    Stumbled upon this spot on a Sunday morning while heading toward the nearby flea market and was relieved to find a place that made grabbing dim sum so easy. No line, clean space, fair prices, and I was back in my car within two minutes, bag in hand. It was simple to park at that early hour but the street does get pretty chaotic later in the day so the timing worked out perfectly. I went with a couple of my usual go-to items just to gauge the quality like har gow and beef siu mai. Both were solid and held up well for a quick bite. Good size, no surprises, and similar to what you'd expect from a dependable Chinatown takeout spot. Only thing holding it back from being excellent was that everything was cold. Even though they were sitting in the steamers the food didn't come out hot which was a letdown since I started eating them right after leaving. Still for convenience speed and price it's a reliable option when you're nearby and need a fast dim sum fix.

    2025 update. There is a trade off when coming in at 7:30am. Some stuff are not available but you get fresher dim sum. That was the case for me this morning. The turnip cakes were straight out of the steamer. They didn't have the Chinese donuts available to go along with the porridge. They offered to make me a fresh Chinese donut but I didn't want to wait 10 minutes. The baked goods, dim sum and hot food are solid at Dim Sum King.

    Dim Sum King is a go-to spot for authentic Hong Kong-style dim sum. They make their dim sum in-house, and you can really taste the freshness in every dish. The service is friendly and efficient, the portions are generous, and the prices are a great value for what you get. If you're craving classic, well-made dim sum, this place is definitely worth a visit.

    Really liked the lotus leaf and the Dan tat. Lotus leaf was flavorful, with good amount of filling. Dan tat was nice and yolky with a flaky crust, though on the sweeter side. Taro bao was good and different - fluffy bun and good tasting taro paste with chunks inside. Custard bao was fluffy but had very little filling that was a bit overcooked. Prices were good as well.

    Everything a no frills dim sum place should be. The prices are good - the price to quality ratio is excellent. Came here for a quick to go brunch, the beef noodles were excellent and probably the best dish. Steamed pork bun was very tasty and would definitely get again.

    Fried bread sticks - 3.5 stars (not made fresh, they fry frozen ones, but it's not bad). Late morning takeout Saturday 2023-12-22

    Reviewing from when I came here in December 2023 - the place was called Good Orchard/ Fortune Bakery then. A solid dim sum spot! I got a ton of food for a pot luck my friends and I were hosting. THE WAIT Not too busy at 11am on the Friday before Christmas, but there were other customers coming in and out. I caused a bit of a line since I made such a big order. They were out of Portuguese Egg Tarts. THE COST About $63 for 12 dumplings, 9 buns, 8 fried bread stick (chinese donuts/you tiao), 6 egg tarts. Cash only. THE FOOD Fried Bread Stick ($2.50 each) - 3.5 stars (not made fresh, they fry frozen ones, but it's not bad) Egg tart ($1.50 each) - 3.5 stars, decent stuff, but wish they had Portuguese ones. Shrimp Dumpling (3/$3.80) - 4 stars Leek Shrimp Dumpling (3/$3.80) - 4 stars Pineapple Bun ($1.50 each) - 4 stars Mochi Bun ($1.50 each) - 4 stars BBQ Pork Bun ($2 each) - 4 stars, make sure to get the crunchy ones!

    4.5 STARS Dim summing. Remember the days...not too long ago where you roll deep and can build a fortress on your table...stack on stack of bamboo baskets...and pay $25-$30 a head after tip? These days, it's more like $50+ a head for dim sim and nobody be fighting for the bill no more. You'll find me in the bathroom when the bill comes. J/k! Most of us are on budget these days but I find dim sim takeout joints don't hit the same way as a sit down resto. The quality isn't the same esp the wrappers and rice noodles (both are often too thick) but that's the norm because you're paying lower prices. Enter Dim Sum King. Although I only scratched the surface, they may be the most solid dim sum takeout in the south side of the city (Excelsior, Portola, Ingleside area). They took over Good Orchard Bakery (same phone #) and are *not* related to Dim Sum King in Daly City or in Sunnyvale. Open for takeout and limited dine-in. No delivery. M E N U Dim sum, dumplings, buns, noodle rolls, individual pies (chicken pie, bbq pork puff, curry puff), etc. They're still ramping up so limited offerings for now. Although they have a posted menu of congee, rice + noodle dishes, and HK noodle soups, they're not available yet. Prices are higher than other dim sum takeout spots in the area but I find the quality better. CASH ONLY. F O O D * Har Gow: Shrimp Dumplings (3 pc - $3.80) // 4 Stars The wrapper was soft and chewy (pic makes the wrapper looked thicker than it is), and it was generously filled with firm shrimp. Shrimp literally spilled out when I took a bite. * Siu Mai: Pork Dumplings (3 pc - $3.50) // 3.5 stars Standard, meaty pork dumpling. I believe this one doesn't have any shrimp but confirm with staff if you have an allergy. * Shrimp & Leek Dumplings (3 pc - $3.80) // 4 stars Big bois that were packed with fresh shrimp and mildly sweet leeks. * Shrimp & Chive Dumplings (3 pc - $3.80) // 3.5 stars Similar to the har gow but with cilantro and the wrapper was thicker. * Shrimp Cheong Fun ($5.50) // 5 stars Best in show, the noodle rolls were filled with two plump shrimp per roll. The noodle texture was on-point and rivals the ones found at sit-down dim sum restos...glossy, smooth, chewy, and slightly translucent. The accompanying sweet soy was awesome. * Steamed Spare Rib w/ noodle rolls (Small - $5.55) // 4.5 stars Kinda scant on the steamed spare ribs that needed more black bean sauce for oomph. But...the noodle rolls were great - deliciously soft, chewy, and glossy. The picture doesn't do it justice. * Baked Char Siu Bao ($2) // 3 stars Their take on snow mountain bun made famous by Tim Ho Wan in HK that formerly held a Michelin star. Think char siu bao with a sweet, crisp cookie top similar to a bolo bao (pineapple bun). The bao texture was soft and fluffy but the char siu needed more salt to balance the sweetness of the cookie top. Personally, I rather pay more for a more char sui filling. S E R V I C E Cordial. A M B I A N C E Newly renovated, bright and low key with several tables for dine-in. P A R K I N G Challenging street parking. Overall, Dim Sum King is a great addition to the area and IMO, a cut above their competitors. 4.5 stars rounded up for a new local small business. Can't wait until they offer their Slippery Eggs & Shrimp over rice! Iykyk.

