You are surrounded by fortune cookies or every size and flavor, get free samples and are free to just sit and watch.

Down a back alley between Stockton St. and Grant Avenue, this small shop/factory is worth the search to sample some delicious fortune cookies (in three flavors), buy a bag of your favorite type, and to have some c...

I loved the strawberry flavored ones, but any samples nice and warn are delicious, this was easy to find by googling Ross alley.

Worth a pop in

This is just a place to pop in quickly and see how fortune cookies are made. They let you write your own fortune, which was a fun concept. I believe it was $1.00 for one cookie or $1.50 for 2. It is cash only.

A must if in Chinatown

If you are in Chinatown then you need to check out this place to see how fortune cookies are made. They give out tasters and for a buck you can take pictures of the team making them. Really interesting quick stop.

Small tourist trap

The concept is cool: Allowing you to personalize a message and put it inside a fresh fortune cookie. And I'll give it a 2 out of 5 rating because the giant fortune cookie is also a neat concept. But this really is a dumpy tourist...More

Do the fortune cookies contain an allergen warning when you buy them? Just wondering about the peanut and tree nut content.

What are there business hours or tour schedule?

February 24, 2017|

AnswerShow all 3 answers

I don't know for sure, but would guess normal business hours. Google Maps says 8am-6pm, 7 days a week. No tour, but you can see them pressing the cookies when you step inside. Very small place.
