Hang Ah Restaurant

Really good dim sum food can be enjoyed here. We all ordered different food items and shared. Our waiter was very helpful, friendly, and attentive. When our food came out we were blown away by how amazingly tasty the food was. It looks like this place has been here for a very long time and has the history in pictures on the wall. Highly recommended for sure!

Decided to try this restaurant last minute and was so so satisfied with the food! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was amazing. The man in the restaurant was so nice and offered us water and cookies even tho we had a take out order. Food was delicious while cold so I can imagine how delicious it’d be fresh! Also the chilli oil IS SOO GOOD!

Sorry we ate everything. Definitely going back. Authentic and delightful. You know, it's good when all the mahjong players come in with their wads of cash to get some dumplings.

For about 100 years or so this restaurant has been serving dim sum, quite possibly the first in the United States. We found this little restaurant like many online and we're also a little skeptical. The food and service were outstanding. The dim sum menu was very comprehensive and featured some rare treats. We visited on a mid-afternoon and were one of three tables in the restaurant. For an authentic and signature dim sum experience in Dan Francisco, I would give this place a try.

This restaurant showed up when I googled for best Chinese restaurant in the area. It was raining and cold and I was looking for hot soup. The food here is very nice, straightforward and tasty. The dumpling soup is very tasty, thin skin and the soup inside just burst in your mouth. My favourite is the charcoal bun with salted custard inside. It is very soft and fresh. My partner also loved his beef brisket noodles. I will definitely come back here again if I will visit San Francisco again.

I am a big fan of Asian Cuisine. My favorites being Dim Sum, Dumplings, Buns, and Won Ton. Hang Ah is a must stop visit especially if you are visiting SF. Chinatown. Hang Ah was established in 1920 and the food has always had a successful track record and is still impressive in 2024. I love Hang Ah and I hope it never changes the successful approach to Asian cuisine.

Came here on Christmas Day, and we all had a lovely time! Ordered over 20 items, all delicious! This is the oldest continuously running dim sum restaurant and it still feels old fashioned so don’t expect the relatively more elaborate amenities of lazy Susan tables and carts. What matters most is the food which was all amazing

One thing I appreciate this place is its history. The oldest dimsum restaurant in the US. They keep the place small, clean, professional operations under the family business. Food is alright, it tastes original to me, at the same time, I know this is not suit for everyone. If you expect more seasoning, more add-ons in these traditional dishes just like other dimsum chain, you will be disappointed. But if you want to enjoy the local and traditional ingredients (pretty basic and boring sometimes), here is the place for you. I only wish that they serve tea instead of cold water as a welcome drink. Well, it is just me then, who enjoys hot tea no matter how the weather is.

It is a small in the hole restaurant! There was a few people in the restaurant with 1 guy taking orders and serving so we got pretty slow service! The milk iced tea was ok it contained wayyyyyy too much ice! We also ordered the shrimp dim sum, egg rolls, Hong Kong style beef chow fun, and popcorn chicken. The dim sum was ok, I’ve had better. The egg rolls were a bit greasy! Now the Hong Kong beef chow fun and the popcorn chicken were our highlight!!!!! It was amazing!!!!! All of this fed 2 of us and came to $65. We would hands down order the Hong Kong beef chow fun and the popcorn chicken again!!!!! Overall great food!!! Would definitely come back!

Like people have said, not necessarily the best tasting restaurant for dim sum, but it is nice to support a small business that's been around and get to say you're been to the first one in the US since the 1920s. :) It was empty when we went in midday Thursday. We got the fried stuff eggplant, curry fishballs and lotus wrapsticky rice. The eggplant had fried shrimp inside and was the favorite. The fishballs tasted different than the ones I usually eat (it tasted artificial :/), and the curry was spicier than expected.

