Dim sum along with other Chinese dishes is also easily found due to SF’s Chinatown, the largest in North America. While in Chinatown and in the mood for Chinese food you might want to visit Sam Wo where the service is terrible but the food is great, or if you are in the mood for American food make it BurgerMeister, where they have the best burgers at reasonable prices.
