One thing I like about this place is they open a little later than most of the takeout dim sum spots nearby, so I can still grab some dim sum after work. I've been here a few times nwo and my favorites are the wo tip (pan fried dumplings) and the shrimp har gow. I also really like the lo mai gai (chicken sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf). It's a good value and tastes great, especially with the hot sauce on the table. I didn't care much for their shumai though because the texture was a little too mushy for me. It's cash only spot like most of the other dim sum places around here in the city. They have tables inside as well if you want to sit down and chow down. Let them know if you are and they will warm up the food for you. read more

Inflation has hit here too. The chicken combination bun now $3.95. It's a meal in itself. Inside you'll find pieces of chicken, a slice of hard boiled egg, a piece of shiitake mushroom, a piece of Chinese sausage. It's best to eat it the same day. If not the same day, either steam it or wrap a wet towel around it and microwave it to reheat. Whenever I've got appointments on this side of town I'll come by just for the chicken combination bun. read more

Wing Lee Bakery - Chicken Combination Bun - Dim Sum Near Me - San Francisco, California

Service was fast. Jook was hot and thick. It had decent amount of pork and pieces of thousand year old egg in it. It could have a little more seasoning. Wish it came with some white pepper. read more

after trying several of the dim sum spots on clement, im going to declare this as the best for the basic. i had their hargow/shrimp and shu mai pork/shrimp steamed dim sum and they were both perfect and flavorful. it was pillowy and warm to the taste which was important. cold dim sum is sad!! it's pretty busy during random rush hours like breakfast and lunch, so be wary of the queue and how it moves. the ladies are fast paced and will ring you up before you can second guess your order LOL i love it! they are cash only so please hit the ATM down the block for that. read more

My go to for thousand egg pork porridge. So much duck eggs in there. This morning I must be hungry, I was eyeing on the egg roll to dunk it into the porridge. Got big steam bun literally translation: dai bao." Got bits of Chinese mushroom, section of Chinese sausage egg and chicken. Today is dragon boat day. Had to buy Chinese tamales, one mung bean (lok dou) and peanut. Wrapped in leaf, shaped like 3 D triangle. Inside sticky rice almost same filling as big bun but this may have salted egg and piece of pork belly. The lady servers are super fast and efficient. They always smile! read more

This is one out of three of my go-to places on Clement Street for cheap dim sum. It's a small place for takeout mostly with only a couple tables inside. The ladies here speak minimal English so it helps if you know Chinese or are just very clear when pointing out what you want. Most of the standard items are 3 pieces for $3.95. Their Pork Sew Mai are always a safe bet and the Shrimp Gow are not bad but the skin is a little thick. A lot of people come for the big and fluffy Steamed Buns ($2.20 each). I usually get BBQ pork but they also have chicken and veggie options. Overall the quality here is pretty good for a dim sum fix. Just remember they're cash only and charge for bags if you don't bring your own. read more

Dim sum Not sure how this place gets 4 stars. My usual Good Luck is closed so I took a chance here. Everything was bland. Har gow filling was mushy. The rice wrapping is a nice medium thickness. Beef ball was also mushy and had no flavor. My tongue can feel the excessive starch that they added. The last thing I had was the tofu skin wrap which is basically a Chinese mini burrito filled with vegetables and covered with sauce. 7 /10 rating. Would be better if just a tad bit warmer. Still lacked proper seasoning. However, their attached BBQ meat market next door is solid and consistent. read more

Convenient and easy. We were on our way through town and unfortunately our usual dim sum pickup was closed for some reason. Some quick google and Yelp searching on route brought us here which was a short trip outside the beaten path. The parking leaves a bit to be desired but it is SF after all. We stopped by the BBQ as well as the bakery since they were right next to each other and both were quick once we got to the window. We were able to pick up a couple of plates as well as some dim sum to go. Staples from dim sum were turnip cakes, taro dumplings, jook, and wrapped sticky rice. No egg custard tho unfortunately. We also grabbed plates from next door for good measure. Everything was cooked well, flavors hit the mark, and we were able to do recovery the rest of the weekend. Added on my list for inexpensive pickups in the city. read more

I got a baked bbq pork bun and really enjoyed it. The bread was slightly sweet and the filling was very flavorful and one of the most red fillings I've had. It cost $2.40, which is middle of the road compared to other places I've been. They are cash only and have seating so you can eat there or take the food to go. read more

