Delicious Dim Sum

So good! Ate here twice during a weekend trip to SF. The value was amazing - spent less than $10 for a meal. The shrimp dumplings were my favorite and very flavorful

Don’t go here if you want to sit down. 4 chairs in the entire place. I got Shanghai dumplings, pork dumplings, pork shumai and beef shumai. They were all like warm at best and most of the meet looked pink and undercooked. The flimsy fork couldn’t even cut through each dish and a knife was not offered. I consider myself a dumpling connoisseur and this was fair at best.

My wife and I wanted some Dim Sum, so through recommendations we came to Delicious Dim Sum for some. The store is not big, it is a small take out joint with no place to sit inside. There was a line and it's not a big deal as long as the food delivers. When it came my turn I asked if they had certain items in stock. I asked for certain dim sum items that were apparently out of stock while others are available. I followed up asking more questions like, when will it be on stock again? ....no response and a mean stare. "It's just have to wait", she said. I was like umm...okay, maybe I will pass then. I continued to order and then when came time for the bill, due to the noise from the amount of people inside it was hard to hear her. When I questioned her about the change, she got angry and raised her voice on the total. Jeez man. I waited on a line to deal with an angry Asian lady for? I was a little disappointed. If you can call "service", this would be it, taking the money from the customer and communicating to them clearly? Let's say I misheard, what's the big deal? The food itself was good, but it's been a while since I had to deal with serious rude customer service. I will have to think twice the next time I'm in SF as there are plenty of dim sum places as an alternative so if you are looking for people that will treat you with decent manners, this won't be it.

谢谢你 Fairly yum dim sum in the heart of beautiful SF Chinatown. I got some Shrimp and Chive Dumplings to chow whilst on the move, pretty tasty and good portions but super oily and a full on grease fest. They tasted good, but I felt sick afterwards. Support local businesses!

Great spot for low-priced, excellent quality dim sum take-out. We got a good sampling of dim sum here for under $25 while visiting San Francisco. The staff were super helpful while ordering and the menu has photos if you aren't sure. Definitely a "cheap eats" place but the food quality isn't cheap. There is one table in the restaurant if you absolutely can't take it away. Great experience and tasty food, would definitely visit again on another trip to the city.

excellent affordable dimsim togo spot in bay area, siu mai juicy and thick, ha gow also juicy and thicc, the ha cheong can avoid skin is kind of thick and dry

Came here two days in a row for a few items to have as breakfast, great pricing and the lady was very helpful. There is a bit of waiting in the morning on certain items but I believe it was worth waiting. Also there’s one medium size table to be able to dine in but other than that it’s mostly take out.

We tried this restaurant for the 1st time based on a recommendation from a local resident. Great price, delicious food, the portions were huge, the ladies who served us were so sweet and helpful. Note that this is a carry out restaurant. Will definitely go back!

Some of the Dim Sum spots in this area only accept cash, so I double checked that Delicious Dim Sum accepted cards before getting in line. It's a small space with no seating and their menu has a picture of the food, the cash price (credit card price is 3% higher), as well as the name of the item, and the number of the item. They make it super easy to order with just the number and tap your card once they've boxed up your eats. The service was friendly and helpful and I absolutely loved my shanghai dumpling (XLB). I've never before had one that I could easily eat to-go so I will definitely be returning with the honey because he's also a huge XLB fan. All in all, the price and quality of Delicious Dim Sum's XLB was amazing and I will definitely be coming back!

Came in about an hour and a half before closing on a Saturday and there were still plenty of dim sum left. The counter lady seemed a bit impatient with us, but she easily handled our 4-person order with ease. She was able to tell us what items were sold out and suggested good replacements. Each order was 3 pieces - about a dollar or so each dumpling. It's a small place with a long counter so be warned - there's a park walking distance that you can eat at. It's mainly a pick up place and they prefer cash. In Chinatown, it's in the middle of bustling alley ways and across the street from the fortune cookie company. Definitely worth its value and pretty big dumplings for the price. Will definitely be back to try more when I'm in the area.

