Hong Kong Lounge 穗香酒家
This Bay Area classic is one of the go-to spots for dim sum -- the dumplings are terrific and the baked goods are the highlight of the place, making it the dim sum equivalent of a Parisian bakery.

Hong Kong Lounge I (not to be confused with Hong Kong Lounge II, which is closed because of a fire) is a cart-free zone, but still a good choice for dim sum, especially if you’re a fan of baked goods. The Steamed BBQ Pork Buns, filled with pork bathed in a house-made barbeque sauce inside of golden brown bun that is perfectly light and chewy are a must, as are the butter-rich Egg Custard Buns and not just because they are delightful (and Instagram-worthy) since they come out decorated as little piglets.
