I’d give Yank Sing four stars but since it’s so popular, you can’t linger over your food. One of my favorite things to do is have a nice lunch with a good book to read; you can’t do that in Yank Sing. That said, their food is some of the best that I’ve had and it’s the place that I take visitors to but be sure to get there early. The lines around noon are long!
For years, Hang Ah was one of my favorite places to do. I liked the clean utilitarian dining room and the alley itself is full of the history of Chinese in SF. However, the last time I took somebody there (2 years ago), I felt that the dim sum was substandard and the noodles far too oily.