My wife and I wanted some Dim Sum, so through recommendations we came to Delicious Dim Sum for some. The store is not big, it is a small take out joint with no place to sit inside. There was a line and it's not a big deal as long as the food delivers so we waited. When it came my turn I asked if they had certain items in the pictures they have plastered throughout the store. They were apparently out of stock while others are still available. I followed up asking more questions like, when will it be on stock again? ....a pause and a mean stare. "It's just have to wait", she said with the intent to pass me off to the next customer after me? I was like umm...okay, maybe I will pass on these items then? I mean if it's 5 minutes, it's really not that big of a deal but should I continue this conversation with a money hungry angry Asian lady with is apparently ready to skip my long awaited turn for the next guy down for asking questions? Smartly, I just ordered your typical Cantonese staples like shumai, bbq pork bun, and then when came time for the bill, due to the noise from the amount of people inside it was hard to hear her. When I questioned her about the change, she got angry and raised her voice with the total bill. Jeez man. Dumbfounded, why did I just waited 15 minutes on a line to deal with an angry Asian lady for? I was a little disappointed at her reaction. If you can call "service", this would be it, taking the money from the customer and communicating to them clearly on a take out right? Let's say I misheard, what's the big deal? Not to mention that there's no receipt so who knows if any of their math is correct? The food itself was good, but it's been a while since I had to deal with serious rude customer service. I will have to think twice the next time I'm in SF as there are plenty of dim sum places as an alternative so if you are looking for people that will treat you with decent manners, this won't be it unfortunately.

Great memories . As a child, it was habitual , haircut off Jason and dim sum while we waited for a chair to open up. During school lunchtime Back when we carry lunch boxes the pot stickers almost always came from here. Always someone at school would ask what's that? The potsticker had this distinctive taste one can't forget. Now this place takes credit card and still serving up delicious dim sum just without the potstickers it's been replaced with the shen zen baos . 3 pieces of dim sum at 3.80 draws a crowd from the fortune cookie factory, I'm happy to see them still in business and consistent with the dim sum till this day.

We came around 2PM and got some shrimp rice rolls, Shanghai dumplings, fried sticky rice ball and shrimp and chive dumpling. The shrimp rice was was delicious, but there were maybe three pieces of shrimp in an order and no extras like green onions. The fried sticky rice ball was okay, but a bit too sweet for my liking, and the dumpling skin on the Shanghai dumpling way too thick and pork had no flavor. Chive and shrimp dumpling was good. Everything was sold in servings of 3 pieces, averaging $3.20-3.80 per set. Decent dim sum, but not the best in the area. There are a few chairs to sit at, but no tables or restrooms.

We came here early in the morning so everything was freshly steamed and delicious. No line. We got the standards pork shumai, har gow, and pork and shrimp dumplings. Everything was tasty. This is a to-go dim sum place which is great because the prices are more cheaper. The dim sum kept well and was great as a quick lunch and we had the leftovers later for a late snack.

Cute dim sum spot in Chinatown, SF. They run out somewhat quick, but they have quite a few options, which makes up for it. The food is served warm in plastic containers.

There's a ton of dim sum spots in Chinatown, so if you're here for the first time - it can be hard to figure out where to go. When in doubt, look for the crowds. Since I was visiting Chinatown for the first time, I relied on Yelp and crowd size to gauge whether to eat somewhere or not. This place had great reviews... and a 30 minute long wait. I was already tired walking around from all the hills that didn't show up on Google Maps, so figured I'd rest a bit while waiting in this slow moving line. The wait was worth it. Not only is the dim sum fresh (there were steamed trays of dumplings that came out while I was getting close to the front of the line), but the prices were very competitive (3 pieces of pork shu mai for $3.50 for example), and the quality was great. The rice rolls were thick (which I love), fresh, and had a good rice roll to filling ratio. I made out with an entire tray full of different dim sum favorites (pork shu mai, shrimp & chive dumplings, beef rice rolls, shrimp rice rolls) for less than $20. Wish they included another container of soy sauce though. I already had giant egg tarts left over from Stockton Bakery in my bag, so didn't pick up any dessert items here. There is one table for indoor seating - and a few chairs. This is mostly a takeout place, so no issues there. If you do end up eating here anyway, expect it to be loud. What was frustrating though - through no fault of the restaurant - was that the line wasn't slow because service was slow - it was slow because of all the time people took to order and decide what to get, even after waiting in line for 30+ minutes. Like maybe look at the menu when you get closer to the front, see what food is left (because they do sell out as you get through the day), so you don't hold up the rest of us by the time its your turn to order. The main lady here isn't rude, she's just business oriented - time is money. She was nice to me because I knew exactly what I wanted, and when one of the items I wanted was out, I quickly decided on a suitable alternate. Cash preferred, card taken with 3% surcharge.

