    I really wanted to like the food. Tried har gow, shu mai, charshui bow, shrimp with broccoli. Very poor quality and tasteless. Har gow was mealy pasty texture. Perhaps the roasted meats are why ratings are high. The basic chinese food dish was bland. Staff was friendly. "Cash only" was a surprise, glad I had some with me.

    My go to place when we have a big party and need food to cater the function... I'm willing to travel all the way down here to pick my my trays of Shumai (they are big) Har gow, sticky rice, Puto, Duck & Lechon just to name some of my favorites.... Yummy goodness and price is Reasonable.

    Feb. 2022 pricing.

    This is a review after 3 different visits to the store to provide more completeness. The 3 vists were on different days too (Wed., Sat., & Mon.) to gauge service and food quality at different times. The review is also limited to foods tasted from the roast meats and Dim Sum only. I have included prices lists as of Feb. 2022. As of this writing in April 2022, the place only offers take-out. Service is fine for a mom and pop place. CASH only please. Dim Sum - Not all Dim Sum are created equal. There's the higher end high-end restaurant qaulity, and "Street Food" level of quality. Golden Daisy falls in the latter category. Having said that, the food ingredientss were fresh, though may be of a lesser quality. For example, the shrimp in the Shrimp Dumplings were very small (though there were many!) compared to larger shrimp in higher quality places. Shu Mai was mainly pork with no visable shrimp. There may be chopped shrimp in them but I can't tell nor am able to taste from the samples. The item size was large for these items. The overall quality and taste of these items were consistent over the 3 I was times there. The standouts for me are the deep fried dumplings, the Bean Curd Rolls (Slight quality consistentcy issues on this one.), and the rice dumpling ("Jung", not on menu.). The Bao dough and taste were very good, though there's way too little stuffing in them. The pricing was very good compared to other Dim Sum places, which I believe makes this place worth visiting especially. Roasts meats - Only tried the Char Siew and the Roast Pork so far. The former is nothing to write about. The latter had some quality issues, but the taste is actually pretty good. (The last time, the lady dripped sauce on the crispy skin of the roast pork, negating the crispy skin texture { SIN! ], and was drier than the previous 2 times.) Overall, I am pleased to have tried out this place, and will very likely visit frequently compared to other places for the Dim Sum. I believe there are places offering better Roast Meats however. Regardles, this place offers a better bang for the buck for the cost conscious.

    Love this little gem on Beacon Hill! Don't let the unassuming and somewhat shabby exterior fool you. Inside you will find sublime BBQ pork, duck and crispy roast pork. The BBQ pork is lean, tasty and at $7 a pound, a real bargain. For around $300 you can purchase a whole crispy pig. This family run restaurant has friendly and attentive service. The portions are large and the prices are more than reasonable. Four of us could barely finish two dishes. Stop in and you will be sure to become a regular.

    30 lb piggie

    Review is only for catering experience - namely BBQ whole pig! In terms of presentation, serving the whole animal will surely make an impression on guests! We got a 30 lb piggie for hosting a wedding party for my sister. The restaurant is mostly BBQ takeout and they do have dim sum to go. It's really tiny and parking is virtually non-existent. The good news is that they will help you haul out the pig to your trunk if you park in the loading zone. As for the pig itself - amazing! Crispy skin and some if the most juiciest meat imaginable. All the guests enjoyed it and my uncle commented it was better than versions he had in San Francisco! 30 lbs of pig was quickly chopped up and distributed to the various families by the end of the day. Not sure who got to keep the best part though - according to Andrew Zimmer it's the cheeks!

    Shu mai & pork buns
    Dorje T.

    If you're fussy about decor or nervous about grimy hole in the wall places, you probably won't like Golden Daisy. English is barely spoken, it's cash only and the list goes on. I do not care. It's been my experience that some of the best food comes from the unlikeliest of sources. Golden Daisy falls neatly into that category. Seriously great dim sum. Probably the best shui mai in town. The bbq duck & pork are stellar and fresh. And the prices? Like a budgie: cheap!!! The staff is sweet and accommodating in a gruff way. Again, you'll either love it or hate it. Can't please everyone and Golden Daisy is about as unpretentious as can be. But it's very solid!

