The Mini JohnMay 14, 2015A tiny little place that works non stop for your own little fortune :) they speak no English but it's funny having a "conversation" with them. Oh photography costs 0.50$ :p
Stefani KJune 17, 2017Great place to visit to learn a bit about fortune cookies and grab a snack while you shop and site see! 50 cents for photos and you can also make your own fortunes to have put inside fortune cookies!
Diane BooneAugust 1, 2013A fun, quick little stop off the beaten path. I was expecting a big factory but found a very rustic room with 4 people hand folding the fortune cookies. Chocolate fortune cookies were delicious!
🍰December 11, 2020fast forward to 2020...no lines. small shop with 2 ladies sitting at the cookie machine. warm flat fortune cookies 😋. taste 20x better than the restaurant ones. customize your fortune. adult version.
Divya MenonMarch 9, 2015Crispy cookies! Chocolate flavor also available. It's a very small factory in one of the alleys in China town. You can see them make fresh cookies! 50 cents for a picture!
Ryan PalmerFebruary 13, 2017Very small inside. Grab your purchases on the left and get free samples on the right
Anthony V.May 27, 2019This non-corporate tourist destination in San Francisco is also one of the best. The fortune cookie shop lets visitors see how fortune cookies are made and sells the finished product.
Ashok LalwaniSeptember 6, 2014Most amazing, always fresh fortune cookies. The owners always add extra samplers with the pack. Buying from the factory gets you the best price too.
Margot SeetoFebruary 13, 2021A classic! They really need our business during the pandemic. Still generous with free samples, and branded reusable shopping bags!
ScoutmobNovember 28, 2011The Japanese Hagiwara family invented "Chinese" fortune cookies at Golden Gate Park's Tea Garden. In Chinatown's Ross Alley you can watch them being churned out at the fortune cookie factory!
jansen cMarch 28, 2019Super random opening hours.. the egg tart is really fresh but beware of long line!
herm pugayNovember 9, 2014Many times walking by to check in looking at how fortune cookies are made and getting samples. Or buying a bag or two.
Fernanda BonninMay 12, 2019Tiny place, the cookies are yummy and you can do your own message to put inside cookies. 2 for for $1.50
Karen KJune 2, 2017Def. touristy, but you can get a freshly baked sample of fortune cookie and you can get some custom ones made here.
E MarSeptember 12, 2014They'll charge you 50¢ to take a photo inside, but they will give you a warm cookie sample for free.
- Joey WheelerAugust 14, 2017Free hot sample when you walk in. Get the adult fortune cookies for a good lol. Nice people.
CarolineFebruary 22, 2011Neat little spot tucked away in an alley. If you're lucky, you'll get some hot pre-folded fortune cookies. Buy some "adult" fortune cookies for some very cheezy and silly fortunes.
Maya ByrneDecember 2, 2017Not much to see unfortunately. You walk in and there are 2 ladies working on making cookies with a man collecting money for taking photos. You can buy large bags of fortune cookies though
Angelica DongalloMay 10, 2014Free fortune cookie samples, but pay 50 cents to take a photo inside ;) check out the adult fortune cookies for $5 for some extra fun.
MarkusJuly 16, 2014Cute and weird little place. It's so small that you basically always stand in their way. :D Check it out when you're there.
Kim KleinsmithJuly 5, 2014Great hidden secret off the main street. The cookies are delicious and really neat to see them handmade.
Poncho FragosoJuly 21, 2019Little and real place where fortune cookies are made, just tip 50 cents to take a photo.
AkitFebruary 19, 2012Flat cookies (failed ones) are $2.75 and plenty to share with friends. Stays very fresh for days as long you don't open the bag.
Michelin Travel & LifestyleFebruary 5, 2013You can watch the cookies get baked in griddles and folded around fortunes, some regular and some risqué. Bags of 40 cookies are only $3. - Green Guide Editor
Yvonne KwanSeptember 10, 2014Free samples! Buy a bag of rejected cookies for cheap to snack on and share.- Gal RozovMay 14, 2012Try the flat fortune cookies - Must have, don't miss. Great experience and the taste...
Andrea CarnesAugust 18, 2015I bought a $5.50 bag of chocolate and vanilla x-rated fortune cookies. My friend got yelled at for trying to spend her money so she walked out. Wasn't crowded. Not sure why so much attitude!
Travis CanfieldAugust 24, 2014This little place will shock you when you think about how many cookies are made.
John BerchielliAugust 13, 2012Try the flat fortune cookies. A must quick stop on your tour of SF Chinatown.- Ryan PalmerFebruary 13, 2017Even if it looks like a long line, you will be in and out if there within five minutes.
Zhue EstradaSeptember 13, 2015Smells like heaven! And also you can create your own fortune cookie. :3
Edward MarAugust 11, 2013Don't take photos or they charge btw. So just did the outside lol. Mind the pigeons and the occasional truck.
Natasha HuangDecember 30, 2011$.50 for a photo and be quick because an old Chinese man will yell at you. Also don't bother asking questions because nobody speaks English.
🍉🌽🍍Tay Dubb🚽💩💨December 29, 2014Fresh and chocolate flavor fortune cookies.. Pretty slick in my book!

Bo StephensSeptember 6, 2009Print or hand-write your own fortune to bring to this small shop down Ross Alley and they will put it in a fortune cookie for you. Bring some change - pictures are 25 cents.
They now have chocolate fortune cookies. And they sell fortune cookie discs.- Justin SlatenNovember 18, 2012Don't forget to pay the 50 cents to take a picture. Wait, don't worry they will remind you.
