Dim sum spells mystery, with all those circulating carts of bamboo steamers hiding an exotic mix of bite-size gems. At Yank Sing, mystery is a beautiful thing, in the form of more than 60 different kinds of dumplings (go for the Shanghai pork), spring rolls, lettuce cups filled with minced chicken, skewers of barbecue pork, and stuffed lotus leaves, Don't pass up the Peking duck, served by the slice with slivered scallions and a dab of Hoisin sauce on a steamed bun.
Housed in the Rincon Center atrium (there's a take-out version just outside, and another branch at 49 Stevenson Street), Yank Sing lives up to its reputation as having dim sum fit for an emperor. On weekends, parking is free at the Rincon Center (with restaurant validation).
