Parking: None in chinatown, street is metered but spots are packed Interior: only space is to order Wait Time: none on weekend morning around opening. some items were not ready yet (10:30a for the steamed rice rolls) Items Order: $3.4/3pc 8/10 Har Gow - large and filled with good mounts of fresh shrimp. The skin does not break easily and its not hard/doughy. Solid 8/10 Pork Sui Mai - large and juicy and meaty. flavor is good and gets the cravings itch. 7.5/10 Radish Cake - Filling amount and good taste. I feel like it's missing the dried shrimp. 10/10 Ham Sui Gok - Super good! The footballs are made fresh and stays crispy on the outside but the thin interior is mochi texture. Filling was good enough (mostly air which is typical) for how big the ball was. Also the meat was seasoned really well and flavored the mochi breading. read more

Ordered: 3pc Shrimp Dumplings (~$4) 3pc Cilantro Shrimp Dumplings (~$4) 6pc Beef Shumai (~$8) Aya's take: We were in Chinatown looking for a quick bite and what's better than some authentic dim sum! There were lines everywhere (midday on Saturday) but Delicious Dim Sum's line seemed short. It still moved pretty slow but we committed to it. They were sadly out of the Chive & Shrimp Dumplings but of the 3 items we got, the Cilantro Shrimp Dumplings were my favorite! The shrimp in the Shrimp Dumplings were plump & fresh while the beef in the Beef Shumai was a lot fattier than expected. The dumplings & shumai are pretty large so I definitely recommend getting an assortment to share. Staff were not super friendly or hospitable either which took away from our experience. Overall, I'd give it a 3.5/5 (rounding up here); decent try! read more

We went when it was pretty busy around Lunar New Year, and it wasn't busy when we came in. The lady at the counter took our order quickly and sat us three at the only table in the small area. She provided chili oil and soy sauce. 3.5/5 for the food. I've had better but I was pretty satisfied with the shrimp noodle. The bun seemed like it didn't have much meat at first, but about 2 bites in and I realized there was a decent amount in it. read more

Recently visited again and it certainly hasn't changed. Everything is as delicious and delightful as I remember. Lots of items to choose from and the menu on the wall has photos. Everything is made fresh and you can taste the quality. Usually two ladies working the front that I've seen most of the times coming here. Take out only but there's one or two tables you can sit at to squeeze in the back. read more

Still on the hunt for my next go-to dim sum place. The dim sum here erred on the side of doughy. Very little filling for the fried meat dumplings, sesame balls, and buns. The rice noodles were oddly thick and doughy as well. I didn't mind the lotus leaf glutinous rice and shrimp dumplings however. Small shop with one table for seating. You may be asked to split with another customer. read more

If you're looking for a less-touristy, dim sum-focused shop in Chinatown, Delicious Dim Sum has you covered. As of writing this review, they're about 50-60¢ cheaper per 3-piece order for shrimp dumplings and pork shumai compared to Good Mong Kok. Located on Jackson St across from the Fortune Cookie Factory, this small, classic Chinatown spot serves all your favorite dim sum to-go -- simple, efficient, and delicious. - Pork Shumai -- juicy, meaty, and perfectly balanced by the thin wonton wrapper - Chive & Shrimp Dumpling -- something about chives in Chinese food just hits right; savory and full of seafood flavor - Beef Rice Noodle -- tender beef wrapped in soft but not doughy rice noodles, served with soy sauce on the side Service is no-frills yet friendly, and the ambience centers around the bustle of dim sum prep -- always a good sign it's authentic. It's cash preferred (3% card fee), to-go only, with no indoor seating. I'd recommend taking your meal to Washington Square Park or enjoying it back at home or your hotel. Great prices, classic flavors, and fresh, hearty portions -- Delicious Dim Sum is my go-to dim sum shop in Chinatown SF! read more

This will easily become my regular spot when in China Town!!! There was a line for about 20 minutes to get into place, and there were great options. The scallion and shrimp ones with a toasted side were incredible!!! The pork shumai were also delicious! My biggest critique was that they do not provide nearly enough soy sauce for what you order, next time I'll double my request. There is also no chili oil, or places to eat inside. You have to enjoy your yummy food elsewhere. Note to self, don't eat dim sum while watching a dumpling eating contest... (happening just a few blocks away). lol. read more

Stopped by Delicious Dim Sum while in Chinatown. No line and easy to order on a weekday. I had the shrimp dumplings and spring rolls. Loved the shrimp dumplings. The spring rolls were just okay because they were cold. Had they been hot I'm sure it would been better. Also, this place accepts cash only so make sure you have some before stopping by. read more

