“Awesome Food. Good prices.“

“Amazing! food was one of the best meals I've ever had in my life! Atmosphere is amazing!“

“Delicious and served with a smile. Great food“

“Great dim sum. Friendly service. Great location in the fisherman’s wharf area where locals and tourists can enjoy the food and the scenary“

“We enjoyed our lunch here!

The food was delicious and had options for pescatarians like me and those who eat everything like my friends.

They were also cautious of the peanut and shellfish allergies at the table.

I would go back for more crispy noodles and veggie dumplings, but the green beans with tofu was my favorite!“

“We had such an outstanding meal - a lot of that was thanks to the great recommendations by our server. The vibe of the restaurant was very cute. My husband and I shared the Mongolian beef, popcorn chicken, shishito peppers, cabbage, green beans, and clay pot rice. It was all excellent and so flavourful. We can't wait to revisit and try more!“

“食物美味，环境优美，服务很棒，下次再来“

“Good portions and a clean interior. It was pretty empty around 5:30 but started filling up by 6:30. Hospitality could use some work. No one greeted us when we walked in, so we waited about 5 minutes to be seated despite it being fairly empty. Once the food arrived, we were seated in a corner and had trouble flagging down a server for the check. The staff should be more attentive and check in more regularly but food was good“

“What a really delightful find- at par with Hong Kong.

Was just walking by and decided to give this place a shot. soo worth it.

Seriously, this is the best wonton noodle soup i have had outside of hong kong.

Even the hot sauce was incredibly traditional, fiery enough to demand your respect, and ready to punish you if not taken seriously. The soup was fragrant, you could taste the freshness of the stock. the dumplings were fresh with firm prawsn in them.
the beef was cooked tender with just enough bite to make things exciting. the noodles were incredibly firm to the bite. omg i want to go back.

definitely worth coming in and trying!“

“Super yummy dim sum, no complaints about the taste. The price was on the higher side. Ambience is really nice, they have these green booths that give an elegant feel to the place. My party of 3 had to wait about 15-20 min for a spot during lunch.“

“The taste is very good, I will go there again next time.“

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“早餐very good👍✌， we are going very time.“

“Great dim sum spot with that classic mom-and-pop vibe. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and served hot with a really nice variety to choose from. Everything we tried was delicious and felt authentic. On top of that, the prices are very affordable, making it an easy place to come back to often. The casual, welcoming atmosphere adds to the experience and makes it feel like a hidden gem. Definitely a great place for quality dim sum without breaking the bank.“

“Our clay pots were delicious (salted fish with diced chicken, and house special lamb stew), with perfectly crusty rice. We like spice, so added a little of their pickled peppers and pickle juice to our clay pots. The pea sprouts we ordered (off menu) were tender, with a little garlic. Appreciated the free tea and soup. Service was friendly and efficient. Basic tables and dinnerware made it feel even more authentic.“

“Takeout only, long line but moved quickly. We went close to when it closed so the options were understandably limited but everything we had was so tasty and so affordable. I was also pleasantly surprised they accepted card with no fees. Would love to come back for lunch maybe and try some of their other dishes!“

“Great place for dim sum and good service“

“Really impressed with this restaurant in Chinatown we went to today. It had freshly made great Chinese food. Great choices, great service. They even served tea with your meal. Good price. Small restaurant but that’s how they all looked there in Chinatown. I had the General Tsao and it was the best I have ever had. My husband had the hot and sour soup and loved it too. Would highly recommend if you visit Chinatown.“

“My family comes here or does take out once every month or so. Favorites are the char siu and duck which just hits the spot. Service is truly exceptional from being greeted at the door to attentive table service throughout. They are so welcoming to my child and that level of attention and care (consistently) is just so rare these days. Just a wonderful place all around.“

“Overall review is that this place is good, but nothing phenomenal. Shanghai dumplings were decent, the shrimp and chive were incredible, and the pork buns were decent. Overall prices are pretty solid, but nothing mind blowing. Worth a stop but don't expect to be blown away.“

“The food is very good and worth tasting“

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“Amazing 100 year ambiance with curtained booths for the prohibition era and trap doors in the floor. The food is amazing and always served with a smile and great taste!“

