“I wasn't really too impressed. It wasn't bad but it definitely didn't have a nice texture, kinda hardened up.”

North Beach/Telegraph Hill, San FranciscoMixed
On a recommendation from locals, Roger tried this North Beach dim sum spot during a Chinatown visit; the har gow and siu mai were only middling, with a texture he found too hardened, though he noted attentive service and said there was more SF dim sum to explore.
The documented visit included har gow and siu mai. This record does not turn that order into a recommendation.

“I wasn't really too impressed. It wasn't bad but it definitely didn't have a nice texture, kinda hardened up.”
Roger and a Hong Kong-raised friend sought out dim sum in San Francisco's Chinatown on a local recommendation; the har gow and siu mai fell short with a hardened texture, though service was attentive with steady tea refills, and he figured there was more dim sum in SF still to try.
An all-day dim sum spot in Rolando that Roger found run by longtime restaurateur Michael, with banquet-style Cantonese white-tablecloth service and staff who keep the tea pot filled.
