Lai Hong Lounge 荔香小館

Very popular, so be prepared for a 20 minute wait for a table. Staff was fast and efficient, and pretty much everything was delicious.

Everything we ordered was awesome and the crowd is all local so you know it's good

Get the pear shaped yam dim sum ! Probably the best item on the basis of taste, creativity and presentation. https://www.instagram.com/p/BvIOB1DjNS1/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=ulcb2sg2d47q

Walnut shrimp , any of the dim sum with shrimp , fried rice , whole duck , coffee ribs (insane topping), and a giant mango jello in the shape of a fish .

Large portions . Get the tofu skin rolls, tofu tamago, tripe in clay pot , and beef and rice cake .

Really delicious dim sum . Outdated decor, but food is amazing ????. Try almond balls dessert .

The dry fry string beans and the baked BBQ pork buns are worth coming back for again and again

Make reservations for big groups this place gets crazy packed. Overall all the dimsum we tried we ok. A dimsum is a dimsum is a dimsum ????

Leading quality items are baked pork buns . Chiu Chau fen gow (peanut pork dumpling ). Mushroom pork noodle roll . Shrimp noodle .

Definetely recommends dim sum was authentic , get the pig intestines with green beans , char siu shou and egg tarts

When the place is jam packed with old Cantonese folks on a Wednesday at 1pm, you know it's good

Good dim sum . 20-minute wait at 2pm on a Sunday. Friends said this place is relatively undiscovered, well known only within the SF Cantonese community.

Place your order by ticking off boxes on a menu, but you may need to flag someone down to get your order.

The gigantic plate of homestyle noodles . PF tofu skins/shrimp. S/P eggplant . Mushroom Pork Roll .

Known for dim sum . Staff is very Chinese, no carts so you will have to read the menu carefully. Some unique items here.
