This is one of my official stops whenever I am showing people around SF Chinatown, great for children and adults alike. I always take any visitors for a brief visit here (~3-10 minutes max). The owner is all about business and charges 25 cents if you want to take photos of the process. Don't worry if you only have large bills, he has lots of change ready. He will also offer you some freshly-made, free samples of unfolded fortune cookies.

It's truly fascinating to watch how quickly and methodically the three expressionless workers process the fortune cookies and interesting to see the dough being baked and molded in the machines. These are probably some of the only fortune cookies that are handmade instead of mass produced. At the same time, this also seems like a fortune cookie sweat shop.

Be careful about lingering too long or staring at a particular product-- you may be started by the owner barking at you asking what you are going to purchase. There is a small selection of different items for sale that are only a couple dollars per bag. You can purchase a variety of regular or chocolate fortune cookies and even "adult" fortune cookies. I usually go for the unfolded ones and munch on them as a snack.
