    Baked BBQ Pork Bun
    Karina S.

    Had a delicious baked BBQ pork bun here! I wanted to try the pineapple pork bun but it was sold out by the time I made it here in the afternoon. The bun and its filling was hot, fluffy, and tasted very fresh. Cash only, be prepared to wait in line for a bit, and it's a grab and go spot with no seating.

    These buns are leaking from the inside out

    I get this questions from time to time. Where do I go for the best buns in the city? I keep thinking there are so many places to go for buns almost anywhere is SF. I often say it depends on where you are at. I enjoyed almost everywhere I go. Sometimes the list gets more narrow when you are in Chinatown. Although I enjoy the buns of dozens of places in Chinatown in SF I would say there is a place which is definitely my go to places in the city for buns and dim sum. It's located in Stockton ( not the city) street and it's called Good Mongkok Bakery. On a Chinatown stroll in San Francisco I landed on Stockton street. This place has just got more exposure over the years and it's now considered kind of a tourist trap. I still go here because I do enjoy their buns. I like their baked scallion bun which is savory and has good flavor but a bit flakey like some in SF. I then got the shrimp dumplings and they were delicious and soft and similar like some I seen on my social media feed. It is a take out spot which makes a good place to enjoy the bun at a park or anywhere in SF. When you are going on a Chinatown stroll around San Francisco with Don Juan you be doing more than a city "lap" you don't need another guide or "digital map" I will take you the best places not with the social media feed hype also known as slop "crap"or some promoted trendy place in the city "tourist trap" When it comes to finding the best" bun"in SF are the best in the USA "bar none"but there are so many places in SF the journey has just "begun" and Good Mongkok it's a take out place so you can enjoy it with Karl the Fog or when there is some "sun"

    These were my fave noddles, they told me they were cooking it, so it should be hot, but... it was warm

    I haven't been here in a while. The lines scares me. But this spot has been hyped up by social media... and it was a great disappointment. I stood in line yesterday, for a good 15 mins. Ordered my dim sums, shrimp dumplings, shiu mai, pot stickers, etc. all Dim Sum had no taste, they were bad! How did quality dropped so much? The dim sum used to be pipping hot, no longer the case! What kinda of meat are in the potstickers? Oi vey! Overall, super disappointed. Then on top of it, I ended using the bathroom too many times afterwards. I would not go here if I were you. Ambiance, ok

    This was the top rated dim sum in SF. It has no seating, so you pay and go. They serve a wide variety of dim sum that is always tasty and fresh. There are several signs for you to select your favorite items. Lines will fluctuate and move fast. They are constantly cooking dim sum, so they can run out at certain times in the morning. An hour or so later the items may be available. It is best to have your selections and backups before hand so you don't hold up the line.

    Siu Mai, Shrimp Dumpling, Sesame Ball
    Mariel M.

    Was craving to go Dim Sum in Chinatown and landed on Good Mong Kok Bakery and was extremely satisfied. We came on a Monday at around 1pm, and there was about a 15 person line, but by the time we left it almost doubled that. We did come while the World Cup was happening, so I'm assuming a large chunk of that were tourists. We got the Pork Siu Mai, Shrimp Dumpling and Sesame Balls, and they're as good as I've had at restaurants, maybe even better! I definitely recommend the sesame balls, they were the perfect sweet treat! We were also hoping to get pot stickers but were told they were all out. Be patient and be ready to wait. Expect no frills, cheap eats and good food. Luckily, they accept apple pay as a good portion of places in Chinatown are cash only. Will definitely be back if I'm in the area!

    It was crazy busy on Saturday around 1:30 PM. Unfortunately, a lot of items were already sold out, but we managed to get the last BBQ pork pineapple bun. It was delicious the crispy topping gave it a different texture compared to a regular BBQ pork bun. The place is small, crowded, but the service was fast, and the line wasn't too long of a wait despite how busy it was. I'll definitely come earlier next time so I can try more of their items!

