“We were in town for just a few days and discovered this amazing dim sum on our last day…of course we had to heat there for lunch AND dinner. Everything we had was so fresh, and had a depth of flavor and authenticity that just isn’t that common. Do yourself a favor and eat here as soon as you can, and often.“
“I can’t speak too much else on their menu but as soon as I like something, I cannot get anything else. As childish as this sounds, wings are my favorite guilty pleasure food and their salt and pepper chicken wings taste like they were made from the lord himself. Hands down the best in the city and potentially the best I’ve ever tried in California!!“
“Really nice place. Ambiance, food, and service were all great. The manager was sweet, brought our kids some chocolate at the end of the meal, which made their day.Kid-friendliness: They were sweet to our kids and the food options were great for kids- shrimp rolls, buns, and rice dishes.“
“Parking: There's a parking garage (best on in Chinatown and downtown) only a few steps away from the restaurant. The garage is on Kearny & Clay ( 733 Kearny St, SF CA 94108 ) and the rates aren't too bad.COST:Free 15 mins, 1hr - $4, and add $4/hr for any additional hours. $40ish for a day rate that kicks in after 12 hrs.“
“I tried Delicious Dim Sum for the first time today and it was so good!! Got there around 2ish and there was no line. I ordered the Shrimp Dumplings, Chive & Shrimp Dumplings, Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll, Pork Shumai, Spring Rolls, and BBQ Pork Bun.“
“Overall great price for quality. Should order online to avoid the long wait (20+ minutes for a to go place is too long)- pork and shrimp shumai was really good- ham sui gok was ok. It was a bit soft, not keeping the crunchy texture- mango pudding was ok, not too sweet but a bit more chewy than I like“
“Overall thought it was pretty good, but not my favorite dim sum.That being said, the crispy tofu was incredible - I’d consider going back just to get this… Everything else was pretty average, except the honey walnut shrimp which I would not recommend.“
“Food was great. Service needs work. We ordered two appetizers, soup and a noodle dish. They brought out the soup, a few seconds later the noodle dish which was followed immediately by one of the appetizers. We could not communicate with the server to ask her to slow down; finally found someone who spoke enough English to translate and took back dishes to keep warm in the kitchen.And forgot our tea; we needed to again wait for someone who spoke English to remind them of that.“
“When it comes to dim sum I’m always looking for places that honor the classics but also surprise and delight. This place did both. Highly recommend the matcha tea balls which I’ve never had at any other place and were the perfect level of crispy chewy and sweet!“
“Recommended by my best friend, we had lunch here on Thanksgiving day. It was so crowded, but luckily, we only waited for around 10 minutes until we got seated. This place is lively with casual dining.They provide various congee, soup, appetizers, buns, dumplings, rice, vegetables, as well as drinks.Let's see what we tried!鮮蝦雲吞麵 / Signature Wunton Noodle Soup ($11.50)Their signature wonton noodle that consists of the thin and straight noodles with chasiu pork, wonton, green onions in a clear and savory soup. A comfort food indeeed!涼瓜牛肉煎米粉 / Beef Bitter Melon Pan-Fried Vermicelli ($16.95)This menu is unique! My first time trying this one. So, basically it is beef with bitter melon that are covered with the crunchy pan-fried vermicelli pancake. I'm not a fan of bitter melon, but this one is considered okay because it's not bitter.香酥蔥油餅 / Green Onion Pancake ($10.95)Oh.. This green onion pancake is full with green onions inside and crispy outside as well! Love it ❤️港式鴛鴦 / Hot Hong Kong Style Milk Tea with Coffee ($3.95)It can be served either hot or cold. We chose the hot one. If HK style milk tea is common, this one was our first time having it with coffee. The coffee taste blended well with the less sweet HK style milk tea. A good drink, especially during the cold weather!“
“Trust me. Asian flavors at its best. Be surprised with real Asian hustling and bustling. If you're looking for top service, you won't get it here. Pay the price and go elsewhere. Cash only.Tons of dishes to choose from. Tons of dim sum as well. White rice with 3 entrees, $5.50!! Dim sum rarely more than $3. A hearty meal for 3.....<$26! Where do you find such deal post COVID??If you like the information, please "like". Thanks“
