"As an SF native, Yank Sing holds a special place in my heart. However, my visit today was extremely disappointing. Food 3.5/5 Food was pretty good but not worth the price that they charged. At least with other upscale dim sum places, their dim sum and plating are fancy and have new twists so it feels like they try to justify their prices. The dim sum here was traditional but like something you can get from a takeout dim sum place for a fraction of the price. Secondly, there was very little variety. For example, they only have one type of steamed buns. No custard buns. No lava buns. Just bbq pork buns. That is incredibly odd to me considering that steamed buns are such a staple dim sum item. Also, none of their items contain beef so I sadly missed my beef cheung fun. The lack of variety in dim sum items left us very unsatisfied. Service 3.5/5 I love that they still have the push carts. The staff was friendly and nice but the carts took a very long time to come by our table. Only special items can be ordered via QR code so we sat without food for a long time. It also took 20 minutes to get our tea pot refilled with hot water. This was on a weekday when the place was full so I imagine it being worse on a packed weekend. Parking 3.5/5 Street parking around this area is a nightmare. Luckily, they validate parking at the Rincon Center Garage. With validation, parking is $4 on weekdays but complimentary on weekends. The parking entrance is on Spear Street, just past Penelope's Coffee. The garage is tiny and hard to navigate though so beware if you have a large car. Sadly, this will likely be my last time visiting Yank Sing unless I hear that the menu changes or expands."