Wing Lee Bakery - Baked bbq pork bun - Dim Sum Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came here as a stop on a dim sum crawl through Inner Richmond- this spot was definitely one of the highlights! Got the bean curd rolls (had noodles, veggies, including baby corn inside), har gow (probably the best on this street I've had), and the chicken skewer (might have been the best thing we ate this day- 100% coming back for this). The chicken thigh was extremely tender and crispy on the outside, and spiced with five spice, etc resulting in a lot of flavor. Like many spots in this area, you wait in line then order at the counter, and there are some tables inside you can eat at if you want which is nice. In addition to the amazing quality and flavors of the food here, the prices are super reasonable! read more

OMG! Yep! Come hungry, bring cash leave happy! Was so happy to come and experience this it's definitely worth going and trying. Very authentic food and was so delicious. We picked up the food on our way out from the city on our way to Oakland and it kept very well in the car for the 40 minute drive we had. The service is fast and efficient. They don't always have everything and they can sell out of certain things very quickly so keep that in mind make sure that you have backups. It's better just to order extra food because it will taste good later. The ambience of the place is great. It's very easy walk in order walk out. I absolutely will be back here again. The next time I'm in the city. read more

I was on a hunt for joong and in the past, really liked their din sum. They sold out of regular ones and only had the green bean ones. The filling was scanty and it tasted bland, even tho it was a good size. I think the green bean joongs are better at Good Mong Kok in Chinatown. Pictured on right is the green bean joong. The left is the regular peanut pork one from Wing Lee down the street. The pork siu mai here is very good tho, got an order of the siu mai which comes with 3 pieces. read more

Anytime I see a line it peaks my interest to know more. So, even tho we had just ate lunch, I joyfully jumped in line to get a sampling assortment for later. And since "Good Luck" down the street was closed, this place looked like one of the most happening places on the block! Absolutely delighted with the vegetarian bean curd roll. They were plump and tasty. Think of them as a wrapped pocket of monks jai. Not as impressed with the other two items bought today. The skin on the shrimp dumpling har gao was very thick. Filling lacking taste. The potstickers also had a thick skin. Filling consisted of pork and vegetables and while not the best, they were tasty. Would order again. Will be back to try other items from this take out place. read more

Wing Lee is an old school Dim Sum take out restaurant. The food there is excellent. The siu mai and har gao are well made and delicious. The steamed pork buns are wonderful with nice pork filling. I notice that the new comers to sf are a bit dumb about ordering. Orders have 3 pieces each. Don't be a newbie and ask for one piece. Act like a real San Franciscan not a San Fran or Cisco dude. And by the way tip the ladies at the counter. They work hard. The food is good and inexpensive. Don't be a cheap dbag. read more

Quality/Quantity - In their defense, we got here late afternoon on Father's Day Holiday and as expected, there were slim pickings. Good thing my guest is not too picky. Got a bunch of dim sum and some porridge. Atmosphere - Small, a mainly to-go place. A few tables and seating. Open 7 days a week from 8am to 7pm. Metered street parking, good luck. Service - Good. Price - $30, I guess that is the going rate for what we got. Clement Street is fairly competitive, so I am assuming the prices reflect that...? I honestly did not even look at the prices, because if you are following, we just did a 7 hour drive from Reno back to the Bay. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success for what I believe 20+ years. read more

Wing Lee is a regular stop for us in the Richmond. We picked up 3 steamed chicken buns, 3 bbq pork buns, 4 potstickers and 3 sesame balls - all for 20$. I usually go by 10am to avoid lines. Street parking is metered and fills up quickly. They are cash only and takeout only. The menu is straightforward, and the women working there are always nice and helpful.

My egg tart had mold on the crust. Purchased this afternoon. I didn't notice until after I ate 3/4 of it. I have not had issues with the food or service in the past. For mold to grow, it must have been sitting around for a long while. They must have known it was old but still sold it. I will not be returning read more

Delicious no nonsense dim sum à la cart. Clement Street presents a genuine San Francisco experience. Fellow patrons were relaxed, and smiling. Hard-working staff were business like yet gracious. Food was economical, tasty and ready to eat. Chicken skewers and barbecue pork steamed bun were the highlight. read more

This has been a staple in my family for many years. My parents used to come get dim sum to bring home from here all the time. I stopped in recently to pick-up 30 har gow and 30 siu mai (10 orders each) for a potluck. The ladies there are always friendly and fast. Some other favorites I enjoy there are the taro dumplings (not usually available at other Chinese bakeries) and the sticky rice bao. Prices have gone up quite a bit but still worth every penny in my opinion. read more

BBQ pork buns have burnt pork in them these days. But their other items are still very good! Been in here for years. Very nice people. But the pork buns are not good lately because of the burned pork with burnt pieces from their pot! It's not bbq. So I have to throw away the pork and just eat the bread part which is good. read more

The workers there are so nice and helpful. Very friendly even though they don't speak a lot of English. Lots of yummy dim sum!