    Good food, fast service despite the long line. It's helpful to check yelp for the menu ahead of time.

    Hole in the wall with a line most of the time. Dim Sum to go! Cheap, good and lots of variety. Pop in next time you are on Stockton Street in Chinatown.

    This place is famous for their dim sum and their prices especially in one of the most expensive city in Cali. The line and following is no joke. We waited in line for about 30 minutes, and the line was considered short. They accept credit card for a small fee (3%) but prefer cash. The ladies serving are typical Chinese customer service, meaning you are a bother to them and why the hell did you come here? And the award of RBF goes to them. We got all their dim sum, har gow, shui mai, steamed bbq bun, baked bbq bun, egg rolls (3) and egg tart. Yes the price is right! The dim sums were humongous compared to restaurants, however, they were extremely salty. We took the food to the nearby park and were not impressed. The best thing was the baked bbq bun, but dim itself was alright. Probably more popular for the affordable price versus taste.

    Pork buns
    Barbara S.

    A regular trek to the city was in order where a stop to China Town on the list. We do something unusual when in China Town, we go to several food establishments and purchase a couple of pork buns to compare with others. It's been a fun family tradition for years. Today we visited Good Ming Kok Bakery. The shop is small and crowded with cookware and patrons. The order board is on the wall with corresponding numbers to make it go quicker. It's a walk in, order and walk out establishment. Be prepared...there is a line. The ladies working are not personable and act as if they are doing us a favor. Very stern faced. (Service 1/5) The buns (5/5) were very tasty, light and full of meat. Definitely will keep this one on our radar when the kids come for a visit.

    04/18/26 Was in downtown San Francisco for a work event. On our last day, my sis-in-law and I wanted to grab something different to eat for breakfast other than bacon and eggs. We found this place on Yelp and it was about a 10 minute walk from where we were staying. Arrived before 9am and there was already a line formed. It's a tiny place so be prepared to grab and go. And you better know your order before you get to the counter because these boss ladies behind the counter work quick! Here's what I ordered and my rating: 1 baked bbq pork bun - perfectly baked but it lacked filling. I probably got one of those one offs. Taste was on point. Sweet and saucy. Would order again for sure. 1 steamed bbq pork bun - the filling was amazing. Perfect amount and same as above with the taste. The bun itself was slightly more starchy/bready than chewy/gummy, if that makes any sense. Everyone has a preference and I like mine a little chewy. I still would've ordered 3 more of these lol 1 order pork shumai - comes with 3 pieces per order - I don't usually rave about these. They never impressed me much. I'd never reach for more than one. But this one here.... This one has so much flavor. My eyes lit up after I took my first bite. 100/10 for this. Overall, 8/10. The food was delicious and service is what you can expect from a small yet busy and fast-paced establishment. One less star because I got more baked bread than meat filling. *sigh* I guess I gotta go back so I can make sure I get a perfectly filled baked bun.

    Loved the Bbq Bao!
    Heather S.

    SO DELICIOUS!! Based on recommendations from fellow foodies, this was our first stop in San Francisco--and it did not disappoint. They offer several varieties of dim sum and bao buns. We ordered: #20 Steamed BBQ Pork Bun #27 Steamed Sticky Rice Bun #2 Shu Mai #4 Chicken Shu Mai #6 Shark Fin Dumpling Favorites? Definitely the Shark Fin Dumpling and BBQ Pork Bao. Service: It's Chinatown, so if you don't speak the language, no worries--they have a simple English menu with numbered items that makes ordering easy for everyone. It's a cool cultural vibe for sure! We had a massive order (feeding a party of 8), but they were still kind, patient, and efficient. Helpful tip: When lining up, be mindful of neighboring businesses. The owner next door did ask the line to shift away from her entrance, which was totally understandable. BONUS: They accept Apple Pay. We will absolutely return on our next trip. If you're visiting the area, we parked at Chinatown Parking for a very reasonable price, and it was an easy walk to all the restaurants we wanted to try. Pro tip: Make an afternoon of it. Grab your food and enjoy it at the local park just south of the restaurant.