The Dim Sum served here is cooked fresh, very delicious and absolutely has reasonable prices! The service was fast friendly and the lady working the counter was super sweet with us being our first time. I definitely recommend bringing cash, my order was roughly about $12. I ordered Pork & Shrimp Dumplings, Pork Shumai, and my favorite The Shanghai Dumpling!! There was a line when we arrived; the food is all made to-go, but there are plenty of photo worthy spots to enjoy your food :) read more

We didn't want to wait in line for Good Mong Kok Bakery since we've been there a few times so we found this place on the way to Golden Gate Bakery. We think it's comparable to good mong kok bakery-- and deserves a line, too! (4.5/5) Our orders: Ha Gao (shrimp dumpling): decent, true to the ha gao taste, some places it's literally just shrimp and dumpling, but the wrapper part was a bit thick Shrimp and chive pan fried: a bit oily but also it's pan fried, a lot of fresh chives in it Pork Siu Mai: our favorite, not Cantonese style since it only had pork rather than pork and shrimp The staff the shrimp and chive dumpling is a top seller. Prices were fair, about 3 for 3.50, our order was $11 and took card read more

We came around 2PM and got some shrimp rice rolls, Shanghai dumplings, fried sticky rice ball and shrimp and chive dumpling. The shrimp rice was was delicious, but there were maybe three pieces of shrimp in an order and no extras like green onions. The fried sticky rice ball was okay, but a bit too sweet for my liking, and the dumpling skin on the Shanghai dumpling way too thick and pork had no flavor. Chive and shrimp dumpling was good. Everything was sold in servings of 3 pieces, averaging $3.20-3.80 per set. Decent dim sum, but not the best in the area. There are a few chairs to sit at, but no tables or restrooms. read more

Came in about an hour and a half before closing on a Saturday and there were still plenty of dim sum left. The counter lady seemed a bit impatient with us, but she easily handled our 4-person order with ease. She was able to tell us what items were sold out and suggested good replacements. Each order was 3 pieces - about a dollar or so each dumpling. It's a small place with a long counter so be warned - there's a park walking distance that you can eat at. It's mainly a pick up place and they prefer cash. In Chinatown, it's in the middle of bustling alley ways and across the street from the fortune cookie company. Definitely worth its value and pretty big dumplings for the price. Will definitely be back to try more when I'm in the area. read more

My wife and I wanted some Dim Sum, so through recommendations we came to Delicious Dim Sum for some. The store is not big, it is a small take out joint with no place to sit inside. There was a line and it's not a big deal as long as the food delivers so we waited. When it came my turn I asked if they had certain items in the pictures they have plastered throughout the store. They were apparently out of stock while others are still available. I followed up asking more questions like, when will it be on stock again? ....a pause and a mean stare. "It's just have to wait", she said with the intent to pass me off to the next customer after me? I was like umm...okay, maybe I will pass on these items then? I mean if it's 5 minutes, it's really not that big of a deal but should I continue this conversation with a money hungry angry Asian lady with is apparently ready to skip my long awaited turn for the next guy down for asking questions? Smartly, I just ordered your typical Cantonese staples like shumai, bbq pork bun, and then when came time for the bill, due to the noise from the amount of people inside it was hard to hear her. When I questioned her about the change, she got angry and raised her voice with the total bill. Jeez man. Dumbfounded, why did I just waited 15 minutes on a line to deal with an angry Asian lady for? I was a little disappointed at her reaction. If you can call "service", this would be it, taking the money from the customer and communicating to them clearly on a take out right? Let's say I misheard, what's the big deal? Not to mention that there's no receipt so who knows if any of their math is correct? The food itself was good, but it's been a while since I had to deal with serious rude customer service. I will have to think twice the next time I'm in SF as there are plenty of dim sum places as an alternative so if you are looking for people that will treat you with decent manners, this won't be it unfortunately. read more

Great memories . As a child, it was habitual , haircut off Jason and dim sum while we waited for a chair to open up. During school lunchtime Back when we carry lunch boxes the pot stickers almost always came from here. Always someone at school would ask what's that? The potsticker had this distinctive taste one can't forget. Now this place takes credit card and still serving up delicious dim sum just without the potstickers it's been replaced with the shen zen baos . 3 pieces of dim sum at 3.80 draws a crowd from the fortune cookie factory, I'm happy to see them still in business and consistent with the dim sum till this day. read more