Craving many different things, I left it up to my companion to choose our lunch spot. Being in Chinatown, dim sum was our meal of choice. My companion recommended we drop into Delicious Dim Sum to get our fix. The day we came, it was pouring. My companion did all the ordering while I waited outside. The ladies were extremely kind enough to let us dine at their one table inside. The dim sum spot primarily operates as takeout. It's quick service with the menu posted at the front. He ordered us a variety of dishes. These included: Shrimp Dumpling, Pork Shumai, Chiu-Chao Style Dumpling, Shanghai Dumpling, Pork & Shrimp Dumpling, Radish Cake, Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll, Dried Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll, and Lotus Leaf Wrap. We thought that some of them were good while others were average. The dumplings had thick skin, so if you like a thicker skin on your dumplings, this is the spot. The filling was decent for most. Our favorite was probably the Noodle Rolls. For those who like dim sum, Chinatown has no shortage. Located off Jackson Street, parking is limited to the street. I wouldn't return immediately, but knowing they're a decent spot is good!

I've only been in town visiting from LA since Saturday morning and I've been here maybe 2x a day for for in between meals every day since. Visiting a business 4x in a day and a half tells you how delicious they are. I found this place recommended by my concierge for a cafeteria style pick up and order and I'm a definite fan. Plus, the price is phenomenally affordable at everything averaging $3.50 for 3x pieces of amazingly scrumptious mouth watering dim sum that is ready to eat within minutes of ordering. If you're in town, it's a must try.

Delicious Dim Sum is a hidden gem for sure!! Compared to other Dim Sum places nearby, I find that Delicious Dim Sum has the cleanest space and everything is so nicely made! My favorites; *shrimp and chive dumplings: absolute perfection! *potstickers: HUGE & fresh! All the ingredients inside taste incredibly fresh and you can tell they have been prepared with love & care. You can't beat it for the price and quality!

Out of this world Shrimp Dim Sum...Got some to go...finished them by the Embarcadero...and just had to get back there before closing to get one additional order.WOW!

First time trying this place with my daughter. The food was good, especially chicken dim sum. We had to wait a long time to order our food. There is a little table where you can eat your food if it's not occupied. My daughter asked for a container to take leftover food and a bad. The lady was very rude and asked for 25 cents. She haves us a look like we're asking for extra food or something. A little smile and explanation wouldn't hurt if they want to keep customers coming back!

Came on a Saturday afternoon and there was a short wait. Definitely shorter than some of the other popular places in Chinatown. The shrimp dumplings were pretty big but the fried glutinous rice dumplings had almost no filling in them. The ratio was very disappointing. The other reviews are accurate in terms of the lady charging more than what is listed on the menu board and they also add tax. When I asked her if the total was correct she was super rude and defensive. Overall terrible experience and I will not be back.

This was our last stop for the day because we realized we forgot the fried sticky rice dumplings. I ended up eating one about 30 minutes later sitting in St.Marys Park. Ps. The St.Marys parking garage is cheaper than the other one that has the big square. . And we needed to try and compare their other dim sums shui mai etc . We felt like the quality was pretty high. Much higher quality than the other of the viral spots. You can eat inside,they had a few tables and next door is where you can get Chinese new year decorations.

One of the best cheap eats in sf. Cash only. The best secret here is to try and sit in the one and only table they have just to get the chili sauce. Shrimp and chives 5/5 - Have to get these, my fav. Tastes fresh and has a good portion of shrimp. Shu mai 4/5 Pork buns 2/5 - The pork buns had barely any filling, so it was a little dry. Would skip this one. The inside is tiny and there can be a long line out the door. There is only one table but if you can eat in and try the chilli sauce it will elevate everything. Soooo good.

