CASH ONLY and great hole in the wall, ma & pa counter service Chinese and dim sum place. Don't expect much except for fresh cooked different Chinese food, authentic flavors and very kind service in broken English. Lots of elderly coming in, enjoying the porridge for breakfast. Steady business, only 5 tables. We asked the owners to put together a sample plate of Chinese lunch food for us along with some dim sum. Very generous and tasty portions of fried rice, eggplant and pork in black bean sauce. Shumai, shrimp dumplings and baked buns with char su. Also amazing fat chicken feet! Only utensils were reusable chopsticks. Two napkins each. The spicy chili sauce on the table had a kick and it was sweet! Total $26. Across the street from Bart Chinatown. Has to have been around for decades and the decor reflects that. Fast patient service. Cook came out to check us out. Will definitely be back to try the pork belly and noodles! read more

It's my first time visit this place. All food were leftovers. But I was hungry. Asked a plate of combo for $8.0. The server is very stingy. One slice of meat, two small cubes of tofu, and two tiny pieces of chicken. I was shocked by the quantity. The dish was cold and has to be microwaved. The food taste was awful. Hope I won't get sick. Don't go to that place! Don't Waste your money and spoil your mood to SF Chinatown! Never again for me! read more

Stopped by about an hour before closing and it was slim pickings, but I was still able to get some dim sum favs! 6 pork shumai, 6 shrimp dumplings, and 3 bbq pork buns = $16.10. Cash only. Although the shumai and dumplings were under a steamer, they were on the cold side by the time we reached the hotel (less than 10 minutes walk). Decent dim sum, especially for the price. read more

I live pretty close to this place so I've tried a lot of what they have to offer. Let's get down to brass tax. The best thing they do is the BBQ Pork Bun. They are cheap as heck and tasty as hell. The bun is sweet and soft. The pork is sweet and savory. It has a legitimate claim to best BBQ Pork bun out of a dim sum spot (All things considered with price and if it is fresh). The meet to bun ratio is righteous and you can slam like 3 of these in a hot second. They have your other typical dim sum offerings but take it from a guy whose had at least a couple of Pork Buns in china town, these things are addicting. (4.2 Stars) read more

Yummy Dim Sum - BBQ Pork Bun - Dim Sum Near Me - San Francisco, California

Best baked cha siu baos (bbq pork buns) that I've had in many years. Soft lightly glazed buns the size of my palm. The filling was perfectly seasoned. Nice ratio of filling to bun. The service was quite accommodating with knowledge of to the point English words to complete the transaction, I enjoyed the experience. read more

Nothing like two soft smooth flawless shrimp har gao and a plate of chicken feet for comfort/fast food en route to work on a chilly grey SF morning. The chicken feet could've been better seasoned and chewy/crispy (iykyk) but it satisfied me in a homier way this foggy day. Subtle spiced herbal aftertaste so A for effort. A stone's throw from the Ritz, Yummy understands the hole in the wall assignment. My dining companions were 7 foot stacks of Crystal Geyser and empty donut-shop-pink takeout boxes under a persistent fluorescent glow. The older woman explaining the inventory and taking my order was sweet and tried her best to pronounce $7.50 so I tipped an extra $0.50 for cuteness. read more

Good food for cheap. All the food was fresh and the fresh rice crepe was good. We saw them make it fresh there was good service

+Convenient--just a short walk from the bus stop. I really enjoyed their mini baked char siu baos and will definitely order 12 next time instead of 6! The thousand-year egg porridge was also fantastic not too watery or thick. This spot is a great place to try classic dim sum items at a Mom & Pop place, causal, eating tables onsite. I'll be back for sure. read more

This place has decent dim sum for a reasonable price. They actually post prices on the wall unlike some other places in Chinatown. I like the spareribs with rice noodles or over rice here. read more

Tasty dim sum. Ordered a few items to try and I was quite surprised how good they were

Low price medium quality. If you're hungry & don't have a lot of $, this is the place for you. You can easily have a meal for less than $10 here. It's cash, with no tax or tipping added so the price posted is the price. The food is large but medium quality. The seating is pretty divy. You come here for the price. Not for a date. read more

I ordered an order of sweet and sour pork and all I got is hard and dry fried flour dough mixed with pork fat. If lucky enough you might get a itsy bitsy piece of pork. Some of the pieces only contained flour. It was totally a disappointment and I felt cheated. I paid $9 for a box of fried dough. read more

