Hands down one of the best dim sum spots in the bay! The dim sum is excellent and fresh (the BBQ pork bun is my personal favourite), the portions are generous, and the prices are very very affordable. I would highly recommend coming here.

3 pieces for $3.95. Pretty rich and fatty siu mai, which my friend really liked but I didn't like that much. If you like richer and fattier things like wagyu then you might like this

Something about rude Wing Lee that keeps me coming back lol. Ladies just could be straight forward and make prices on the fly but hey the custard tarts are a deal and buns too. I recall the cocktail buns were delicious here but oddly they were sold out at 9am weekend when I wanted some... oh well whatever Wing Lee. I’ll be back...

Consistently the best dim sum in the neighborhood! I’ve been coming here for over a decade, and it’s not only delicious but also incredibly reliable—especially important for someone like me with a sensitive stomach. The quality has never wavered. Truly a hidden gem!

Take-out only. Wing Lee is a good spot to get buns and dim sum. Their line in the mornings is not bad, compared to the other dim sum restaurant on Clement. We had some egg rolls, pork dim sum (siu mai), pot stickers and a porridge. They didn't have Chinese donuts to go with the porridge. Awh. Since there aren't any tables inside, we resorted to sta

Fresh dim sum and other treats. Come early before they sell out. The cooks or always bring out fresh batches of dumplings, also very affordable. Cash only and parking can be tricky