I normally don’t leave reviews like this it I have to. The waiter that served us was touching money and did not wash his hands before and garnished the food with dirty hands and served us as well as other tables. The tables were not clean and the atmosphere was dirty and unsanitary. The service was meh they ignored us for a while and gave us dirty cups, plates, and spoons. The food was good best chili oil I have ever had and the dim sum was delicious. Place was horrible located. The first dim sum house in America. Would not come back.

Location can be little confusing since its in an alley, but pretty noticeable from Sacramento street heading towards Stockton and right across the newly upgraded Willie “Woo Woo” Wong Playground. Having lived in the neighborhood for almost six years, we didn’t even notice this place- the first Dim Sum place in the US- so says the sign! Food is hit or miss. Turnip cake and shu mai were good. Foil wrap chicken wasn’t to my liking, it just left a bad taste. We did get a combination plate A, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Just pick the items you like from their dim-sum specialities. We have had better dim-sum around sunset/Richmond districts, but this place does seem to have lot of history so worth the try. Bathroom definitely need to be upgraded. Service was ok.

After about ten years, another trip to this ancient restaurant. Food was very good particularly the dumplings and make sure you get the Lo bak go (turnip cakes) which was excellent. But the siu lung bow was dry and not a drop of soup in them. DO NOT get those as it was one of the worst. Very nostalgic as they had pictures of all the Ms. Chinatown pageants on the wall and I found both of my sisters on the 1968 pageant. A nice touch!

We came here for lunch on a Tuesday at noon, and there was no one here when we arrived. The waiter was very friendly and attentive, and although they messed up our order at first they quickly corrected it. All the food we got was pretty decent but not the best.

I’ve always wanted to come to Hang Ah but it was closed whenever I showed up at odd hours for San Francisco Chinatown. Today we stayed at the local Hilton so we were there early for Jasmine Oolong tea 🍵 and dim sum. The scallion pancakes were okay, pretty BreAsh and a lot of food. I took a lot to go and enjoyed them more on a second helping! I didn’t like the pork potstickers, not fried enough, too wet. Others may enjoy, the taste was great. The sauces were excellent. I came for the history and Hang Ah delivers :) The traditional Chinese round door, old photographs on the walls and the overall ambiance and feel were exactly what I desired. I would love to bring a good book here and read for three hours over dim sum and hot tea!

Loved both our dumpling combinations. Everything tasted amazing and we had plenty of food for 2 people. This is the oldest Dim Sum place in SF.

So they say the best Dim Sum comes from the hole in the walls. Well people, here you go. Delicious!!! The atmosphere leaves something to be desired. But I’ll telling you the food is first rate.

History speaks when you are at a location like this. Location and staff were nice but was expecting a bit from a location of this stature for the food to be the best.

I recently visited this dim sum restaurant, but found the experience just okay. The food was decent, but nothing stood out. The place itself felt old and dated, lacking the ambiance you'd expect. Overall, it was an average meal in a setting that could use some updating.

Yes, it's a bit overhyped by the fact they're an institution serving dim sum and hot tea for over a hundred years. The menu covers the basics of dim sum - siu mai, dumplings, spareribs, baos, etc. Plenty of tables and seats for small groups or couples. It feels very historic indeed. Service was a bit slow albeit we went for a 1pm lunch off peak. Would rec the siu mai, chili wontons and stuffed tofu. BBQ buns were a bit too floppy. No big surprises, and personally I'd say there are better spots with variety and quality dim sum.

Old school, bare bones kind of place. If you’re expecting fancy, gourmet Chinese food, this isn’t your place. The service was swift and the food was decent and tasty. Much like something you might get at a Chinese takeout place. I’d go again, but I wouldn’t make a great effort to go often… that said, I would try some different things. There was a lot on the menu!

Hang Ah Tea Room brands itself as the oldest dim sum house in the USA. It probably gets a lot of tourist visits. The place itself is a bit old in decor, the food is reasonable. The dimsum is not the best but they are tasty, and the beef chow fun was good and the vegetables were cooked well. For dessert we have the fried sesame balls - and they are yummy. Friendly staffs.

