One of my dim sum stops whenever I am up in the city. Parking can be a pain, but I am ok with that. Cha shu baos, shu mai...delicious!

Very good dim sum. Open 7 days a week. Always busy. Great har gow,, chicken sui mi, and baked pork buns. Everything is good. Nit much if any msg. Parking difficult. read more

Amazing prices for very, very good food. Best deals in Outer Sunset. Authentic Chinese Food for sure.

My buddy first introduced me to this quick takeout dim sum place a few years ago and I was fortunate to be reintroduced on the eve of my sister's wedding day. We ordered several dishes and dumplings to try, but the house specialty was my favorite. A fried potsticker of sorts, the dumpling had great authentic Chinese flavors that I've come to desperately miss while living in San Diego. Being the first real meal on my return was a great way to start the day and the trip. When you're in a hurry or just don't want the hassle of enjoying dim sum in a large ballroom, Mongkok is a great, affordable alternative. If I lived in the area, I would definitely come several times a week to get my fix. Food: 7/10 Service: 4/10 Price: $ Atmosphere: 4/10 read more

The other take out dim sum place was closed so I thought I'd give this place another try. Well I tried, walked into a empty store and the two ladies were looking at the landline phone, like there was a problem with it. I'm standing there for two minutes, no acknowledgement, nothing. Walked out. I tried. read more

A hole in the wall type of shop, but those are always the best. The service was very welcoming as well! Cash only!!! read more

I come here when I need a quick dim sum fix. Their food is good but not great, like I wouldn't crave their pot stickers or shrimp dumplings. They open at 7am if you have to rush off to work and need some breakfast to go. The staff are friendly and will try to upsell you during closing hours, which I think is hilarious...but it works. read more

We were curious this morning as to why there was a long line outside. We love dim sum so thought we'd check it out. After waiting in line for about 10 mins, we reached the counter to place our order. The lady asked us what we wanted. We ordered 6 baked pork buns, 6 steamed pork buns, potstickers, shrimp dumplings and a few other items. I assumed all the baked/dry items would be packed separately in a box from the moist items. After ordering, she took all our items and placed them next to her calculator behind the counter. She started adding my items up with a small handheld calculator (I thought businesses use cash registers to add things up?) which I thought was strange. She turned around and said "$41". I asked for an itemized receipt so that I knew what I was charged for, since I found it odd that it was exactly "$41". She gave me a print out from the register that was not itemized for exactly $41. Whatever. When we got back home and opened our bag, we were disappointed that she mixed our pork buns up with shrimp dumplings and stuffed the baked and steamed buns all together that it destroyed its shape. She mixed the wet and dry foods, making our pork buns soggy. She even got our order wrong. We will not be returning. Save your time, don't wait in line and go somewhere else. This place is poorly run and the food quality was terrible. read more

In terms of dim sum to-go, this is a very decent place! Everything is fresh and steamy, and the staff ladies are efficient. I especially like their siu mai with shrimp and pan fried buns. There are 3 buns in each order, which can definitely fill you up. The skin is slightly seared and the bun is filled with meat and veggies. This is definitely a good deal! During busy hours there's always a long line out the door, but it moves fast so I don't mind waiting. Sometimes the ladies are so nice and would offer me another type of dim sum or dessert at a discounted price. Will definitely come back here for more dim sum! A very friendly and down to earth dim sum take out place ! read more

We use to come to this place all the time. It was our go-to place for all our dim sum needs. But lately service has been bad and the ladies behind the counter have been increasingly rude. Our last experience was the last straw. We went in to get a very simple dish. It was right there looking up at us waiting to be bought. The lady in front bought $6.50 worth of food. She gave $6.50 exactly. There was no one behind us, we were the next party. But instead of putting the exact change away, the lady decided to count out her money drawer. Seriously... you got the exactly change. It's not that difficult to count out. Plus, it's the middle of the day... you shouldn't be counting out your drawer when there are customers waiting. Suppose being there was no one behind us, she could take her time. I was getting annoyed. Finally she paid attention. Got out order and proceeded with payment. She gave the wrong change. So we called her out. She corrected her mistake by throwing the change at us. Come on!! YOU gave the wrong change. YOU ignored us when we were ready to order. YOU then, instead of politely giving us the correct change, threw it at us. We don't need this kind of service. If you are having a bad day, STAY HOME! It's people like this that give Asians a bad name in customer service. Never coming back here again. There are other places that have way better manners and good dim sum choices. It says a lot when majority of the reviews says the ladies are RUDE!! Probably an understatement at this point. read more