This is apparently where the locals go for "fast food' type dim sum. Fast food and dim sum in the same sentence sound scary? Worry not my friends. Smallish, dive-ish, unassuming restaurant located off the main tourist streets in SF's Chinatown, Yummy turned out to be a fine spot to grab a super quick bite. My husband and I stopped in very late in the afternoon and Yummy still had quite a few options to choose from. Shrimp dumpling: cooked well, not rubbery or fishy at all; Pork dumpling: dense; tasty, very filling; Chicken feet: last plate - had to try - good flavor, not tough, meat fell off the tiny little toe bones. ;) Super friendly service! Sure they giggled when they noticed the hub and I only enjoyed one foot each...but it was cute, not insulting at all. And the price was right! Held us over until dinner, with a bottled water, for about 8 bucks! Keep an open mind, remember where you're at, respect the differences between your "norm" and that of others...and you will realize Yummy Dim Sum is actually just above A-OK. It's simple and serves it's purpose well. read more

This place is not fancy. If you want "fancy," go somewhere else. What you see is what you get - and that is what is amazing here. Because what you see is a Chinatown's daily eats destination, run by the same elders every single day, who serve you with TLC. They make dim sum, fast food plates, noodle soups, AND baked goods - all fresh daily, all out of this teeny tiny kitchen. I challenge you to find another place in America that cooks such diversity, consistently, in such a small space. I have so much respect for these folks. Also, to the reviewers who calls the service rude - dude you're in a Chinatown to-go spot. You're an ass to be expecting service with a smile. If you're a regular, they're super sweet to you tho. read more

Yummy Dim Sum and Fast Food- I got the Shrimp dumpling and another dumpling with chives. I enjoyed the Shrimp one although the dough was kind of heavy . The other dumpling however I didn't care for too much and couldn't even finish it. The ladies serving behind the counter were very patient and helpful to me so that was cool. Cheap, fast and ok food equals 3 star venue for me. read more

For a dim sum aficionado, this place was a real let down. The food isn't particularly tasty, and all the dumplings are mostly very thick dough. I tried standards like steamed har gow and baked cha shu bao. Also had siu mai and the meat was gristly and just not well seasoned. It's counter service only, with a few tables where you can eat or a lot of people do take away. On the flip side it is something of an experience--the aunties who run it are fun to watch and the old-school vibe of the place is interesting. read more

Somewhat disappointing. The har gow were mealy and no mi zi (chinese tamale thing) only had ground pork and one tiny slice of sausage. The shumai were ok though. read more

We got there on a Friday around 12 noon and stood in the line. It took about 20 minutes for us to get in the door. Once in, we tried to order but a lot of items were already sold out. We got chicken dim sum (good but half of it was cold as if the steam didn't get to it) and the pork dim sum (better than the chicken) The steamed pork bun was mostly bun; very little pork. As we were paying, the shrimp dim sum was being carried out to the counter, but when we tried to order, the lady gave us a stink eye and waved us out and began helping the next person. SIGH read more

This is not a fancy place, nor is it expensive place. This is one of those grab and go and no one ever eats inside except the regulars during pre-COVID time. For what one pays for dim sum, this is decent quality and taste. I will agree if comparing to a nicer sit-down dim sum place, this place can not compare at all. But since we are doing to go now with limited budget, this is a good place to grab some brunch on a Sunday morning. There are few ladies working the counter while some staff will bring in just-cooked pans for customers to order. We got some shrimp crepe roll, fried dough crepe roll, egg roll, and a to go lunch. Everything came under $13, and it was big enough portions for 2 people. The flavor can be saltier but since we eat light, this is good for us. The tough is thick but it is fine for the price. read more

Got off the 30 MUNI and had planned to head over to Good Mong Kok Bakery when I passed by this place. This place is fairly new and had forgotten what was here before. This is a dim sum/ cafe serving other hot foods too for those whom wanted to sit in. So I decided to get some of their food. The lady who was helping me was helping 2 other people at the same and mixed up my order. Of course I had to correct her, didn't want to pay for things I didn't want to eat. read more