I finally had the chance to visit Hang Ah Tea Room in San Francisco with my mom a spot we’ve always heard about as being the first tea room in the United States. It’s definitely a piece of history, and you can feel that charm the moment you walk in. We ended up ordering the chow fun, which was actually really good flavorful with a nice texture, though I do wish there had been a bit more noodles since the dish leaned heavier on vegetables. Most of the dim sum items were around $8–$9, and the portions were okay, not really shareable. Prices felt a little on the higher end, but that seems fairly typical for the area. The service was a bit brisk but from what I noticed in Chinatown overall, that seems to be the general vibe. What I really loved, though, were the historic touches: photos of Asian American pageant queens and vintage articles that tell the story of the tea room’s legacy. It’s like stepping into a piece of cultural history. It’s definitely worth visiting at least once for the nostalgia and experience, though I’ll admit it’s probably not a place I’d rush back to. Still, I’m glad we got to experience it together and check it off our list.

It's over 100 years ago, this was the first place to bring Cantonese-style 點心 (Dim Sum) to the US. So I had to come here for it's historical significance. Once you walk in, you can see a couple artifacts, like their original menu. Service was OK, but there could be some improvements to be more professional. First, they didn't ask me what type of tea I'd like, I actually had to tell them. It's customary to ask the type of tea first when someone enters. Getting Dim Sum is called 飲茶 ("Yum Cha", drinking tea) for a reason. You had to flag someone down. That's is more Chinese-style service. From putting in the order, it took 12 minutes for the 叉燒包(Char Siu Bao) +蝦餃 (Har Gow/Shrimp Dumplings) to come out. The shrimp weren't soaked in alkaline water and then washed for sweetness, the skin was loose, sort of flopped all over the place. Char Siu Bao didn't have enough Char Siu sauce, Char Siu sauce wasn't red enough, but it had the right amount of slight sweetness the it without being too sweet, but I felt the rice bread to stuffing ratio was a bit off, and there could have been a bit more Char Siu stuffing. Another 4 minutes later, the 鳳爪 (Phoenix claws) came out. I'm used to my Phoenix Claws being more on the sweet side, and much more softer. These weren't as soft, and although 豆豉 (fermented soy beans) are in the name, I feel the fermented soybean flavor was a bit TOO heavy for my liking. It did feature a nice spicy kick to it (must have used 老乾媽chili sauce), different but still not bad. That last bit of Har Gow was so loose, it just dissipated, feel from my chopsticks, and broke down on the table. After 19 minutes of eating, the 燒賣 ("Siu Maai" Pork+shrimp dumplings) still hadn't arrived, I had to remind the waiter, but luckily it came out quickly after within the minute --I suspect they had to take someone else's order. Had enough flavor, but the skin was too loose and sagged so much, that the steam water had collected inside, and exploded out from it. When I asked for the bill though, they showed some trees by saving me from pocketing at extra physical copy of the receipt which I would've thrown away anyways. Plus, she saved me from having to choose the tip amount in front of them, which is embarrassing to be stared down at, and she only took out 15%. Take that as you may, for the quality of service and the food. It's worth checking out. *Pro-tip*: Bring cash. You get a slight discount, and you can dictate the tip level.

For the price point, either the dim sum could be stepped up or the decor could undergo a long-deferred makeover. Touted as the oldest dim sum parlor in America (circa 1920), the walls are adorned with Miss Chinatown pageant photos from the 1950s and 1960s. A treasure trove of local Chinese-American history. Long-list of steamed and boiled dumplings (though Shiu Mai noticeably missing). Salt and Pepper Squid, crunchy battered and fragrantly chillied with chopped jalapeño. Steamed BBQ Pork Buns, likely better at other locations. A great try for the historical significance. Another visit, however, might be best enjoyed elsewhere in Chinatown.