“The portions here are large for the price. All the food was very tasty and cooked to order. The waitress was very attentive and accommodating. I ordered the wonton soup with beef brisket, house special chow mein, Peking spareribs and string beans. Everything was very tasty. The wontons were very flavorful and the beef brisket added some depth to the soup. The chow mein noodles had a good chew and carried the fragrance from the wok. The Peking spareribs were cooked perfectly, tender and very tasty!I'll definitely be coming back to try some other items such as the beef chow fun and salt pepper spare ribs that I saw other people ordered.“
“Shrimp and pork dumplings（虾饺&烧卖）taste pretty decent. The crepe of the shrimp crepe （鲜虾肠）is pretty thick but the shrimps are nice. We also ordered a turnip cake which tasted oily. Both the turnip cake and the shrimp crepe came out cold :( otherwise the food here is better than what I expected.“
“Awesome food, big portions, reasonably priced, attentive service. Dishes came out quick, piping hot and full of flavor. Ordered orange chicken, beef chow fun, honey walnut shrimp, fish and tofu clay pot, spicy stir fry green beans with minced pork, and BBQ fried rice . Every dish was amazing. Usually not a fan of green beans but they made it so well that now I'm a green bean fan. Beef chow fun has good number of beef slices. Would come again whenever visiting China town. Atmosphere nothing to rave about but who cares what it looks like when you're so focused on tasting every dish and deciding if you should order more to take home.“
“Incredibly delicious roasted meats, al-dente wanton noodles, flavorful soup and generous portions!There are no menus hanging on the walls so it may feel intimidating at first. The staff don't seem to speak english either, but if you talk to the friendly lady and ask for the menu, she speaks basic english and you just have to point to the item you want. I recommend the roasted duck noodles. Would definitely go out of my way to come back to Kam PO Kitchen!“
“Good value for the money. And the dim sum was nice. We had four different items, three pieces, each, for a total of $13. Was plenty for the two of us for a morning snack. There's really nowhere to sit so we walked about a block to a nice park and sat and ate.“
“Very good lunch specials. Their food is consistently good and the prices are really good. Most times, I get tea with my lunch special. Even when I get a coke, my bill is only $15, including a $2 tip.Highly recommended, and will continue to return to enjoy the items on the lunch special menu. They close at 3pm Monday through Saturday. They are closed on Sundays.Please be patient with the staff and remember to tip kindly...“
“My mom's favorite Chinese restaurant in the city (at least currently - growing up it used to be Eight Immortals on Taraval - I'm sad it's no longer the same...). Whenever I go home for a visit, there's always ONE night reserved for a family dinner at Riverside. There's only street parking (not a surprise since it's SF), but there's NO issue find a spot and the area is relatively safe. The restaurant is no frills and homey - and you know it's legit and good when the restaurant is full on a random Wednesday night on a quiet neighborhood block. My mom usually orders and the dishes can vary depending on what she feels like, but she ALWAYS orders the giant scallop/clam thing with vermicelli. Very meaty, large portions. Pricey, but good. Definitely solid Chinese food - sometimes they are a bit heavy handed on the seasoning (not super consistent), but overall still good.“
“Delicious food and variety of items make this a culinary destination. Service has gone downhill over the last year, with an indifferent attitude and lack of coordination from both the front door check in and upstairs reception, coupled by the difficulty to get basic items like water, spices and sauces from the servers who rush by the tables, diminished our enjoyment of the meal.“
“Hon Wun Tun House might be modest in looks, but it's a heavyweight champ in the world of Chinese comfort food. Their duck wontons are the real MVP here—picture tender duck morsels wrapped in a delicate, thin skin, taking a swim in a broth that’s rich enough to start its own bank. These wontons could probably solve most of life's problems, or at least make you forget them while you’re dining. And if duck isn't your game, their classic pork and shrimp wontons are equally capable of winning your heart. Swing by for a taste; just don’t expect frills—unless you count the noodles!“
“They have special dishes. I have tried two items. One is rib rice. The other is eel rice. The eel rice was of wooden ear mushroom, orange peel to flavor it, Chinese preserved sausage and eel shreds. Very special item. I like it. It’s very folky. I wouldn’t have tried it if it’s not for them.“
