Best WLM Reviews

February 2024:
Enjoyed a lunch on a busy Saturday. We tried some dim sum and a few noodle dishes.
I liked the bitter melon spareribs chow fun. The sauce was a black bean gravy style. Very tasty ????. The second noodle dish was a fish fillet mushroom chow mein that was also very tasty ????. I would order both noodles again!
Also tried a green bean stir fry. Good flavors.
Dim sum that we tried was the steamed pork buns, sticky rice, and har gow. I only tried the pork bun, which was very good.
Will be back again for more delicious food!
This is a dim sum place in the Richmond district - Balboa and 36th Avenue. It's so unusual to have a strictly dim sum type of restaurant so far away from Chinatown and Richmond Chinatown (5th to 10th Avenues on Clement Street). Parking is not easy, depending on when you are going. It's street parking in a neighborhood that has many houses with garages.
The outside of the restaurant doesn't look anything different. Once you enter the restaurant, it's spacious. I believe this will be popular for Chinese weddings, baby parties, etc. because there are no obstructed views and the banquet prices are way more reasonable than elsewhere in SF. The food is served temperature hot - it does not sit in a steamer but is made when you order and brought to you immediately. Menu is simple and has most of the expected dim sum dishes. Ingredients are fresh and shrimps in haw gow is whole rather than sliced. The sesame balls outer shell could be thinner with more filling. The scallop dumpling is excellent. It's different - savory and scallop just melts in your mouth. Since I am not a fan of parsley and onions (it reminds me of the old time dim sum where everything had onions and parsley), I wouldn't go out of my way to come here but will come to entertain friends because of its cleanness. Food presentation is excellent. Servers were more friendlier and helpful than the waiter/waitresses. There were no greeter. You need to catch the eye of a waiter or maitre d to be seated. Once seated, the service is hot/cold, depending on how crowed the restaurant is.
May 11.2024..day before mother day...we arrive at 10:25...was seated right away...not 20 minutes later they had a line out the door..so make a reservation!
That's not an option! ????
The food was again great ????..
A must for the table pecking duck....
Foodie: I'll set the table for you
Walk right in at 11:30..no problem getting an table..it did fill up. quick..ppl were looking around at other table to see what was ordered..the staff Will hand out the menu to circle what you want...not in the best English...so it's confusing.
If you don't know what to order it will be challenging their staff doesn't speak too much English.we found that the food is great ????.
The price is just right for an neighborhood restaurant
March 16.2023 ..we definitely will be back to try their dinners ..they need to train their staff to up sale the house specials ..the crab noodles..is a Must yummy... special Menu ????
We went in for dim sum on Friday morning, and really enjoyed every dish! The scallop fried rice had a nice texture and a subtle flavor. The jellyfish and seaweed was beautifully presented, slight spice to it, and delicious. The green onion pancakes were very light and tasty.
You may need a phone to browse their menu and order. Initially I had a problem with getting no signal - probably owing to the new building's thick walls. They have a wifi network and password - keep an eye out for it, or ask the staff.
Not pictured: We also ordered sesame balls, which I ate before taking a picture, crab siu mai (also yum and substantial) and Shanghai soup dumplings. The sesame balls has a lovely texture between light crisp and chewy. They don't skimp on siu mai filling, and the Shanghai soup dumplings were definitely filled with soup (I find this can be hit or miss at some places).
Definitely can't wait to go back. Glad this is finally open!
Love this place, can’t wait to go back. The highlights included the best Peking Roasted Duck I’ve ever had. The atmosphere was lively and service was fast. Other menu standouts included the mapo tofu, honey walnut prawns, and homemade pastry’s.
Food tasty, but in a pricy side. Worth to try out, good to be with friends or family. They have lunch break, start again in 5 pm. If $$$ not a issue, then nice place to go. :-)
Nice dim sum place in Richmod district. This is our new goto place for dim sum now. A little pricier than other places, but the cleanliness of the place and the quality of the food make it worthwhile to pay a little bit more.
Cousin invited us to Southern Chinese style banquet here. Food was excellent, very well prepared and tasty. A particular standout dish was the squid and scallop with American broccoli which was perfectly just done, both vegetable and squid were flavored and tender without being overcooked. The restaurant handled the many courses and large party with excellent service.
