    Awesome take out dim sum place with very nice ladies working the front! Good food and fast service. Lines are long sometimes, but they move at a good pace! I recommend the buns and shrimp dumplings. Rice porridge with their fried dough is a nice deal as well. I have been here a few times in the past 2 months and can say this is my go-to take out dim sum when in the area. The inside has some seating, but they keep the place clean and I have gotten lucky each time to find a place to munch the food I order quick.

    My unofficial dim sum tour event on Clement street continues with a deep dive and with some Good Luck . I am going to grab the shark by its fins. Good Luck Dim Sum is a hidden gem in a deep sea of dim sum places on Clement street . It also has one of the best Sharks Fin Dumplings in San Francisco on all sides of the Pacific Ocean. The Sharks Fin Dumpling packs a delicious bite as strong as a shark bite. Also in the waves of flavor were the Shrimp Dumpling which was deliciously soft and moist. Next I was pondering again on which came first the chicken or the egg? Trying to make up my mind. I then decided to get both the Chicken Bun and the Egg Yolk Bun and it was savory and tasty. Another good one to try is their Beef Sui Mai. Get here on time people will start showing up in waves on the weekends and it is best to try to go on a weekday especially when there is an ocean of people going to events like The Clement Street Farmers Market on a Summer Sunday or any event at Golden Gate Park flocked by thousands. When ordering in line you have to take a multiple choice dim sum pop quiz on a piece of paper that has a menu so bring your own pen . It is cash only and remember no chopsticks included. Get the $4.20 menu deal. I highly recommend it. Good Luck and in any event , make sure to take an unofficial dim sum tour of Clement

    Guess it is time for an update...? At least a way to link all my photos, lol. Ever since Ho Pastry (on 6th and Clement) closed, I have been coming here. Quality/Quantity - Hit and miss. Due to their volume they are probably one of the freshest in town. But size and ingredients can be different at times. On great days, I get the freshest and plumpest dim sum. On the worst days, I get the same order but they are in smaller sizes with too many bamboo shoots that are just not digestible. Today the dim sum was on the smaller size. Atmosphere - Now that life is back to "normal" rather than what I mentioned in the previous review, the line is more organized. But then I also try my best to shop during off peak hours. Cut and pasted from their previous post: This is where they struggle the most. Some of the employees just do NOT seem happy pre or post-pandemic. And there is NO order. If you are in the "know," then pre-order and you can skip the line as per the employees. But because most people are NOT in the "know," you get dirty looks and have to explain yourself as you walk to the front of the line (to the back counter). There really should be signage. Service - Quick and simple. Helps that this is one of the few days we strategically did NOT over order as we have a huge event tonight. Ordered what we needed, got utensils, sauces, and then left. It would be nice if they gave us an itemized receipt...? Price - $35, only because we under ordered. Making sure we save our appetite for tonight. See Hong Kong Palace Review in Millbrae. Owner Comment - Itemized receipts would be nice. From previous post: Post signs on where the line should run. Post "Pick Up" signage so we don't get yelled at or stares when we come to pick up our order. Or tell pre-order customers to get in line instead of telling us to come straight to the front...?

    This is one of my favorite place to go for dim sum in the Richmond for many years. I like to go early in the morning to avoid the long lines. Good, fresh, delicious and price friendly dim sum. I always order the congee with fermented eggs and shredded pork. It's a must for hangover in the morning! lol When entering there's paper menus on your right. You can circle the items and handed to the server. Please be nice to the ladies because they work really hard and language barrier is a challenge. I stick with the usual, shrimp dumplings, chicken shu mai, shrimp rice noodle, and chicken feet! Don't bring your credit cards because it's cash only. There are a few tables in the back for dine in, but I like it to go and drive to the beach to enjoy my dim sum with a view of the Pacific Ocean! Upon leaving I like to leave the ladies some gratuity.