As a child, I was impressed with Hang Ah decor. As you entered the doorway, a beautiful Chinese rock garden (a single rock decorated with miniature Chinese figurines of China village life) faced you. It even had streams and rivers with water flowing. I just enjoyed looking at it. It was peaceful and pretty. Waitresses carried trays of hot dim sum platters and bamboo trays. You just point to what you wanted. Prices were based on the size of the basket or plates. Some even carried steaming water entrees. Once larger dim sum restaurants opened on Grant Avenue with serving carts, most clientele moved to them. No one wanted to walk up the steep hill, including my family. I went today because of nostalgia. The bathroom remains unchanged except the toilet door has been removed. The formaica floor looks the same. Wall decor are remnants of the past. Service was polite. Food was not extraordinary nor exceptional. The black bean steamed spareribs with pumpkin was ok. The meat kind of fell off the bones. Guess it was because the ribs were fatty. It could have used more black beans. The pumpkin was cut into small chunks rather than sliced. The Har Gao was dry; Siu Mai was juicy and flavorful; and chow fun had more ingredients than fun. I would recommend this place to those who frequent here as a child for reminiscing and those who are into history.

Service was some of the worst. Waited without acknowledgement for what felt like 5-10 minutes to be seated and difficult to get servers attention to order or pay once seated at table. The restaurant is a bit dingy and food was bland. Disappointed in dim sum experience.

Our dim sum set B plus shenjian bao was basic, but satisfied our craving. No frills but decent. Friendly service. Delicious iced lemon tea and also incredible cold milk tea--strong tea flavor and not too much milk or sugar. I'd go back for tea even at $6, xiao long bao, and good scallion pancake. Other stuff like spring roll and jiaozi kind of average bland. I liked the chile oil but it was so gunky in the dish it was hard to serve. Some fruit flies. The restaurant and condiments and tables truly need a good cleaning.

Great place for historical significance and pictures. Food was not as authentic compared to in Hong Kong but still edible. Service was great and atmosphere was chill. Not too much people so it’s not too noisy like the other mainstream dim sum places in Chinatown. Food - 3/10, service - 8/10, atmosphere - 7/10

ordered to-go and am honestly appalled that this is $70 worth of food. the taste is pretty decent but the walnut prawns ($18) were especially disappointingly small. the plastic packaging was completely falling apart for the eggplant (also $18! + super salty) and the noodles.

Someone else said: “The food was decent, but nothing stood out. The place itself felt old and dated, lacking the ambiance you'd expect. Overall, it was an average meal in a setting that could use some updating.” I agree. I ordered and paid through the QR code at my table, and when I mentioned it to our server (who was very nice) he said that the QR code was for ordering only, not paying. I was able to confirm my card was charged and then they said it was okay. It seems like their QR system is still in the works. The cheung fun were “deconstructed” and kind of awkward to eat. The chicken feet had good flavor, and the char siu bao were pretty good.

The food is very tasty. The curry is quite spicy, so don’t order it if you don’t like spicy food. The restaurant markets itself as the oldest in the U.S., which attracted me, but I wouldn’t return. As I mentioned, the food is good, but I’ve been to other restaurants where the food is even better. The service is very poor. I could see that they were trying hard to serve everyone, but there was a lack of management. It’s definitely not an issue with the waitstaff, but with the organization. I recommend ordering through the code on the table—it’s much faster!

It is a nice place with cute decor, in a corner of China town. The food was ok, but for the price there are many other choices around.

