Yelp.com Review - by Susy C.

2.0 of 5 stars. Ok. I think it's now safe to say that this place sucks. The main issue at hand here is that the food is over priced, especially for the quality of the dim sum.

4.0 of 5 stars. I was in Hong Kong for thanksgiving this year and actually got a turkey. (I'll get back to that.) I also had some of the most amazing dim sum ever and came back with a craving. Lucky for me, City…

2.0 of 5 stars. I should have known that craving dim sum so badly I'd go alone at lunch on a Monday would mean my expectations would be too high. Really, though, my expectations weren't THAT high for the dim sum (I…

3.0 of 5 stars. Sometimes when I find a place I like, I forget to go to the rest. Hence I've eaten at Yank Sing a hundred times, and somehow missed City View altogether until last week. I'm jazzed to find a new…

4.0 of 5 stars. It is hard to find a place that is authentic yet classy or is fancy without being over-priced or faux authentic. This place is the perfect combo. When I arrived, I was pleased by the nice atmosphere…

4.0 of 5 stars. 3.5 stars. Minus a few stars, for service. Can you even get a refill here? Try. It's almost like mission impossible.

4.0 of 5 stars. San Francisco is well-known for the range of excellent restaurants, except for dim-sum. I haven't really found any incredible dim-sum restaurant so far. However, City View can almost remove that…

Yelp.com Review - by Henry P.

3.0 of 5 stars. City View's dim sum is probably the best to be found in Chinatown - which probably isn't saying much, given that I've had some bad experiences with other dim sum places in the City. It's fairly…

5.0 of 5 stars. I had kind of shied away from dim sum for awhile after actually looking inside a wrapper at another restaurant. Where the dish had been quite tasty, I found I had lost my appetite after looking…

Not Worth the Price

I tried City View after reading that it was great dim sum from another reviewer... have to say I don't agree. I tried a few different dishes. All of the steamed dumplings I had were a little overcooked, and...

1.0 of 5 stars. Food is just ok. Price is OUTRAGEOUS. My brother and I had to throw down $52 for 2 people for 11 dishes. Every other dim sum place I've ever been to you can stuff yourself for ~$15/person. You…

4.0 of 5 stars. I could have sworn I'd already written a review for City View. I must be losing my mind. Anyway, this is one of my (other) favorite dim sum places. I work in the area and if you ask me, it's one of…
