The 11 Best Dim Sum Restaurants in San Francisco - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"This Embarcadero restaurant is the white-tablecloths-and-chandeliers dim sum option. Basically, it’s where you should make a reservation if you’ve got relatives in town, or need a place downtown to take your most high-maintenance client for lunch (they also have a full bar). Plus, this spot has unbeatable waterfront views. Go all in on multiple rounds of their iconic baked barbecue pork buns, which have a crunchy sugar coating on top that melts in your mouth. If you’ve got a hankering to crack into some crab legs, it’s the fried salt-and-pepper crab all the way." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
