Casual Dim Sum place frequent by the local elderly Cantonese community. No frills but full of flavor!

For a hole in the wall .. great place for take out or sit down .. locals come around 10 Cuz that’s when the spare ribs over rice comes out ! Simply the best Har Gow & shrimp Cheung fun … why ? They’re generous with the shrimps .. a shrimp in every bite, fried items r great but I would skip the Buns .. too much carbs, not enough filling, bun tends to be on the drier side

This place is amazing! However, be prepared to wait in line, as it’s cash only and there’s nowhere to sit. I highly recommend for you to write down/have ready the number of the item of the menu you want to order, as it will facilitate and make the ordering process faster. I tried the baked pork bun, scallion pancake, shrimp dumplings, and black sesame balls. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The shrimp dumplings were flavorful and had a great texture, while the black sesame balls were not too oily and perfectly cooked (I could eat 1,000 of them!). I completely understand the hype surrounding this place.

If you're used to amazing dumplings - the ones here are beyond below average. Not very good at all. Chewy and glutenous. The pineapple pork bun was OK. There is a small queue outside but runs fast. Luckily the prices are decent for what you get.

A little surprised by all the high reviews, but maybe it was just what I ordered. I just wanted a small breakfast so I had shrimp chive dumplings and a chicken bun. Reasonable prices ~$1.50+ per dumpling. The chicken bun was cold. Bread ratio was high to meat, which was bland. I got a huge cartilage chunk and had to spit it out. I prefer the shrimp chive dumplings at Wong Lee bakery. This one the shrimp wasn't whole (more minced), the chive flavor wasn't strong, and the dough was quite thick. I would go back here, but only for a hot rice meal. The eggplant looked incredible. I regret not ordering that. For buns and dumplings, there are better bakeries.

Visited in December 2024, looking for flaky fried taro dim sum. When we inquired about the taro, we were told that they did have the dish. It was in the wrong form: steamed skin instead of fried with flaky edges The steamed taro dumpling with ground meat is okay, not amazing. The right filling, but we wanted the fried ones. We had just purchased multiple boxes of dim sum from 2 other shops so we didn't try anything else. Maybe next time. Cash payment.

My family has came here a couple times and it was my first time! There noodle soups are pretty cheap compared to other places outside of Chinatown. Each bowl is roughly $10. Both my sister and I got their beef brisket & wonton noodle soup. My mom got their pig feet noodle soup. We shared a plate of liver & kidney, this was so good; I love the soy sauce they use for this dish. The portions were just right for the low price you pay. Wontons were plump and full of ground meat & shrimp! Brisket was pretty tender, I just had a couple pieces that were to tough to chew. I would totally come back for a cheap meal!!!

Food was great given the price. Beef brisket was tender and flavorful. Wontons were handmade and super fresh

When my family and I walked in here, we were surprised to discover that we were the only people in the whole restaurant. It unfortunately reflected much of Chinatown too- there wasn't too much life when we went off Grant/Kearny St. The food was tasty- too salty but delicious when mixed with rice- but expensive. We ordered three entrees, two veggie appetizers, and rice but ended up paying $30 a person. Service was great- our server was very nice and the owner gave us some good recommendations.

Spacious restaurant with a lunch special that fills you with delights : fried dumpling and cold noodles to start ; followed by a vegetarian tofu with white rice; They charge five bucks for non customers using toilets. And that is what airlines charge too. Chinese tea not included unless you drink it in the bathroom and then it’s free. They want you to use the bathroom a lot .

I walked by this place and saw a bunch of locals inside, decided to give it a try and am not disappointed. Filling portions, the #1 special is $9.21 and comes with choice of 1 vegetable (bean sprouts, lettuce, cilantro, corn, scallions). I got the soy milk as well, $2.76. Got the order after 8 minutes, and found seating easily because the dining room has ample seating (big tables, small tables, counter). Plenty of condiment choices as well, including chili oil and peanut sauce. The customers range from elderly to teenagers, and you can understand why after having it - great value for the price and large dining room.

How did they make the rice rolls so thin!! It's nothing like the ones you order from dim sum. Completely different. Rice Roll Special ($9.21) - One of the best rice rolls I've ever had. It's silky and light but still loaded with filling. Top it with chili oil and soy sauce at the sauce station. Deeelicious. Pork with Preserved Egg Congee ($5.99 for large) - A little bland but nothing some white pepper can't fix. The two of us were stuffed from only ordering two items. Great value too.