TLDR: Good, affordable dim sum for the price point. Mid-day with a slight line but overall quick and seamless process. Primarily Cantonese-speaking aunties but can get by with English. Only take out~ Would come again for dim sum craving

They have amazing affordable food. I love how you can see it through the glass. The customer service is great too! the vibe in there really matches well with china town. I really recommend this for a good eat when youre in the area. My favorite items are pork and shrimp shu mai, pork and shrimp dumplings, and cilantro shrimp dumplings!

BEST chinatown dimsum by far!!! This place is fast, has quality dimsum and cheap too. Only $1 a piece for shrimp dumpling. Most items on menu came with 3pcs too. But please BRING CASH if you come here since they do have 3% credit card fee. I will be coming here next time to get dimsum in 5 min instead of other dimsum bakeries in the area where you need to wait 30-1 hour.

Went back here because the dim sum was good and supposedly cheap. The first time we were overcharged by a couple of cents but now it was more than a dollar. I also checked some of the low rated reviews here and it's about their overcharging and miscalculation. My friend got shrimp dumplings and pan fried shrimp and chives. The wrapper of the shrimp dumplings was thick and tough. Shrimp inside seems fresh. The one with chives tasted the same. It was priced $3 and $3.40 on the menu. It was late when we found out that my friend was charged $7.49 for two sets of dim sum. Like last time, no bag, utensils and sauces provided. The only reason that they overcharged us with $1.09 would be the sales tax. I hope we helped them if they pay their taxes. Not supporting this store with bad business practice.

This spot provides passable dim sum at a very cheap price. It's not great food, but it does come in great portions. It's a hole in the wall with hardly any seating. I recommend choosing a bunch of items from the display cases and then heading over to one of the nearby parks, where you can eat and do a little people-watching.

The stars are strictly for the food and not the service. Service was very close to horrible. She just stared at myself and another gentleman that entered until we spoke to her. Maybe this is just small Chinese restaurant attitudes but if you are okay with that I would definitely recommend. I got two orders of the cilantro and shrimp.

It's ok. Tastes fine but not a destination eatery. I got Har Gow and Siu Mai. The Har Gow had very thick and tough skin. On the plus side, it had big chunks of shrimp. Unfortunately, it didn't deliver on taste. Siu Mai was also just okay.

Super hole in the wall spot with delicious dim sum indeed! The older lady working was so kind and the food was so good and inexpensive! The only thing I was not a fan of was the shrimp noodle roll, but the shumai and shrimp, cilantro dumplings were sooo yummy and flavorful. There is only one table so you might have to do takeout!

So I work nearby and I always crave good dim sum! This is the joint for you! Everything was about $3.90 for three pieces, so $20 will buy you 5 items, easily. Service was quick and typical no nonsense style counter service. Bring cash for the cash prices, otherwise you will get a small surcharge. Don't let the ambiance scare you... the food is actually quite good quality, especially for the price. I will be back!

Affordable dim sum amazing authentic quality. This place is a must when you're in town!

I am Chinese and I know what good dimsum should taste like. The price is cheap ~$3.50/3 pcs. And you get what you paid for. The dough is super thick and not cooked through. Only a little bit of meat inside the bao. Hagao skin is super thick and doughy. The noodle shrimp wrap is full of dough. We ordered 9 different items and threw away most of the food. Save yourself some money and eat at the good quality restaurant.

Delicious Dim Sum came highly rated and reviewed, so we decided to come here on our day trip to SF! For the price, it simply can't be beat. We got all of the food pictured for under $20. We got pork bun, rice noodle, pork shumai, and egg roll. All of it was very tasty, my favorite was probably the pork bun. Everything tasted very fresh and authentic, and again, for the price it can't be beat. Each item is about $2-3. Definitely recommend coming here and trying a bunch of different options! It's Chinatown so parking is obviously tough. They also prefer to take cash so keep that in mind.

The steam meat buns, shrimp rolls, har gow, shieu Mai, scallop and cilantro dumplings were great. Great to go dim sum and they open early. Prices are very cheap compared to other establishments and good for eating and walking around the neighborhood

The shrimp dumplings and the chive dumplings are so yummy and I like them very much. My parents and my mother were so sweet and tried so hard to live a good life in USA. I am still alive and eating chive dumplings in Chinatown..and I don't know these people. The nice tour was kind and I am happy you are so nice to Chinatown and people try to be nice..and u can meet me and u can meet me in EUROPE. WHEN I MOVE TO EUROPE!

