City View San Francisco

On the quest for amazing dim sum and I think I might have found it! (It would take at least one more visit, possibly with the parents, to tell for sure.) The dim sum was fresh and the quality was notable. The perfect example was the shui mai, made up of real pork and mushroom pieces - no ground mush here - with a shrimp on top and thin skin. The skin is a great way to tell the quality of any dumpling. If it is thin and tender and not thick and chewy, you know it is fresh and made there on-site by people that know what they are doing. You could actually taste the ingredients, like the shrimp in the long rice noodles instead of being a soft slurpy mess. San Francisco dim sum finally held up to the esteem I had been holding it to and I can only hope that City View continues to uphold its standards.
