    Shrimp rice roll and potsticker
    Faraz F.

    This is a great low-key spot when you're in the mood for solid, straightforward dim sum. No frills, just good food done right. The shrimp rice roll was a favorite--soft and silky with plump shrimp and just the right amount of sauce. The sticky rice was comforting and flavorful, filling without being heavy. The shrimp siu mai were also really good: juicy, fresh-tasting, and not mushy. Overall, it's a reliable neighborhood spot that hits the classics. Easy place to grab dim sum when you want something quick, satisfying, and consistently good.

    Sometimes you need a domain fix. This is a hole in the wall place that has some decent domain for quick grab and go. No frills. In and out and go. As with everything the prices keep going up, but what can you do. Tastes good and fills the crave!

    Love this place for cheap and good quality dimsum!! They are cash only! But many atms nearby. I got the steamed rice rolls, bbq pork bun, shu mai, lotus leaf sticky rice and taro cake. Everything is so delicious and the ladies are so welcoming and sweet. Definitely recommend this place if you're craving dim sum. We got everything for $21.

    Just a neighborhood takeaway dim sum spot. Dishes: $13.20 total -3 pc shrimp and chives: best of the 3 -3 pc hargow: the flavor is excellent but the wrapper is a bit too think and hard like it got cold. Would actually skip -3pc beef rice noodle roll: portion is mostly think noodle and less beef, would skip Logistics: -cash only -takeout only -limited street parking (paid and unpaid)

    A mixed bag. They've got the dim sum basics covered. Har gow, siu mai, bbq buns, etc. They're hit and misses tho. The dumplings aren't bad. The items with steamed dough, like the steamed BBQ pork buns are pretty dry, and the filling is minimal. I'd stick with the dumplings, like the shark fin dumplings. Obviously, they aren't actually filled with shark fin, but with vermicelli noodles instead, but I think they're pretty good. Har gow skins are on the thicker side. Setting is pretty much like your typical Chinatown-like dim sum take out spot. I noticed that another reviewer mentioned that there was some shenanigans going on with what they charge, or rather the change they give back. I also experienced something similar. Looks like they're playing kind of loose with their pricing. So stay alert and be insistent.

    Shumai & Hargow - 4.5/5. Cheap. Shumai was better than the hargow!
    Izzie L.

    CASH ONLY! Super cheap, fast, delicious dim sum. In particular the Shrimp Dumpling (Har Gow) and Shumai were my favorites-- really cheap, authentic, and classic. The line is chaotic and was a bit long on a Saturday morning and took maybe 15 minutes to get our food.

    For no-frills, cash-only, wait in line, early morning dim-sum pick up, Mongkok is good value for money. I ordered 2 beef siomai, 2 pork siomai, 3 hakaw or shrimp dumplings, 1 shrimp rice roll (all with 3 pcs each), 4 mini pork buns, and a container of 8 almond cookies for $32. Menu prices are posted on the board and the fun in ordering here is seeing the goods on display and pointing to what you like. The pork buns are warm and soft, with more bread than filling, but the dumplings are big and tasty.The almond cookies are the chewy kind not the crunchy kind, which I liked. Reminds me of Hong Kong style counter dim sum places, where you are paying for the food and no ambiance. Additional drama came when a customer used their employee-only restroom without permission and my order taker pounded on the door, demanding him to come out. Breakfast and a show! With such a busy area, parking on weekends can be a hassle though.

    I'm a bit confused about the low ratings of Mongkok Dim Sum. There are a few Dim Sum takeout spots on this street, and while this place does not seem to have the lines of the other ones, the food here was still really good. We tried a bunch of different dim sum favorites, and everything was really good. Because the line was short, we were in and out very quickly, and prices were really inexpensive. All in all, this was a fun place to look around and try some different takeout dim sum options!

    Cheap neighborhood dim sum with no customer service frills. Cash only. Speaking chinese is a big benefit here.

