Good Mong Kok Bakery

If there is a line, it must be good! Everyone I come to this bakery there is a line, early or late in the day. Everything I’ve had here makes my mouth happy & my tummy happy dance. The price is super fair, service is good & friendly. Cash is king, but they do accept cards with an additional cost. Get some items & take it home, park or wherever and enjoy.

This dim sum spot is one of well known ones out of many in SF, Chinatown. Being an SF native, I never tried this spot until recently because I wanted to see what the hype was about. For me, I give the food a 3.5/5. I got to try: 1. Pan fried scallion cake (3/5) 2. Baked BBQ pork bun (4/5) 3. Steamed BBQ pork bun (4/5) 4. Baked scallion bun (3/5) 5. Deep fried meat dumpling (5/5) 6. Shrimp pork, beef, chicken sui mai (3/5) 7. Vegetable and pork bun (5/5) 8. Sausage bun (4/5) 9. Soy sauce chow mein (1.5/5) 10. Custard rice cake dessert (2/5) 11. Taro Bun There's always a line so expect to wait. I came both in the morning and once in the evening and waited about 10-20 mins. Service is average. The people there never smile and look like they hate their job. I mean I get it. it's tiring but it lowkey ruins the experience. Overall, the food is good but nothing to rave about. The prices are decent for the portion sizes.

This is what I do for food sometimes, some might say I’m a foodie nut. I woke at 6:00am, got ready and made my way here. Note, I walked past this place twice before and the line was way too long, but I needed to try this legendary place. Even a cold and misty morning wouldn’t stop me. I got here at 6:52am and was 2nd in line, opening was just after 7am. My server was really polite and helpful. I got my goodies and made my way back to my hotel as fast as possible to enjoy this while still hot. This is possibly the cheapest meal I had on my trip to SF, but it was so tasty, not reflective of the price you pay, really good value for money. I tried 3 items as you can see. All were fantastic and As good as they needed to be and really gave me the dimsum fix that I craved for. The free soy and chili sauces added more flavor too. Cost me less than $20, more than enough for 2 people. If you were on the fence about trying this place, just go ahead and give it a shot, it’s really worth the effort to try these delicious morsels.

Small hole in a wall to-go dim sum place. Also has frozen food and other items. Long lines and they have two windows serving the customers. Although it doesn’t look very appealing, dim sums were actually very good, and price is very friendly. We actually came two days in a roll for breakfast. Recommend shumai, shrimp dumplings, and scallion pancake.

Popular take-out dim sum spot where most of the common dumplings are offered at 3.20 per set (of 4, or 3). All of the à la carte items are cheap, and the flavours are all on point. Grew up in Vancouver eating dim sum at legit places my whole life, this place is serving banging dim sum. There’s a lineup, it moves quickly (quicker if everyone knows what they want).
