What a really pleasant visit to this place in historic SF Chinatown. It can be easy to miss from the busy Jackson Street if you are getting mesmerized by similarly colored awning signs.
It was my firs time visiting. Thanks to a friend who recommended I check it out just to make a personalized fortune in your own words!
The second I walked in, the nice little lady beckoned me to walk in further and assured me in her Chinese-like motion that it'll be alright. Her broken English in a humble way made me want to hug her! She is such a pure person. She gave me a handful of newly made flat cookies. And boy, that first crunchy warm bite had me in a bliss! What an experience! Unlike some Chinese merchants, this nice lady wasn't pushy. She allowed me to browse for myself to soak in the excitement I was having in there. I picked my first bag of green tea cookies, then out she comes next to me with an open souvenir bag featuring their factory logo. She motioned into the bag that she wants me to put my first grab into it. Then she followed me like a golf caddy would with that open bag. I was getting embarrassed because I am not use to this much extra service and attention. I grabbed more varieties of cookies. Her patience waiting with me as I picked the bags of cookies is like a mom letting her toddler enjoy himself in a toy store and watching her child with joy. She is so lovely. I purchased over $60 of cookies. Most of them are gifts to friends!
By the way, it's a cash only place so be ready to bring in tons of cash if you expect to spend alot. Bring what you think you will buy. As soon as she gave me back my change, she told me to pause first before I leave the store. Then she walks toward the freshly baked cookie bin and put on my outstretched hand more cookies! They're the flat cookies. So she gave me a stack of about 11 cookies that are about a 5-6 inches in diameter. In her broken English she wants me to visit again. Thank you for such a personable experience! Fortune cookies should be an institution in itself. Just like France is known for baguettes, San Francisco should be solely known for fortune cookies!
