$10 lunch special, a defiantly low price for San Francisco. I’ve gotten the pork buns here too, there isn’t a single item on the menu that doesn’t come at a great value. Bring cash, its possible to use card above ~15 I think but cash is king. This is a neighborhood fixture, not a tourist attraction. There is no seating, no bathroom, there is not even really an optimal place to stand or form a line, the service is not scripted, and the signage is office paper. This is not a streamlined, market-research driven customer experience. It is not a panda express. What It is, is simply a reflection of the locality it serves—a long-standing San Francisco neighborhood with a heavily Chinese heritage and enduring working class character. To eat here is to eat with the community, it’s to sit at the table among neighbors and friends and share a meal. The value of the community is reflected in the value of the food, and the savings are passed on. Just a thought on what it means to have a good deal. It’s not purely an economic benefit to the consumer, it often times betrays an investment into the community being served.

Been going here almost every other day and every week as well. Food is good quality, tastes so good and price is so cheap! I recommend this restaurant to everyone.❤️

Great value takeout dimsum, with good amount of variety. This is our go-to place when we want dimsum without paying yumcha prices. Sometimes a small line but moves very fast. Some smaller items are sold as an order (3x), so make sure to clarify if you want just 1 or one order (3x). They also have some hot foods but we have yet to try.

Food and service used to be good, but I agree with other reviewers here. Last couple times I patroned here, noticed counter staff not calculating the total. Rather just coming up with a whole number on the spot, no receipt, overcharging me on big and small orders. Seriously, the total does not include any – cents?
Came back to buy a few items this time around wishing a different staff would be more honest – didnt happen.
Paid and left without word.
Tip: if multiple items, best to ask for an itemized receipt. If dont provide, why?

This is a “hole in a wall” that makes some of the tastiest and least costly dim-sum anywhere. There is usually a short line waiting for service. Dim-Sum is freshly made daily. Great lunch specials: 2 steam table items plus fried rice or noodles or rice for less than $10. Also has a self serve freezer for customers to pick up extras for dinner at home.
Don’t expect a fancy ambience but good and inexpensive dim-sum. Worth the trip.

I usually like this place, but I ordered the green been and beef dish, and received this clump of bones and fat. I ate the green beens, but left this 12 oz mass of yuck. C’mon Chase Luck, use better beef stock!

Having been a customer of Chase Luck for years, I’m surprised I haven’t wrote them a review yet. The staff have always been nice to me treating me as a local. They are not the best nor are they the cheapest. What keeps me coming back is the variety. Their lunch boxes aren’t bad. Don’t keep the lunch boxes as leftovers. It is not good the next day. The items I do like, if they have it, are lotus leaf wraps (lo mai gai), pork dim sum (siu mai) and sticky rice by the pound. $35 for what I picked up today. It used to be around $20 before the pandemic.

We got the lunch special – a box of steamed rice with 3 entrees and a box of noodle with 2 entrees. Typical Chinese food with great price. Some of the entrees are good and others, not so much so choose wisely!

Only got the baozi (small meat & veggies bun), which are not that small… jus regular size. 3 for $2.20 + tax.
Wow, that must be the cheapest lunch I’ve ever had in SF! Very good deals~ their lunch special (which lasts all day, and they open til 6pm I think) is only $5.45 + tax.
The deal is plain rice with 3 choices of meat/veggies or fried rice/fried noodles with 2 choices. They have all choices out there so you can choose with your eyes~ I haven’t tried the food so I can’t tell if it’s good and worth the $6, But I saw other people ordering it, so I presume it’s at least ok~
Service is not great, but for that price and quantity of food you can’t ask much more. When I came, one of the ladies was cleaning. She didn’t seem to care there were customers (I was the first one entering at 4pm, and 3 more customers followed) and kept cleaning. Must say it’s not pleasant to eat while seeing all the dirty stuff on a dustpan.
Also the younger woman at the counter offered to warm up my buns, which was nice. I assumed they’d be warm because they were in a steamer, but I guess the steamer is off. So I appreciated that she’d heat it up for me. The older lady told her not to offer, Only warm up if client asks. I was a bit startled at this..they were promoting bad service?? Like heating up in a microwave doesn’t really consume much time or money, just offer every time! The client will thank you for it~ if their food is all cold, they’ll probably be unhappy.
