Scallion pancakes were phenomenal!

There were three vegan dumplings identified on the menu and all were good, but the SCALLION PANCAKES were the star of the day for both vegans and non-vegans in our group.

Pros: Clearly marked vegan options, Enough variety to make a meal

Excellent traditional (if expensive) cart-style dim sum

I wanted to cap off my birthday weekend in SF with some traditional dim sum, and also needed a place that was open on the weekend earlier than 11am as I had to get to the airport. Thankfully, Yank Sing filled both of these criteria.

Note many other places that show up in the city as "dim sum" esp. the vegetarian ones DO have some dim sum appetizer dishes available but they are (a) limited or made to order, focusing mostly on entrees and (b) not cart style which is its own genre.

Reviews on the other Yank Sing location were mixed due to some menu confusion but thankfully this location has CLEARLY marked (V) vegetarian and (VE) vegan dishes. There's 4 different vegan dumplings available right off the cart -- snowpea shoots, mushroom, spinach, and mixed vegetable (which is veg+curry spice). All of them are phenomenal. There's also gai lan (chinese broccoli) which is easily veganized by omitting the oyster sauce and scallion cakes which are a must try.

It's worth noting the scallion cakes are NOT the fried pancakes you usually see in Chinese restaurants, they'd be better described as flaky southern biscuits filled with finely minced scallions.

Also, this place is E X P E N S I V E, like $7-8 per dish, which translates to like $3-4 per dumpling (Served in quantities of 2 or 3 depending), and can be some sticker shock if you're used to the really cheap eats in Chinatown. This can add up if you and your dining companions are hungry. I personally thought it was worth it.

(Bonus for the super hungry: the cart rolls up nearly immediately after you sit down, literally no waiting to get your food)

Pros: Excellent quality food, Fast service (seat to eat in

Cons: Expensive, Reservations recommended