MAKE SURE YOU TOTAL UP THE COST YOURSELF BEFORE PAYING. I was over charged twice. The last time was by $10... the line was very long so I was quickly pushed out of the shop. The dim sum is good, but the service is incredibly bad. The main lady is so rude.... There are a lot of options China town. Be aware before ordering here.

$17.50 for 5 orders of dim sum which breaks down to about a dollar per item. I think I'm over the Chinatown dim sum takeouts. They're basically fast food mediocre quality if you're desperate for food to eat while trying to find your way through the streets of Chinatown. I would rather have a proper sit down meal. The only thing that was pretty good was the shrimp and chive dumplings -- 3 bites, worth $1? Service is typical lackluster, not rude but not exactly friendly either. I hate when they say: "and then what else?" as you're ordering -- as if they're annoyed that you don't come in with a full list of exactly what you want. #overit

Located on Jackson Street, slightly off the beaten path for most tourists through classic San Francisco Chinatown is this little unassuming dim sum place called Delicious Dim Sum located on Jackson Street, about a block uphill from Grant St. Step up into this little take-out joint, scan the menu and look over the hot trays of freshly made savory offerings laid before you behind the glass counter. Order up from the nice ladies behind the counter. Most everything is great here, especially the little spherical fried dumplings filled with shrimp and chives! They were delicious! We also ordered a few other items and they were also very good! I don't think you can go wrong here.. :) It's too bad we were blocks away to break it out and finally eat what we bought, as we surely would have ordered more from here! Ah we now have another new reason to head to Chinatown again.. Yay!

Across the alley from the Fortune Cookie Company, we spotted this Dim Sum spot and had to pop in to see if they had the Sticky Rice Balls. We had heard someone else order the last ones at another spot and it sounded tasty. After a short wait, we received a friendly greeting. They were out of the sticky rice balls, but she asked if I would wait 5 mins. I also ordered the chive and shrimp dumplings. She offered hot sauce and soy sauce, unlike other spots we tried. There was one table inside, but we decided to take the dim sum we grabbed from various spots to a nearby park. The sticky rice balls were filled with seasoned rice and small pieces of Char Siu. Having just been made, they were hot and delicious! Loved the shrimp and chive as well. I'll be back to this spot. Service was awesome, the dim sum tasty, and there was no crazy line.

Cheaper and with most items, better than the competition! We've come 3x in 3 days... line out the door and worth the wait. GMonkey do usuals: #1 Shrimp Dumpling $2.80 #8 Pork & Shrimp Dumpling $2.80 #12 Sticky Rice Dumpling $2.50 #29 Tapioca Red Bean Cake $2.10 plus tax A terrific deal, while the popular places on main streets charge up to a dollar more on similar items. GMonkey neva had and love #29! There is only one table for dine in but always expect to take out, so bring bag. Service is patient as long as you have an idea of what you want. Bring CASH to save 3% on card purchases in all of Chinatown.

Under rated and much over looked place. Compared to the much more over rated place around the corner Good Mong Kok, never a line and the dumplings didn't shrink over the years. Cost did go up slightly but that was expected. The taste hasn't changed. They are always spot on. I've notice more tourist coming to this place when I am in the neighborhood. My favorites here are the cilantro shrimp, I even had these special ordered to be picked up for my wedding. Their sui mai, pork or beef choice doubles the size of the place around the corner. Do yourself the favor, come here and make this your go to place for dim sum. You won't be disappointed.

There's a good reason why there's a perpetual line out the door. The price is almost absurd (in a good way) considering the huge portions. I especially recommend their shrimp dumplings which are the largest I've seen in a long time and absolutely stuffed! Of course their other offerings are no joke either - simply delicious, as per the restaurant's name. As for service, I didn't get much of it here - the lady behind the counter gave me a flat, disinterested stare and proceeded to cram everything I ordered into plastic containers. But highly efficient! And that's the most important thing. :)

Shanghai dumplings have no soup in them and were overpriced, boba thai tea was overly sweet and mediocre.

