This is a great low-key spot when you're in the mood for solid, straightforward dim sum. No frills, just good food done right. The shrimp rice roll was a favorite--soft and silky with plump shrimp and just the right amount of sauce. The sticky rice was comforting and flavorful, filling without being heavy. The shrimp siu mai were also really good: juicy, fresh-tasting, and not mushy. Overall, it's a reliable neighborhood spot that hits the classics. Easy place to grab dim sum when you want something quick, satisfying, and consistently good. read more

Rating: 0/5 (If I could rate it lower, I would!) I wish I could give this place a zero. Save your time and go down the street to Three Star Restaurant instead. I went to order the Jian Dui (sesame ball), and it was so hard I couldn't even bite into it. When we asked for a refund or an exchange, they refused and tried to convince us that this is how it's supposed to be which is BS. They even offered to microwave it, which was honestly more embarrassing for them than for us. I'm pretty sure those sesame balls were either old or overcooked to the point of being inedible. On top of all that, the customer service was rude and unfriendly. Do yourself a favor.... skip this place, save your money, and head to Three Star down the block or go to Clement for way better dim sum. read more

Got 4 orders of dim sum for $18.60. One order each of stuffed taro, fried meat balls, shrimp bonnets and pork dumplings. They charge $ for the plastic containers so made sure they gave me two. The food was delicious though. All the food could have been warmer and the taro crispier. read more

A mixed bag. They've got the dim sum basics covered. Har gow, siu mai, bbq buns, etc. They're hit and misses tho. The dumplings aren't bad. The items with steamed dough, like the steamed BBQ pork buns are pretty dry, and the filling is minimal. I'd stick with the dumplings, like the shark fin dumplings. Obviously, they aren't actually filled with shark fin, but with vermicelli noodles instead, but I think they're pretty good. Har gow skins are on the thicker side. Setting is pretty much like your typical Chinatown-like dim sum take out spot. I noticed that another reviewer mentioned that there was some shenanigans going on with what they charge, or rather the change they give back. I also experienced something similar. Looks like they're playing kind of loose with their pricing. So stay alert and be insistent. read more

CASH ONLY! Super cheap, fast, delicious dim sum. In particular the Shrimp Dumpling (Har Gow) and Shumai were my favorites-- really cheap, authentic, and classic. The line is chaotic and was a bit long on a Saturday morning and took maybe 15 minutes to get our food. read more

For relatively inexpensive and quick to-go dim sum, Mongkok is okay. But I'd classify the food as overall sloppy. Meaning that they simply stuff the dim sum into boxes which may cause them to fall apart. The restaurant is tiny with a short line to point and order food through the plexiglass. The service was fine, basic transactional service. It tasted more like a 3.5 star restaurant but giving it a 3 given the packaging. read more

For no-frills, cash-only, wait in line, early morning dim-sum pick up, Mongkok is good value for money. I ordered 2 beef siomai, 2 pork siomai, 3 hakaw or shrimp dumplings, 1 shrimp rice roll (all with 3 pcs each), 4 mini pork buns, and a container of 8 almond cookies for $32. Menu prices are posted on the board and the fun in ordering here is seeing the goods on display and pointing to what you like. The pork buns are warm and soft, with more bread than filling, but the dumplings are big and tasty.The almond cookies are the chewy kind not the crunchy kind, which I liked. Reminds me of Hong Kong style counter dim sum places, where you are paying for the food and no ambiance. Additional drama came when a customer used their employee-only restroom without permission and my order taker pounded on the door, demanding him to come out. Breakfast and a show! With such a busy area, parking on weekends can be a hassle though. read more

I'm a bit confused about the low ratings of Mongkok Dim Sum. There are a few Dim Sum takeout spots on this street, and while this place does not seem to have the lines of the other ones, the food here was still really good. We tried a bunch of different dim sum favorites, and everything was really good. Because the line was short, we were in and out very quickly, and prices were really inexpensive. All in all, this was a fun place to look around and try some different takeout dim sum options! read more

