  Food was delicious and everything was cheap. My only recommendation is coming in earlier to get more selections. If you come in after 4 pm, they're gonna run out of certain things. Other than that, some of items were not warm enough and skin of the dough is thicker than usual.
  
  Theres only one table in the store,
  So make sure to order to go if you cant find a seat.

  I perused yelp for reviews of quick dim sum in Chinatown while in SF. We decided on Delicious Dim Sum since it was close to some of the bakeries we wanted to go to after we had our dim sum fix.
  
  There were two people in line ahead of us. Ordering was quick and easy and we were lucky enough to grab a seat at the only table inside.
  
  They have all of the dim sum faves in steam trays with fresh dim sum coming out of the kitchen. If you're looking to just have dim sum and not the whole experience of hot tea and steam carts coming to your table, Delicious Dim Sum hits the spot.
  
  The dumplings were large and filling. At first we thought we didn't order enough, but halfway through we realized we ordered just right.
  
  They have sodas and water available too. The wall was lined with a few chairs to eat at if the table was occupied.
  
  After you eat here, you can cross the street into Ross ally to get fresh fortune cookies at Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Company. It's a win win for some of the best Chinatown has to offer.

  Always hyped to try out new dimsum places in SF because I feel like I'm still looking for my go-to. I had been to Good Mong Kok and thought this place would be similar since it had good reviews and was also a to-go place.
  
  The nice thing about this place is that there isn't a line and there's a bit of seating. However I was sad that all the things we ordered weren't hot :( everything was a bit lukewarm.
  
  The food wasn't hot and didn't taste very fresh. The one thing was super great was the shrimp dumpling. Also the woman that was serving us I think misunderstood and gave us one of the wrong items instead of the one we'd ordered. Even more sadly, the one she gave us was like a bun with yellow custard inside and the white part of the bun was SO dry. Literally couldn't finish it.
  
  Wish this place's food was more fresh because the prices are really cheap.

  The price cannot be beat. I got about 10 dumplings for $10. I know you may be thinking that's expensive but these aren't your average size dim sum, they are HUGE. I ordered the shrimp and chive, pork and shrimp, regular shrimp, and pork shumai just to give you a general idea. All of them were absolutely delicious.
  
  The service was a bit rushed but that's pretty average for the area. I will say, one of the ladies serving the dumplings sneezed and blew her nose without washing her hands. Thank God she was not the one to serve my food. Honestly, you never know who could do that anywhere and it's always a risk but witnessing it was kind of gross. Some people might be bothered by that, others might not. Just wanted to share in case!

  The steamed food is kept warm, but unless you're lucky, you're not going to get freshly made dishes. But if you're willing to overlook that, this place really satisfies your dim sum cravings for less than $10pp!
  
  We came around 11am on a Sunday and there was no line. Just go in, list off your order, pay, and leave. Don't forget to ask for forks/napkins/soy sauce/spicy sauce! I would recommend any of the shrimp items and the sesame balls!
  
  FOOD:
  - Shrimp dumplings (5/5): A classic.
  - Shrimp rice rolls (4/5): The ratio of shrimp to rice roll was a bit off, but still tasted good!
  - Taro cake (2/5): Didn't like this one - also I don't eat pork and I believe these have pork in them.
  - Beef shumai (3/5): The flavor (smell?) of the meat was really overwhelming, and I didn't enjoy it. But my friend did!
  - Sesame balls (5/5): I LOOVE sesame balls. They weren't hot/fresh from the fryer, but so chewy and delicious.
  - Egg custard buns (2/5): Wouldn't recommend. The filling is yummy but I was expecting the bun to be fluffy and it wasn't - it was quite dense.