For most people, I feel that we find a Chinese restaurant and if we like it, we commit forever. I haven't had Fortune Garden and felt adventurous, was not disappointed in taste though I'd be interested in comparing value across the shops in Chinatown. They have some nice lunch combos, but sucks that they don't provide soup for takeout. Could substitute with a rice or something! Honey Walnuts Prawns - honey walnut shrimp is such a classic, easily one of my favorites from childhood and still near the top of my list. I don't know if it's the takeout container, but the quantity with respect the box was disappointing. Felt like there was less shrimp and walnuts compared to what I'm used to, but I think I also pay closer to $22-25 for the dish (the one here was $20). Minced Pork with Green Bean - now this was a hefty box, lots of green beans tossed with the classic XO sauce and a solid amount of pork. Honestly not much to comment on, this was a hearty dish and very comforting. Would recommend for green bean or string bean lovers.

This place is a true gem, serving satisfying, delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere at an affordable price. The restaurant looks small from the front, but space is used efficiently and they manage to fit quite a bit of seating into not that large of a dining room. Tables are mostly four tops, quite spacious at that, and surrounded by sturdy wooden chairs. I came for dinner on a Friday evening and there were a few other tables at any given time. Service was quick and our water never ran empty. We had the wontons in hot oil, topped with peanuts, I had the beef chow fun, and my dinner buddy had the pork with hot sauce noodles. The wontons are very very good, stuffed with flavorful pork and swimming in a sauce that sits in that perfect spot at the intersection of hot and sour. The peanuts and scallions add a delightful crunch. Their beef chow fun satisfies every bit of childhood nostalgia I have for this dish, with lots of wok hei, bouncy noodles, and the most tender of beef. I think my favorite beef chow fun in the city still lives at A+ Hong Kong Kitchen, but this is a close second. The portion here is also huge. I am a human vacuum and I actually brought leftovers home, which is rare for me. The pork with hot sauce noodles is seemingly a fusion of zha jiang mian and dan dan noodles. My friend really enjoyed it and actually finished the whole thing, which is saying something given that she doesn't usually eat that much. There are so many other items on the menu that I'm eager to try, so I will definitely be back.

We got the preserved meat clay pot rice, salt and pepper fried fish filet, and beef brisket and wonton noodle soup. The clay pot rice was okay - the pricing is fair but the execution could be a bit better. I felt like the rice was a bit lacking in flavor, and they only have the standard soy sauce, not the ones in a sauce tray that is usually a bit sweeter. The salt and pepper fried fish filet was good - definitely recommend that for the taste and value. The noodle soup was also good - the wontons were okay but I loved the beef brisket. Noodles seem to be handmade as the texture is a bit uneven, but I appreciate these types of noodles more. Service is standard for a Chinese restaurant - you just need to flag them down and requests are fulfilled in a timely manner

Also, when did we start calling it, "The International District". If we had Mexican, Italian and other ethnic restaurants in the neighborhood, I'd get on board, but not only do San Francisco, New York and L. A. have the biggest Chinatowns, cities also have Barrio's and Little Italy's, so clearly cultures are ok with us specifying. A friend brought up Scallion Beef, so I did a search, Scallion Beef is sometimes called Ginger Beef, so H Bistro came up in my results. Initially, I wondered if H Bistro was Hong Kong Bistro and they rebranded, but HKB is still in business and around the corner and not very good mind you. Reviews for H Bistro are strong and the photo's convinced me that this should be a better than average meal. People talked about the lunch special and since I had a meeting downtown in the afternoon, I thought I could pop in here before my meeting. Once there I was sat. I didn't see lunch on the menu, so I asked and was told, lunch was no longer offered. Again, with no website, I had to rely on Yelp so despite reviews from 2024 talking about lunch, it's not longer offered. I got the Ginger Beef and asked if they did soup by the cup and was also told no. That is why Chinese Lunch is so popular, you typically get soup, rice, entrée and even an appetizer. That is a full meal. I just had my entrée and rice. I asked for chili oil and was brought a very small portion, It had good flavor, but no heat. The entree was good, but without soup and appetizer it just wasn't well rounded. Also, the food would have benefited from being served on a hot iron plate. Not only does it add sear, but it keeps the dish hot. Post meal, I had hoped for a cookie and despite being a block from the fortune cookie factory, no cookie was served. Would I return, sure, with a large group, that would be the only way to truly experience the menu. With 2 people I could have added soup and appetizer as the entrée is also large enough for 2. That said, this was one the cleaner places in Chinatown. That is not to say Chinatown is dirty, but many restaurants need paint, have old furniture or have water stains. This place was fairly nice inside and could be classy with a few more bucks invested. This place really shot itself in the foot by discontinuing lunch, despite being decent, there was just too much disappointment today.
