New Golden Daisy is one of those classic Chinatown gems that reminds you why San Francisco's Chinese food scene is so special. I came here for some Cantonese comfort food and was blown away by the flavors, portions, and overall value. The fried chicken is the standout for me. It's crispy, juicy, and seasoned perfectly, with that satisfying crunch in every bite. It's easy to see why so many people come here specifically for their chicken. read more

Yummy crispy pork! We were next door waiting for the dim sum place and also wanted some protein to complement our dim sum. We saw that they had crispy pork belly and duck. We decided to get the crispy pork belly, just like 4-6oz. We ate at the park nearby and it was good. Good amount too. read more

The food had No flavor- purchased was $250.00 based on the reviews given; trying to support local. Will NEVER spend another dime with this place - threw away all that food! I didn't even want to subject homeless people to that food. read more

New. Golden. Daisy. All auspicious words to welcome a golden beginning--Happy New Year! While New Golden Daisy is known for chicken drummettes, their other BBQ items are just as outstanding. The BBQ pork for example is slightly sweet, savory, salty, and smoky. The roasted duck is flavorful, crispy skin with succulent duck meat. And the roasted pork (Siu Yok) is great too with crackly crispy skin. An awesome Chinese BBQ spot in Chinatown. Service efficient and ambiance is that of a takeout place. Love that I can do takeouts and via a few popular delivery apps. Located on Stockton between Jackson and Washington. read more

​I dropped by on Super Bowl Sunday to get some wings, since I haven't had New Golden Daisy in a long time. If you are not familiar with this place, it's a Chinese-style deli selling all sorts of dishes and Chinese barbecue by the pound. ​I arrived around 1:30 PM; there were three people ahead of me, and I waited about five minutes to place my order. I was originally going to get a mix of chicken wings and drumettes, but they brought out a fresh batch of drumettes, so I ordered those instead. I got three pounds at $7.99/lb (I think the wings are around $10/lb) which was pretty reasonably priced. ​It smelled so good I couldn't resist eating one on my way out. The drumette was piping hot, the meat was juicy, and the batter was crispy and chewy--I believe it's rice flour--and loaded with flavor. For Super Bowl Sunday, you are better off skipping all the over-hyped wing spots and supporting these Chinese delis that are always reliable. read more

Delicious chicken drumsticks from the street fair! That is all. Look forward to coming here to try other things.

My favorite Fried Chicken Drummettes. They make them in batches and it is always super fresh. I do not remember getting it from them cold. No one does it better than them. I always tend to get 6-10 drums depending how much want I want to eat that day. Ladies are nice. I also like their chow mein. Get a small box for $3 dollars. And my mom loves their cha sui. read more

We arrived at 5:50 pm. Almost no items available for purchase. Not inviting at all. Very unclean "looking." Take out only. No seating. No English speakers. read more

They are the only place that makes the chicken drummettes. Still good. I also bought 2 pounds of bbq pork and I asked the clerk for one that isn't fatty. She actually went into the kitchen and got a new slab for me! BBQ pork was good the ends were a tad salty. A plus they take credit cards if you buy a lot! read more

They accept cards now. I pulled out cash just in case because I knew I wanted to get BBQ pork, dim sum, and a moon cake in Chinatown. This place is next to Good Mong Kok Bakery and surprisingly had no lines at the time. I opted for a some fat on the BBQ pork and a medium container of chow mein (wide noodles). It was $19. So incredibly inexpensive! I used the BBQ pork to pray Saturday afternoon and enjoyed some of it yesterday with white rice and soy sauce. The chow mein we ate it Saturday for dinner. It was the simplest yet comforting meal. read more

Very good chicken feet. They sell it by the pound so you can tell them exactly how many pieces you want to eat. I ordered it both days I came and I snacked on it all over San Francisco. I really recommend trying it if it is something you are into. read more

Went by last Friday to pick up some chicken wings for the office as me and a few coworkers wanted to test out the Hot Ones season 25 hot sauce set. We got a tray of wings for $40. Still as good and priced well as I remember them! read more

despite the long lines always forming outside of good mong kok, the real place that deserves all the attention is new golden daisy. the fried chicken drumettes are to die for. i've been eating them ever since i was a kid and my grandma would walk to chinatown to get them for us. the batter is crispy, sweet, and salty. the chicken is juicy, yet not oily. it's somehow always hot and fresh when we get it. there's always some bits of batter that get fried (we call this bonus), and those are the nicest little surprises. absolutely love this place! read more

I had the best meal ever when I had food delivered to me from the restaurant. The duck with steamed cabbage and steamed rice was finger licking good. I highly recommend this place if you are ever in San Francisco! I may order food from here again sometime. The service was nice and the ambiance of the place was amazing from what I've read in other reviews. I give them 5 stars ! read more