There's a ton of dim sum spots in Chinatown, so if you're here for the first time - it can be hard to figure out where to go. When in doubt, look for the crowds. Since I was visiting Chinatown for the first time, I relied on Yelp and crowd size to gauge whether to eat somewhere or not. This place had great reviews... and a 30 minute long wait. I was already tired walking around from all the hills that didn't show up on Google Maps, so figured I'd rest a bit while waiting in this slow moving line. The wait was worth it. Not only is the dim sum fresh (there were steamed trays of dumplings that came out while I was getting close to the front of the line), but the prices were very competitive (3 pieces of pork shu mai for $3.50 for example), and the quality was great. The rice rolls were thick (which I love), fresh, and had a good rice roll to filling ratio. I made out with an entire tray full of different dim sum favorites (pork shu mai, shrimp & chive dumplings, beef rice rolls, shrimp rice rolls) for less than $20. Wish they included another container of soy sauce though. I already had giant egg tarts left over from Stockton Bakery in my bag, so didn't pick up any dessert items here. There is one table for indoor seating - and a few chairs. This is mostly a takeout place, so no issues there. If you do end up eating here anyway, expect it to be loud. What was frustrating though - through no fault of the restaurant - was that the line wasn't slow because service was slow - it was slow because of all the time people took to order and decide what to get, even after waiting in line for 30+ minutes. Like maybe look at the menu when you get closer to the front, see what food is left (because they do sell out as you get through the day), so you don't hold up the rest of us by the time its your turn to order. The main lady here isn't rude, she's just business oriented - time is money. She was nice to me because I knew exactly what I wanted, and when one of the items I wanted was out, I quickly decided on a suitable alternate. Cash preferred, card taken with 3% surcharge. read more

Craving many different things, I left it up to my companion to choose our lunch spot. Being in Chinatown, dim sum was our meal of choice. My companion recommended we drop into Delicious Dim Sum to get our fix. The day we came, it was pouring. My companion did all the ordering while I waited outside. The ladies were extremely kind enough to let us dine at their one table inside. The dim sum spot primarily operates as takeout. It's quick service with the menu posted at the front. He ordered us a variety of dishes. These included: Shrimp Dumpling, Pork Shumai, Chiu-Chao Style Dumpling, Shanghai Dumpling, Pork & Shrimp Dumpling, Radish Cake, Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll, Dried Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll, and Lotus Leaf Wrap. We thought that some of them were good while others were average. The dumplings had thick skin, so if you like a thicker skin on your dumplings, this is the spot. The filling was decent for most. Our favorite was probably the Noodle Rolls. For those who like dim sum, Chinatown has no shortage. Located off Jackson Street, parking is limited to the street. I wouldn't return immediately, but knowing they're a decent spot is good! read more

I've only been in town visiting from LA since Saturday morning and I've been here maybe 2x a day for for in between meals every day since. Visiting a business 4x in a day and a half tells you how delicious they are. I found this place recommended by my concierge for a cafeteria style pick up and order and I'm a definite fan. Plus, the price is phenomenally affordable at everything averaging $3.50 for 3x pieces of amazingly scrumptious mouth watering dim sum that is ready to eat within minutes of ordering. If you're in town, it's a must try. read more

We came here early in the morning so everything was freshly steamed and delicious. No line. We got the standards pork shumai, har gow, and pork and shrimp dumplings. Everything was tasty. This is a to-go dim sum place which is great because the prices are more cheaper. The dim sum kept well and was great as a quick lunch and we had the leftovers later for a late snack. read more

DELICIOUS dim sum. Extremely good bang for buck. Surprisingly filling. Everything on the menu was super delicious Great to grab and go read more

FOOD: Affordable eats, the shrimp roll was a bit greasier than normal for my liking (it almost got wrinkly) Honestly have had better dim sum elsewhere but for the price is nice and affordable, especially for someone on a tight budget. SERVICE: No frills, bring cash with you if you can since this is Chinatown. AMBIANCE: No place to sit and eat but I just walked to Union Square and sat at a table and it was fine honestly. Cheap, does the job, and I'm satisfied. read more

Some of the Dim Sum spots in this area only accept cash, so I double checked that Delicious Dim Sum accepted cards before getting in line. It's a small space with no seating and their menu has a picture of the food, the cash price (credit card price is 3% higher), as well as the name of the item, and the number of the item. They make it super easy to order with just the number and tap your card once they've boxed up your eats. The service was friendly and helpful and I absolutely loved my shanghai dumpling (XLB). I've never before had one that I could easily eat to-go so I will definitely be returning with the honey because he's also a huge XLB fan. All in all, the price and quality of Delicious Dim Sum's XLB was amazing and I will definitely be coming back! read more

VERY good dim sum, and I had dim sum in Hong Kong and Singapore before. Super affordable prices, fast service! Parking is tough; my husband circled the block while I went inside to grab the food. read more

Delicious Dim Sum is a hidden gem for sure!! Compared to other Dim Sum places nearby, I find that Delicious Dim Sum has the cleanest space and everything is so nicely made!

