Located in the Rincon Center, this classic dim sum spot serves an extensive menu of expertly made dumplings and small plates in a stylish, airy setting.
"Since 1958, Yank Sing has become one of the city’s most well-known spots for dim sum. This third-generation, family-owned restaurant gives patrons a classic dining experience at both of its locations, but the Spear Street spot has proven to be more popular. Hail a push cart brimming with bamboo steamers and get your pick from over 100 rotating dishes, from barbecue pork buns to the Shanghai kurobuta pork dumplings to the scallop ball skewers." - Lena Park, Eater Staff
"Yank Sing is an upscale dim sum restaurant with two locations in San Francisco. Known for its high-quality dim sum experience, it has become a must-visit for those seeking traditional dim sum in the city." - Tim Newcomb
"The main draw of bringing your entire family to Yank Sing—aside from the dim sum, obviously—is the fact that the connected Rincon Center Atrium is a contained place for kids to run free while the adults take a load off in the restaurant. The Chinese spot in SoMa has solid BBQ pork buns, siu mai, and chow fun—all great things to preoccupy yourself with while pretending you’re not related to the kid yelling “Skibidi toilet!” at the top of their lungs." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"Yank Sing is the city’s most famous dim sum spot—it’s been around since 1958 and draws huge crowds, especially at the larger Spear Street location inside the Rincon Center. It’s a classic we love, and coming here is a quintessential SF dining experience. Once inside, metal push carts with bamboo steamers will whiz past you, and you’ll have your pick of everything from generously stuffed pork and Napa cabbage dumplings to plump scallop siu mai. Get one of everything and don’t hold back." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"You got a sweet offer for a new gig, but your manager’s manager doesn’t want to lose you, so they’re going to try to win you back with a conversation over lunch. Might as well see what they have to say and get a good meal out of it in the process. Have them take you to Yank Sing in Soma for dim sum. If you like what they’re saying, keep ordering more soup dumplings. And if you don’t, keep ordering anyway and maybe get some pork buns, too." - will kamensky
