Wing Sing Dim Sum — Restaurant in San Francisco

We stopped here to pick up dim sum on our way to the San Francisco Airport. It was really good even though we visited at the end of the day. For those that don't know, dim sum is a breakfast/ brunch meal of various dumplings and Chinese pastries, and it is best fresh.

I tried the dimsums and they were even lower quality than GOOD MONGKOK up the block (line out the door w/ clueless tourists).Thus, stick with the rice+3, its fresh but minimal quality for $10.
