House of Dim Sum — Local services in San Francisco

WARNING if you don’t want to be surprised with your bill, READ THIS! this place practices a shady game of not telling you the prices until you receive an outrageous bill. when i walked in they handed me a checklist to order on (NO PRICES). i asked for specific prices and the lady at the front pointed to the window display in front of the food. the prices came out to be much higher than the prices they had on display. when i asked the lady to explain the bill to me (BTW NO ITEMIZED RECEIPT) she was very rude and was yelling me. initially she said i ordered something i didn’t and then when i showed her the picture i had taken of the food she was too stunned to speak.

I hope the owner be aware of the one bad apple working in his store front. Other than that incident and that particular dishonest employee, I believe that most the other employees were helpful and honest, particularly the older ladies; most of all, the food was good for the price. As native Cantonese speaker and tried many different...

House of Dim Sum has a few locations around san francisco and this is the newest one they have. The ladies working there are so sweet and fast. As the name suggests,they serve dim sum but also other Chinese dishes. You can dine in but it's just a few small tables further inside the store and they seem to always be occupied with people. We did take-out and ate our orders at one of the parks since it was such a nice weather outside.

The char siu bao had a nice glossy and sweet tasting glaze on top. Filling tasted delicious but wished it had a bit more inside. The har gow and siu mai were decent. Nothing really special,just okay,it'll...