Mong Kok seems to have upped their game from the past few times we've been. They now have clearer pricing on new screens. Many kinds of dim sum pricing is 4 for $4.60. Their xia jiao (har gow) used to be hit or miss - one time we purchased it, the filling had a lot of pork lard vs shrimp and you never used to know what you'd get - some visits exceptional, some visits terrible. This last time, every item we got seemed consistently above decent. The xia jiao, Lo Bo gao and you tiao were good. Bbq pork buns - filling seemed generous and tasty, not too salty and not bright red with food coloring which I appreciate. Ladies were fine - brisk and professional. They're not there to be your best friend but also not rude. read more

We used to like this takeout joint for dim sum but over the years, the food has gone downhill. Unfortunately, Hubby is still stuck on the memories of years past when the dim sum was much better. He spent a bit of change coming home with dim sum that I found not edible. The fried taro balls were soggy and flavorless. The siu mai was the only item that tasted fresh. The fun gor, triangle shaped had stuffing in it that tasted sour, as in near spoiling and I threw it out after one . The har gow had flavor but the outer dough was too thick and chewy. His main purpose was to buy Chinese donuts and the usual dim sum place we go to was closed so he got them here. I've never liked the donuts here but today, it tasted OK or at least better than before. Hubby finally agreed with me that he shouldn't go back for dim sum here anymore and that's very sad because the food used to be better. read more

This place is one of the best takeout dim sum spots in the Sunset District. I ordered the chive dumplings, har gao, shiu mai, and turnip cake, and I absolutely loved every item! The total cost for all four items was only $23! 1. The chive dumplings were packed with fresh chives, shrimp, and seasonings. They were delightful! 2. The Har Gao had delicate skin that was tender and elastic, and the shrimp filling was plump, moist, and perfectly seasoned. 3. The Shiu Mai featured a thin, light wrapper that was firm and slightly chewy, with a well-seasoned mixture of ground pork and shrimp. 4. The turnip cake had a crisp, golden-brown exterior and a delicious blend of Chinese sausage, dried shrimp, and scallions. It was very well-seasoned and moist. This place is a true hidden gem, although it might not be a secret anymore with the long line! I noticed that the staff was more accommodating if you could speak Cantonese, which is common in dim sum shops. My only complaint is that they don't offer the go-to Chinese vinegar and chile oil sauce packet. The service here is decent, but it's primarily a grab-and-go spot. Make sure to bring enough cash, although they do accept cards. read more

We come here 4-5 times a week since the kids school is only a few blocks away. I think we have tried pretty much everything they have there. Everything is good and the price is reasonable. If u order anything that is crispy, take a look before u order. It might not be crispy and U can tell just by looking at it. I see some reviewers are complaining they're being charged for bags and for the containers. I don't know what to tell you but nothing is free. There was also a reviewer saying that maybe the ladies there have been overcharging customers, I don't think so. If you're good with math then you'll know they're not. They may have made a mistake by accident though. Anyway, this is a good place and the ladies there are really nice. Sometime they might not smile but they are nice. read more

Previously known for just average quality Dim Sum, Mongkok has been stepping up their game with new and higher quality offerings, late especially since new competition appeared nearby that seems to get all the attention. Step up inside and order up from the ladies behind the counter. Totally casual and to the point once inside! My favorites here include the following: pork Shu Mai and the deep fried shrimp and chive dumplings. The quality and quantity of the fillings is much better than before. If you haven't been by here before, or have in the past, this place is definitely worth a visit if you are nearby! read more

Stopped by this morning craving for some shrimp roll noodles (ha cherng fun) at 7am. Luckily, Mongkok Dim Sum opens at 7am and is close to my house. If only their noodle rolls are thin like the ones they serve in Hong Kong, than it would taste really fresh. I usually get their pork and shrimp dumplings (siu mai) and the fried glutinous rice dumplings (ham sui gok). Too bad they do not sell their black bean pork ribs over rice until 8:30am. That one is pretty good like restaurant quality. The star of the dimsum today is their fried glutinous rice dumpling. Extra crispy and tasty! So good! They usually get very busy throughout the day too. They are also more kind to you if you speak Cantonese (their native language) pretty much like any dim sum shop. The total for the three items is exactly $11 (cash only). They do not sell milk tea here so I went across the street to the donut times store to get a drink so I can have a complete breakfast set. Overall, I recommend Mongkok Dim Sum. read more

