Dim Sum comes in all different shapes and sizes and isn't a specific dish and it is a variety of dishes. Although, many restaurants serve Dim Sum, not everywhere has the same items on their menus. It usually comes with one to four pieces in a dish and is placed in small plates.
In San Francisco, there are quite a few Chinese restaurant where they serve Dim Sum. But one of my favorites is Hong Kong Lounge in the Richmond district. Some of my favorite dishes there is the claypot rice, hai gow, sui mi, shanghai dumplings, and chicken feet. I know what am I thinking...CHICKEN FEET?
Yes, CHICKEN FEET! I think everyone should at least try it once in their life. Chicken feet is deep fried and then its steamed with some sauce and is delicious. It is one of my must get dish at Dim Sum.
If anyone plans to make a trip down to Hong Kong Lounge, I recommend that you go super early because this restaurant is quite popular in the neighborhood. The restaurant opens at 10:30 am on weekdays and at 10 am on weekends. But since Sunday is considered to be family day for Chinese families, it is going to extremely crowded. Once you reach Geary and 17th Avenue, you will see a big crowd and you'll know you have arrived at the restaurant. The wait time for Dim Sum is usually around an hour and a half to two hours. But it is definitely worth the wait.
Try it and judge it for yourself.
