“hk lounge bistro is hands down my favorite hk style cantonese restaurant. you can't beat the freshness and flavors of the food, and the service is superb. everyone is so nice and i love seeing the same team each time we dine here. it's a sf treasure!“

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

“Baked BBQ Pork Bun was the best that I've had. Dim sum was a lot more expensive than the last time I visited. I thought that it was cheap that time, this time it was not expensive, but definitely not as reasonable. Food was still pretty good, but just not as good as several other favorite places around the country. Cash only!“

“Assorted bao was fabulous. Please open a location in Minneola!!!“

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

“Went for a late night snack and it was all amazing. The host was very nice and friendly. All the food came out in a timely manner. They didn’t have chili oil on the table but they brought some out when I asked. The staff seem very professional.“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“The food was flavourful and the texture was just right. We ordered the Peking duck and soy chicken. Our kids loved the chicken with a side of steamed rice. The chef enjoys strong flavours and skillfully cut the chicken like butter in front of our table. The atmosphere is casual with an Asian-fusion trendy vibe.“

“We always know DELICIOUS dim sum will have FRESH made dim sum. We take it to go. My favorite is the shrimp dumpling but we love everything. It's probably easier and quicker if you know what you want. I take screenshots😊 ENJOY!!!“

“Try it all. Everything was delicious and very affordable 😋 I sampled 7 different kinds of dim sum, a BBQ bun and the egg tarts for $18. I was a little overwhelmed when I first looked at the extensive menu, but the lovely lady at the counter was very patient with me😊. She gathered my goodies into little clam boxes as I called out the numbers of the tasty looking dishes and pointed at the beautiful buns. I'm kicking myself that I didn't get more.“

“We love their bake bbq pork buns. They are on the smaller side but the filler was good with plenty of pork, not so much fat and just the right flavor. Not excessively salty or sweet. The bun is thin and not doughy. The bun and the filling balances well with each other. I’ve tried their other items too and they are also pretty good.“

“The food is very good and worth tasting“

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“I just back from Taiwan and was craving red braised beef noodle soup. This was better than most of the ones I had in Taiwan! Flavorful broth, chewy noodles, and tender meat. Highly recommend. I’ve already ordered it for delivery a few times and recommended it to a few friends.“

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“Came to see Motley Crue concert and stopped for lunch to spend time with my Wife. The dim sum and shumau were very delicate and wonderfully prepared. Every bite of our meal was delicious and perfectly prepared.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Such amazing food!!! My wife and I got the Beef Pan Fried Mixed Vegetable Noodles and Half a BBQ Roasted Duck and they were both excellent!

Carol and John treated us so well and we even received a complimentary Red Bean Soup for dessert that was so surprisingly sweet for a bean soup!!

It's a little bright in there but the lighting wasn't aggressive and the seating is in a beautiful space. Great date spot!“

“Great service and some of the best Chinese food I have had. Everything tasted very fresh. The vegetables had a good crunch and the dimsum was outstanding. The siumai was large and the chicken feet had great umami. The sweet and sour pork had really good flavor, texture, and crunch.

The beef chow fun came in a big portion. The tofu beef was amazing. The kung pao chicken had lots of peanuts which made it extra tasty. The beef spareribs were huge with a crispy outside and a tender inside and they were seasoned really well.

The service was great from start to finish. For the first time ever in a Chinese restaurant we did not have any take home food because we devoured everything.“

“I love this place! Delicious har gow, bbq pork buns, and chicken siu mai. The dumplings have a delicious chewy texture, and the pastry/buns are always amazing. Everything tastes so fresh and it feels like they put a lot of care and love into their food. I like their Hong Kong milk tea as well!“

“Whenever I visit San Francisco, I have to stop here. Where I live we don’t really have quality dim sum options, so visiting here is critical :) This place is well priced, quick for service, and delicious. For visitors, unfamiliar with dim sum places, you gotta always bring cash. It’s cash only. I’ll definitely return soon“

“Delicious shrimp dumpling (although I had ordered the coriander), wheat man tou, and Chiu Chow style dumplings which seemed to have pork with bamboo shoots. They have tables for sitting but it's more of a takeout place with everything put into plastic bags.“

“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!“

“went here for lunch with my friends and ordered a bunch of food! got the garlic beans, vegetable chow mein, a few buns/dumplings and the vegetable pot stickers! burning tasted amazing and the service was quick and efficient (you order via a qr code). went around 3 pm on a sunday and there was no wait + open tables. def would go again!“

“Excellent quality and price! Please don't change a thing 😃

February 2026 update: new management seems good, friendly service, nice remodel with more tables. Food still very tasty, but wontons in chili oil are a lot spicier than they were previously.“