Preface this by saying, don't expect Koi Palace quality dim sum here. Sometimes, when talking about street foods, it's about simplicity and pricing. Reading the numerous one and two-star reviews, they mostly talk about the cleanliness and health card score, but, hey, is this a concern for locals who flock to the night markets in the meccas of Hong Kong and Taiwan? That being said, if you are one to drink your tea/coffee with your pinky upright, then this place is not for you. You'll likely be standing in line with your grandfather's neighbor from the village rather than that young hipster texting or tweeting away. A friend recommended their baked BBQ pork bun, his daughter's favorite breakfast food; by the way, he lives in Burlingame! I've tried their beef and BBQ pork rice noodle crepe (cheung fun) which is okay not great, but, for $1.50, what would you expect? You can guess what the price would be if you walked six blocks to M.Y. China if they offered this. Bottom line is that it serves its purpose of satisfying the neighborhood in providing decent tasting food at inexpensive prices. So, if you don't want to stand in line at the bus stop dim sum place (Good Mongkok), this is definitely a solid alternative that's in my breakfast rotation. read more

Yummy Dim Sum - Baked bbq pork bun - Dim Sum Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is absolutely my go to place for dimsum when I'm in Chinatown. Except for the occasional rice porridge and long chinese donut fix, I practically always get my stuff togo from here. Given that, I cannot really opine on the dine-in experience here (though plenty of old aunties and uncles love chillin' out here with their plates). Seems kinda cramped, but I imagine I'd be too focused on my food to really care, lol. Location is ideal for me because 80% of the time I'm in SF I probably have some kind of business around Union Square so the proximity of this place from the gate is key- I don't have to trek too far into Chinatown to get my goods. Price is also great...unlike produce prices which tend to drop the further north you go down Stockton (or wait until later in the day), this spot has one of the cheapest prices for dimsum at $1.70-$1.90 per order. Yea, maybe not the suppppeerrr cleanest or fanciest place, but it serves its purpose for me- delicious consistent dimsum. Hargow always has a decent amount of fresh shrimp, and the siumai hardly ever has those chunks of gristle that some of the other dimsum places will mix into the pork mix. They also might not have as much variation on the other kinds of dimsum at all times, but the staples are pretty much always in stock. read more

I've eaten here many times. I usually eat the egg plant over rice plus the tofu. Sometimes I eat the salted fish and wonder if I will die because I know it is from China. I wouldn't take any of my friends here - and if you are looking for a good meal I would not suggest it, but there are reasons I eat here which I explain below. The place has a score of 50 of 100 for cleanliness. I'm not surprised. I enjoy watching these old gnarly guys shuffle out of the kitchen wearing filthy aprons and tired looks into the one restroom that is fed by a constant stream of workers and patrons. The tea comes in a styrofoam cup and is awful. The soup that comes with your meal is good... well, not really good, but worth drinking because it tastes pretty good. There is no heat in the winter and you can enjoy your food in the cold. Eat it quickly before it becomes cold too. I kept going back to watch the people. The people who served the food are nice to me - remembering that I was there before and always appreciated that I'd order in Chinese. A small thing, but I felt like I belonged in this crummy place. Do you have some secret thing you do that you'd rather no one knew about? Well, if you don't, you could come to Yummy Dim Sum for lunch once in a while and reflect upon your position in life, the lives of these people who prepare the food and those who patronize the place suffering through these cheap (but tasty!) lunches. I know, other reviews say it's not tasty. Well, don't order the dim sum and you will be okay... eat the egg plant and tofu. It's hard to screw that up and it's likely they make it fresh each day... but the dim sum - well, it may be from yesterday. One odd thing about this place is that the rice is always bad. I mean, it is consistently bad. Bad rice is rice that is cooked with too much water or rice that was cooked yesterday with too much water. Some Chinese like it that way - that my explain it. This hole-in-the-wall restaurant I went to for several years but did not know the name. I just knew it as "the place on the East side of Stockton street". Yesterday I snapped the attached photo so that I could know the name and write this review. I wouldn't even review it but I am obsessed with writing reviews of all the places I have eaten at. It's kind of like collecting baseball cards and looking real hard to find that card of the marginal player who was only with the team for two games. read more

Yummy Dim Sum - If you look at the sign, you can see that it changed hands and they gave it a new name. Food is same though. - Dim Sum Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm a shu mai junkie so looking for a new place in SF Chinatown stopped my Yummy's on Stockton. Prices are right - about $1.50 an order of 3. Bought 2 orders and some cha siu bau. Shu mai was OK. Not bad, not great. Bau was the same. They gave me someone's order and charged me for it. Ran me down on Stockton St and took back the extra item. No big deal,except since I dont speak Chinese wouldn't give me my money back. Probably only a buck or 2 so no big deal. Went again a couple of weeks later. Same mediocre food. And the they overcharged me again. Probably was the you're-Chinese--but-don't speak-Chinese-tax. Probably won't be back. Prices are good, food OK, be prepared to be be overcharged if you don't speak Chinese. read more