No to the fishy rubbery tasting hargow aka shrimp dumping! I will only go here for their sesame balls with red bean pasted.

Quick classic cash-only dim sum on Clement. Fast, easy and consistent. Cue up and either eat in or take away. Favorites here for savory include their har gow (shrimp dumpling), the shrimp dumpling with boiled leeks, their bean cake, and for sweet, the light, chewy coconut and peanut mochi balls or the crisp sesame balls with bean paste. A quick stop here hits the spot when shopping and walking on Clement, a solid 3.5. read more

So many good items here. Congee (Chicken Jook), BBQ pork buns, dim sum. Everything is fresh

After having lived in the inner Richmond for over half a year, this is still our go to spot for dim sum! They always get their siu mai just right and the har gow/chives har gow so delicious! We also enjoy the baos, chicken skewer, Chinese sausage bun, and sweets. Service is great and they'll always get you through the line quickly, just what we need at a takeout spot! They also reopened their dine in option for those who prefer that, there are a few tables inside, but there is no table service! read more

Been coming here for years! Their dim sum is your typical dim sum which are very good! But their steam and baked bbq pork buns are excellent with a good amount of fillings! Also their large steamed chicken buns are very delicious and also has a good amount of chicken! The lady servers are very nice and not pushy! They actually looks like they enjoy working and helping people! Only downside that they don't have chicken feet and shrimp crepe which my wife really likes but not a deal breaker! read more

I grew up going to Wing Lee Bakery. As a child, my mom enrolled me into "Score" as an after school program a block away, and she would always take me to Wing Lee after it was done. It's been almost 30 years of coming here, and the food is still the same as I remember. The prices definitely is a bit higher, but paying about $4 for an order of 3 dim sum items is still more cost efficient than eating out. They recently reopened their indoor eating space, since it was closed due to COVID in the past few years. They have about 4 tables where you can sit to enjoy your food with soy sauce and hot sauce provided on the table. It's definitely nice as a grab and go. My favorites here are their steamed baos, pork siu mai, ha gow (shrimp dumpling), banana custard mochi (they don't always have this though), and their lotus wrapped sticky rice. They're cash only, and I recommend going early in the day because they get packed later in the mornings into the afternoon. read more

Very nice lady and her husband. Highly recommend the zhong zi, skip the hot dog bun unless you're going to consume it immediately because it's microwave heated. Cute shop, if you speak Chinese it's a plus. Make sure to tip because they're family run. read more

Great dim sum for solid prices. Visited during late lunch time, and the wait wasn't too bad. Be sure to bring cash, since they don't take card. There's a big variety of menu items you can order to go. I got the shrimp dumplings and shu mai. Both were juicy and tasty. The portion is generous, and they're rich with meat inside. They are great with black vinegar and a side of cucumbers. The BBQ chicken skewers are also flavorful. There's a smoky, sweet taste to the tender chicken. I like the slices of grilled veggies in them. A bit oily, but overall pretty good. read more

This place has such good authentic dim sum for such a good price! We ordered boxes and boxes of food and maybe spent $12 per person. Make sure to bring cash though!! To order, you stand in line and order at the counter, which has all the dim sum on display. The workers speak some English which is great for poor Chinese speakers like me lol! We got a huge assortment of dim sum, from dumplings to big pork buns to sew mai. Some notable ones were the baked BBQ pork buns (steamed ones are too doughy and not meaty enough) and the big pan fried potstickers. The taro dumpling was interesting, I had never had anything like it before but I liked it. The pineapple bun was disappointing because there wasn't any filling in it. There are some tables to eat at in the back of the restaurant, but I think people usually take their food to go. I will definitely be back for more yummy dim sum in the future!! read more

First time trying their dim sum and this is definitely worth a recommendation. We ordered: (2 orders) potstickers- very good! Packed with meat and veggies in a nice, thick and chewy dough (2 orders) tofu skin wrap with noodles (stuffed bean curd)- doesn't sound appealing but it is very good! Try it! Stuffed sticky rice- two varieties. One included plain sticky rice with Chinese sausage and egg yolk, and the other was more flavorful which included sauce. Never had these before and I would order it again. read more
