare Rib Rice than this place.... -- (2 out of 5) Shrimp Har Gow: THE WORST Har Gow's I have ever eaten in my life. It was doughy and nasty. 4 pieces for $4.25? That's roughly $1.06 for one Har Gow! THIS PLACE HAS SOME NASTY HAR GOWS! I could go to Good Mong Kok on Stockton and get better Dim Sum than this! -- Customer Service: 3.5 out of 5 As a Chinese American, This place seems like a fraud. Maybe, just maybe the chefs are new and don't know the food yet. This place is fairly new anyways since it changed ownership. Overall, I will give it a second chance and come back to retry their food. Yeah the food is unpleasant but maybe the chefs are new. I don't know. But I normally encourage myself to give people (in this case; this place) a second chance. read more

That was a fine experience last week, dishes there were cheap and make me satisfied . I had the twice cooked pork dish, siu mai and salt pepper chicken wings. The dim sum as I remembered was made of pork, it doesn't taste like some other chinese restaurants' swaggy , although I believe they impose the dim sum not home made, it tastes good. Rice cooks well. The salt pepper wings doesn't have so much feature, below normal cause it's kind of hard, meat was stiff. read more

For a small, modest restaurant the food here was surprisingly very flavorful and good. We particularly liked the lamb chop which was tasty and tendor. We also liked the beef with string beans and beef black bean chow fun. An added plus was the waitress was very good and attentive to our needs. read more

Super cheap dim sum place across the street from You's Dim Sum. Broadway Dim Sum has pretty much everything You's has but a bit cheaper in price, a bit lower in quality, and they actually have english translations of their menu. Some of my fave's: 3 egg custard tarts for $1.80! 60¢ chicken buns (like a pork bun, but with chicken, a little chinese sausage, and some egg inside) $1.50 congee! I dig their stuff and if you show up in the late afternoon they have special deals on their older stuff. Broadway's quality is not quite up to You's but it's just as good as Eastern Bakery and a bit cheaper. Check it out! read more

We appreciated that this restaurant only filled some of their tables and made sure we were at least 6 feet away from the next party. The food was good, and the service was fantastic! They really went the extra mile for us and even made us something that wasn't listed on the menu because we wanted it. They boxed up our leftovers for us and insisted on sending more stuff with us on the house. It was a nice experience! read more

I should've checked the Yelp review before buying food from this place. Terrible food and service ! I will never come back again . So I went in there , the dim sum are $2.10 for three pieces of dim sum. I asked the server if I can buy $1 or $2 of the fried noodle she said the minimum are $3 for one pound. Which is quite expensive in Chinatown. But anyways i have decided to get one pound of noodle plus three piece of dim sum. End up paying $5.10 I was counting 10 pennies infront of the server and I hand it to her but she said they do not accept pennies. But the thing is , I was counting infront of her she didn't say anything until I hand it to her and she was yelling at me because of the 10 pennies. So I argue back , asking if 10 pennies are still money and they did not have a sign specifically saying they do not accept coin currency. Anyways , speaking about the food ; it was cold and I ordered the pork Siu Mai . It was cold and the meat are raw. Also the fried noodles are super cold , and it was not chewy at all. I could not even finish the noodles because it was too cold and raw. read more

OMG, we love this place! Every single time we travel to San Francisco, we eat here at least 3 times. The service may not be the friendliest, especially when you are the only non-Asian couple in the place....but, the prices are great and the food is delicious, so we just deal with it...remember the soup Nazi on the Seinfeld show? Well it's kind of like that, but the treatment isn't quite as harsh. Our faves are the seafood chow mein (covered with big fresh shrimp, fish, squid, stir fried veggies), the stir fried eggplant, and the fresh blended watermelon juice/bubble (boba) drink with sweet tapioca pearls at the bottom (sad to say we can't get it anywhere that we know of in Miami, which is probably a good thing for our blood sugar :). Almost everything we've tried there has been awesome, and the prices can't be beat. Even the mango tofu pudding was delicious...we honestly were not expecting to like it, but we loved it. read more

This place is absolutely repulsive. The lady literally has a microwave next to her to heat up all the food and is not ashamed of using it in front of the costumers. The food is old, and literally there are flies infesting all the containers. This place is a health hazard- AVOID AT ALL COST read more