This place is definitely trading on its 100-year plus history serving dim sum. The old-school vibe is fun, and the service is friendly, but the food is below par, even in Chinatown, where none of the dim sum offerings are great. The shrimp dumpling wrappers were thick and stodgy, and the filling, while chunky with prawns, lacked seasoning and texture. The steamed pork bun dough was tasty if heavy, but the pork was too lean, making it dry, and the barbecue sauce was unpleasant tasting. The steamed beancurd rolls were overcooked and, again, needed seasoning. The steamed pork ribs with pumpkin and black beans were a perfect mixture of fat and lean pieces, cooked well. The wontons in chilli oil were tasty. Thin wrapper, good mix of lean and fatty pork, in a vinegary chilli sauce topped with lots of fresh chopped garlic. It seemed pricey at $55 for 1 person. They charge extra for credit cards, and they add the tip onto the tax as well as the base price, which is a bit cheeky. I don't know if the other menu items are good or not, but I'd give this place a miss if you're looking for dim sum.

This is a bit of a tourist trap. It is a piece of history, but the food was hit and miss. Favorite and very good was the street food Fried Stuffed Tofu. So delicious. Be careful, super hot. I was too excited and burnt the roof of my mouth. Good thing this was our last of 5 dishes. Steamed Lotus Wrap Sticky Rice with Pork and Chicken. It's my wife's favorite go-to at all Dim Sum restaurants. Here it was dry and felt like it was a day old. The rice was very dry. Combination Fried Noodles. We were told the chef has been making this dish for 60 years. Sorry to say it tasted very ordinary. We hoped it might be the Hong Kong style deep Fried noodles like at other HK style restaurants, but it was more "stir fried" / "lo mein" style. Hang Ah Purse Dumpling - kind of "ok" Shanghai Soup Dumpling - ok Didn't find it was anything special other than its history. Food wise, only 1 out of 5 dishes was worth praising.

Not great. They say they were the first in America. That doesn't mean they are good. Those with me didn't think the Dim sum was very good. Except the shrimp. That was really good. All of the dishes were really oily. The service was't very good too. It was nice that they had vegan options, I didn't expect that. And they were marked clearly on the menu.

This restaurant serves average-level dishes in taste with others in China town. The only unique ness is unofficially the eldest dim sum shop. The majority of customers is non-Asian, non-Chinese. How could the restaurant which Chinese ignores serve delicious or authentic foods en earth?

Drawn in by their high Google rating and over a century-long history, we decided to try this spot on a Saturday morning. We were seated promptly, which was a good start. Siu mai: The meat was tightly packed and felt overcooked. Chicken feet: Flavor was alright, but like the siu mai, it felt overcooked. hrimp dumplings: Tasted alright, the flavor was good. Spare ribs: The only acceptable dish, but the portion size was really small. They put too many pumpkins at the bottom, and the amount of pumpkins was way more than the ribs.

Locals do not go here, but my friends and I came here since they were open mid-afternoon. It’s warning sign that only tourists were here. The dimsum was either bland, tasted strange, or was just not tasty. You order off of a QR code and do not get much in terms of service. Be prepared to be anxious about when your food will come. We ordered assortments of dishes to share and left hungry for real dimsum. Living in San Francisco, it’s not often I encounter a “bad” restaurant. This was an occasion that surprised me, in a negative way. I respect the historical vibes of this place, but it should be an afternoon tea spot rather than a restaurant. I highly advise that you skip this place and go somewhere to Good Mong Kok instead. Please, I beg that any visitors visit other dimsum restaurants to ensure you have a better impression of our city’s food.

Nothing is more frustrating than your Uber Eats order showed up with the wrong item, and NO utensil.

We were really disappointed with this place. The three of us paid around $60 for food that was honestly pretty mediocre and not worth the price. When the bill came, there were no individual prices listed, which already felt off. To top it off, I was charged three times for a single tea. The whole time we were there, I couldn’t stop noticing this filthy, soaked old rug sitting under the drinks fridge—it was gross. People always say the best meals come from rundown, hole-in-the-wall spots, but this one definitely doesn’t live up to that saying.

Social media took me here….Everything very dated and cluttered. Food very average and felt like it was frozen. Pork bun was disgusting. Found so many better places nearby
