Very small place off main drag. Only 3-4 can fit in at a time, but observing the women making fortune cookies takes about five minutes, so the line moves quickly. There is no charge for watching. The owner passes out samples to try, and you can buy a bag of regular or chocolate. HOWEVER, if you would like to do... More

I visited this place with absolutely no expectations. I hadn't even looked at Trip Advisor, just went from the suggestion of a friend. It's not really that hard to find if you have Google Maps handy on your smartphone and some basic navigation skills. Punch in the address and find the alley. I did accidentally go downstairs into some barber... More

The Golden Gate Fortune Cookie company is a must-see Chinatown attraction! It's a tiny little factory in a back alley where you can see how fortune cookies are made. You can take in the whole place at a glance and figure out how everything works in 5 minutes or less. It's so small that only about 10 people can crowd... More

It was an experience just finding this little gem. The kids enjoyed seeing how fortune cookies were made and they tasted great too!

This little find was fun. It is located in a small back alley, so we hesitated going at first. It was fun to see the cookies being made by a litlle elderly couple and they are really tasty. If you are in Chinatown, stop by.

This is the only way you're going to find little treasures such Golden Gate Fortune Cookies. The shop is located on tiny Ross Alley and isn't much more than a hole-in-the-wall. But where else can you see fortune... More

You can fit about 4 tourists in this place. It's full of good chinese characters. Not worth staying more than 5 mins but if you're in the area it's worth a look. It's 50c to take a photo of the lady making the cookies...

Ok so... I thought this was hilarious.... The place is in a alley, it's not scary but it is dirty filthy and awesome.... Complete hole in the wall. Line out the door of people waiting for cookies. Trash cans on both sides of the doorway filled to the rim full of tourist trash. Inside the door petite Asian woman rushing... More

Woman folding fortune cookies and inserting fortunes at impressive speeds = factory. Good samples of fortune cookies in flat form and inexpensive bags of cookies make it well worth the minute you'll spend there. And it's off the beaten path, so it feels like a behind the scenes find.
