I have been going to Yank Sing for 28 years. It is the premier destination for Dim Sum for my family events or showing off the city i love so much to friends. I can not express enough how friendly the staff are and how they make you feel welcome and like i have value. I can say all the good things. Every. One. You would not believe it till you try it yourself. Trust me when i say they are the fastest at what they do. We ordered multiple dishes and they literally and figuratively showed up a minute later. It is my pleasure to write a positive glowing review of one of my favorite restaurants in the world. They do the whole experience just perfect from start to finish. Thank you for all you do. Please do not change.

Dining at the Stevenson Street location was very pleasant. The carts are not used at this location, but their new system of ordering by the servers using handheld devices make the time from ordering to receiving the food only a minute or two longer than selecting from the carts! They really have a great system! Service was very good, friendly, and attentive. The dum sum was also as good as usual. I’ll admit, though, that a part of the ambiance and wonderful experience of dining at Yank Sing is their carts! My only disappointment is that only two wines (one white and one red) were offered by the glass. Not that big a deal, though, when the food and service is good enough! It was!

This is the best dim sum my family and I have ever had. The staff was incredible and kind. They were accurate with time and straightforward. Although the place was crowded, it didn't feel crowded and the restaurant was quiet. I could have a conversation at a normal level without feeling a need to raise my voice. I highly recommend this place.

I was disappointed that dum sums were pre made. Some were actually cold inside. Once I placed the order, food came out immediately- probably there were premade dimsums… I paid more than $100 for the meal and I expected hot, warm meal.

Quality of their dimsum remains very high post pandemic. The shrimp and pork mixed basic is still a treat of their creation. Brunch reservations are necessary and Saturday and Sunday are very crowded and can be noisy. The onion pancakes are delightful, almost French in their pastry support. We were glad to have returned to a favorite.

Food was great for the most part-the spicy chicken was the only disappointment among the dishes we ordered-too dry and not served hot. Service was good/fast and the atmosphere was very good. Seemed a bit on the high side considering the type of cuisine but isn’t everything now

I ordered a pan seared dumpling which has 6 of them. It came piled up on a tiny coffee cup saucer with some of the dumpling skins coming off due to one of top of another. It’s a top rated dim sum restaurant serving in a 2 star way. Also very limited dim sum menu. Besides the tea pot, nothing looks nice. I don’t mind paying the price if there’s quality but this was like eating in $ restaurant paying $$$ price. Very disappointed!

We ordered Sczechuan chicken and when it arrived it Was cold and and hard to chew - looked like it was from yesterday or the day before. The rest of it was OK, but I did not see much difference in taste from the local dim sum takeout. I will not be going there again.

Best bbq pork bun that we have had. Pan fried chicken bun was wonderful as well as the sesame balls. Service was the best we have had at a dim sum place as we know the pace is so much more for this type of dining. Definitely will go back.
