Friendly dim sum place - no peking duck at this location, but everything else good - service, food etc - no longer the leader when compared to other dim sum restaurants- but good marks across the board

All of the food here is top notch very delicious. All of the staff is friendly and smiling. Restaurant is always clean. I love Yak Sing I definitely recommend I always come back

The food was amazing. Must try. The service was fast and welcoming. The ambiance was as you would expect from a small eatery with great food.

We're visiting family in San Francisco and ate here for lunch. This place is near the waterfront, is family owned and has been here for a long time. It is Dim Sum, so we all shared the standard fare like shrimp dumplings, steamed pork buns, soup dumplings, etc., which were all delish. We also had honey walnut shrimp, but they had an off the menu sea bass we decided to try and it was AMAZING! The sea bass tasted like it was wrapped in thai basil and flash fried in a sweet potato batter. Highly recommend that menu item and this place in general!

We had a great time at Yank Sing! I went with a group of six, which made it easy to share and enjoy a variety of dishes. The restaurant is more on the elevated side. It would be a great date spot! At Yank Sing, servers walk around with carts filled with different dim sum plates, allowing you to see the dishes before making your selection--a feature we appreciated. They also provide a menu for ordering additional plates, so you have plenty of options. Some of our favorites were the pan-fried pork dumplings, xiao long bao, steamed shrimp dumplings, and the fried rice, which was delicious. Every grain of rice was coated with the perfect amount of oil and the rice was packed with a delicious mix of proteins like sausage and shrimp. The only dish I didn't love was the cold Chinese broccoli, but everything else was great. For dessert, I'd recommend the egg tarts. They're served warm and fresh, and they're the perfect way to end the meal.

This place is beautiful, delicious and operates like a machine. The dishes come out quickly and they have so many options to choose from. We ordered the green beans, shrimp dumplings, shrimp tempura, and some veggie noodles. The green beans were unbelievably good, so much flavor and I love the sauce they were doused in. The shrimp dumplings were also very good and they were very fresh tasting. I also loved the shrimp tempura because the shrimps were massive--they did not mess around. The noodles were a great pairing with everything we ordered and I loved the mushroom additions to it. The honey walnut shrimp was soooo good, it was the best version of honey walnut I've had. For dessert we specialty ordered the sesame balls. Those were incredible, and I highly recommend them.

This location feels smaller than their other restaurant near Embarcadero. The dim sum menu isn't as comprehensive, but has all the usual classics. Tasty food and decent portions. Prices are on the higher side but that's normal for San Francisco I guess. The servers speak English decently well so it caters to a different crowd. Also, they accept reservations via open table.

We got to Yank Sing right as they opened on a reservation and were seated pretty much immediately, and man are they fast! The food-carts have very friendly and patient service for a Dim Sum place, which we really appreciated. They took their time to walk you through everything on each cart and gave you a little sales pitch for what you might like (not pushy at all, just excited for you to try). All the dim sum was very strong, their soup dumplings were great, and it was some of the best chicken feet I've ever had. My wife doesn't eat pork or shrimp, but they had a really nice large menu of veg and chicken -- she got the veg curry dumplings and loved them so much that we got a second order. SF has a lot of great Dim Sum, and this place definitely makes the cut!
