" I went to City View after hearing it was one of the best dim sum places in SF. The service was quick, but I expected a bit more from the food. The siu mai was good, but the dumplings felt a bit doughy for my liking. The atmosphere made up for it, as it had a warm vibe. I’ll definitely try it again but with different selections next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Chinatown is buzzing with activity, and City View adds to the hustle with its delicious dim sum. Our waiter was knowledgeable, providing us with suggestions that satisfied our cravings. We took an assortment of dim sum, each plate better than the last! The space was busy, yet clean, creating an enjoyable dining atmosphere. I highly recommend this place for dim sum lovers!

" A consistently good experience every time I visit! I've brought many friends here, and everyone has loved the dishes. I especially enjoy the jumbo shrimp dumplings and the bao! The staff are friendly and quick to serve, which I appreciate. The outdoor seating comes in handy during warmer months too. I highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having just moved to SF, I wanted to find a great dim sum restaurant. City View didn’t disappoint! We tried the turnip cake, BBQ pork buns, and a variety of dumplings. Everything was fresh and packed with authentic flavors. The ambiance was modern but comfortable, making it a perfect place for a food outing. Would recommend to friends and will go back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food here is generally excellent, I did encounter a few hiccups with the service during my last visit. There was a miscommunication about one of our orders, which took some time to correct. However, the manager was kind and attentive, ensuring we enjoyed the rest of our meal. The steamed buns and garlic broccoli were especially fresh and delicious! Still, I think I might try another dim sum place next time since consistency is key for me. " (*Curated Review*)

Our server was lovely, though it took a short while for our food to arrive. Nevertheless, I left satisfied with a full stomach and plans to come back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" City View Restaurant is truly a gem in the heart of Chinatown. We had a delightful selection of dim sum, and every item tasted fresh and homemade. The steamed buns and dumplings were the highlight of our visit, bursting with flavor. The prices are reasonable given the quality. I would recommend any dim sum lover to check this place out!
