Hong Kong Lounge

This beloved dim sum lounge is spacious and simply adorned, with salmon-colored walls and big windows facing Geary. You'll find no rolling trolleys here; instead, each dim sum dish is prepared to order. House favorites include the chicken bao, rice noodles laden with shrimp and, of course, baked pork buns. The menu is uncommonly expansive, including sautéed clams, barbecue pork noodle rolls, shrimp noodle rolls, beef short rib, Peking duck and pork-bone porridge. For dessert, you'll find sugary, hot Chinese doughnuts, vivid yellow egg yolk buns and koi-shaped mango pudding.
