There wasn't a line on a Sunday morning around 10AM. Most other popular dim sum takeout places in SF do have lines, which is an indication of how good the food is. I ate 2 pieces of pork siu mai so far, both with huge chunks of hard cartilage/bone. I will not be returning here. read more

Wing Lee's dim sum has good taste. However, what I do not like is the super thick and gooey shell on their dumplings like their Har Gao. When I bite in it, I got a bunch of dough and didnt even get to the shrimp yet! Their bbq chicken is a must try! Not as much variety as Good luck Dim Sum (this place got a lot more buns) but no rice bowls, chow mein, rice noodles, etc. Cheap eats in the morning.. read more

Ordered the steamed egg custard bun, baked BBQ pork bun, pork sew mai, shrimp see mai, and sticky rice see mai. My favorites were the egg custard (always), shrimp see mai, and the baked BBQ bun turned out to be a surprise hit! The sticky rice was savory with chopped beef or pork (maybe spam?) pieces which were a little too salty for me. Similarly, the pork sew mai was kinda heavy. Did I eat it anyway? Of course Next time I'll try the BBQ side, which is right next door. read more

Today I wanted to get some comfort food for lunch and I got the preserved egg, lean meat porridge, and the combination bun, but I was so disappointed with all three of the items I ordered. The porridge taste was good but I only got two pieces of meat for $4. The combination bun was bigger than my hand.But the ingredients inside the bun were so small, two slices of chicken, a quarter size mushroom, 1/4 egg and a half inch of Chinese sausage for $3.40. It's not worth it. :( read more

My family and I got a bunch of dim sum from here for my bday. We tried: Ham sui gok (5/5) -- perfectly fried, filled with well seasoned meat/mushroom Siu mai (5/5) Har gao (5/5) -- the filling stayed in the wrapper unlike most I've had, delicate and delicious Egg custard bun (3/5) -- ratio of filling to bun is off, too much bun Dan taat (2/5) -- overbaked for the custard...everything was too firm and crust was too thick Chicken feet (4/5) -- standard black bean sauce and tender claws but not sure if it's worth $7/lb Wu gok (5/5) -- retried this after a few years and I really enjoyed this compared to the first time...although greasy, the textural contrast between the outside and creamy taro inside was pleasant Lo mai gai (3/5) Red bean sesame ball (4/5) Joong (5/5) -- really good with the mung bean and egg, standard filling without the peanuts Sweet n sour eggplant tofu (5/5) -- a little greasy, but solid flavor and eggplant was cooked perfectly Big bun (5/5) read more

Came here to pick up food for late lunch party, and the amount of food I walked away with relative to the price I paid was crazy good! This isn't my go-to takeout dim sum spot, but my parents and ordered from here so I decided to give it a try. I came by around 330pm and the selections was a bit low but I still ended up with some fan favorites like the har gow, pork siu mai, potstickers and a couple different sticky rice. The har gow and siu mai was pretty good. I thought the potstickers and sticky rice were middle of the road. 3 pcs I think ran around $3 an order, and I got a ton of food for around $60. The amount of dim sum options are not as much as my other spot, but they got the classics which was what I was looking for,. I walked next door to their rice plate/hot food offerings and ended up with a whole peking duck, crispy pork belly, and 2lbs of fried rice. The crispy pork belly was hella good. fatty and greasy in all the right ways, and the duck was a hit at the party. For the whole duck it was $23 and the pork belly was $17. $4/lb for pork fried rice, all very good deals when ordering for a bunch of people. For feeding 12+ people, and spending around $120, people were full and felt satisfied with the meal. This made party planning a breeze, although I wish I would've hosted earlier because they were out of a bunch of dim sum items and it was kinda slim pickings. Overall, not a bad spot, would definitely be back for the peking duck and the crispy pork belly. read more

What a bang for your buck. This is my go-to place for fried chive dumplings whenever I'm in the city. Service is fast and efficient but be sure to know what you want ahead of time so that they don't get angry with you for being indecisive. :) read more

Probably one of my least favorite dim sum places on Clement. IMH, their dim sum is not as quality as the others. Still, in a pinch, not a bad nom nom nom option when one is hungry and don't want to be in a long a** line. Oh, yes. Forgot to add that their Chicken Skewers are pretty darn delicious and affordable. Thanks Jennifer O. for mentioning this or else I would not have ordered this from a dim sum place. read more

My boyfriend and I went on a small dumpling crawl and out of the 3 that we tried this way, we found the their siu mai was the best. It was full of flavor and juicy. It is cash only so we did have to get some and come back. We also got their shrimp was also highly rated. The pineapple buns there are just okay, nothing too special. read more

