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

- Rose ..San Francisco, CAAug 11, 2024
I've been eating their baked goods ever since I was younger and it's great to see them thrive while maintaining the quality. They even have a digital Chinese/English menu now!
I haven't tried everything on the menu, but these are my faves:
+Pan Fried Scallion Cake : $2.00/1 pc
+Pork Cookie: $10.00/lb (you can also buy 1/2 lb for $5.00)
+Vegetable & Pork Bun: $3.80/3 pcs (they used to have a discount for cold ones, but they no longer do that anymore)
The lines are so long now but so worth it!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 18, 2024
Decent option for quick, to-go dim sum with similar prices.
Had baked bbq pork buns, siu mai, and zongzi and everything was just average.
The zongzi was bigger than what is normally served but it was peanut, chicken, and egg yolk filled with a lot of rice for $4.50.
Cash only.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sunny S.San Francisco, CAAug 16, 2024
*There was a small line when I arrived on Friday 11:30AM. It goes pretty quickly.
*I appreciate the digital menu with clear prices.
*CASH only
*shrimp dumpling, chives dumpling, spring rolls: comes in 3 pcs per order/ $3.80 per order
*egg tart: 1.90 each
* I did not see any sitting area
*I appreciated the lady providing me forks and napkins in bag without me having to ask.
* The shrimp and chive Dumplings were large and flavorful but I didn't like the texture of dumpling skin. It was dull and not quite bouncy.
*I enjoyed spring roll.
* Egg tart had Flaky crust outside with perfect soft egg middles
* I wanted to order steamed bbq bun but they were out of it.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 12, 2024
Long line for a reason but they get you in and out! Great spot for smaller orders of dim sum (large orders welcome too) to go. I believe cash only but it's been a while since visiting. Fair location for walking but as expected, parking can suck. No seating at all so very much a window shop.
I snagged about 6 orders worth between shrimp dumplings (har gow), siu mai, char siu bao, and an egg tart for $16. Could have ordered less and been full. Bring dim sum to a park or back home and enjoy!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 28, 2024
Delicious dim sum and bakeries at an affordable price. Service is fast and friendly. There was a line into the street, but it's worth it!

I finally stopped in after walking past and seeing long lines - and the wait was worth it. I tried their shrimp dumpling and egg tart. The shrimp dumplings were taken fresh off the steamer, and they were big, meaty, and flavorful - no sauce or soy sauce needed! The dumpling wrapper was nicely chewy and not too thick. The egg tart was also delicious, with a smooth, custard-y filling (not too sweet!) and flaky, slightly salty crust that falls apart in the best way possible.
The prices were reasonable. It was $3.80 for an order of shrimp dumplings (comes with three), and $1.80 for the egg tart. I'll take this over an overpriced latte any day! Jokes aside, the dim sum is fresh, and I have to say the wait is worth it.
Ordering is easy, as there's a big menu behind the counter. Don't expect the friendliest service though; the aunties just want to keep the line moving. Pay in cash to avoid the 3% credit card fee. There's no seating inside or outside Good Mong Kok, and the store can only fit 3-4 customers inside at a time.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jul 20, 2024
We were craving dim sum and decided to stop by this place for some take out. I love that they open early! We went around 8 am and there was already a decent line but it went by pretty quickly.
We ordered our usual favorites which ended up being about 20 dumplings, 3 turnip cakes, 3 pineapple buns and a char siu bun all for $27! Such a good deal! The dumplings don't look that appetizing in the photos or in person but the pieces were huge and all delicious. Definitely one of our better dim sum experiences.Helpful 4Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jun 10, 2024
Everything that Yelp and that really addictive social media app said was true. If you're in SanFran, definitely if you're visiting Chinatown, visiting Good Mong Kok Bakery is a must.
A major part of my solo time traveling is spent on foodie adventures, jazz and museums. So I knew that I had to take some time to visit Chinatown in San Francisco and what a great plan of action. I gave myself 3 hours to spend wandering around and eating. Seems like an extended trip but, mind your biz because I am a hungry girl! I had a list of some awesome spots and even received some recommendations from the sweet bf of my amazing teammate and friend, Yelp CM Katie Rose of South Bay, and Good Mong Kok was at the top of them all so I wasn't missing it.
Once I got to Chinatown, I opted to grab some cash as I didn't want to hold up the line. So glad that I did. Once I hit the ATM, I joined the line growing outside the bakery around 11am. It's a small storefront, standing room only but offering a view into their busy, quick-moving kitchen. After about 15 minutes in line and peeking at the menu, it was finally my time to shine. Let me say: kind customer service wasn't my experience. I felt rushed, the woman seemed annoyed with me despite me knowing/requesting exactly what I ordered and my food was just kinda tossed onto the counter with any concern. Normally, this would turn me off but I was already there and it wasn't like I was sitting for a dine-in experience. Something to note, but it reminded me of the sassy aunties at Jamaican restaurants, lol.
Despite this, my 5-star review is based on the quality and incredible pricing of it all.
The menu is full of some delicious dim sum at prices that are absolutely incredible. Even seeing them irl made me question how the hell they were offering such great prices! And then I saw the portion sizes. How the hell? Lol - you get wayyy more than you pay for here. I seriously wanted to order every single menu item. I ended up ordering shrimp dumplings, steamed bbq pork buns and an egg tart to begin my foodie field trip and paid less than $12. When I say that my order could have fed a family of 4? Wow. The pork buns were HUGE, bigger than the palm of my hand and SO delicious and packed with sweet + savory pork. The dumplings were packed with shrimp and even without a sauce, they were so good. And the egg tart was so flavorful, perfect finale to my order of bites.
I'm so happy that this was recommended to me so many times and that they truly lived up to the Yelp reviews. If I could fly back to Cali just for their food - you better believe that I'd be eating at Good Mong Kok every day!Helpful 15Thanks 4Love this 12Oh no 0 - May 14, 2024
I absolutely love finds like Good Mong Kok. The recommendations from local colleagues led me here but the line out the door at noon on Friday reassured me that it would be a good lunch. It moves quick but I used the line to scour Yelp and plan my order.
Hot tip! If you can, come with a group or at least another friend or two. There is sooooo much to try on the menu so with a few others, you'll be able to basically try a little of everything. I was on my own but still picked out a couple of different things because it was all literally SO cheap.
Okay, everything I tried: Steamed pork bun, shrimp dumplings and shumai and an egg custard. All for like $12. I would recommend it all. Zero complaints.
I snacked as I continued my tour by foot of SF.
If this is your first time, just a couple reminders:
there might be a line but it moves fast.
know what you want when you get to the front of the line.
they do accept cc.
no seats, only a grab and go spot.
enjoy!Helpful 7Thanks 1Love this 12Oh no 0