Favorite Dim Sum in San Francisco! The workers are super nice and everything is so delicious I always come when visiting the city.

Food was super fresh and tasty, service was warm and inviting, would definitely recommend! P.S. bring cash for an even better experience

Came on a Saturday afternoon and there was a short wait. Definitely shorter than some of the other popular places in Chinatown. The shrimp dumplings were pretty big but the fried glutinous rice dumplings had almost no filling in them. The ratio was very disappointing. The other reviews are accurate in terms of the lady charging more than what is listed on the menu board and they also add tax. When I asked her if the total was correct she was super rude and defensive. Overall terrible experience and I will not be back. read more

This was our last stop for the day because we realized we forgot the fried sticky rice dumplings. I ended up eating one about 30 minutes later sitting in St.Marys Park. Ps. The St.Marys parking garage is cheaper than the other one that has the big square. . And we needed to try and compare their other dim sums shui mai etc . We felt like the quality was pretty high. Much higher quality than the other of the viral spots. You can eat inside,they had a few tables and next door is where you can get Chinese new year decorations. read more

This place is great for grab and go or as the Brittish call it take away food. We got cilantro shrimp , beef , and pork bao. Each dish had 3 pieces enough for 2 Poekel's to have a great snack read more

One of the best cheap eats in sf. Cash only. The best secret here is to try and sit in the one and only table they have just to get the chili sauce. Shrimp and chives 5/5 - Have to get these, my fav. Tastes fresh and has a good portion of shrimp. Shu mai 4/5 Pork buns 2/5 - The pork buns had barely any filling, so it was a little dry. Would skip this one. The inside is tiny and there can be a long line out the door. There is only one table but if you can eat in and try the chilli sauce it will elevate everything. Soooo good. read more

This NOT a sit down for service sort of place. Yes, there are a couple tables but don't expect a lot in the way of wait staff. This is a place that makes dim sum and the locals come to buy it to go. Ambiance is less than casual. Food is EXCELLENT!! Great prices for A LOT of good food! read more

BEST chinatown dimsum by far!!! This place is fast, has quality dimsum and cheap too. Only $1 a piece for shrimp dumpling. Most items on menu came with 3pcs too. But please BRING CASH if you come here since they do have 3% credit card fee. I will be coming here next time to get dimsum in 5 min instead of other dimsum bakeries in the area where you need to wait 30-1 hour. read more

Went back here because the dim sum was good and supposedly cheap. The first time we were overcharged by a couple of cents but now it was more than a dollar. I also checked some of the low rated reviews here and it's about their overcharging and miscalculation. My friend got shrimp dumplings and pan fried shrimp and chives. The wrapper of the shrimp dumplings was thick and tough. Shrimp inside seems fresh. The one with chives tasted the same. It was priced $3 and $3.40 on the menu. It was late when we found out that my friend was charged $7.49 for two sets of dim sum. Like last time, no bag, utensils and sauces provided. The only reason that they overcharged us with $1.09 would be the sales tax. I hope we helped them if they pay their taxes. Not supporting this store with bad business practice. read more

This spot provides passable dim sum at a very cheap price. It's not great food, but it does come in great portions. It's a hole in the wall with hardly any seating. I recommend choosing a bunch of items from the display cases and then heading over to one of the nearby parks, where you can eat and do a little people-watching. read more

$17.50 for 5 orders of dim sum which breaks down to about a dollar per item. I think I'm over the Chinatown dim sum takeouts. They're basically fast food mediocre quality if you're desperate for food to eat while trying to find your way through the streets of Chinatown. I would rather have a proper sit down meal. The only thing that was pretty good was the shrimp and chive dumplings -- 3 bites, worth $1? Service is typical lackluster, not rude but not exactly friendly either. I hate when they say: "and then what else?" as you're ordering -- as if they're annoyed that you don't come in with a full list of exactly what you want. #overit read more
