yank sing is good- very; actually
Ton Kiang is good- on Geary in the Richmond

Broadway Dim sum on broadway in chinatown is great- divey, but really yummy and cheap!

I have had good luck at "You's" in China Town. Really anyplace around China Town is tasty. But I like You's....hmmmmmm

i tend to like small places, so usually go to Do Ho with my mom. i'll sometimes go to gold mountain...don't like the rice crepes there tho, pretty tasteless, but i like the variety that big places have.

love Harbor Village down in embarcadero, but pricey. really scandalized the place when i went with a group of leather daddies and their boys. haven't been able to wear my leather there ever again.

Yank Sing is ok, as long as you stay away from the normal dim sum, their plain dim sum is just nasty, stick with their fancy stuff, that's where they really shine.

In Chinatown, I go to Kay Cheung (Jackson @ Kearney), Yong Kee (a block up Jackson from KC and across the street), or Lychee Garden (Powell @ Broadway). You's (there are a couple locations in Chinatown) has decent takeout.

In the Richmond, I go to Good Luck (Clement @ 9th). Also, mostly take-out, but the biggest portions at the best prices in SF.

Unlikely location, extremely fresh, unbelievably cheap ...

freezing cold inside but I'd wear a jacket and eat down there any day over some nasty tasting joint with a more comfortable interior.