Was looking for the closest Dim Sum place to take some food home. (There's SO many Dim Sum spots here but we randomly chose this one.) The dining area was closed off due to Covid. So this is a takeout visit. I went in around 7pm-ish. I honestly think the prices for the dishes were very good prices for a good amount of food. Because if you know me, my fatass always complains about expensive prices with very tiny amount of food. The lady working there said if we want anything of the Dim Sum menu, it'd be up to a 10 minute wait. She was very friendly, so the vibes there was pleasant. When I got home to taste the food.... I think the food was so flavorful. Sweet & Sour chicken over rice, steam pork bun, beef chow fun with black bean sauce. As a person who really loves salty food, these items really satisfied my taste buds. My only complaint was about the beef chow fun with black bean sauce, I thought it'd be kind of drenched with the black bean sauce but it mainly looked like they just threw the black beans on the dish. So it seems very dry. But I still loved the taste. Overall, with how flavorful the dishes were, it made me want to look forward to trying out more dishes from them in the future when I am nearby. Idk, there's many Dim Sum spots in the area so who knows? I hope to check em out & make reviews of those too. As a new Yelper, writing this review made me realize I should've took photos of the food even though it was in clear takeout boxes. Forgot as I took em home. Idk. Taking notes of my mistakes! read more

Hella cheap and pretty good. Where else can u get walnut prawns for $5. Our new Chinese crave spot!

This is Under New Management and the food is outstanding. Chicken, Veggies and Mushroom over steam rice; Steam Spareribs over steam rice; and Congee chicken all these are usually between (9am to 12pm) breakfast items. Pork Fried rice, Beef Chow Fun, Sweet and Sour Spareribs which are very tender, Seafood Pan Fried Noodles, Their veggies are usually daily fresh and food I would like to recommend is Braised Meatball with soy sauce no one can make it like them all these foods I mentioned are very reasonable price and portion. read more

Be careful when you order party tray to go here. I order 10 pounds of noodles, they make 20 pounds and make me pay because the food is already made. This is not the first time they tricked me. Be careful when u order over the phone or even in the store. Personally. I will never come back here. read more

Big mound of ground raw pork on a table top in the seating area greeted us once in the store. Unfortunately, we had already ordered and paid for a few pork dumplings --the insides of which looked very much like the 5-10 pounds raw ground pork on the table beside us. We left without eating. read more

My family likes to visit "hole in the wall" restaurants when we visit Chinatown. This trip we erred big time with this choice. You order up front and then take your food and seat yourself. We ordered several dishes and took our dishes to find all of the tables were extremely dirty, as were most of the chairs. A mirror on one wall was covered with dirty finger and had prints, obviously not cleaned in several days or more. Unfortunately we ordered two of the rice noodle rolls with shrimp. We all tried the rolls and unanimously agreed that they were bad, the shrimp tasted spoiled. My wife, who speaks cantonese returned one order and the remains of the second and voiced our concerns. The woman working there said the items were freshly made and there was nothing wrong with them. She offered nothing, no refund, no substitute, etc. My wife returned to our dirty table and we finished the remainder of our meal which was okay. While eating the woman, approached our table and harassed my wife about the dishes and said that the sauce was different that normal and that was probably what we did not like. My wife again said, no, the shrimp were bad. Again, the woman offered no apology, or compensation and her approaching us were totally uncalled for and rude. When we finished and were leaving, the woman had the audacity to yell at us to clean our table! The dirty restaurant, serving of spoiled shrimp, and the unsympathetic attitude of the owner/operator, and the added unwarranted harassing attempt to justify her bad attitude all contributed to this review. I would avoid this "cafe" at all cost! read more

Should have read Yelp reviews before walking in to this place. Food was alright, not fantastic but service was terrible. We ordered some youtiao that was $2.50 and it came cold. I took a bite and told the server it was cold and could they please replace it. He said "but you've already eaten it" and I said "exactly that's why I could tell it's cold. Did you want me to touch it with my fingers and give it back to you so you could serve other customers?" And that dish probably cost $0.20 since it's just flour. He actually went to ask his boss about whether he could replace it, grudgingly came back with a replacement and said no more next time otherwise they will lose money - as if he was doing me a huge favor and I should be grateful for it. Will not go there again. read more

Very cheap food, and you get what you pay for. Whenever I want to get some quick, cheap dim sum I come here. The food inspection score is disturbingly low, but sometimes you have to live on the edge. read more

Food is cheap and even cheaper near closing. But it would be difficult for me to patronize a business where someone (I believe the owner) picks her teeth with her finger while she is behind the counter. During another visit she would use tongs to grab the food while touching the food with the other hand. Why bother using the tongs? The cocktail buns are missing the two lines of glazing that is traditionally found across the top. I think the food is watered down. Basically you get what you pay. read more
