Excellent porridge!
Excellent HK spot. Better food than any dim sum around
The rice porridge here is the best in the bay area! So creamy. My favorite is the pork organ jook, the pork liver and pork meatballs are the best. Make sure to add ginger!

Gum Kuo is a Cantonese restaurant that offers a traditional dining experience, well-known for its quality porridge and specialties. The menu features a variety of dishes, including the renowned chang fun (rice rolls) and the pork & preserved duck eggs porridge (jook), which customers praise for their freshness and delicious flavors. The pork liver chang fun remains a highlight, celebrated for its soft, silky texture. The pork inards porridge is also a standout, perfectly paired with Chinese doughnuts.
In addition to these specialties, Gum Kuo serves a wide range of dishes, including wonton noodles, roasted duck, and BBQ combo plates. The roasted duck with noodle soup is a customer favorite, with succulent duck slices and rich broth providing a comforting meal. The restaurant is also recognized for its BBQ pork (char siu), often enjoyed over rice or in wonton noodle soup. For those seeking adventure, the beef tripe wonton noodle soup and the beef chow fen (wide rice noodles with beef) are worth trying.
The service is fast and friendly, with the owner at the cash register being knowledgeable and nice. While the menu is not the most affordable compared to some nearby places, customers still find it to be a good value. Although some dishes may vary in quality, the restaurant's specialties, particularly the chang fun and porridge, are regarded as among the best in the area, making Gum Kuo a popular choice for Cantonese food enthusiasts.
