Steamed BBQ pork bun from Yank Sing 2 Go [SF]

[Dave MP]

I just got a takeout pork bun from Yank Sing 2 Go on Stevenson Street in Downtown SF, and I wasn't that impressed. The bun stuck to the wrapper, and it wasn't super hot, but those things were to be expected from a bun that had been sitting for a while. So, no big deal.

But the filling of the pork bun wasn't that good at all. It just tasted like some bits of bbq pork (same as what i'd find anywhere) with a heavy douse of hoisin sauce.

Is this the same filling they use at the actual sitdown restaurant?

[Robert Lauriston]

I wouldn't be surprised if they used inferior filling. The quality gap between what they serve in the restaurant and the takeout operation is remarkably huge.

[Ruth Lafler]

Yeah, I'm always surprised when someone recommends YS 2 Go. It's not very good and it's expensive for what you get.

They out to call that place "Wank sing"
