- Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory in San Francisco makes 10,000 fortune cookies a day, but you won’t find them in any restaurant. Instead, the business relies on tourists who want to see the process that goes into making the famous cookies. Owner Kevin Chun isn't too concerned with making a profit either - he even hands out free samples of the cookies that aren't up to standard.

Family-Owned Factory Makes 10,000 Fortune Cookies Per Day
Owner: "I want them to taste the real fortune cookies. The real one."
American customers: wow, authentic Chinese 😯
People in China: Sigh 😒
😂
Fortune cookies originated in Japan.
@@aceyfox73 That's not quite correct.
While a confectionery that had a luck fortune inside was made in japan, there have been similar fortune confections in china as well before the edo period. The cookies made in japan didnt look like the fortune cookies we see now. I think it comes down to how literal the word fortune is being used if we want to call japan the originator of fortune confectionery
how about... authentic *San Francisco* Chinese ?
yeah, the "Chinese" food I see in Western media makes me roll my eyes to the back of my head
"you can customize your fortune"
Valdemar that just screws up the whole point of the cookie, sound stupid unless we are planning to prank someone 😂
I don’t go there for za fortune cookies, I go for their egg tarts 🤤
the two elderly ladies are always there and they are sooo cute and kind
1:07 English teachers: what does this MEAN??
Wish I could have made it there my one time in San Francisco. Looks like a fun place. Nice owner.
"Our aim is to serve the city" "Did you just take a photo? 50 cents please" ;)
they can't serve anything if they've got empty wallets though
So true 😅
He didn’t say served free. 😂
Pretty cool to see a video about it. It's one of the unique little places
Food Insider, great video! Enjoy your Tuesday!💯🙏👐
Went there back in November and the fortune cookies are very delicious!! Chinatown in SF very tasty food!! Had the pork bun and shrimp goyza!! My mouth is watering just thinking about it!!
Yooooo i went there as a kid lmao. I Remember we went on a Field trip to the 7 seas restaurant in Chinatown. Then stopped there after.
If you want quality in a product then it makes sense to pay more. I would be willing to bet his cookies taste great and I love it is a small business doing it big time. I like these videos that highlight small business people like Mr. Chun. PJ
How much did you guys pay to film this 😅
50 cents.
They actually pay all the places they film, so more than it would cost you to take a picture for sure 😂
Went there a couple years ago. Love it!
I was wondering why the papers inside didn't burn, but now I understand.
This man, is a great man and American business owner!!!!
looks so good
Their green tea ones are sooo good!!
Everyone who I take here loves the taste of the cookies. They are nicely browned. I prefer buying the bags of the flat ones. They taste better than the fortune cookies you get at most Chinese restaurants and places like Panda Express. The rent was increased in the last few years so he's not making a huge profit. It's a worthwhile stop during any trip to Chinatown.
They haven't asked for money for taking photos for years fyi.
I think it's currently about $9 a large bag of cookies and at $10 the lady will give you a new reusable bag and throw in extra flat cookies so you can eat them as you walk around without having to open the bag (s) of cookies you just bought.
There's a boba shop next door in that alley too.
Those are yummy, I highly recommend
How fortunate I found this! 😉
I have seen you be for!
I need one of these!
Very nice people
OMG !!! MY FORTUNE COOKIE WAS RIGHT !!! : " Today you'll learn how fortune cookies are made ! " 😯
TyrranicalT-Rad 🤯
Well if I ever manage to find myself in SF I’ll definitely stop by for a cookie
The workers... They look so happy...
Fortune cookie is American and hardly Chinese.
It's Chinese-American.
like it.love from sri lanka.
Nice
This guy has good values
You should do Golden Gate Bakery. I think that’s the right name. They sell egg custards. Dan tat. Excuse my spelling. There’s always a crazy long line and then it sells out immediately!
Hi from London
I Watched a good video. spend a good day
As someone who never eat or see fortune cookies in real life, i just have one question: do you guys really eat it or not? 😅 i never saw someone eat the cookies after they crack them 😅
Yes we Eat the Cookie lol. We crack it to view the Fortune then Eat it.
I do. They taste pretty nice. That said, I'd much prefer to eat them flat like the free samples. If I could buy them like you can pizzelles I'd do it.
I eat the fortune and the cookie together. Then my fortune comes true.
I heard u are supposed to eat the cookie before u read it
yes u crack it open to get the fortune inside then eat the cookie
I bet you he makes the most accurate fortune cookies in the country 😹👏
As a Chinese in Taiwan, I’ve never try or seen fortune cookies in my life lol
Fortune cookies originated in Japan.
How do I place orders
First love your Chanel
May I ask who is narrating this video? She sounds so familiar
Oh this was now i thought this was like a month ago
I just knew fortune cookies exist
You will be hungry again in one hour.
Lucky numbers 7, 22, 31, 43, 5, 30
“whenever they think of San Francisco they think Chinatown” - riiiight...
Not Really. Living here you dont see Tourists there as Much its Not as Popular as you thonk unless they have a Chinese New year Event with the Dragon's. Most People dont Even go to Chinatown. It's Either about Coit Tower, Golden Gate Bridge, or the Pier and Beaches.
When I was little and I go to king buffet, I thought they just slip the paper through the gaps lmao
👏👏👏👏👍👍
Is that a paper inside the cookie?
😍😍
OH, PAG IBIG FORTUNE COOKIE💙
I’ve never seen a fortune cookie in Asia and I’m Asian 😰
That's because they're American food. American origin with a little Chinese influence. Haha 😂
50 cents for a picture?! that’s typical chinese business right there
I love fortune cookies. 🥠 I appreciate the employees wearing gloves, but please wear a hair net too.
I. Ever eat
Can I buy a buy a pound of “seasonings”?
It’s very affordable. Not like $20 mini cupcakes
I know it's tough time for fortune cookie right now, No tourist s
The board with holes is a health hazard
I wonder how many fortune sentences would be in one day production? do they change their fortune sentences to become relevant with the era or do they took from Chinese wisdom? 🤔
Maybe a mix
“Profits are even his main concern”
But he charges 50 cents for a photo
Well I assume he still has to at least break even to be in business lol
wages, rent, electricity etc. with the pandemic. he's lucky if tourists even visit.
By hand really I thought by foot
If you customize your fortune then it’s Not your fortune anymore 🧐
y'all got SCAMMED lmao
Who's is watching it eating noodles 😂😂😂
I want to taste the wheel one, the wheel one, fortune cookie.

price gauging
No. Playing for quality. Shalom
Sup
We all know fortune cookies are made from Alien poop

Oakland Chinatown fortune cookie factory is better than his commercialized tourism fortune cookies.
Definitely agree!
I would like some north Korean fortune cookies: "you are a coward"
Blue lives matter hat bruh
It’s sad he ms not doing it for money but “for the people and community of San Francisco”. That place is an absolute wasteland now.
I never believe this fortune biscuits

parvin3535 parvin3535 Taste way better than the americanized not authentic chinese food, this place is a historic landmarks and the very last shops that make fortune cookies by hand .
Fun fact: fortune cookies didn’t originate in China. They were made in America.
Corona cookies 😅
