“Beautiful dinning room, food was only so so. It was expensive, but that’s everywhere nowadays.“

“Eats lot of good food and come out fast“

“Great place to eat dim sum“

“This was one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. I ordered a green union pancake and it was incredible. Pork&shrimp dumplings were the best and beef chow fun was really good. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for chinese food.“

“點心新鮮熱辣👍👍👍 小菜價錢大衆化👍👍出品普遍色、香、味齊😋😋😋“

“We’ve been heading over to The Night Market for the past few years! The classics are all good, Hainan Chicken, Beef Chow Fun, minced Beef over rice. But if you want to try something unique to The Night Market try the Longan Crispy Pork over rice. I can’t imagine a dish that so uniquely represents the Asian American experience. Finish it off with a mango Sago!“

“Highly recommend! Excellent food and great service. Be sure to try the salt & pepper soft-shelled crab, braised pork belly, sweet & sour pork, BBQ pork, shrimp & chives, and the sesame balls. Everything comes out fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious.“

“Really good shrimp dumplings. Great variety of high quality dim sum at a low price. No frills, order at counter and sit down at one of the tables or take out. Extremely hot tea, which was pleasing for my dad. Bring your tourist friends here for the classic SF dim sum counter experience. Better quality than most chinatown spots, this place caters to locals“

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

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

“Best first time experience ever!!! Had a group of 5 and we called in advance and they were so accommodating. Food was delicious and service was fast. We met the owner/chef and he was so kind to us. Highly recommend and we will definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“Food and service were great. We were happy with everything we ordered, especially the duck. The only drawback is the banquette tables are too close together, so it's difficult to squeeze into the bench seat. You will disturb your neighboring table no matter what.“

“Just came in to.pick up BBQ bake pork bun,sesame ball, cocktail bun sweet rice cake. To have with coffee when I get back home.the taste is the same. The price went up.and size of the BBQ buns are now smaller than before. Everything nowadays are like that..just get use to it .“

“We had dinner at this quaint Dim Sum restaurant last night. Proprietors are a young Chinese couple, their dim sum dishes rivals some of the fancier larger Chinese restaurants. And at a much more reasonable price. We highly recommend Dim Sum Best of Taste to anyone interested in a good hearty dim sum (small plates) meal. And we would definitely come again next time we're in Alameda.“

“The food is very good and worth tasting“

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“This was the best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever had in my entire life, and that’s saying something cause I’ve eaten at a lot of different Chinese restaurants. My brothers came with me and they agree. Anytime I’m in San Francisco I will come here.“

“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.“

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“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.“

“Get here at 930am at open and enjoy some of the best dim sum there is to offer. I am beyond impressed and that's coming from growing up going to flushing in queens, NY. I would come back here to try other delicious dishes. I'm almost hesitant to post this because I'd want to keep the old people happy in their routine.“

“Great dumpling restaurant, reminded me of going to dim sum, but with larger portions! They had a large selection marked with a green dot for Vegan. 💚

Absolutely loved the bean curd salad, the garlic noodles, the veggie bun, and the red bean pancake!

Super duper nice staff, took really good care of us!“

“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!“

“We came here to try the bbq fried rice. They are called a dim sum cafe but people who were eating here seemed to be ordering more a la carte/entree type dishes.
It looked like your typical restaurant in the area. Nothing fancy but pretty busy. Our bbq fried rice was fresh and tasty. Simple but satisfying and reasonably priced.“

“Good Mong Kok Bakery is an authentic Chinese bakery located in the heart of San Francisco’s Chinatown. You know the food is the legit when the shop is run by hardworking grandmas who operate at lightning speed with minimal English exchange. Thankfully, there are plenty of photo menus to guide you, but I highly recommend having your order prepared on your phone. If you hesitate, they will skip right over you, and honestly, neither the staff nor the regulars have time for indecisiveness.

