Best SF Dim Sum
This San Francisco dim sum guide is for weekend brunch crews and anyone chasing a good dumpling, with stops in Chinatown, the Richmond District, North Beach, SoMa, downtown and Ghirardelli Square. Yank Sing, family-owned and still serving from rolling carts, suits a weekend brunch or special occasion. Dragon Beaux on Geary is known for truffle soup dumplings and charcoal sponge rolls. Palette Tea House turns out xiao long bao and swan-shaped taro puffs in a striking room. At Good Mong Kok Bakery there are no seats, just steamers of char siu bao and har gow to eat in nearby Portsmouth Square, and Osmanthus in North Beach welcomes dogs on its heated patio.
Weekend waits at Dragon Beaux run long, so arrive at opening. Good Mong Kok and Good Luck Dim Sum both favor cash.
