Tea & Dim Sum place in SR
I went there today and it's decent. Some better than others, bbq pork buns were good, shanghai dumplings, turnip cakes and shumai were good too. I have never been to the one in the city, I usually go to tong kiang or yank sing but it was good enough to fulfill my dim sum cravings without driving to the city, so I am happy!!
Next visit I am going to try the shark fin dumplings in a broth and beef chow fun.

I am asian and it was good enough for me.....and my family from NYC, all asians too....thought it was very good. There were many, many chinese eating there too. So it doesn't really matter as long as it's good and made right. Sure, go "authentic" and eat in chinatown where the quality has dropped. Koi palace is good too but not good enough to drive all the way out there and wait an hour, if you're lucky.

Yank Sing, downtown SF financial district in the rincon center. I think it is the best in SF - and you will be satisfied. The shanghai soup dumpling was excellent....but if you are patient and wait for the carts with the specials, they're really, really good too.
Ton kiang on Geary is also very good. Can't go wrong with either one.
Late night SF restaurant
Looking for a GOOD restaurant open late (past 10 pm) in the city mid week - any suggestions??