Ha, the memories. Used to drool looking at those hot, steamed piping hot hargows and exotic looking dumplings being shifted out to be displayed thru the windows. And then once you tasted it you knew why there was no Cantonese grandmas loitering around nowhere. Regardless am very glad they are still around. Good times... read more

Dim Sum: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/3 Overall: The dim sum is pretty standard fare in my opinion. The extended review... Dim Sum: Siu Mai - 3/5 - Standard fare in terms of taste and the portion size is moderate compared to other dim sum places. Har Gow - 3/5 - Same as the siu mai, it's standard fare in terms of taste and the portion size is moderate compared to other dim sum places. The wrapper was slightly falling apart so it might have been sitting there a while. Service: 3/5 - Standard service. Ambiance: 3/5 - Similar to other dim sum places. read more

The siu mais here are big. There's a mong kok dim sum in Chinatown and I wonder if this is the same owner as the Chinatown once since they both sell big juicy siu mais. I always get at least 3 orders of siu mais when I'm here. My friend got the BBQ pork bun and her 1 year old daughter loved it. She couldn't finish her lunch at home, but she was able to finish a BBQ pork bun all by herself. read more

If you are craving dim sum but don't have time to sit down at a restaurant, this is the place to go to! Mongkok Dim Sum offers grab and go dim sum of classic dishes including BBQ pork buns, sticky rice, ha gao, shiu mai, and ha churn. I've tried all of these and they are delicious! They serve other dishes as well including noodles and sweeter dim sum options. It obviously isn't the same quality as dim sum served at a restaurant, but the taste and flavor is there where it can satisfy your dim sum craving. It is also a little cheaper and their place is cash only as well. Stop by if you are looking for dim sum to go! read more

Better priced than Good Luck and I don't need to drive as far into the City to fill my dim sum craving.

Dim sum is acceptable, prices are reasonable. Dough of shrimp dumpling is bit thick unless you 're craving for it otherwise can pass. Shiu Mai and porridge are good. Service is really shortfall. One of the ladies has no courtesy and often has attitude toward customers just be aware, oftentimes, they try to sell you the left over if you attempt make any purchase before closing. One last thought, food handling sometime not so sanitary. read more

Food is decent but the ladies that work there is another story. Don't leave before counting your change. I got 3 orders of pork and shrimp Sui Mai for $12.80. I gave the lady $20.80 and she gave me $2.00 back. I said to her that she gave me the wrong change. She gave me a full blown attitude saying $16.80, I said no, on the menu it says 1 order of 4 is $4.20 how does that come out to $16.80 and even so you still gave me the wrong change. She had no choice but to give me my correct change back. read more

I've been wondering why some of my old reviews were missing or removed. There were a few places that I know I've written a review in the past, but they were missing for some reason. I've been participating on the #YelpChallenge2020 as I was invited by the Houston CM a couple of months ago. Since we've been on lockdown, I might as well join in as I ain't goin' nowhere. My original review for this place was flagged and removed. This threw me for a loop as it got me recounting my reviews, which I had been meticulously tracking. I was discombobulated for a couple of days trying to figure out how my count was off. I don't lie when it comes to my reviews. I do a thorough research on several of them, and sometimes the process could take several hours from draft to finish. I write reviews base on my own personal experiences. I originally rated this place 2 stars and even wished them well. However, I'll just write a summary of my own personal experience this time around: Wednesday, August 12, 2020. I arrived looking for a quick bite to eat prior to my 9AM appointment at Kaiser in Daly City. It was approximately 0805 hours. The lady working the counter at that time was rude, condescending and impatient. I was appalled on how unprofessional she was. She even neglected to provide me with utensils, napkins and a packet of soy sauce. When I asked for these, she gave a sigh and shoved them in the plastic bag and handed them to me in a disrespectful manner. Rude is an understatement. I didn't enjoy my order due to the experience and I do not plan on returning here again. I will support other businesses that treats their customers with the utmost respect...pandemic or not. #YelpChallenge2020 review No. 51 read more

The chicken feet and dim sum are pretty good, price is cheap too. There is no space for dining in and we just buy to go orders here.

Hole in the wall spot with quality dim sum to go. Minus one star because the prices seem kind of steep for a to-go spot. Expect a short wait. Don't skip the cheurng fun (rice rolls). read more
