City View Restaurant

Oh man, what a great meal. Our son (who lives in Berkeley) frequents this place. We hit it for lunch while in SF today. Tried 9 different dishes and all were great...I mean really great. Very nice and modern restaurant. Service was good, but classic non-interactive Chinese service. I can't say enough about the food.

The dim sum here was very good. I had Pork Siu Mai dumplings, the Peking Duck with buns, and Green Beans with Garlic. For drinks I had some tea. The service was very good here too. It is a place I would return to.

Dim sum restaurant in China town with thoughtful Chinese decor, having both Chinese and Non Chinese Clientele. It has some special dim sum dishes like Peking duck, crab claws, both delicious. The dim sum is good: the cilantro rice roll is a bit thick with limited cilantro, the scallop siu mai is a bit plain , the shrimp egg roll is very good. If you are in China town, this is worthy a visit.

I thought the food was pretty good for the most part but a little pricey for dim sum. My favorite thing though was the garlic green beans, omg so addictive and perfectly crisp and flavorful. The scallop shumai and stuffed eggplant and tofu were very good. Taro puffs were just ok imo. Restaurant was clean and the service was great.

Dimsum place next to Portmorth parking garage in China town. This restaurant spellcialized in peking duck. They only serve dinner Friday and Saturday. Other days just lunch. We arrived around 1 pm and there are people waiting. The restaurant interior is nice. Menu is simple for dimsum. The dimsum dishes are commonly found in all dimsum place. We ordered lo mai kai, string bean, XO rice noodle, chicken feet, fried glutinous ball, and pan fry turnip. The order was ready pretty quickly. The dishes are ok. The highlight is the green beans for me. The rest are average. The XO rice roll is a bit too sweet. Pricewise may be on the higher side as this is Chinatown where you can get cheaper dimsum somewhere else. We cannot really compare as this is restaurant and other cheaper dimsum place around C
