“ I grew up going to Wing Lee Bakery. As a child, my mom enrolled me into "Score" as an after school program a block away, and she would always take me to Wing Lee after it was done. It's been almost 30 years of coming here, and the food is still the same as I remember. The prices definitely is a bit higher, but paying about $4 for an order of 3 dim sum items is still more cost efficient than eating out. They recently reopened their indoor eating space, since it was closed due to COVID in the past few years. They have about 4 tables where you can sit to enjoy your food with soy sauce and hot sauce provided on the table. It's definitely nice as a grab and go. My favorites here are their steamed baos, pork siu mai, ha gow (shrimp dumpling), banana custard mochi (they don't always have this though), and their lotus wrapped sticky rice. They're cash only, and I recommend going early in the day because they get packed later in the mornings into the afternoon. ”
“ Wing Lee is a regular stop for us in the Richmond. We picked up 3 steamed chicken buns, 3 bbq pork buns, 4 potstickers and 3 sesame balls - all for 20$. I usually go by 10am to avoid lines. Street parking is metered and fills up quickly. They are cash only and takeout only. The menu is straightforward, and the women working there are always nice and helpful. Per my dad's (SF native) definitive ranking of Richmond takeout dim sum spots: "Wing Lee: best dai bao Cherry Blossoms: best baked BBQ pork buns Good Luck: best everything else" ”
“ Dishes (in order of best): 1. Hargow 2. Shrimp & chives steamed dumpling 3. Shu mai 4. Rice ball 5. Black bean moon cake 6. Baked bbq pork bun Logistics: -cash ONLY -street, metered parking -takeout only ”
“ best chinese bbq ever, white rice, curry chicken & mixed vegetables. i love the selection of chow fun & salt & pepper chicken ”
“ Anytime I see a line it peaks my interest to know more. So, even tho we had just ate lunch, I joyfully jumped in line to get a sampling assortment for later. And since "Good Luck" down the street was closed, this place looked like one of the most happening places on the block! Absolutely delighted with the vegetarian bean curd roll. They were plump and tasty. Think of them as a wrapped pocket of monks jai. Not as impressed with the other two items bought today. The skin on the shrimp dumpling har gao was very thick. Filling lacking taste. The potstickers also had a thick skin. Filling consisted of pork and vegetables and while not the best, they were tasty. Would order again. Will be back to try other items from this take out place. ”
“ My boyfriend and I went on a small dumpling crawl and out of the 3 that we tried this way, we found the their siu mai was the best. It was full of flavor and juicy. It is cash only so we did have to get some and come back. We also got their shrimp was also highly rated. The pineapple buns there are just okay, nothing too special. ”
“ After having lived in the inner Richmond for over half a year, this is still our go to spot for dim sum! They always get their siu mai just right and the har gow/chives har gow so delicious! We also enjoy the baos, chicken skewer, Chinese sausage bun, and sweets. Service is great and they'll always get you through the line quickly, just what we need at a takeout spot! They also reopened their dine in option for those who prefer that, there are a few tables inside, but there is no table service! ”
“ Damn the steamed and baked buns were GOOD and affordable! The baked bun had a good ratio of filling to bread, the steamed we wish was a bit closer to that ratio but the flavor was incredible. I got a peanut mochi which was tasty but I wish it was a peanut butter filling rather than a powdered peanut butter filling. Definitely worth a try! ”
