Tips
- Koi does dim sum best, esp #308 (crisp fish filet in rice roll), #288 (grilled chive & shrimp dumpling), #268 (baked egg custard bun)!
- This Daly City spot in the Serramonte strip mall is legit. Its loud, overwhelming, and totally worth it. Dim sum is lunch only, but served every day.
- Best Dim Sum in SF Bay Area
- Perhaps the best Bay Area dimsum. If you must visit on a weekend, do yourself a huge favor and line up 15 min before they open. Otherwise, you could be looking at a 1+hr wait.
- Get there before 11 or be prepared for a 1-2 hour wait. Lunch favs - #223, #201, #307, and #510 for dessert.
- Brave the brutal lines and chaos for the juicy dumplings filled with crisp-skinned suckling pig:
- Get the dim sum!
- Lamb buns in clay pot. So cute and tasty :)
- If you like durian, you MUST try the durian paste puff pastry. And also stop by the counter to purchase the dragon beard candy--traditional chinese sweets. This place is quality dim sum you can taste!
- For something different, try the coffee ribs and duck burrito
- Get to know the hosts. They will get u a table in front of the line. Lol.
- Adrian Hoffman, chef of Lark Creek Restaurant Group, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Crab xiao long bao.
- Seafood stars here, including sweet prawns simply steamed and served with a soy dipping sauce spiked with chiles.
- Specialties: Dim sum, including lobster and Shanghai crab dumplings; garlic pea shoots; all seafood, especially shrimp, abalone and geoduck; steamed whole fish; roast suckling pig.
- Arrive early
- They're very crowded so it's better to go early. Their food is very delicious.
- On weekends you'd better come early! Huge line.
- be sure to order at least 1 order of egg custards per person. this place gets the egg custard award!
- Must orders: 1) Egg Yolk Lava Bun; 2) Crisp Fish Filet in Rice Roll; and 3) Osmanthus & Medlar Pudding
- Get there early. Otherwise prepare for 30+ min wait