    Happy hour $3 each

    Descent food cheap prices cheaper than sunset pinnapple mochi bun was the best only $1.50. Front lady was polite.

    This is the usual dim sum dive that you would find in San Francisco but the quality of dim sum and the prices are solid. Orders are around $3.80 for three pieces and $1.50 for one piece. There are a few small tables, but I would do take out for sure for best enjoyment at home with a pot of jasmine tea. We moved to Daly City from the Outer Sunset five years ago and it took us this long to find a dim sum take out place we like that's close by. This place opened recently so we are stoked. Service can be slow since they only had one person working the counter the two times we went. English OK.

The staff were friendly and super prompt about clearing empty plates and refilling our tea whenever we signaled it was done, which is always great as the dishes just get on coming! We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, and several really stood out. The spicy tendon was fantastic, shredded paper thin and swimming in a classic spicy sauce. The spicy lamb dumplings were another highlight, with an incredibly thin wrapper and a super flavorful and not gamey at all lamb filling. I also loved the stir fried rice cakes, which were sliced thin enough to avoid that overly chewy texture, and the stir fried noodles Shanghai style were classic and simple in the best way, with big chunks of cabbage and meat and just executed really (the chefs clearly have some serious wok skills!). Not everything we ordered was an absolute knockout as the vegetable dishes could use a bit more flavor and seasoning, but everything overall was good, and the portions across the board were very generous. The desserts were a last-minute decision and I am so glad we went for them. The lava custard buns were fluffy and amazing, with a molten salted egg custard inside, and the sesame balls had a satisfyingly crispy exterior that gave way to a perfectly chewy interior and sweet red bean filling. The value here is also excellent. We left absolutely stuffed and spent around $30 per person, which felt like a great deal for how much food we got and how much we enjoyed it. Highly recommend!

Service: It's Chinatown, so if you don't speak the language, no worries--they have a simple English menu with numbered items that makes ordering easy for everyone. It's a cool cultural vibe for sure! We had a massive order (feeding a party of 8), but they were still kind, patient, and efficient. Helpful tip: When lining up, be mindful of neighboring businesses. The owner next door did ask the line to shift away from her entrance, which was totally understandable. BONUS: They accept Apple Pay. We will absolutely return on our next trip. If you're visiting the area, we parked at Chinatown Parking for a very reasonable price, and it was an easy walk to all the restaurants we wanted to try. Pro tip: Make an afternoon of it. Grab your food and enjoy it at the local park just south of the restaurant.

Can't tell you what any of these veggies are individually and I don't care, they are so good. Next came the sautéed string beans and the sear on the beans themselves was perfect and smoky and delicious. The crispness of the sautee makes the string beans a lovely pairing with the soft yummy of the steamed buns. Last came the sesame balls as a sweet meal ending. I love donuts and fresh-made sesame balls are similar to a donut hole just with a filling that is actually food and so sweetly tasty. The outer fry was crisp and the insides absolutely perfect. Three dishes, all fantastic, and I walk home happy and thankful to Bao for a great simple meal!

    Quick and tasty spot. Came here to split a siu mai while waiting for my order from another spot…read more The cashier was super friendly and the food came out quickly. Heads up that this is mostly a takeaway spot and they only have 1-2 small tables. The siu mai was fairly big and I liked that the order came with a bunch of sauces- chili oil, soy sauce, and a hot sauce. As a big sauce fan, I appreciated the selection! I'll be back to try most of their selection.

    I've only ordered dim sum from here through Too Good to Go (2g2g). Like their Chinatown location,…read moreI find the dim sum to be oily. But overall, it's good. 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. It's full of shrimp with a slightly thicker skin, which I think adds a nice chewiness. The veggie egg rolls were okay. I personally wouldn't order those, even if I was craving them. 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. But they held up the next day so I was able to stretch 2 meals out of them. I can't comment on service since these bags are only for pick up. But they quickly provide the bags once the window open. 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.