    Mong Kok seems to have upped their game from the past few times we've been. They now have clearer pricing on new screens. Many kinds of dim sum pricing is 4 for $4.60. Their xia jiao (har gow) used to be hit or miss - one time we purchased it, the filling had a lot of pork lard vs shrimp and you never used to know what you'd get - some visits exceptional, some visits terrible. This last time, every item we got seemed consistently above decent. The xia jiao, Lo Bo gao and you tiao were good. Bbq pork buns - filling seemed generous and tasty, not too salty and not bright red with food coloring which I appreciate. Ladies were fine - brisk and professional. They're not there to be your best friend but also not rude.

    Haven't been here in a few years. They have a clear menu board. Prices seem ok compared to Chinatown. Got 3 orders of haw gow. Tastes fine. Sucks the line is out the door and only one lady working. The parking sucks even more!!

    This place is one of the best takeout dim sum spots in the Sunset District. I ordered the chive dumplings, har gao, shiu mai, and turnip cake, and I absolutely loved every item! The total cost for all four items was only $23! 1. The chive dumplings were packed with fresh chives, shrimp, and seasonings. They were delightful! 2. The Har Gao had delicate skin that was tender and elastic, and the shrimp filling was plump, moist, and perfectly seasoned. 3. The Shiu Mai featured a thin, light wrapper that was firm and slightly chewy, with a well-seasoned mixture of ground pork and shrimp. 4. The turnip cake had a crisp, golden-brown exterior and a delicious blend of Chinese sausage, dried shrimp, and scallions. It was very well-seasoned and moist. This place is a true hidden gem, although it might not be a secret anymore with the long line! I noticed that the staff was more accommodating if you could speak Cantonese, which is common in dim sum shops. My only complaint is that they don't offer the go-to Chinese vinegar and chile oil sauce packet. The service here is decent, but it's primarily a grab-and-go spot. Make sure to bring enough cash, although they do accept cards.

    Pork Shu Mai - you get 3 pieces per order.

    Previously known for just average quality Dim Sum, Mongkok has been stepping up their game with new and higher quality offerings, late especially since new competition appeared nearby that seems to get all the attention. Step up inside and order up from the ladies behind the counter. Totally casual and to the point once inside! My favorites here include the following: pork Shu Mai and the deep fried shrimp and chive dumplings. The quality and quantity of the fillings is much better than before. If you haven't been by here before, or have in the past, this place is definitely worth a visit if you are nearby!

    NOT the current price! FYI- everything went up 10% as of 5/7/2025 and was posted on a pink piece of paper.

The event going off without a hitch was really important, especially because the bride had lost her mom and didn't have her to celebrate this special milestone. I wanted to make sure the order was on time and there were no issues with delivery. I ended up canceling my original order because DoorDash wasn't going to confirm a dasher until the day of the delivery. I re-ordered through DoorDash but this time as a pick up. Again, DoorDash's service was leaving me unsure because they weren't going to send the order through until the pick up day. This was $500 worth of dim sum and I didn't want to take a chance the restaurant didn't receive the order or that they couldn't fulfill it in time. So, I canceled that order as well. I called the restaurant directly. They took my order without hesitation and made me feel at ease that everything will be ready on time. I called again in the morning to confirm my order before leaving for pick up. I couldn't get a hold of anyone, most likely they were busy with their Sunday rush, but they called me back even without me leaving a message! When I arrived my order was ready, The food was hot, packaged so nicely, and everything was clearly prepared with care. I was helped by a very nice staff member who made us feel like we were longtime customers. My daughter and her friends absolutely loved the food! Thank you so much, Dumpling House.