I've been craving take-out dim sum recently. I stopped by Mongkok for some har gow, spareribs in black bean sauce over rice, and congee. The total was $7.90 and I had enough food for two meals. They're generous, and the dumplings are larger than average, so even though the prices seem average, it's actually a good deal. Dumplings are 3 for $1.60. * Har gow - Decent, a little salty. They use big shrimp. * Congee - They only have one kind and one size (huge). It's pork with preserved egg. There isn't much egg or pork. Bland. They don't add scallions. You can buy a fried donut though. Good Luck Dim Sum still has the best congee for a dim sum take out place in SF. * Pork spareribs over rice - I thought that the sparerib flavor and juice would have seeped into the long grain rice but that didn't happen. The rice was mushy and oversteamed. They added boiled cabbage and drizzled the rice with soy sauce. The ribs were good, a little fatty but that's to be expected. Overall, it was just okay. The menu is in Chinese, so you either have to point to what you want or know what it's called. They have a massive inventory of items - dumplings, lots of man tou (steamed buns), rice noodles with different fillings, Chinese tamales, egg rolls, sesame balls, baked sausage buns, grass jelly, turnip (or it could be taro) cake, egg custard tarts (including a white kind), chicken feet, sticky rice wrapped in a lotus leaf and more. Things look greasy. The woman who helped me does speak English but I'm not sure how well she speaks it. You can eat it there if you want. I've had the same items at Good Luck Dim Sum and GLDM is definitely better. Cash only. read more

(See pics) More like 3.5 stars. Well their gigantic size dim sum was delicious and probably better if you steam them up at home. These are not the light wraps. The rice rolls were also quite good. Love the giant bay leafed sticky rice, especially in a cooler evening. Price was quite inexpensive (usually $1.60 for 3 pieces.) Service was fast and super nice. A good local takeout joint when you are in the neighbourhood. read more

This was our first time here, and we enjoyed the food. We ordered har gao (shrimp dumplings), pork shu mai (steamed pork dumplings), char siu so (bbq pork pastry puff), and char siu bao (steamed pork bun). They were delicious and the price was decent. We will definitely come back again. read more

Take out business mostly. Good number of assorted dumplings as well as baked goods. If they don't have what you want out in front, they'll holler in to the microphone what's desired. read more

I agree with L. W.'s review from 7/20/19. If you go to this place, pay close to the bill to avoid getting ripped off. If you cannot read Chinese to see how much everything costs, you could easily get cheated. I don't know if the woman I dealt with was the owner or not. I ordered five items and was told the total was $33.40. I thought it was high, and asked what the total was again. She repeated the amount and showed me the calculator with the total. I gave her one $20 bill, two $5 dollar bills and four $1 bills. She counted the bills and I told her to keep the $.60 change. I left, but returned 10 minutes later because I could not believe the bill could be that high. I went back to the woman I spoke to earlier and told her I thought I was charged too much. I told her my order and she said that should be $17. I said I gave her $34. She insisted that I could not have been charged that much. Then she looked at the cash register receipt and said that there was no record of a $33.40 entry. I insisted in broken Chinese that I gave her $34. She finally gave me back $15. Other customers were in the store and heard all of this. I doubt she would've given me back my money if people weren't in the store. I know now that I should've asked her to total my purchase again before I left the store the first time, but I did not. I would believe that this was an honest mistake if there was an entry of $33.40 in the cash register. Entries from an earlier sale could've been mixed up with my purchase , bringing the total to $33.40. But since there wasn't such an entry, that means she didn't put the entire amount that I gave her in the register. I was going to give her the benefit of the doubt, but since reading that I'm not the first one that this happened to, I think it should be brought to people's attention. I won't be going back again. read more

The dim sum here is amazing, I always have some trouble ordering though wish they had the English available on the menu as well. They literally have some of the best dim sum you can find. Very flavorful and well made. read more

HELLA RUDE SHORT LADY SERVER!!!! Another bad experience from this business early this morning. Just totally ruined my day . Food is not bad. I like their bbq pork steamed buns (the only reason I go to this place).kids like their pork siomai. If this rude lady is the owner, she better stay in the kitchen instead. She doesn't belong in front dealing with their customers or better yet stay home and hire polite helpers. read more

