The
Hang Ah Tea Room in San Francisco Chinatown is one of those hidden gems has been serving up great food for over 80
years. Located on an obscure side street, its one of the coziest dim sum joints in SF. Some of my friends were in town
for the weekend, and I was just dying to try this place.
My only complaint about the service is the lack of carts. The quintessential dim sum meal will include the hustle and bustle of a multitude of carts carrying bounties of bites to eat. At Hang Ah, you have to order off the menu. But, I overlooked this after I had a chance to taste the food. The dim sum at Hang Ah is among the best I have had. The fillingsare flavorful and very fresh, and the dumplings are nice and crispy on the outside. The char siu baos are extremely big, and filled with a glisteningly delicious pork filling.
In addition, they have bunny-shaped shrimp dumplings (pictured above), which are very amusing.
