This place is amazing! However, be prepared to wait in line, as it’s cash only and there’s nowhere to sit. I highly recommend for you to write down/have ready the number of the item of the menu you want to order, as it will facilitate and make the ordering process faster. I tried the baked pork bun, scallion pancake, shrimp dumplings, and black sesame balls. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The shrimp dumplings were flavorful and had a great texture, while the black sesame balls were not too oily and perfectly cooked (I could eat 1,000 of them!). I completely understand the hype surrounding this place.

If you're used to amazing dumplings - the ones here are beyond below average. Not very good at all. Chewy and glutenous. The pineapple pork bun was OK. There is a small queue outside but runs fast. Luckily the prices are decent for what you get.

Known to be the most famous spot for authentic dim sum. We stopped by only because our tour guide recommended. In general food was good

Good Mong Kok Bakery - cute little shop specializing in all the delicious plates of dim sum, noodles, roast duck. So many locals in here. Walked in to check out the place as we made our way through Chinatown in downtown San Francisco. Easy to point at the food, order, pay, leave. Enjoyed these dumplings the most!!!! Super flavorful, fresh, and the buns were fresh too. I think this was my favorite stop in the Bay Area Chinatown!

Went here to the famous Good Ming Kok bakery a few times and there is always a line. I always see people lining up here and had to check it out. With over 3k reviews, this place has to be good, right?! The fan of this place mainly love it. The place is small and only for pick up, no dine in or seating inside.. My faves here are the scallion bun which is big, super soft and buttery, and a steal for the portion. I love bread! So delicious! It's always best when you get it fresh. It almost never arrives home as I snack on it while going home. Their BBQ pork buns are good, too. We had their shrimp dumplings, baked pork bun, Shu main, egg tarts, scallion bun and more. With everything we bought, the price was very decent! It's best to go early but there is a wait in line. Going after lunch, there is only so much left and limited things to buy as they run out fast. I just wonder where they cook everything and I don't see a kitchen and this place is super tight inside even when customers line up ordering. All street parking so good luck finding one! I wish they were closer to our place or a second location with better parking. They don't speak very good English but as long as you point it out while saying it, you should be good but they are quick so make sure it's what you want. Oh and it's cash only!! Must try! Don't let the rating and line fool you. I think it's worth a try. I'm thinking of the scallion bun and I want some again!