Their popcorn chicken rice meal was top notch! Good place for snack or brunch! Old & young people alike will love this place with their boba milk tea fusions and traditional Chinese food meals. There’s also a TV for a quick entertainment.

Small restaurant in Chinatown that serves food and Boba drinks. We were glad to see it was open later on a Sunday evening, as most stores in the area were closed. Drink took a few minutes, but was fresh, cold, and good. They also have popping boba. I would recommend giving them a try.

Gourmet Kitchen just several doors up north to socially popular Good Mong Kok Bakery on the bustling Stockton street in Chinatown is the bang-for-your-buck lunch place while working downtown or nearby. In addition to a variety of traditional Cantonese-style dim sum the best bargain in my view is its signature $8 three items lunch over plain or fried rice (or noodles) including fried shrimp, steam-fried fish (Tilapia), sweet sour pork, pork ribs, pork stomach, as well as a variety of vegetables including cauliflower, green beans, bok choy, eggplants, mushroom, broccoli, etc. Also, it’s steamed pork veggie buns (菜肉包子)are really tasty, only $5 for a total of 3 or 4. However, imhv avoid its Congee of Thousand-Year-Old eggs with shredded pork(皮蛋瘦肉粥) because its plain and not enough ingredients inside. The location also has a few tables for customers to sit down for a quick bite, which Good Mong Kok Bakery does not have. It's an affordable ideal location for a takeout lunch box in Chinatown with easy access to Muni lines 1, 8, 30, 45 and T line. Under the current economic circumstances finding an affordable lunch place with real food (of course not every day) not a mere popular yet inflated name is imperative yet smart to survive financially and healthily.

** Amazing Dining Experience!** I recently had the pleasure of dining here and it was an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with a beautiful interior that sets the perfect mood. The food was absolutely delicious--every dish was a delightful burst of flavor, made with fresh and high-quality ingredients. The [chicken feet] was a personal favorite, and I highly recommend it! The service was top-notch; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. It's clear that the team takes great pride in providing a great experience for their guests. If you're looking for a place with excellent food, great ambiance, and exceptional service, this place is the spot. I'll definitely be coming back!

Very cheap. $10 for dim sum for two people. Medium quality only. One of the three steamed dumplings I had was good. The turnip cakes were OK. Counter service only though they have one table to sit at.

They offer a great selection of dim sum on-the-go. First off, they weren't busy when we arrived around 1pm on a weekday, so that was nice. The lady serving us didn't speak English so we basically had to point at what we wanted. Luckily she had some trays out, otherwise I don't know how we would have been able to tell her what we wanted since there wasn't a menu in English. We ordered 2 steamed buns and 8 dim sum all for $9.80. Such a great deal! We ordered to go which put our whole transaction under 5 minutes. Definitely worth a visit!

Hunan House sits in the heart of Chinatown, they have a vast menu with every dish the average American is familiar with and MORE! This was the absolute best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Full disclosure, I’m a Texas native and to my knowledge, there’s no Chinatown in our entire great state. We had a party of 9, each ordered 2 dishes to try as much as we could and every dish delivered! The management and staff were very friendly and extremely accommodating. This is definitely one I would recommend to everyone!!

Great Chinese food, cannot go wrong. We love all the dishes, especially the rib dish. The price is reasonable. Would eat there again.

Food is amazing! Great portions :) my kids loved the food, my parents too. Highly recommended. You get hot black tea, really good. The sweet and sour soup is for 6 people lol

Delicious Chinese Food in town. We ordered Chaw Mien beef and chicken, both dishes were tasty. Even though we needed to wait for few minutes until the food arrived, the waiting was worth it. Moreover, the price was affordable. The resto was clean and there was a toilet for customers. I liked the chili sauce because it wasn't too spicy and a little bit sour.

We walked in and were warmly greeted by the staff. Our waitress was particularly friendly and chatty. We ate the Fish Cakes, Pork Kidney w/ Ginger & Onion, and Shrimp w/ 3 Kinds of Mushroom. The pork kidney dish was unique and really good. We liked everything.

Maggie was fantastic! I ordered the beef and broccoli and was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful everything was. The broccoli had that perfect Asian-style tenderness and seasoning — absolutely delicious. The beef was juicy and well-cooked, and the overall dish hit all the right notes. Great service, great food. I love the white rice too! I’ll definitely be coming back!