Haven't been in person yet so I am speaking solely off of takeout options. So after getting their food about 4828732 times I think its pretty long overdue I drop the deets on this little gem. This is our "official" dim sum option for weeknight take out. Personal favorites for me are always going to be the salt/pepper wings, the steamed pork buns, the crystal shrimp dumplings, and the scallion pancakes. My wife loves the soup dumplings, the shu mai. We could eat those dishes every week until we die pretty much, they are reliably good and comforting. Particular shout out on the pork buns though because they are just the absolute best consistency from a filling/bun standpoint. Soft, pillowy, they are glorious. I used to get pork buns from Good Mong Kok Bakery, but tbh, this is about 10x better. The soup dumpling also are quite good, I like the spicy ones but the black truffle is defintely worth it for the occasional splurge. They give you the red vinegar for it too which not all places do. Everything one needs to enjoy. I haven't been in person so I couldn't speak for the service or the location, but if you want a spot that delivers on time and often includes items for free (the pork buns are now free for orders over $50), this is great value and just great food. Chefs kiss.

Naturally, I thought the same would be for this location, ordering for delivery. Sadly, I was proved very very wrong. I got a total of 3 items and paid a little over $50 not including tip.First plate, stir fry noodle Shanghai style 0/5. Noodles were stiff, entire plate lacked flavor, it was really dry. The cabbage was just sort of thrown in there and to my surprise, there was chicken (I didn't think it came with meat) and it was so suspicious, one bite and I immediately had to spit it out. It was chewy and tasted uncooked. I began to lose my appetite... Sesame Chicken 0/5 - it was all batter, little to NO meat inside whatsoever. Saucy but it was very clumpy. I was so disappointed with this one. It was literally just eating fried batter in sesame sauce with sesame seeds thrown on top. Braised String Beans - 2.5/5. They were fine, flavored enough with the grilled onions and garlic other than that, not impressive at all. I had really high hopes for this place/order. I had been craving Chinese food for so long and was going to order from my typical place but decided to give this one a try. I definitely should have stuck to what I know would have hit the spot.

Good Mong Kok Bakery gets its name from the well known district out in Hong Kong where classic dim sum originated. Sharing this moniker, there's certainly an expectation but this bakery does a great job representing this amazing culinary culture. At the heart of the city, you won't find much parking as the spots are frequently occupied by locals or loading trucks so your best bet is to commute here on foot or by way of public transportation or taxi service. But once you do arrive, be prepared to stand in line for a good 10-15 minutes. Service is quick so you won't be waiting long but it'll feel that way as you salivate at the sight of such delicious looking snacks. We came on a weekday and it was still pretty busy. The line made up of locals and tourists alike was filled with excitement as each group inched closer to the storefront. While you wait, consider checking their menu or look through the window. We got a few items to try but you won't go wrong with any of your dimsum choices. BBQ Pork Bun - can't go wrong with a good BBQ pork bun, especially one that is packed with good chunks of meat in it. Siu Mai - meaty pork bites packed with flavor. Best eaten hot as the taste just steams out into your mouth as you chomp into them. Shrimp Dumplings - chunky bits of shrimp wrapped in a thin rice noodle casing. Comes out hot and fresh, retains heat well, and maintains structure after each bite. Egg Tarts - the buttery and flakey star of our visit has the perfect balance of crisp from its exterior and softness from its inner custard. Could easily eat half a dozen of these! The service as you may expect is quick, efficient, and minimal in hospitality. But of course, you came here for the food - service isn't too important here. Overall, Good Mong Kok Bakery will have you satiated with its extensive dimsum offerings. For those looking for some classic dimsum staples to go, this is your one stop shop to get them all at a reasonable price, excellent quality, and fairly quickly. Naturally there are competitors all over town and they each have their advantages but for a tried and true (and if time is limited for you), consider stopping by here first.

The baked bbq pork buns are sweet with a decent amount of filling. The deep fried dumpling is plump, juicy, and crunchy. The shrimp and chive dumplings are my favorite.

The spare ribs had a really nice savory flavor from the sauce. The egg tarts were okay. I need to note that these bags are leftovers from the day, so they're not as fresh.

And it's a small space, with maybe 2 tables. So this place is probably best for to-go orders. Their 2g2g bags have more variety than their Chinatown location. Not sure how many dim sum options there are in the Mission, but I would go here if I was in the area and craving a shrimp and chive dumpling.
