This place is great. I've been coming here since I moved to SF a year and a half ago. Sure, the service is somewhat questionable, but that's why I love this place! Where else can you go on a Saturday morning to get delicious morsels of pork and shrimp while watching choreographed chaos? If you're shouted at or bumped by the dim sum cart full of wonders when it passes by you, savor the moment. When the lady behind the counter (who always has her arm in a brace wrapped with a plastic bag) aks for your order, you better be ready. You like ha gao or shu mai? One piece or one odah? It doesn't matter to me. You can always count on something delicious even if you must repeat your order 3 or 4 times. Tip: you can call ahead and they'll have your order all boxed up for you when you come pick it up.

I happened to get off at 6th Ave and Geary one day and stumbled upon Good Luck Dim Sum a coupl of blocks away. I was surprised at how much I was able to get for so little. I received three pieces of steamed bbq pork buns and one oven-baked bun for only $2.20! Yes, the service is much to be desired. I think one of the reviewers said the Chinese ladies were rude and another said the service was a little sketch - I definitely agree, but what do you expect? You get in, place your order, and get it to go.

This neighborhood take-out dim sum storefront is always crowded, especially on weekends. The prices are very reasonable and the food is fresh. I love their chives dumplings, har gow (shrimp bonnets) and ti leaf wrapped steamed chicken/rice. You pick up a small order menu on the counter and circle how many of each item you want and hand it to the servers when it's your turn. Skip the egg/pork jook(congee), it's not that good. The egg rolls are vegetarian. The chicken buns are pretty good as well as the taro root and turnip cakes. They don't have all the varieties of dim sum but the traditional ones including potstickers and siu mai, BBQ pork (baked and steamed) are all there. The workers are not the friendliest but if you worked there and the line was endless and queued into the back wall near the kitchen, you'd be the same way too. It can take 30 mins to get to the front of the line and get out after you get your order because they're so popular. There are 2 tables to sit down to eat, but very cramped and way too crowded for a comfortable meal. And it's Zagat rated!
