Yank Sing — meaning "city of the ram," in reference to Canton, the capital of the Chinese Guangdong province famous for dim sum — was one of only a few area dim sum restaurants when Alice Chan opened the eatery in 1958. Now run by a third generation of the Chan family, the restaurant shines even among many, thanks to its nearly 100 varieties of Chinese small plates served daily. The two Financial District locations bustle with heavy lunchtime crowds, as banking professionals down plates of pork dumplings, curried shrimp- and cheese-stuffed won tons, and deep-fried crab claws. Voted Best Dim Sum in 2008 7x7 San Francisco magazine and SF Weekly readers polls. One of the San Francisco Chronicle's Top 100 Restaurants of 2007. Full bar. Serving lunch daily.
