Oh dear... the Yank Sing was one of the two that I'd been
thinking of. Just shows how useful it is to ask here, doesn't
it!!

You might want to extend you enquiry to ba.food as well to
see what the cantankerous regulars of that group might say.
I'd be happy to make the enquiry if your server doesn't
carry ba.food.

It does, as it happens. Are you a (known) poster there? If
so, then I'd be happier if you wouldn't mind asking. My
experience is that one tends to get a better class of reply
if one's known. I don't mind reading and copying to my
brother the thread that follows your post, so you wouldn't
have to do anything other than make the first post. If you're
not known there, then I'll be happy to do the deed!!

Yes, I was quite surprised at the degree of negativity toward
Yank Sing especially that I've seen there. I've posted there
on occasion, so I just posted your query there. There is a
chance that the server I've used (Aioe) isn't propagating
posts, so if it hasn't appeared by tonight, I'll see if I can
find another server that carries ba.food. If all else fails,
you can post the question ;-)

I have to admit that it is a year or two since I ate at Yank
Sing and it is very popular and IMHO deservedly so. The food on
the circulating carts is high quality and often unusual and the
prices were not outrageous if more expensive than restaurants in
Chinatown. I have found other places with large numbers of
oriental-looking customers but the names escape me at the
moment.

I'm not the OP but my server does carry ba.food but the last
post I saw was on 5/11/08 and no posts from you Mark.

Sorry, that's not quite correct since there were some at 4/29/08

Quite a lot a few months ago (my server had 7k messages)

Well, your message wasn't there at 00.15 Europe rime. I'm afraid.
Would you mind having one further bash - pretty please. The more I've
read there, the more nervous I am about posting myself.

Reposted, and several reponses already. One other thought since my
original repsonse to you: Hog Island Oyster Company now has a restaurant
in San Francisco. While I haven't been there, I have been several times
to the parent operation in Northern Marin County, and it's a
quintessential local experience: Tomales Bay Oysters, served on the half
shell and "barbecued." FWIW, I prefer the former preparation by a long
shot.

I have been to the Hog Island in SF and in Northern Marin both really
good.

We had a great experience at Yank Sing of really great Dim Sum if that

Thanks very much Larry, I'm forwarding your comment.

To all of you who responded. Tony asked me to thank you all very much.
