I love this place been eating here for more than 20 years they have recently re done the inside and made it more clean and friendly, but that plates are still good and big best deal in town. Good quality Chinese food hey have big dishes, family style if you get the same dish menus rheumatism come with rice and soup!’ Really friendly and daily al type family place would recommend to anyone. But you have to bring a few people with a big appetite to try a lot of plates It’s a clement st classic

Heartless establishment it seems. I live on on clement next to this restaurant and just locked myself out of my place and asked if I could charge my phone for a moment to call my landlord because the phone just died and they flat and refused and said it’s not our problem. Amazing neighbourly spirit! Not nice

Absolute gem. Random walk in but it’s some of the best chinese food I’ve had. The chicken was perfectly breaded and crispy and saucy. The beef was tender and high quality. The walnut shrimp was INSANE. 10/10 spot. Deserves a higher rating some people need to learn what sales tax is SMH.

Disclaimer: I deliberately waited over 24 hours before writing this review as I am trying to write this review as impartially as I can.
When we visit the establishment, we normally dine in. However, we figure since we were in a hurry to get home, maybe try their takeout.
I probably should, but I typically don’t examine the itemized receipt for accuracy. I thought maybe I will try examining it one time, and behold, it was inaccurate.
I was charged $53.80 for a $45 meal before taxes: San Francisco doesn’t have a sales tax that is nearly 20%!
When I brought this issue to the store owner and the three waitresses and waiter who were present, instead of issuing a refund of the overcharge, I was yelled at, not that I understand what they were saying, since they were using Cantonese, a dialect which I don’t speak. The only waiter who could speak fluent English, however, has for unknown reasons chosen not to help.
The foursome insisted that they don’t calculate the numbers on the receipt, that someone else told them to charge me $53.80 for a $45 meal after tax, so they did. The male store owner in particular insisted that the math isn’t wrong, that a $45 meal should be $53.80 after San Franciso tax, yelling the entire time—although he didn’t calculate the numbers, and that he was told by someone else. Strangely, the store owner suddenly decided to give something back, but then as suddenly decided not to give them back, back and forth a few times, each time giving less and less of the overcharge back.
I thought to myself, that it was only about $5 overcharge, so while I don’t want to tip for such bad service (who enjoys paying to be yelled at?), I was just going to let it slide and take my order as soon as it was ready.
So when the final dish came, I just walked out of the restaurant, ready to drive home since I live afar.
When we got home, we were shocked to find that, the last dish, which was the topmost box, was wrong: I ordered fish with bitter melon but it has not a single piece of fish in it! This has never happened with the dine-in. Someone I was eating with suggested that this can be their retaliation since it was the last dish that was delivered after I inquired about the overcharge, where the store owner was yelling at me. I readily dismiss the possibility: maybe it’s just a coincidence, although to be fair, they have never messed up the order before, during the countless times we were eating there. And the place wasn’t busy that day either but I still refuse to believe that they would do such a thing on purpose.
In sum, I would advise not ordering takeout at this place. As for dine-in, usually the food is fresh, but on a few occasions, it wasn’t fresh at all, and when the people I was eating with complained, it was readily dismissed. I guess I should known back then that this establishment doesn’t treat its customers with due respect.
In sum, I think the service isn’t acceptable, the food can be good if they visit them on a good day, and the atmosphere is reasonably quiet. I however am unsure if I can recommend this place after this experience.

Over all everything is good . But we always came back for theirs lobster noodle - seasonal I think , so call before you come . You can have just lobster with ginger onion , no noodles ! Recommend

Updated. Extra points for their waitress who took my call and resolved my concern on Wednesday. Kindness does make a difference in the hospitality business.
Great value for takeout. 4 orders for $45 and comes with rice and soup. I used to dine in person occasionally pre-Covid. The place looks a lot more "modern" now.

We went to order food with colleagues today and took it back to the hospital. When we started eating, there were bugs in the chicken wings. So we kindly called the restuant to tell them to be more careful next time, but the owner told us that the chicken wings were sold to them by someone else Someone else sold it to them, so if you want to complain, blame them instead of saying they have no problems. Their attitude is very bad We will never go to such a restaurant again.

We started ordering takeout at this restaurant 1 year ago but they have new management and new chefs and when I came to order takeout I found out my food had flies in it, and it wasnt just the soup but the meat too, I dont know any other health violations but I have already reported this the CDPH and the City and County of San Francisco.
I ADVISE TO NOT EAT OR ORDER FOOD HERE.