“You know you came here for the noodles, so don’t complain about the service or the waitress not asking how your day went. The wontons are good but the dumplings are even better. Their beef brisket over noodles are very good. The pork kidney and liver is also my favorite.“
“I am still thinking about my stuffed eggplant. Oh! And the Chinese greens with Garic. Oh! And the lotus paste bao. Oh! And the…You get the idea.Maybe I ate at this place with “rose colored glasses” on - we managed to easily get a parking spot right in front of this spot and it put us in a great mood to begin with.But I am pretty sure it was just the delicious food.Simple Chinatown restaurant with staple dim sum.Vegetarian options: Be careful. Some items seem vegetarian but have fish or shrimp sauce / paste or are cooked in an animal fat. Make sure to ask.Dietary restrictions: Be careful- ask the right questions some things have hidden ingredients and they do not mark anything. High probability of cross contaminationParking: This is downtown San Francisco- god speed.Kid-friendliness: It is a classic Chinatown restaurant- you know your kids will they like seeing roast hanging ducks? Seeing the dish they will be eating in a tank? If so, like mine, than yes!Wheelchair accessibility: Not really. But people make it work.“
“I've known of Good Mong Kok Bakery for years and have always had it on my list. It's one of the most popular spots for dim sum in Chinatown for locals and tourists. With a short line, we made a spur-of-the-moment decision to give it a shot! The bakery and dim sum spot operate as take-out only. You're able to view the menu outside and inside. The interior is narrow, noisy, and only fits a handful of people. Order with the ladies, they'll pack it up, and you pay and head on your merry way. Cash is preferred as there's a surcharge for cards. Luckily we came with my companion who could order and speak to them in Cantonese--so he did all the work haha. We ordered a few items to share: Shrimp Dumplings, Pork Shui Mai, and Steamed B.B.Q. Pork Bun. Each item comes with a different set of pieces. My Dad loved the shui mai--strong pork flavor. I enjoyed the har gow as it was plump and tasty. The steamed pork bun was ginormous in size and I ended up sharing it with my companion. I do feel like the pieces could've been bigger (aside from the pork bun) for the price. With sufficient dim sum restaurants in San Francisco's Chinatown, Good Mong Kok is highly spoken of. A quick service spot for all to try with a good dim sum! Located off Stockton Street, street parking is limited in the area.“
“I came here with my parents for lunch and there's lot of open seating. My parents wanted to come here since they missed the eel clay pot rice they grew up eating in China. Even at 12pm there were only 2 other tables that were occupied. They have a large selection on the menu with many chefs and house special dishes. They also serve dim sum here if you're not sure what type of Chinese food you want. Yellow Eel Clay Pot Rice (4.5/5) - the rice was well made, and the crispy rice from the bottom of the pot made for great contrast in texture! It's very close to traditional yellow eel clay pot rice that you can find in China! Steamed White Eel with Black Bean Sauce (5/5) - best dish of the meal! The eel was the perfect texture, slightly crunchy (in a good way) and not mushy. Flavors were bold and nostalgic! Taishan Five Flavor Goose (3.5/5) - the flavors were great but the goose itself wasn't great quality (most likely can't compare to what you find in China) Green String Beans (5/5) - they were just right! Well seasoned in a garlicky stir fry, crispy and light. If you are in the area and looking for authentic Chinese eel or clay pot dishes, you should check out Taishan Restaurant! Fun Fact: They have a karaoke room in the back!“
“The old cashier by the counter was told an order of "sweet and sour soup" and she repeated it as "sweet and sour pork". Assuming the sweet and sour soup had pork in it, okay, agreed with that order.When the order arrived, it was sweet and sour pork with rice and veggies which is $10, INSTEAD of soup.Asked her to replace it, she said add $2. The old lady behind the counter pulled out VEGETABLE SOUP!!! After that, asked her to give the correct item which is sweet and sour soup she said that's an additional $9. It was her error in taking down the order.She said, give back the prior order which is sweet and sour pork with rice and she'll give the sweet and sour soup. She gave the sweet and sour soup and pocketed the $3 (it's been $2 added for the soup, along with the prior $10 paid for the sweet and sour pork and rice). The sweet and sour pork with rice is $10 which she took back, she took that back.Gave a run around just to order sweet and sour soup, and she pocketed $3. She was given gratuity of $5 before that. She still gave that run around just to pocket an extra $3.“