Stopped by Wing Lee Bakery on Monday around noon and there was a line of customers waiting to order take out. Note it's take out only during this time. The line moved pretty quickly and I would say the couple of ladies working there are really efficient at fulfilling your order and getting you on your merry way! Ordered shumai (3), shrimp har gow (3), bolo bun, sticky rice wrapped in leaves, a peanut dumpling, and tofu skin wrap. My favorite is probably the sticky rice wrapped in leaves as its quite flavorful and there's pieces of marinated chicken inside. The rest of the items are pretty standard dim sum items and while I would certainly come back, I didn't find the food to be particularly unique. FYI, I was craving the thousand eggs pork congee but they already ran out by noon. Would certainly like to give that a try next time I come back. read more

Came here to pick up some dim sum for lunch before heading over to Lands End for a picnic! Parked in metered parking and walked over to the bakery. There was a line of about 10 people before us and it took about 15 minutes before we were able to order. ~~Parking: Can be difficult to find depending on the time that you come b/c there's only street parking and most of the spots are metered. Make sure that you add enough minutes to the meter because the line at the Bakery can take a while! ~~Service: Fair. Because the staff knows that the line is long they try to rush through as many people as they can--so it's easier if you know what you're going to order ahead of time! ~~Best Part: Portion size, it's pretty comparable to Dim Sum Bistro (which is where I normally go). ~~Worst Part: Cash only--so make sure you bring enough cash for your food! ~~Tip: Scope out the menu ahead of time/think about what you want to order so that you're not trying to think about it while you're at the front of the line. ~~Return: Possibly read more

Wanted to get my dim sum fix without waiting in ridiculously long lines, so we stopped by Wing Lee. We went on a Saturday around 1:30pm and waited around 5 minutes. Service was very no nonsense and we were in and out quickly. I'd recommend studying the menu and knowing what you want in advance so the ladies don't give you the stink eye... I know that's easier said than done since there's so many options! Also note that its cash only. Here are a few items that we ordered ranked from favorite to least favorite: #1 Lo mai gai: Fresh sticky rice and meat wrapped in banana leaf. I shared one with my boyfriend, but regretted not getting one for myself later. #2 Sesame ball: Super fresh and crispy! It was huge too. #3 Shrimp and leek dumpling and shrimp dumpling (har gow): The wrapping was a little too thick for my liking, but was still delicious. #4 Ham sui gok: The fried dumplings weren't fried enough and were super doughy. Normally they look puffed up and crispy, but they were super sad and deflated. I couldn't finish mine, which was a bummer because this is usually my favorite. Overall, solid place for takeout dim sum. The quality isn't the same as if you went to a sit down dim sum restaurant, but you can't beat the prices and value of all of the delicious food you get! read more

I'm not a huge dim sum fan, but my boyfriend was craving some this past weekend so we decided to come here. We only had to wait in line for a couple minutes on a Saturday at 1 pm. Honestly everything looked amazing which made us have trouble deciding, but ultimately we got some shumai, potstickers, fried dumplings, shrimp gow, 2 BBQ pork buns, and 3 sesame balls. All for around $18! I'd come back for the sesame balls alone...so warm and crunchy and perfect! The baked BBQ pork bun was also bomb. My boyfriend's favorite was the shrimp gow; he said it was the best he'd ever had. TBH we were not able to finish most of what we ordered but it made for a great leftover breakfast the next day. Cannot wait to come back to try more!! read more

I had to go to San Francisco today, so I stopped to get dim sum. The best places are on Clement street. I found this one walking around. This place is a good takeout place. Lots of options and fast service. I ordered my favorites of pot stickers, bbq pork bun, shumai and harcao. All large sized portions. All for $10. Great value! They are very good about safety and social distancing. There is a plastic barrier between staff and customers. People are spaced apart. I would definitely go back. They are cash only. read more

Came on a Saturday and there was a line out the door. They also sell BBQ next door and that also had a pretty long line. However, the line does move pretty fast. We got some har gow, siu mai, and pork dumplings. Everything was good and pretty standard. Prices do seem higher than what I remember from before but its consistent with most togo dim sum places. read more

I had steamed BBQ pork bun, steamed chicken bun, shrimp gow, black bean rice cake, and sesame ball. All were good and filling. The buns were huge; there was definitely a lot of bread, but the meat portions were quite generous too--especially for the prices. I thought the chicken was okay and kinda bland, but the pork was tasty. And a special note about the sesame ball--it was so wonderfully crispy on the outside! I do think Lung Fung Bakery across the street has better pork buns (which are juicier and more flavorful). Lung Fung is also a bit cheaper--at least for the meat buns, which I was only paying attention--but their buns are smaller than Wing Lee's, so I guess for the price/portion ratio, both places are equivalent. But (pork bun) taste-wise, Lung Fung Bakery wins. read more

Great place to pick up dimsum if you're in the neighborhood! Prices are cheap and service is quick!