“Best dim sum in SF. Shark fin dumpling and deep fried pork puff are the best items. Low prices. No seating. To go only. Closes early, at 4 pm.“

“Miła obsługa i bardzo smacznie“

“Very good food“

“Really wanted to gatekeep this one but it’s too good not to write a review. Everything about it was exactly what I was looking for. Barely any english, only canto, stern auntie serving you up, cash only, and hefty portions. Got the roasted pork for just $10 and it came with a ton of rice and some cooked cabbage. Pork was so tender and flavorful while the skin added the perfect crunch and fattiness. Cheers to my go to Chinatown.“

“A popular local spot in Chinatown. This place is always packed, you will have to share tables with other people, and almost everyone here speak Chinese, so I think this place is authentic enough. The menu is very very affordable, each noodle soup item costs less than $10, and the most expensive shareable side order only costs $20. This is a steal in San Francisco.
We tried almost every signature dish, like beef brisket, curry fish balls, wonton and steamed pork & liver. Food portion were huge, you have to come here hungry.
My most favorite? Probably wonton and beef brisket. I think it's best to order wonton noodle soup (to get the light & sweet broth) and brisket dry noodles, because beef brisket itself is a bit fat and greasy, so you need something light to pair with it.
Overall, 9/10. Just remember to bring some cash with you when dining here.“

“Every person needs and craves connection everyday. Someone to talk about your favorite show with. Someone to notice your new favorite sweater you put on. At Do Eat, my friends and I walked in expecting to fill our stomachs. Little did we know that our hearts would be filled too. Though some of the staff spoke little English, their smiles and service broke through the language barrier. Our group of 5 was quickly and comfortably accommodated. The food was delicious and the portions so generous as to allow leftovers. The taste of the food is now a only memory, and soon all remnants will be gone from our stomachs. What will not leave is the everlasting connection we made with the beautiful people of Do Eat. Thank you.“

“Best bbq pork, roasted duck, and beef stew in the city. The tea eggs are also super good and savory that we can't get enough of. The staff are super kind, energetic and provide excellent services. My favorite place to come back to everytime i visit the city“

“The food quality is much, much higher quality than China town. It's cleaner. The bbq pork bun actually has meat. The shumai and hargow has more meats and are less greasy. Worth a quick trip to the area for a meal, even if you're on the other side of the city.“

“A relax old school dim sum place to enjoy sumptuous good dim sum. A favourite place for the senior regular. They even helped themself to refill the tea. A friendly place if u are familiar with old sch dim sum culture.
Food was big in portion and best of all, they don't charge tax which is very very rare in US.
Service was good by the old lady even though they are busy.
This will be my regular dim sum store whenever I visit San Francisco.“

“Every time we plan to go to San Francisco for a trip, my dad gets so excited about having a meal at this place because of some really good Chinese food in San Francisco. This is my dad’s cherry on top place in the city.“

“I’ve been here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. Both times have been excellent.

I actually think this is my favorite Chinese restaurant in SF thus far. The seafood is live and fresh.

Their desserts are delicious.

The service is also very thoughtful and attentive here.“

“This is the best freaking Chinese food/dim sum with an amazing price point. MY FAVORITE SPOT!! I used to go to city college and their dim sum would let me get so much food for cheap, and keeping me fed throughout the whole day I would have at school. I love it there and they make everything authentic every morning it’s so bussin.“

“Absolutely fell in LOVE with this place and this will be my go to place for dim sum in SF from now on. I discovered this gem when the line at good mong kok bakery was too long. There seemed to be plenty of locals in the restaurant so I decided to give it a shot. I spent around $40 got plenty of dim sum for the family to go around. The dim sum was hot, plump, and filled with meat!

We tried new moon last time, and was extremely disappointed because it was cold!! Plus, the have seating in the back. We will be coming back here. Bring cash!“

“Great Eastern is my absolute favorite place for dim sum. I love how everything comes out whenever it's ready and it's piping hot fresh. Everything is super tasty. And its very reasonably priced.

The downsides are just that if you go when they are super busy, the wait can be 30-60 minutes, you have to ask them for water , and it's very hard to get anyone's attention to refill your water class. This might sound ridiculous, but I often just bring a water bottle with me so I don't have to flag them down.

But the food is worth it!!!!!“