“When I'm in the Sunset District in San Francisco, I like to pick up some bao at Mongkok Dim Sum before I go home. They were busier a few years ago, but the line is much shorter now compared to a few years ago after a competitor opened in the area. Their dim sum is still good, and the service is pretty much the same as before. Fast and easy is good for me. I’ll still stop by next time I’m in the area.“

“A very locals option for carry out dimsum — a selection not as extensive as other Cantonese bakeries on San Bruno Avenue, but good quality. Charsiu bao (BBQ pork buns) are meaty (not fatty), getting the more-savory-to-sweet proportions just right.“

“Hands down, my favorite place in San Francisco!!! This place has EXCELLENT, delicious dim sum and food.The spicy pork soup dumplings are some of the best I've had. Get two orders. I've tried the Singapore style noodles, (excellent if you want to add a mild flavorful noodle dish to your dinner spread). The staff is exceptionally kind, helpful, courteous and accommodating. The place is clean and inviting. The food is delicious. Thank you Ken, Jessica, Andy and Yia-Yia. Go and eat in for the lunch specials and dinner! Try the egg yolk custard buns too! Best thing ever. I've had the Mongolian Beef, Beef with String Beans, Singapore Noodles, Shu Mai, BBQ pork buns, all delicious never had a bad meal here! Go! It's delicious 🤤🤤“

“So delicious. Had the pork sheng jian bao, chili oil wonton and Chinese broccoli. Pork sheng jian baos were amazing, the soup was delicious, and the crispy bottom was a nice touch to the soup dumpling, something i don't see often. Chili oil wonton were delicious as well. Service was timely and friendly. I would definitely come back here again.

no wait on a Monday night right at opening time 5pm for dinner“

“Authentic dim sum restaurant. We dine in and had some Shuman, shrimp rice noodle roll, and Custard bun. Food was great except the rice noodle roll was too much noodle and not enough shrimp. We ended up getting some more buns and dim sum togo.“

“We loved this place so much that we went back two days in a row. You get so much food at such a great price. We ordered the baked BBQ buns, spring rolls and fried dumplings and our total was $8. We decided to get some pastries and the coconut buns were $0.30/piece and so yummy! The restaurant is tiny but the food is authentic. We will definitely be back next time we visit San Francisco. 😋“

“What a great experience! I especially love the chicken Goyza, pork dim sum and the Xiao Long Bao. I can’t wait to go back! Chef Suz ATX“

“Consistently the best dim sum in the neighborhood! I’ve been coming here for over a decade, and it’s not only delicious but also incredibly reliable—especially important for someone like me with a sensitive stomach. The quality has never wavered. Truly a hidden gem!“

“Consistently good food and service and reasonably priced for the quality and atmosphere. We come here when we crave Chinese food and you know it's legit because the older generation Chinese eat here too.

We have been here / taken out many times. All the food is flavorful. Lots of good choices we rotate through on the menu but I always get the pan fried kurobuta pork baos.

Some Chinese places I find the food under seasoned or maybe not that well cooked, however this place does a great job. Everything is well seasoned and even simple dishes like mixed veggies - all the veggies were cooked well with beautiful bright green color and slight crunch/not overcooked. Small but important details“

“We loved just about everything we ordered here but I can only specifically remember (other than the pork ribs) that the buns were pork and the shumai were shrimp because otherwise we really just pointed at the items we wanted and ate without worry. We sat outside and food came out almost immediately. Definitely will be back.“

“Our daughter is obsessed with soup dumplings which we found at Fusion Dumpling. The traditional pork were great, but try the black truffle and wagyu soup dumplings. You won't be disappointed!“

“Great food not expensive !“

“Everything is just great!!! From your time waiting till you’re served, is wonderful.“

“Best dumpings ever. Never fails to be delicious. Ordered on Uber eats so many times and I’m never disappointed“

“The food was great, I liked it very much, I will go again next time“

“Great place for dim sum and good service“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“The food is tasty and delicious the inside needs a update the service is good it’s not too noisy“

“Very good food“

“loved it! duck was delicious!“

“Excellent choice for local, cheap dim sum in the Chinatown area of SF. You will see people ordering in bulk from here as they are also providers for other restaurants in the area.

There is seating outside with the shed they built. Pieces of dimsum or buns are cheap and ten dollars will get you full for a few hours of walking and exploring the city! Enjoy this hidden gem!“

“Delicious food so many different types of dumplings. I love their chubby noodles They haven't gotten anything like them anywhere else in my life.“

“Great flavors come off the woks at Nan King Road Bistro. The whole menu is worth ordering.“

“The food was excellent. Promot service too. Scallion (onion) pancakes are on point! Dumplings are steaming hot off the stove.“
