Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I'm in San Francisco this weekend, and am having a serious dim sum craving. When I'm in LA, my
dim sum options are very obvious to me: I can
go for "pseudo" dim sum at VIP Harbor Seafood if I feel
lazy and want to stay on the Westside, I can brave the one way streets of downtown and go to Empress Pavilion in Chinatown, or I can make the long haul along the I-10
freeway and go to any of the extraordinarily crowded, but always-worth-it, places in the San Gabriel Valley.
But here in the Bay Area, I am at a bit of a loss. While in school at Berkeley, I went to Yank Sing once or twice, but don't recall (it was a very long time ago). I've also heard/read that Ton Kiang is a popular place.
Are there some raves out there for dim sum in the Bay Area?

On the peninsula, go to Mings in Palo Alto, or Hong Kong Flower Lounge in either Palo Alto or Burlingame.

This is a great dim sum place in Chinatown that can seat up to 1000 people. Everything is fresh and they have a great variety.

I grew up on dim sum in LA, moved to SF 10 years ago and have yet to find dim sum as good. Ton Kiang is so over-rated. The closest to great dim sum is Yank Sing, but be prepared to pay. I know Chinese folks up here that go to LA when they want great Chinese food. 'Nuff said.