    Dim sum
    Jim N.

    No dine in seating but the dim sum is good. Shiu Mai, Shrimp Dumpling, egg tarts and bbq pork buns are made fresh all day. The egg starts are exceptional good, crust is flaky. The egg custard is light and creamy. Everything I try was really good and prices you can't beat.

    Will place be open Chinese New Year, Saturday, February 10, 2024?

    Place is rarely open. Don't count on it.

    The Maps app says the bakery is permanently closed but seems to be still open according to yelp. Has anyone gone recently? Thank you!

    They might close on Lunar New Year but otherwise they're always open. For shorter lines, they have a sister store down the street on Jackson just before Grant Ave:… 

    Do they give you soy sauce and are most of the items available right when they open? Are the steamed items warm or hot when you order them? I hate cold dim sum😡

    Arrived in the morning around 10 am. We had a variety of items and all were available and hot...straight from the steamers. We did not ask for soy sauce, mustard or chili sauce, but I don't see why they wouldn't have it. Everything is to go so eat… 

    How long does the line usually take? I want to go back on my lunch break

    Weekdays are usually 10-15 minutes. Weekends are longer. Closed on Tuesdays. Some of the best dim sum in SF. Reasonably priced. Parking is very challenging.

    Can you eat in or is it only take out?

    Yes! Chinese places are typically open during the Holidays!

    Did they opening on Christmas Day (12/24/22)?

    Are credit cards accepted?

    I just went there on 5/19/22 and they took credit cards.

    Is this the historical chinese bakery that will be closing business the end of the month?

    I don't know of any Chinese bakeries set to close this month, but I know the Benkyodo mochi place in Japantown will be - https://www.sfgate.com/food/article/05-2021-san-francisco-restaurant-close-mochi-benky-16160419.php

    Are the hours posted on Yelp accurate? If I come around 7:15am on a Tuesday, will there be dim sum available for purchase?

    I got there at 6:45 am and they opened at 7 am and had dim sum and then some ready to go.

    Do you accept atm debit card?

    Its not Cash Only. They take credit cards also. So you would need to run the debit card as a CC.

    They are always open. They were closed only on LNY day.

    Are they open on Christmas 🎄 day?

    Does the store accept EBT (food) for frozen items?

    No, they do not

    Is there a good selection weekday mornings, like 9:00am?

    11-2pm

    Is any food here gluten-free?

    Yes. The steamed bbq pork and steamed chicken buns. Also the shrimp dumplings and the chive dumplings. All are made with rice flour.

    Do any of the dishes contain peanuts or nuts? I'm very allergic. More specifically the lo mai gai.

    Yes, some of the dumplings contain nuts.

    Which items are vegetarian or atleast non pork!?

    I don't have a full list, but some items should be pineapple buns, scallion cakes, sesame balls, rice cakes, and any other sweet bun

    We have family coming into town and would love to try your restaurant on a Sunday. Would it be possible to get a table for 9 or is it just to go food?

    If you ask them 我想要一张九个人的桌子 (Wǒ xiǎng yào yī zhāng jiǔ gèrén de zhuōzi) they will be able to seat nine people in back

The chow fun I had really high hopes for. My memories as a child having had chow fun all the time, had this distinct taste to it and made a certain way. Their chow fun was good, but I think it was lacking a little flavor? I also wish they used the wider noodles instead of these thinner ones. :( It wasn't bad at all, I just had a certain expectation. So far, there's only one place that is reminiscent of what I remember and it's in Sacramento. That being said, we will still come back because I would love to try the Simon's garlic chicken and more of the pancakes!

