    Located in Oakland Chinatown on 10th Street between Webster and Harrison. This Dim Sum spot is still affordable. Most types of their dumplings and items are about $1.25 each, or $5 for a box of 4. They accept credit cards but there's a small percentage charge to help cover their fees. I ordered the siu mai (4 steamed pork dumplings), har gow (4 steamed shrimp dumplings), tofu skin rolls (3 rolls filled with water chestnuts, woodear mushrooms and minced pork), and 1 ham sui gok (deep fried mochi dumpling filled with minced meat). Not bad for a quick and fast pickup at the counter. Street parking in this area is challenging since it's Chinatown, but you can be in and out for takeout orders. They do have about 4 tables inside if you wish to dine in.

    My favorite place to grab man tao and Malaysian cake. I highly recommend as they are not too sweet and is very reminiscent of your mom making pastries at home. They are super affordable and have tables inside for you to eat your dim sum or baos. I typically grab to go but their spare ribs rice or meat cake rice is also very tasty and something Chinese people love eating. The service is quick and the ladies working are very sweet. Sometimes they get intimidated when you don't speak Cantonese but they have an English translate menu with picture on the side you can also point to.

    Good grief, Charlie Brown! My first time visiting in a just about a year, and prices went up again! Same tasty food, albeit a little smaller in size, and way too expensive for takeout dim sum! One order of shrimp dumplings or pork dumplings USED TO cost $3. Last year it went up to $4. Now it's $5! And still hungry after eating too!

    Steamed combination bun

    My favorite item here is their combination steamed bun, aka the dai gai bao (big chicken bun). The dough of their steamed bun is just the right texture. It's not too dry, and it's not too moist. The filling of their bao includes large chunks of chicken, hard boiled egg, Chinese sausage, and black mushroom. The filling is seasoned nicely but I have encountered chicken bone occasionally, so be aware. I think they're a bargain at $3 each! Try them! Cash only. They have pictures you can point to order.

    Located in one of the side streets next to the Asian Cultural Center in Oakland Chinatown, Yummy Dim Sum isn't a place that people will regularly wander into on a whim. From the outside, it's actually not terribly easy to tell there's a dim sum place here as it has an unappealing sign, and when you get inside, it's the same as well, but coming to Yummy Dim Sum will be for a very different experience than if you were to go to Peony Seafood Restaurant just a short walk over. What Yummy Dim Sum does offer though, is cheap and affordable dim sum, to-go (no sitting in at the moment). When you first walk in, there's just a couple of large menu boards on the left, and the counter to order is on the right. The staff here is going to be hit or miss, as this was literally the experience of one staff was friendly, the other one didn't really care about anything than getting us out the door. But considering it's a takeout only place, I guess service isn't really much of an expectation to begin with. First, let's talk about the price just to get that out of the way. They are probably the cheapest place that offers dim sum in this area out of all the places. Back in the day, there had been several dim sum places, and you had more options for an actual dim sum restaurant to eat out. Nowadays, there's really just one main dim sum place in this immediate area, and that is Peony. There's a wide variety of other restaurants though that will also offer dim sum, and other takeout only dim sum places too but at a much higher price. Yummy Dim Sum will off you the best bang for your buck if you just want dim sum. Food wise, because of how cheap it is, you get what you pay for. While it's not bad when taking into account how much you're paying, it's certainly not going to blow you away by any means. The portions are small, but not so small that it's no good, but also more like a taste of dim sum, rather than a meal of it. Again, price to portion, it's about what you would expect. Their ha gao is pretty good, their shu mai is not bad and actually has shrimp and not just pork, their shrimp roll is okay, and their pastries were pretty good. The baos here were hit and missing with the chasu bao and the chicken bao, but not too bad. They charge you on the pastries stuff per piece, while most of the other dim sum dishes are done in a tiny batch, like 3 pieces, but if you take into account the per cost, it's the same thing really. All in all, Yummy Dim Sum is a great place for those who are just looking for a cheaper option, eating food that's not bad and in some places pretty good, and want takeout. Naming themselves Yummy Dim Sum was certainly overreaching in the first place, so there was no chance they would meet that standard. However, I would still be comfortable calling them, Yummy Enough Dim Sum, which looking at this case I am all for. Pop on in if you're interested in some takeout dim sum without having to pay much more at almost every other place around in the area, at least nowadays.