Best. Fried. Chicken. In. China. Town. Hands. Down. Anytime I visit China town I have to leave with 2lbs of fried chicken from New Golden Daisy and a 1/2lb of BBQ Pork. I love how authentic the food tastes, with a genuine taste of the chicken with no sauces, or rubs, just good ol' fried chicken! The BBQ Pork is finger licking good and smacks so hard! Our boxes can never make it fully to the car without myself or fiancé taking a taste, we latterly stand 5' from the front door and have a taste of a wing or two before we keep going. I will always keep coming back if they keep up the quality of fried chicken! Cheers! read more

Got the roast pork and barbecue pork over rice! For $10, this is a great deal. Next time I'm gonna try the roast duck over rice. If you're on a budget, this is the place to get lunch or dinner to go! read more

you really can't beat $10 worth of chinese food that includes a hot bed of rice, crispy roast pork, and a side of veggies. i saw them pick the meat and chop it right in front of my eyes and it was glorious to see them plate it on to my to-go box. the skin on the pork was perfect, the crack and crunch you really want. the rice was... rice LOL and the veggies had a good yummy neutral taste to it. it's such a good price for the amount you get. i would love to try their other meat dishes as well. they can service you in english if you're not fluent in mandarin like myself. the place is the typical buffet display. they take cash and card. always tip local businesses and support! read more

I have been here many times and this time I went the lady scammed me. The food is good but I do not appreciate being scammed because I do not speak good Cantonese. She noticed that and took advantage of the situation. I got a pork belly, the sign says $14.99 and I got a pound of chashu which should of been $20 (see their menu). I didn't notice this until after but she intentionally added on $4-$5 each per line item. Doesnt matter if food is good. This place has no integrity and scams people, their customers, in broad daylight. Do not come here ever if you want to support an honest business. read more

You just have to try their chicken feet! They're so moist! I'll definitely come back for more. The store is not busy compared to the Good Mong Kok next door - so they don't like us standing at their window while waiting for Good Mong Kok... but honestly, that's their failure. By waiting in line and staring at the window, I got so much cravings for their food. If you love fried foods, go here and get some. Like all the bakery nearby, there is no seating so if you want to eat those food right away, make sure to bring your own napkins/utensils and stand around to eat! read more

You gotta be kidding me. This is what people are raving about?? $7.99/lb fried chicken wings -- Safeway wings taste better than these! There is no flavor to these whatsoever, not even salted! It's slightly better if you get them fresh from the fryer and slightly better if you air fry a little at home but once they cool down for more than 15 minutes, you can the true flavor of these wings -- which is basically low grade factory stuffed chicken that's probably near expiration, fried in rancid reused oil -- barf, this horrible. Whoever is eating this never had decent wings. The service is also mediocre at best and it's not because of the language and culture because I spoke Cantonese to the lady and she could care less if I was a repeat customer or not. On top of that, they take payment in cash only. The store is tiny and I seriously question their sanitation. Absolutely would not be returning. read more

Hidden gem for party trays. We have been ordering here since my childhood birthday parties. The chicken drumettes never disappoint. For our most recent order, we got 40 pounds of chicken drumettes, 30-40 pounds of roasted pig, and trays of shrimp, green beans, and fried rice. Everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. Everyone at the party raved about the roasted pig! read more

Umm, don't hate me but I did not like the spot much. I have bought the fried chicken and some chowmein twice and eaten it pretty quickly white it was hot. It was okay and I found the customer service to not be too cooperative. read more

Sadly, this place has disappointed us consistently the last several times. Make sure to watch out for the charge of food. Almost every time, I've been charged $1 more than what I should be and you need to catch them before paying. Last time, chicken wings ($8/lb) were cold and had been sitting out too long. Suggest waiting for fresh wings whenever possible. We also tried the duck for the first time. It definitely tasted old and dry, like it had been sitting out for at least a day or two. It was one of the most disappointing ducks I've had. The only thing that seems to be consistently good is the roast pork but the price is especially high now. Not sure if we will be back anytime soon. read more

Everyone was right. This is some of the best fried chicken I've had. Top 10. I went to Chinatown on my own lil foodie crawl and New Golden Daisy was a *must-try* for me. Frying chicken is a skill. An art form. How do you bread it? What seasonings do you include? Is it crunchy enough? It's very serious friends. But lucky for anyone who visits New Golden Daisy, you better believe that the folks behind the counter know exactly what they're doing. I visited the biz next door first due to the line and it was shocking to me that New Golden Daisy didn't have a line going out their door as well. Once I was ready, I returned (with cash) ready to order. There's no seating, just enough space for guests to line up and peruse the options available. There was rice, noodles, chicken, duck in the window and so much more. None of the guests I saw going in and out before me were speaking English so I was afraid that I was going to embarrass myself when I got up there. A woman came from the back and gave me a big smile and gestured at me to order. I went with a half pound of wings, not knowing if I could/should order by the piece and not wanting to frustrate anyone. I feel like I barely blinked and she had scooped up my wings and tossed them into a cardboard container. Love it! And then she said it was only $5! With about 7 wings in the container, I think it was a good deal. Let me honest. As I was waiting on my lyft back to my hotel (I was tired y'all, pls don't judge me), I just couldn't imagine not trying these wings while they were hot. I would have given anything for a casual dining space, a chair, a lil stool, idk. But I didn't have that. So I ate a piece of the chicken while standing there waiting for my ride. Some people looked, some may have judged, but guess who was enjoying some of the most delicious, freshly-fried chicken in their life? Me. 5-stars. No notes. Wish I had slipped some in my suitcase to go. read more