“The restaurant was full at lunchtime on a Monday. There was a short wait before I was seated. I ordered a wonton soup $8 and a crispy tomato beef noodles $13.75. It took about five minutes for the soup to come out and another 15 minutes for the crispy noodles to arrive. The wontons were tasty with pieces of minced meat and shrimp. As for the crispy noodles, the chef messed it up. I asked for less sauce and it came out smothered. Most of the noodles were already soggy. There's no sense in ordering crispy noodles if the chef is going to do that. There's only one waitress for the entire restaurant. Service is slow but I don't blame her. Pro tip, the restroom key is tied to a tin can on the bakery counter.“
“I wouldn’t recommend this place when we left it seems like the waiter didn’t want us to leave till we gave him a bigger tip that we already gave him even we put the tip on the table before we were about to leave. We gave him a good amount. The service was terrible. Not coming here ever again.“
“I love this spot it's my go to whenever I am disappointed by a different dim sum spot that my boyfriend wants to go to I say we should've just gone to chase luck. The ladies at the counter are always quick and nice the food is amazing it doesn't have a million wrappers on it and hasn't been sitting out for days. It's not impossible to find parking in the area most times I've been there. I rarely leave reviews but I love this place so much that any low review on here makes me angry!“
“I went here a few times, the food still pretty good, We ordered a set lunch for 6-7 ppl, very yummy and big portions, still very affordable price, the staff is very friendly and helpful today, hopefully more ppl come to support this small business :)“
“Place is not bad for cheung fun and noodle soup. Place is hard to find cause it's hella small and doesnt look like a restaurant from outside. Cheung fun is good especially the plain one my babac got. The place is cash only like most asian places on irving. Make sure u have cash before you go in unless u plan to dine and ditch lol“
“Delicious dinner with friends at House of Nanking. Don’t expect anything fancy or a comfortable hang out type place, here you get an eat and get out kinda place cause there is always a line of people waiting. Food was delicious including sesame chicken and tofu in black bean sauce. The fried rice was finished table side with more than enough egg to make an omelette. Wasn’t a huge fan of the fried rice flavor but loved everything else.“
“The dim sum here is great. We got take out, but whether you are eating in or taking out you will be in for a wonderful experience.Vegetarian options: There are a variety of tasty vegetarian items on the menu. The desserts are especially delicious.Parking: There is paid street parking, but it can be kind of hard to find a spot nearby.“
“It’s a long-standing & super famous restaurant in SF China town, and its fame is of no doubt honestly earned & lives up to. It’s a long drive from Bay Area but it’s 100% worth it. It is one of the very best Cantonese restaurants in Bay Area, I would even say it would make its name back in Canton Guangzhou.The menu selection is down to earth & truly authentic, no fancy fusion here, all real hometown food. Might be leaning towards a higher priceline, compared to China town average, but again, worth it. I would say, no specific recommendations on what to order, just order whatever you want, it won’t disappoint!Might have some limited street parking during the night but it can get difficult during the day, normal SF parking situation. Doesn’t hurt to park further and take a small stroll thu!“
“This place was absolutely outstanding in almost every way possible! I’ve dined at all ranks of Michelin star restaurants across the country, and this place could be deserving in coming years. It also won’t break the bank as it’s only just over $100 per person for a hefty 5 course meal. Cocktails are fantastic and the wine list is curated expertly.The only things that need to improve -This is a Chinese / Cantonese restaurant but only has one Chinese wine….and it’s $700 ??I agree with others that having to add on dessert doesn’t make sense. I’d rather pay more per person and have dessert included.Everything else was perfect and can’t wait to go back!“
