Description

Enormous, rollicking dim sum palace serves up huge sweet prawns, crisply fried or wrapped in rice paper; a spiky seaweed salad with pickled cabbage and sesame seeds; light, lovely pork buns stuffed with sweet and sour pork; silky Chinese tamales of sticky rice and chicken gizzards; and much, much more. Other menu items include the house chow fun and rice and noodle dishes of great variety. The tiny, flaky custard tart is a good dessert choice.

From 10:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. daily, carts roll through the huge, slightly shabby Gold Mountain restaurant, bearing bamboo steamers full of freshly prepared dim sum. (Between 2 and 3, you can order from a one-page menu listing more than three dozen kinds.) Most of San Francisco's other favorite dim sum parlors are scattered across the city in places as varied as the Financial District and the Sunset.

This sprawling palace of pork buns is the king of local Hong Kong–style lunch joints. It might be a bit overwhelming for the uninitiated gwai lo, what with the half-screaming waiters hurdling in tight circles around the tables with steaming carts of cow stomach, but there's no other place in town that can offer such a quintessential, exciting Chinatown lunch. The food is cheap (you can eat yourself silly for under $10) and savory enough to ensure that you'll never again visit that... More »

Most of San Francisco's other favorite dim sum parlors are scattered across the city in places as varied as the Financial District and the Sunset. But Gold Mountain flies the dim sum flag proudly, right in Chinatown. On weekends, there are two additional floors to seat the overflow crowds. The price is right ($2-$2.80 for three dumplings), and the dim sum are well made, too. Favorites include shrimp-and-chive dumplings, which look like beggars' purses tied up with a chive; fat minced beef balls; Shanghai steamed pork dumplings; and shrimp-and-pork siu mai topped with whole shrimp. There's also wonderful wor wonton soup. "As good as Beijing," one world traveler said.