    Considering rising crime rates, asian hate, and the pandemic, this place raising their dim sum prices $1.25 dollar is no big deal among a trend of restaurants closing in chinatown. Their dim sum is very small. A few of the wrapped dim sum tasted sour, and even bitter; maybe it's not fresh? I don't recommend the rice-wrapped dumplings and rolls, definitely not the shrimp dumplings. The siu mai and shark fin dumplings were okay-ish. I do recommend trying the bamboo roll. Their $5 sweet rice chicken was incredibly mediocre, however it tasted like it was supposed to. Staff is reasonably friendly; albeit sullen. At the time, they only have take-out. Bag fee is 20 cents. Place could use better lighting, it's pretty dark inside.

    I'm giving Yummy Dim Sum another try on a Sunday. I ordered Har Gow, Shu Mai, and Pork Spareribs. The pork and shrimp dumplings were okay. I found a piece of hard to chew pork tendon in the Shu Mai. The pork spareribs are a small serving. And they add chunks of taro that's the same color as the pork. Oh well, now I know why there's a big line at Ming's Tasty....1/2 a block away.

    Gai baozi (steamed chicken bun). Good filling to bun ratio. Something tasted a bit off with the chicken, but it was still tasty.

    Update: Came back for gai baozi (steamed chicken bun). The bun came out warm, and the dough was the right consistency and taste. However, something tasted a bit off with the chicken filling. Possibly, the oil. I also found a small hair inside. Despite everything, the bun was still tasty, warm, and affordable. Hard to beat at this price point.

    Sought out delicious dim sum takeout for Yelp's #LocalAdventureChallenge (https://bit.ly/EastBayLocalAdventureChallenge) and sadly Tao Yen and Sum Yee were both closed on Sunday (though both are listed as open all weekend). Despite the negative reviews on Yelp, I decided to give Yummy Dim Sum a chance hoping that they'd pleasantly surprise me. Unfortunately this is about a 2.5 dim sum experience, with their affordable prices being the most positive thing here (most items are $2.75). I guess this was a true case of, "you get what you pay for". I'm happy to report that none of the items made me feel sick, but having eaten dim sum my whole life, I could tell the quality just wasn't there. Nothing tasted particularly fresh, the beef balls were too soft and a little soggy, the short ribs lacked meat, and the siu mai and har gow were super small and tasted a little off. And my favorite item, the beef rice noodle rolls, barely had any beef in them. I might go back if I'm desperate for a cheap dim sum fix, but would definitely go elsewhere if other options were available. Note that the ordering process I went through was simply walking in and pointing to the menu and listing off items to one of the staff members. At 1pm on a Sunday they had already sold out of the Chinese chive dumplings and cilantro shrimp dumplings (maybe I'll try for those again if I happen to go back).

    Busy hole in the wall. Very popular and for good reason. I had spareribs, custard dim sum, shrimp dim sum and a sesame ball. It was all amazing. Good prices, fast service. At first a little kid came and sat st my booth. I thought, hmmm, that's weird. Maybe this place has shared seating? Then the kid left. Then a minute later two Chinese speaking ladies came and sat st my booth. No conversation but it was nice to eat with others. I like this place. Even though I don't speak Chinese I felt very welcome. One hundred percent I will go back here, I look forward to it.

    $35 worth of dim sum
    Casie N.

    It's not bad if you have a craving and want cheap dim sum. The shu mai dumplings and har how here is only like 2.50 for 3/4! Sure we cheap. Fed 5 people got $35 and we were full. It comes with tea too! Standouts was the sticky rice as I thought it had a lot of flavor. The fried dumpling and friend potsticker were good too with the mocha like coating outside. They also have a lot of buns. It's more of a takeout place but they do have a few tables and the ladies that work here are so nice and showed us the whole inventory to pick from. The rice cakes, turnip cake etc was def more rice than than meat and the meatballs were eh. A lot of them didn't have distinct flavors but it got the craving done for cheap.

My sister had remembered an article in the SF Chronicle's Food section which ranked Misty's Tasty as "top-ranked" and "best, authentic dim sum in the East Bay". Behind a graffiti'd exterior, you enter a smaller restaurant than most and it was definitely buzzing. We got there early-ish(btw 1030 & 1100) and there was already a short waitlist. There is nothing fancy about this place and don't expect white table cloths and napkins. Once seated, be ready to order off a paper menu which also doubles as their to-go menu. Our selection consisted of * 2 orders of snowy Baked BBQ Pork buns * Pea sprout dumpling w shrimp * Steamed Shrimp dumpling (Har Gow) * Steamed spareribs in black bean sauce * Preserved meat w rice in a claypot * Rice noodle roll w beef cilantro *Bean curd skin rolls (Fu Pei Guen) * Chicken feet w Peking Sauce * Deep fried meat dumpling (Ham Sui Gok) * Deep Fried Taro dumpling (Wu Goo) * Pork and Shrimp dumpling (Sui Mai) The service was fast as each dish came out "piping hot". Each dish is categorize under Small, Medium, Large and X-tra Large. When we were leaving, there must have been 20+ folks waiting We will definitely return to try other options. Each item is priced appropriately, good portions and tasty!!

