There's something truly special about starting my day with a visit to my favorite bakery. I enjoy this place so much that I make it a point to go at least three times a week. The walk there and back, a 45-minute round trip, has become one of my favorite routines. It's not just about the food; it's the whole experience--getting some fresh air, soaking in the morning quiet, and treating myself to something wonderful. The women who work at the bakery are patient and friendly. I never leave without ordering my favorites: har gow, pork siu mai, and taro root turnovers--if they're made. The har gow are a standout, with their delicate, translucent wrappers encasing plump, perfectly cooked shrimp. The pork siu mai are tender, savory, and packed with flavor, free of any gristle or imperfections. I love the taro root turnovers--flaky and filled with taro and minced meat. These morning walks to the bakery have become more than a simple trip for food--they're a cherished part of my day. It's a time to reflect, enjoy the world waking up around me, and treat myself to something truly comforting. I hope this bakery stays around for many years to come because it's become such a meaningful part of my routine.

Picked up dim sum here on a Friday morning and loved it! No wait or line. For 4 people, I ordered: SAVORY Har gow (x2): 5* Shrimp rice roll (x2): 5* This and the har gow were standout dishes and household favorites. Lotus leaf chicken rice: 4* Baked char siu bun (x2): 4* Loved the slightly sweet crispy topping on these. Siu mai (x2): 3* Least favorite dish here. Texture was off. Small portions and not as tasty as other takeout dim sum spots. SWEET Red bean mochi: 5* So good, I would come back just for these. Sesame balls: 3.5* There is a sign stating that they accept credit cards with a $20 purchase minimum but I paid with cash. Ambience and service are as expected for a simple, casual takeout dim sum spot. I'd recommend knowing everything you want before starting to order as they seem to appreciate efficiency. I like that food items in the display are clearly labeled with prices.

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!

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.

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.