It was cooked excellently and the skin was really crispy. The five spice powder on the side really brought out the flavor of the meat. The eggplant was cooked well and portion was good but it didn't stand out as much as the other dishes. Overall, I would visit this place again. It definitely lives up to the hype. The squab and and clay pot rice were the stand outs to me but all the other food was really tasty as well.

Portions are pretty big and prices are surprisingly good! -House pan fried noodle (4.5/5): Delicious and crispy noodles with not an overwhelming amount of sauce, savory and came with lots of chicken and shrimp, did get kinda salty at the end -Chicken and salted fish fried rice (4/5): moist, flavorful, and not overly salty. Lots of chicken with a little salted fish, could've used more wok hei taste -Salt and pepper rock cod fillet (4/5): thick and moist pieces with a slight crisp, nicely seasoned and flavorful though a bit salty -Beef stew clay pot with bean curd & mushroom (3.5/5): beef was tender and moist, saucy but kinda plain so needed more flavor

    Stopped by Yongzi Ji for an early Saturday breakfast right when they open at 11:30 am. The place…read morewas still quiet, so we were seated immediately. We ordered : - Braised beef wonton noodle soup : noodles had that perfect springy bite, the broth was light , well seasoned & comforting. The braised beef was melt in your mouth tender, and the wontons were fresh, plump, and juicy. Everything was on point. - Fish porridge : I appreciate that the congee is not too soupy/ watered down. It was hearty and fish was delicately cooked just right, not dry or rubbery like some places. - Curry fish balls with pork rind : Good side dish, nicely seasoned with a spicy kick which we loved. Parking was relatively easy, there's metered spots across the street. Service was fast & efficient, the aunty who served us was super friendly and on top of everything. The interior is clean and comfy with a chill, welcoming vibe. Definitely planning to return, especially for another bowl of that beef noodle soup!

    Came here with my boyfriend and it was a great chill date spot!…read more Good: - The value of the family dinner is insane - we got the Hong Kong style and it came with like 5 different dishes - I liked the eggroll, very crispy and came with a super tasty sauce - The fried rice was really good - We ended up with so much food we had another meal to bring home - and for less than $20 each! - Service was incredibly fast and also they were very nice Bad: - It's a bit hectic inside since it gets busy! Overall, it was such a good deal and the staff were really efficient and nice and would come back!

    Excellent dim sum spot!! Yes, it's definitely pricey, but everything from the food to the service…read moreand ambiance was fantastic. We ordered 8 items and everything was top quality, but my favorites were: - Ribeye XO "Dan Dan" mein with sesame sauce - Berkshire pork Shanghai soup dumplings (XLB) - Crispy shrimp & meat tofu skin roll It's a small restaurant and was super busy when we went around 11:40am on a Sunday, but luckily we were seated immediately when we walked in. Service was very friendly and efficient. Our server also helped refill our teapot with hot water when we finished the first pot. I really enjoyed the meal here and will definitely be back to try the dinner menu next time!

    I was able to get a walk-in table for dinner on a Sunday evening. The restaurant is pretty small,…read moreand the service was great. I will say, the restaurant felt a bit... drab. There was no music playing and it felt like everyone was whispering at their tables because it felt weird to talk at a normal volume. The interior design also does not match the quality/price of the food - I really think this place could use a redesign and new paint job... Anyway, the food overall was good, but definitely on the pricey side. We got two items off the seasonal menu - a spicy shrimp wonton starter, and the country fried rice. The wontons were good, but not spicy, and the fried rice was really good. It definitely could have used some chili oil on top, but was still good as it was served. The food also came out pretty quickly and was a great temperature. We also got the spicy string beans. They were alright, but not much better than any other dim sum restaurant's. Our total after tax & tip was about $100 for two people, with just two starters, one main dish, and a single beer. This definitely feels high for the quality/quantity of the food, but the great service helps makes up for this. I would say if this place got a redesign and lowered the prices a bit, it would be booked up every day.
