Yank Sing
Yank Sing (Stevenson Street)
A family-owned dim sum institution founded in 1958, retaining traditional cart service. Recipient of the James Beard Award and Michelin Bib Gourmand.
Founded by the Chan family in 1958 and now run by the third generation, Yank Sing won the James Beard America's Classics Award in 2009 and is a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant. Over 100 varieties of dim sum rotate on pushcarts. The signature Kurobuta Pork Shanghai Kurobuta Xiao Long Bao is about $14 for six pieces, and the Har Gow (shrimp dumplings) is also highly praised. Prices are not marked on the carts and are charged by plate type; average cost is usually $40-$60 per person, higher than Chinatown dim sum. The Rincon Center branch closed in September 2026, leaving this as the sole location. Open for lunch only; arriving at opening or before noon is recommended. Located on Stevenson Street in the Financial District, within walking distance of Montgomery BART Station.
