Reviews for Begoni Bistro Dim Sum & Wok in San Francisco, CA
I think this place is overrated. When we arrived, it was full of old Chinese people, so we had some hope for the place. Only... enjoyed the pan fried shrimp tofu rolls. Crab soup dumplings were dry on top, broken so all the soup had leaked out and didn'ttaste or smell very fresh. Chicken dumplings didn't have much meat and were sticking too much to the paper base (probably notcooked enough). We ordered the pork chop but the invoice listed pork rib - the manager said it was the same thing. I doubt thatit was, but we ate it anyway. The ribs were extremely oily but quite garlicky which saved it a little. The puer tea was quitenice. Service was quick but I didn't get the chilli that I asked for. All in all, an underwhelming experience. Read more
Delicious food and good service! We were seated immediately and got our food pretty fast as well. I recommend the BBQ Pork Steam... Buns - very good! Be careful when marking the ordering sheet tho… I got a lot more food than we thought we did lol Read more
Very authentic establishment serving up some Cantonese style Dim Sum all day long. The restaurant is clean and offers a wide... variety of dining options on the menu. To start the fish and shrimp ball is very nice along with the spicy sui mai. I was quitepleasure with every dish I ordered and returned for a second time within a week of my first visit. The eggplant string bean dishis quite pleasant and should be accompanied with rice. The won ton was so so. Other places have better. The pricing is quitefair for the area and food quality superior. I’ll be returning to taste the Lobster and Crab dishes soon. Happy to add thisspot into the Chinatown repertoire. Read more
Once we were seated it was a great experience, food was good and service was fine. The issue was that we got here and was going... to ask how long the wait was but we didn't see the host until 20 minutes after we had got there. When the host finally showedup, we were basically seated right after, but at least let us know it would be a 20 minute wait so we don't stand therewondering what was going on. Read more
I was looking for a place for Dim Sum in Chinatown today. I preferred a place with nice sitting and decorations. I went a few... places and didn’t find a satisfied one until I entered this place. Very nice dining environment in Chinatown. Clean andaccept credit card :) Recommend the shrimp noodle roll. It comes with green vegetables that is different from most of otherplaces. But that is exactly what I want. Reasonable price! $1.45 per person for the tea. Will bring my whole family here nexttime when we are gathering in the city. Read more
Randomly went here after Good Mong Kok Bakery was a waste of time. Good food, though I would like to see "pan fried" be more... fried vs not. Atmosphere was good. Food was good. Service was "meg" but could be that I went at an off time. Probably won't goback specifically, but would eat there again. Read more
Highly recommended this place and we will go back again! Great to have another nice dim sum place to go to on the block! They... are busy throughout the time we were there but the wait was only a few minutes wasn’t that bad at all. When we left around12:30 pm the line was moving even faster. All the staffs are very friendly. The best part is that they do answer their phone andgreat communication! Pan fried mushroom bun, bean curd roll ( vegetarian dish), Shanghai dumplings, and the stuffed eggplant (would have been even better if the eggplant part was bigger and the fish stuffings part was smaller portion), donut noodle rollare some of my favorites among what we ordered. The black bean sauce chicken feet and spear ribs were not the type that I like.Hope when I return they will change to my good old hometown style. Read more
One of the good dim sum places in Chinatown, prefect for party of 2 up to family sizes. The congee is super flavorful and a must... try. Going there around 10-10:30 for dim sum is the best time before the crowd. Read more