    I was on a grocery shopping run and read about Ming's Sui Mai. I had lunch with a friend of mine at…read moreanother restaurant in Chinatown before we did our shopping. We both ordered one dish of Sui Mai to go so we could try it out. My wife and I actually liked the taste, texture and flavor. The dish includes 4 Sui Mai for $7.99 but the menu shows $6.45 for the dish so a bit confused on the price difference. We plan to go back but dine in next time so we can try the other many dishes. Based upon the Sui Mai, this is definitely worth trying out for Dim Sum. I forgot to take pictures of the Sui Mai but I did take pictures of the menus and restaurant. Review Update Paragraph: Correction to my original post, I can't do math in my head. We paid $14.99 for two orders which comes out to $7.50 each so I'm guessing the difference between the Owner's response and what we paid might be for using a credit card.

It's getting harder to find places in the Bay Area that still do it this way, mostly because restaurants just don't have the space anymore for carts to weave between tightly packed tables. That alone makes this place feel a little special. The food itself tastes fresh, and yes, the hot sauce passes the test. I've had a few unfortunate (and slightly traumatizing) encounters with off-tasting sauces during the pandemic, so now I always do a cautious smell-and-taste check first. They also serve "tofu fa" (tofu pudding) with a sweet ginger syrup, which was a pleasant surprise. It's one of my favorite desserts and not something you see often at dim sum spots these days since it's not in high demand. Definitely brought back some nostalgic, childhood vibes. Just a heads up, this place gets busy quickly. If you can, try to arrive within the first hour after opening. Otherwise, be prepared to wait a bit, it's popular for a reason.

This time, they flatly refused to share WiFi, offering no reasonable explanation or alternative. For a business group of that size, this is not a small inconvenience, it completely undermines the ability to coordinate, communicate, and function effectively. We turned some of our party away so the restaurant actually lost business. What makes this worse is the inconsistency. If the service was available before, there is no justification for the abrupt change, especially without any effort to work with a paying group of this scale. It sends a clear message that they are not interested in supporting business clients, regardless of group size or prior relationship. If you are planning any kind of professional gathering or need even minimal flexibility from the restaurant, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere. This was a frustrating and avoidable experience that reflects poorly on their management and customer service. The food was okay, last year the room was perfectly decorated this year it looked like it was set up for a wedding which was rather odd for a business meeting as well.

    SO DELICIOUS!! Based…read moreon recommendations from fellow foodies, this was our first stop in San Francisco--and it did not disappoint. They offer several varieties of dim sum and bao buns. We ordered: #20 Steamed BBQ Pork Bun #27 Steamed Sticky Rice Bun #2 Shu Mai #4 Chicken Shu Mai #6 Shark Fin Dumpling Favorites? Definitely the Shark Fin Dumpling and BBQ Pork Bao. Service: It's Chinatown, so if you don't speak the language, no worries--they have a simple English menu with numbered items that makes ordering easy for everyone. It's a cool cultural vibe for sure! We had a massive order (feeding a party of 8), but they were still kind, patient, and efficient. Helpful tip: When lining up, be mindful of neighboring businesses. The owner next door did ask the line to shift away from her entrance, which was totally understandable. BONUS: They accept Apple Pay. We will absolutely return on our next trip. If you're visiting the area, we parked at Chinatown Parking for a very reasonable price, and it was an easy walk to all the restaurants we wanted to try. Pro tip: Make an afternoon of it. Grab your food and enjoy it at the local park just south of the restaurant.

After walking around to visit the many vendors, I decided to have lunch at Yung Kee on the corner of 9th & Webster Streets. One of my friends has dined here and recommended this restaurant for lunch. After perusing the menu, the choices were narrowed to chicken congee or shrimp and scrambled eggs over rice. The congee would have been good and the weather was cool. However, the last time I had shrimp and scrambled eggs over rice was at a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco near my job in the Civic Center area over 12 years ago. Eats: shrimp and scrambled eggs over rice and a pot of hot tea. Drizzled with some soy sauce, my dish was delicious. The hot tea was perfect, flavorful and soothing when I drank about 5 cups. This was total comfort food and beverage that I almost doze off in the restaurant. For $15, it was a good deal. The only drawback was one of the employees was mopping the floor when I was eating my lunch. I will return in the future to have lunch again. I might even order food to go for dinner.
