So glad to hear you are heading back to SF, bdachow, though you really need a trip to Vancouver too (and drop me a line at the email in my profile, won't you, as I lost yours in a recent computer update snafu).
Agree with what prima said about Great Eastern. We thought the dim sum we had at GE was more than solid, despite being sucked into ordering siu mai by a badly worded description and misleading photo, LOL. It certainly hit the spot for us anyway, as visitors from Vancouver.
But for the record the best (and most expensive at $40 US per person when the exchange rate was beyond lousy) dim sum I've ever eaten was way back in 2003 at what I deduced later with help from local Hounds (this was before I started using the Internet to plan eating trips) was Ton Kiang. It was all wonderful but the dim-sum sized version of Peking duck was just stupidly good. No idea if they still have it but I'd pay that amount again if they do.
