Daytrip Dim Sum Daytrip by: MichaLola
One of the most popular aspects of San Francisco is its booming and lively Chinese fare. Thus, for a city with one of the best Chinatown district's, it is only logical that this bustling metropolis would also be the best place to find....DIM SUM! This heavenly dish has over 2,000 varieties, from the savory and meaty to light vegetarian delights. Not only is it a tasty meal, but the ritual of ordering them is a pleasure in itself. Waiters come by with dumpling-trolleys and offering a diverse array of dim sum and delights nestled in bamboo steamers. Hungry yet? Then take this Dim Sum Daytrip through San Francisco where you'll find the best Dim Sum eateries in town.

Open:

Address:
835 Pacific Ave. 
MichaLola's note for Y Ben House Restaurant:
Though its not the cleanest joint, it makes up for it with its melt-in-your-mouth dim sum delights. Expect a noisy crowd, which can make the dining experience even more enjoyable.
Open:

Address:
736 Clement St., San Franciso 
MichaLola's note for Good Luck Dim Sum:
Try the delectable pan-fried turnip cake. Clement Street also has a lot of other things to explore such as the "Green Apple Bookshop" as well as hoards of cheap shopping delights.
3. Dol Ho
Open:

Address:
808 Pacific Ave., San Francisco 
MichaLola's note for Dol Ho:
One of the most popular dishes is the Chive and Shrimp Dumplings. This unusual combination has mouthwatering, tender shrimp punctuated by the tangy chives and wrapped in light rice wrapper.
4. Yank Sing
Open:

Address:
One Rincon Center, 101 Spear St.,  
MichaLola's note for Yank Sing:
A must-try is the Woo Gok (deep-fried, pork-filled taro dumplings) and the Har Gao (shrimp dumplings).
5. City View
Open:

Address:
662 Commercial Street / Montgomery & Kearny streets 
MichaLola's note for City View:
The food is not too greasy and has a massive selection of dim sum and other dishes. A must-try non-dim sum dish is the Fu Jian Fried Rice which will most definitely fill you up.
Open:

Address:
760 Clay Street near Grant Ave 
MichaLola's note for Oriental Pearl (Chinatown):
Though the food is more of an "Americanized" version of Chinese food, which can be blamed on the many tourists venturing through here, it is still a great place to eat. Highly recommended dishes include: peppery tofu soup with shrimp, spicy braised prawn and braised duck.
