HSF
HSF is a Chinatown favorite that has been delighting diners since 1972. Known for its wide variety of dim sum, the restaurant offers top quality, authentic Chinese cuisine. The restaurant is usually crowded, so don't be surprised if you have to share a table. Dim sum is presented on rolling carts, from which diners select their dishes. Specialties include hakao (translucent shrimp-filled dumplings) served with chili sauce, Hong Kong-style barbecue spare ribs and clams in black bean sauce. HSF is large by Chinatown standards and features pleasing decor in reds and yellows.