Grew up eating the delicious garlic chicken drumsticks as a kid. Whenever my mom went to Chinatown to buy groceries (every Sunday), my siblings and I would get these yummy treats. Fast forward 25+ years and New Golden Daisy is still in business and getting more popular. I love coming here to get party trays of the drumettes, a favorite item at every event. Prices went up by $2.5 per pound but still worth it! Hope they never go out of business! Note: cash only read more

New Golden Daisy - Prices of drumette as of Feb 2023 - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

It's a little hole in the wall type of spot that once you walk in, it's straight to the point. Two items for $10 out the door. So I decided to get Chow Fun and Char Siu to go. The portions are very generous, but it comes out in room temperature now I have to go look for a microwave to warm it up. Great service, of course. But not for the faint at heart! Lol. read more

They used to be good about keeping food fresh and at least warm, now things are cold as if it's been sitting in the tray for hours.

Stumbled upon this place to buy some cha siu (bbq pork) to make a rice dish. I tried a piece to see if it was good and had to stop myself from eating all of it so I'd have enough to make the dish. Will come back to try their siu yuk (pork belly) and other items. At least now I know where to find good cha siu! read more

New Golden Daisy is my favorite place in Chinatown for chow mein $5 and fried chicken $8 by the pound. I've been coming here since I was in elementary school. Back then, it used to be like $1 a pound. Even though the prices went up, the quality remains the same. Very delicious. Since this place is pretty busy, the fried chicken gets a lot of turnover and isn't sitting there the entire day. They are nice people. read more

Childhood favorite for chicken wings, chow mein, and all the delicious Chinese deli takeouts in Chinatown. Can easily feed a family for $20 here.

Read Cheryl M's review and she knows fried chicken. I've poked my head inside a few times and this morning, the wings were ready! Yes, have them hot! Nice and savory with a good crunch. Also picked up some Char sui, 1/2 fat- 1/2 lean to add with ramen tonight. Definitely going to be a regular stop for me. read more

Read a lot of great reviews about their chicken so we had to try it. Didn't realize this place is right next door to our usual spot when we visit SF - Good Mong Kok. We ordered a box of the fried chicken drumettes. It's about 10 drumettes for $8. We all tried it and it was an instant hit! The whole family asked for 2nds after the first bite. The fried chicken has a slight sweetness to the coating. Not bad. We will definitely order this again! read more

In Chinatown this is the only spot for chinese fried chicken legs is what grandma says. It's amazing to see people line up next door to be just only within reach of another treasure yet to be discovered. There are two of these stores Daisys on the same block with similiar names. For some reason I always end up entering into the wrong store and then end up in the correct one after realizing the layout. It's all good . Best way to remember this store is that it's right next to the dim sum store.The party trays catering for the chicken wings are def popular here. They sell Togo boxes at $5 per lb. perfect spot for a lunch. This is a one stop shop for catering. This place taught me what black meat chicken was before I even knew what to call it. The chicken is unique to its style. Has a nice fried exterior , the batter is just nostalgic, although it's missing the green onion it still has the same taste. A crunchy subtle sweet exterior read more

Pro tip: Try the chicken wings Highlights: The chicken wings had really good flavor and a good crunch. I'd try eating these as hot as possible for optimal deliciousness. Lowlights: It's a small shop and hard to find parking. I wasn't super blown away by the roasted turkey, but it's still better than the regular American Thanksgiving turkey. read more

Cash only! The ladies behind the counter don't speak very good English and can come off as rude but they are really nice and sweet. I was waiting on line next door, glanced over and the piled high noodles and roasted meats in the window immediately grabbed my attention. The meats were juicy looking and not dry. Didn't look like a ton of food coloring was used either. The roast pig looked crispy. I could not be helped but drawn in. I waited my turn and ordered. I like my honey BBQ meat half fatty and half lean. The lady took her time to pick out just the right one for me. For the roast pork, she trimmed the fatty pieces which was really nice of her. As I glanced in the back, I saw the master chef roasting another pig and I knew this place would be amazing. Not many places have that large of a back and roast whole pigs like they do. I was running errands and did not get to enjoy the meat until about 4-5 hours after purchase. Everything was still delicious. The roast pork surprisingly still had some areas of crunchy skin. With a few minutes in the air frier, the meat will be epic once again. read more
