Order the best Chinese near San Francisco, CA

This marketplace/food hall/gourmet destination serves some seriously modern takes on dim sum. Char sui pork buns come in baked Dutch Crunch bread for an astonishing mouthful of texture, and the griddled buns called sheng jian bao are browned, crispy, juicy and steamy. Look past the dumpling menu to crispy Brussels sprouts and firecracker Kung Pao chicken.

Mama Ji's

This pleasant Castro District spot offers dim sum alongside a full menu of Sichuan favorites, such as Chongqing Chicken, hot and numbing fish fillets, and “Ants Climbing a Tree” — a dish so named for the way ground pork bits cling to bean thread noodles. Vegans take note: There’s a lot for you on this menu.

Fang

4.4

Just a stone’s throw from SFMOMA, this restaurant offers an uptown vision of modern Chinese dim sum and street food. The trick is to go with whatever sounds the most fun. We like the crispy short rib bites over garlicky bok choy and the pan-fried wontons filled with creamy chicken and corn.

Yank Sing

Open for more than 60 years, this third-generation family restaurant is where so many San Franciscans learned to love dim sum. Today, the menu makes room for both traditional and contemporary dishes, and there is so much choice that you can feel free to order with abandon.

Dragon Beaux

Famed restaurateur Willy Ng (Koi Palace) keeps the quality high at this dim sum palace. The question isn’t where to stop but how to stop. The “classics” on the menu include puffy steamed pork bao and crystal shrimp dumplings. The pan-fried daikon cake is exemplary, and if you’re a fan of those slippery rice paper rolls, there’s a whole lineup.

Great Eastern Restaurant

This is the kind of old-school dim sum that made San Francisco’s Chinatown into a food capital. It's a great place to try braised chicken feet along with all the dumplings. The restaurant specializes in fresh seafood, so if a preparation grabs your eye, give it a try. The sauteed pea leaves with whole cloves of garlic are also a top pick.

Palette Tea House

Located near Fisherman’s Wharf, this elegant spot has some serious culinary swagger. The house xiao long bao comes in five different flavors (and colors). Black Swan taro puffs are so named for their surprising appearance, and plump ha gow features a lobster and shrimp filling.

Yuanbao Jiaozi

4.9

This tiny cafe at the edge of Golden Gate Park in Sunset attracts lines for its snack-friendly menu. Fans know to look for the shiitake and fish dumplings, the shrimp and three delicacies dumplings, and the red oil-slicked tofu skin stick salad. Good thing you can order it in.

Dumpling Home

This Hayes Valley fave brings the heat. Xiao long bao — a.k.a. soup dumplings — come with regular or hot and numbing pork fillings, and there are exemplary wontons in chili oil. Don’t miss the cold salads made with cucumbers, shredded potatoes, and slivered, addictively crunchy-chewy pigs’ ears.

Osmanthus Dim Sum Lounge

Steamed Cantonese dumplings are the specialty at this sleek, modern restaurant. Look for pleated Chaozhou dumplings with their sheer, see-through wrappers and coarse fillings. But don’t neglect the crispy salt-and-pepper lollipop chicken wings either.
