YANK SING

The roots go back to 1958, but Yank Sing's dim sum has taken on a contemporary aura with the third generation of the Chan family now in place. On any given day the carts will be filled with 80 items, including the "creative collection" of unusual dim sum. During the week, the food is served in the pleasantly appointed dining room, but on weekends the tables spill out into the lobby of Rincon Center, creating enough space for 500. There's also a small, more casual location on Stevenson Street, where the food is equally fresh and inviting.
