San Francisco is renowned for its thriving Chinese dining scene, which dates back to the 1800s. From China Town to Clement Street and plenty of places in between, you can find some of the best Chinese food in the country. If you’re a dumpling enthusiast, head to Good Luck Dim Sum for the best har gow and char sui bao you’ll find outside of Hong Kong!
Where?
763 Clement Street, San Francisco, CA 94118.
You’d be forgiven for walking past this unassuming little shop front, located on bustling Clement Street (known by locals as ‘the other Chinatown’). However, the ever-present line of hungry customers snaking out the door gives a little hint of the wonders within!
What to Order?
With super affordable prices for the Bay Area, Good Luck Dim Sum allows you to explore the mouth-watering world of dim sum without making too much of a dent on your wallet. Try the har gow (shrimp dumplings), char sui bao (BBQ pork buns), shrimp and chive dumplings and pot stickers to get started. Have cash ready and a picnic spot in mind because there’s no card machine and very few tables!