Everything here is delicious, from the deep-fried meat dumplings to the har gow dim sum to the steamed BBQ pork buns. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. It’s fast, chaotic, and incredibly good, just the way a Chinatown bakery should be.“

“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“

“My Seafood Tofu soup came out quickly after I was served hot tea immediately. Everything is priced decent for the area. I was just in for a quick lunch so that is all I ordered, but when I come back I plan to try more of the menu. It was a good portion, full of seafood and yummy.“

“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.“

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

“Every time I stop by this place,I pick up 1 or 2 of their baked char siu bao. I usually finish them before I can walk 2 or 3 blocks away but hey they're meant to be enjoyed. It's not a typical char siu bao because this one has a sweet soft white crust on top that's almost reminiscent of a pineapple buns top. It costs $2 each and it's worth a try if you want to experience a variant on the char siu bao.

The ladies working there are friendly and efficient. It's a small shop so it's best as a grab and go place.“

“Support small businesses!

Where you can find quality handcrafted food. I loved everything I’d ordered. From dim sum, milk tea, white sauce, marinated pork ribs and chicken feet, baked egg custard, to specialty traditional Hong Konger soup of the day!
I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have experience this taste again, I left HK back in 2006. This place tasted like home, my childhood, I wonder if they are from Kwun Tong too!

Thank you Hongry Kong for delivering amazing memories to me. I had already placed my second order. Spread the word out, hope you continues with success!“

“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.“

“Some wins (spicy siu mai, mini spicy potstickers, har gow, bbq pork bun), some fine but not outstanding and probably would not go out of my way to order again (scallion pancake, XLB, regular potsticker, Dan Dan noodle). Nice bright cafe vibe (went lunch time). QR code ordering at tables which was really annoying (lost my order twice due to website difficulties). Nice lunch for a Monday afternoon.“

“No wait to sit down which is uncommon for dim sum in the area. Friendly and quick service despite being understaffed. They were out of quite a few items on the menu. The scallion oil noodles just tasted like soy sauce, I don't recommend those. I do recommend the bbq pork buns, string beans, and pork sheng jian bao. The last two are a must order!“

“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. 😋“

“We went there for Thanksgiving for the first time. As a vegetarian, I can say I had many options, and what I chose was outstanding. My wife and daughter enjoyed their fish and meat dishes and I can honestly say there wasn’t one dish that wasn’t outstanding. I heartily recommend this place and I’m considering going back for Christmas if they’re open.“

“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“

“The food was authentic, very affordable prices compared to other dim sum spots in San Mateo. I arrived at 12pm and there were plenty of seats, but the place quickly filled up afterward. There are two menus. I don't know why. I would grab both because some things I usually get are in the other menu.“

“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!“

“We dined in Dynasty Dumpling after a show last night as it had good ratings on Google maps.
We were lucky to get parking right as we arrived. Mind you, there isn't much so bare that in mind.
We arrived within an hour of closing, and this place was still quite busy. We were seated promptly. The place is bright, decor inviting and clean.
Our jasmine tea came piping hot, which suited the cool night weather.
We proceeded to order our food. The two kind ladies running the table orders and service were very efficient and helpful to all the guests who were dining. There were 3 more groups who arrived after us plus at least 5 food delivery drivers and 3 people picking up their own orders. For context, we were seated in front of the cashier's desk and could see them coming and going.
Dinner was delicious Cantonese cuisine, contrary to some reviews. Our experience was perfect. I will let the pics of the food speak for themselves. My favorites were the dumplings, I must say. Both are very good from the dumpling wrapper/skin to the differently seasoned flavorful fillings.
Price was on point. The portions, definitely for sharing, we have plenty now for lunch today. The only pic missing is the seafood tofu soup, which also came piping hot and so delicious we forgot to take a pic.
We would definitely dine here again when back in the city.
Another plus is that the restrooms are kept very clean, for those wondering.“

“Great place for dim sum and good service“

“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!“

“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“
