I think you should check it out, especially since you said Ton Kiang is too
far away. If you're staying in the Union Square part of the city, Yank Sing
is close. Their new location in Rincon Center is supposed to be nice.

They have lots of dishes not usually found in Dim Sum restaurants, which may
be one reason for its appeal. I personally thought that distracts them,
such standards like sui mai or har gow weren't made with the care that they
are at Ton Kiang. In fact, I think I might even prefer New Asia in
Chinatown to Yank Sing. But as I wrote in the other post, others like it a
lot, including my little sister, so maybe I need to check it out again and
give it another chance (I've only been there once).