This place was along the walk that we took...that was the only reason we stopped here. It was conveniently located just off of Stockton Street so we ordered a few items and asked for a fork and some chopsticks. Rice noodle roll (fun) came with a sauce so a seat would have been nice. Instead, we ate standing on Jackson, trying to balance the plastic takeout container with various goodies. Not exactly the best I've ever had. Grew up eating this stuff so I'm a little biased when it comes to dim sum. It was good, I'll give you that...but even the dependables like the siu mai weren't seasoned enough. Probably not coming back without a request to do so. Lots of other dim sum restaurants...this one was extra average.

Good food, good price (abt $1 per item), good speed! Would definitely go back when in Chinatown.

This has always been my go to to go dim sum place in Chinatown for many years. People need to keep in mind that to go dim sum is not going to be the same as sit down dim sum. Size should be larger and skins are typically thicker. Delicious Dim Sum has all the basic dim sum dishes that you find in other spots and to me tastes good enough. There is almost never a line when I go in the morning but reading other reviews, there seems to be a long line sometimes. The ladies were willing to use our containers and kindly packed them up for us. My brother did eat a piece of plastic wrap which I've never had happen before but it did happen this time.

Ordered some dim sum to go and while the prices are good, I found the dim sum to be very standard and average. Nothing crazy good or amazing but for a quick fix with cheap prices this is definitely a good spot. I wasn't a fan of the steamed bbq pork buns the bread was a bit dry. The filling for everything was delicious and the amount of food we got for the price was really good. The shrimp rice roll order was huge but they only gave us one small soy sauce for the whole order. I liked the texture and how soft the shrimp rice roll and turnip cake was. Everything is pretty fresh.

My go-to dim sum spot in Chinatown and I've tried most. I honestly appreciate this spot because there's rarely ever any like and I'm in and out really fast. The lines at other dim sum spots can get super long. The prices are just like most dim sum spots so nothing special. Very standard prices!

quite a line outside but I thought the dimsum was just ok. the bbq pork buns had a terrible ratio of bao to pork filling, and the same with the sesame balls (low mochi to red bean filling ratio). the rice rolls were waaay too thick. they ran out of pork shu mai so we didn't try those but the shrimp dumplings were decent

Delicious Dim Sum is cleaner, friendlier and cheaper than the few Stockton. I came in and got an order of the chives & shrimp dumplings and 1 potsticker (it's HUGE!). A good breakfast that kept me full til lunch all for $4. Prices are great here, I would continue to come back to try their other dim sum.

An appropriately named spot. That goes without saying. Yet another suitable dim sum spot all within a blocks radius of some other very good ones. There aren't quite as many visual offerings in this spot but still some of the classics. Went on a Saturday at 10am and there was absolutely no line. The pot stickers are like the biggest I have ever seen. The spring rolls were good of course and the sausage roll was just okay. Everything in that picture was about $8.50. It's just insane the bargain you get at some of these places. Every time at these dim sum places the price is half what I think it should be. Maybe I'm crazy. It's getting hard to decipher between dim sum spots now. But I'll tell you this spot was legit. (4.4 Stars)

Doesn't get much better than this. Delicious, cheap, in the heart of Chinatown. You can ignore the less-than-glowing health inspection certificates. This is not an establishment where you will sit down and eat inside.

We got a smattering of dim sum and they were all good! Our favorites were the rice balls, cilantro shrimp, and shrimp dumplings. Small place, mostly to-go, but we scored the one table in the back.

June is Dragon Boat Festival season and Chinese people eat Joong / Zongzi. They list $3.80 each, on their menu board, but they are literally the only one that charge tax on it out of the ten+ we visited to compare. $4.12 after tax. We bought lots from each place that was $4 or less to try, if we were aware, we would have bought a lot less and only gotten enough to cut open to share instead of one per person. Not only did they charge tax, it was cold when they gave it to us, so I'm not sure they're supposed to be able to charge tax on to go cold food that is best be eaten hot. Their Zongzi is about 12oz each, has fatty pork, egg and Chinese sausage. Alot of places don't have the sausage. Still, I would not recommend. There are cheaper, tastier ones and the cheapest ones on Stockton, and the largest ones are next door also cheaper.
