" Dol Ho is the quintessential dim sum restaurant! I love the fact that I can taste authentic Cantonese food right here in San Francisco. I tried the siu mai and har gow, and both dishes were bursting with flavor. It's very much a hole-in-the-wall space, but I appreciate the rugged charm. The only drawback is that it can get crowded quickly, and you might have to share your table. But for the food and experience, I think it’s worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dol Ho is a no-frills dim sum experience that embodies authenticity. I was impressed with how fresh everything tasted, especially the BBQ pork buns. Every dish comes with a warm smile from the staff. It’s a great value for the price, and though the atmosphere is a bit cramped, it feels welcoming and grounded in tradition. I’ve returned a few times already and see no reason to stop! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dol Ho is fantastic for dim sum lovers. I was immediately welcomed by staff and being surrounded by local diners made me feel great. I tried multiple dishes, but the chicken feet and spare ribs over rice stood out as exemplary. The portions are fair for the price you pay, and the taste is spot on. A little rough around the edges, but that is part of the charm of this underrated eatery. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to visit Dol Ho after hearing so much about it, but my experience was mixed. While the food had good flavors, I found some dishes served cold and lacking in the needed kick. The service was efficient but a bit brusque, which didn't bother me too much, but I can see how it could be a turn-off for others. Overall, I would try it again but may not make it my first choice for dim sum. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the atmosphere is not fancy, it exudes authenticity and warmth. This place makes you feel like you are dining in a traditional Cantonese household. I loved the taste of their dim sum – particularly the har gow and siu mai. Be wary, though, it can get busy, and you might need to share a table. However, it’s part of the experience, and for the price, I don’t think you can find such quality anywhere else. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dol Ho is a must-visit for authentic dim sum lovers. The variety of dishes is impressive, and everything is delicious. I especially enjoyed the spare ribs over rice – they were the highlight of my meal. The only downside is the language barrier, which can be challenging at times. However, the staff are really accommodating, and if you’re open to the experience, you will enjoy it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dol Ho became my favorite spot for dim sum. It mirrors a true authentic atmosphere where you can get flavors echoing traditional Cantonese cuisine. I found their shrimp dumplings and sticky rice in lotus leaf to be standout dishes. Each trip feels fulfilling, and I walk away completely satisfied. It’s a must for folks who want to taste genuine dim sum! " (*Curated Review*)