I had been going to this bakery for many years. They have a good variety of dim sum and baked goods for reasonable prices. They're always fresh as well. My favorites are the shrimp dumplings, stuffed bean curds, sticky rice balls, chicken buns, fried tofu, shrimp celery dumplings, and the shrimp chives dumplings. I can taste the freshness of the shrimp in their dumplings. The chicken buns are so big and filling. The fillings in the chicken buns are shiitake mushrooms, Chinese sausage, chicken, and egg. I had also tried their banana cakes and chicken skewers. The banana cakes come in two different flavors. One has red bean paste and the other one has custard filling. The red bean paste filling ones are too sweet for me. The chicken skewers are fried and they're too salty. I wanted to try their baked buns, but they're always sold out. I guess I have to go there at 8:00AM when they open to buy them. Tip: They only accept CASH and close on Tuesdays. read more

This place is cash only in 2025, which already feels outdated and inconvenient--but I'd overlook that if the food delivered. Unfortunately, it doesn't. Portions were noticeably small for the price, and left us wondering if they're cutting corners. In an area with so many great options, this one doesn't justify the hassle or the bill. read more

Take-out only. Wing Lee is a good spot to get buns and dim sum. Their line in the mornings is not bad, compared to the other dim sum restaurant on Clement. We had some egg rolls, pork dim sum (siu mai), pot stickers and a porridge. They didn't have Chinese donuts to go with the porridge. Awh. Since there aren't any tables inside, we resorted to standing at their neighbor's parklet. It was kind of fun eating porridge on the street. Good times. read more

This place serves up some of the tastiest and freshest dim sum I've had in years. Gow is fresh, soft, super flavorful.

Only downside is that all food is to go. read more

Fun place to get dim sum. Either they didn't speak English or didn't care to. Pointing worked well and everything was delicious.

Customer service so bad!!! Customer service is worse than as if I get the food for free. The workers are so rude. They would shout at you if you ask them more than couple of questions. I thought I was in a 3rd world country. Almost like I have to beg for their food. Worse of all. Dim sum was just so so. If I get the chance to get give zero stars. I would do it right away. It's that bad... read more

This is by far one of the best small to go dim sum places. They have really good veggie egg rolls, chives and shrimp dumpling and fried taro balls. They sell out of the fried taro balls pretty fast so you have to go early. They are cash only so make sure to bring cash but there are couple banks near by (Bank of America & chase). The parking is a bit hard since it is on Clement so I usually have my bf drop me off and come back when I am done ordering. I also try to come on the Sundays since the meter is free. read more

I tried this place because it was suggested as a popular place in this area. There were lots of options. All were pretty tasty and pretty good, for their old-school, more rustic, homestyle cooking. But, for the dimsum items I got, there is another local spot that is better, imo. I tried: 1. The sticky rice chicken wrapped in lotus leaf, which could use more seasoning. 2. The shrimp dumplings were on the small side, and the wrapper was a bit thicker and not as tender as some other places. 3. The fried taro croquette is my fave dimsum item, but this one doesn't have all the crispy bits on the outside. And they're smaller than most other restaurants. I could see it wasn't the right texture on the outside, but I got it anyways since, like I said, it's my fave dimsum item and I wanted the taste. 4. The shrimp/chive dumplings didn't have enough chives. I could barely sense the chive flavor. And the wrapper is the same as the shrimp dumplings, could be more tender and thinner. The roast duck I got from their sister joint next door was pretty flavorful. All in all, they satisfied my craving, but the food could be better. read more

You're not paying for customer service but you will get a deal on legit dim sum. Been coming here for over a decade. Love their taro dumplings, glutinous rice balls, and sweet mochi patties filled with either egg or black bean paste. . Rice porridge is tasty too! read more

After reading all the reviews, I was expecting some really good dim sum... but to be honest, I was quite disappointed. Food (3.5/5): Everything tasted average, nothing too memorable besides the jian dui (fried sesame balls), baked bbq pork buns, and ham shui kok (fried pork dumplings). All the other dim sum and buns were average or fell below my expectations. The egg tarts did not taste fresh and the crust was hard. The pineapple buns lacked flavor and tasted like a plain bread. The har gow and pork siu mai were alright. Food is good for the price, but I've definitely had better dim sum elsewhere. If I had to come again, I would probably try other items on the menu. Service (3/5): I came on a Saturday afternoon around 11:30 AM (peak hour) and had to wait about 40-45 minutes in line. I probably would have given it 4 stars if the wait wasn't so long (my friends and I were hangry). The lady who was taking my order was also somewhat rude kept saying, "Ok, ok, ok." Parking: The. Biggest. Headache. It is difficult to find street parking, especially during peak hours since it is located in an area with many restaurants, grocery stores, etc. It's probably best to have one person wait in the car or find a parking space while the other person stands in line (to save time)! Most parking spaces contain parking meters (beware of tow away signs due to construction as well)! Overall, I was not too impressed with the dim sum. Price is on the cheaper side. CASH ONLY! Probably would go somewhere else to get dim sum, but would come again if I wanted to save $$ and was in the area. read more

A lady on the bus with me rode here, bought dim sum, and then got back on the bus.