Recently came to Mongkok of 2438 Noriega Street to buy some of my most favorite dim sum items but it has been a while since, I have not been here to buy some of the dim sum items from MongKok... Until last week, I finally had the chance to come back to MongKok Dim Sum.... The dim sum items which, I have bought from Mong Kok were really good and tastly... The dim sum items which, I have bought was a big sized Sticky Rice with beef & pork wrapped in a lotus leaf and two types of Siu Mai's one of the Siu Mai's was a regular and the other siu mai which, I dont see to often at some Dim Sum places that sells this kind of Siu Mai that has shrimp on top of it... Mong Kok had it and I bought it immediately they had alot of other good tasting dim sums... I only went for the kind that I really wanted which was the big sized stickly rice with beef & pork wrapped in a lotus leaf and the two types of Siu Mai's one regular Siu Mai and Shrimp Siu Mai which all that I have bought tasted really goooooood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the one place that I will be back again to buy their Awesome Dim Sum's from MongKok Dim Sum of 2438 Noriega Street in San Francisco's Sunset Area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been going here for awhile and lately they've been overcharging here and there. They've also been serving food thats been sitting there all day. Their Ha Gao has shrunken, their beef Suu Mai is like rubber. Those are the only two I've gotten lately and were very disappointing. read more

Came here before I started going to TC Pastry. This place was a bit higher in price and some of the things I ordered has such a high amounts of sodium and MSG that I would often get very thirsty afterward. Now that TC Pastry is popping up everywhere I might need to come back here. TC Pastry multiple locations have caused a decay of quality in their foods. Turned it into the McDonald's of Dim Sum. read more

I have lived in the neighborhood for more than 20 years and I don't come here that often. Their shrimp and pork dumplings don't taste fresh. But I do come here when I want to have pork porridge and Beef Cheung Fun (Rice Noodle Roll) for breakfast. That is what I got this morning. Here is the disgusting part. In the porridge, I finished 3/4 of it already, something tasted wrong. I spit it out in the sink, it appears to be hair roll up with more disgusting things. It looks just like the dirt ball on the mop after you clean the floor. It feel so disgusting because I chew on it. I immediately brush my teeth but still feel so dirty. I don't understand how could it be mixed into that big pot of porridge. Did they use the mop for the floor to clean the kitchen countertop? After this no matter what I am not going back to this place. read more

My friend brought me some bbq pork buns from this restaurant on dec 24. I've had pork buns from many different places but this was the WORST! I mean there was a drop of pork in those buns! Hardly no filling at all and almost like a purée. No pieces of pork. Just awful! I called right now to tell them and no one speaks English! Beware!! DO NOT PURCHASE from this store. You will not get your money's worth! read more

Never get the lean pork & thousand years egg rice congee. Too watery and it's pork fat, no lean pork. Ladies were rude when I returned after 4 mins & kindly asked to swap the prepacked cold plain steam buns for something fresh/hot.

Favorite dim sum place in SF. I always come here when I visit SF. The food is amazing. We get these beef rice rolls, shao Mai, and sometimes soy milk. Delicious and pretty cheap in my opinion. I will definitely come back! People don't enforce the six feet apart very well though. At least they're wearing masks! read more

So delicious. Favorite shrimp dumplings and egg tarts in the neighborhood. So many different options and everything tastes amazing.

Good social distancing. Two customers inside while others wait outside. This is always my go to place for takeout dim sum. We always get a dozen or two of the baked small pork buns (yummy, ratio of meat to bun is wonderful; we're meat eaters), a dozen of pork sui mai with a shrimp on top, Chinese chive dumpling with shrimp, Chinese donut, egg rolls, etc. It appears I have no will power. My eyes say buy, buy, buy. I buy for two and spend around $60. Just a FYI, we don't eat everything all at once. I freeze some of the pork buns for future treats. All are delicious, but somehow I remember it tasting much better before. Maybe it's just me trying to reduce salt intake. Service has always been friendly. read more

Not that good dim sum. It not worse, definitely not good either. I took chance since other place had long line. I most likely won't come back. read more

Honestly, I just point to things and they load my container and give me a random price. I have no clue what the prices are, and I kinda know what most of the dim sum items are called in my lame pronunciation. That being said, without spending the time to go to a full-service dim sum house, this has been our go-to dim sum takeout for 10+ years now. Just writing this review has me jonesing for some Mongkok. I'll be there in the morning. read more
