Delicious stuff. One of the best noodles in town. Flavorful and comforting. Great portions, lots of meat in the noodles

I’m writing this review while still at the restaurant- that’s how blown away I am. This was the most incredible chicken congee I’ve ever had in my life. Not only was service quick, efficient and mindful (it’s a cold rainy day here in SF, and instead of bringing me water, the waiter brought me a cup of hot tea- just what I needed!).
I came here for rice porridge and when I saw it was $18 I was a little unsure- I am a chef and know how much wholesale ingredients cost, but SF is expensive to live/operate a business in & I like to support small family businesses, so I ordered. Well- this was absolutely worth every penny! The porridge is the perfect texture; flavorful, topped with fresh fragrant herbs and big meaty pieces of chicken within. It’s a huge portion, so it is more than worth the price. I ordered fried donut sticks to dip into the congee and oh my gosh…I have perhaps passed on and gone to heaven. This is PHENOMENAL. And nothing needed to be seasoned! It came out perfect, no need to add salt or white pepper or anything. The chef and kitchen team are true masters at their craft.
If you are ever in the SF area and craving a good bowl of rice porridge, this is THE place to go. This is the kind of place that should have a line around the block. Absolutely divine.

Massive portions (coming from a big guy too). Fast speed of food coming out. Otherwise really feels like a normal casual Chinese diner. Plenty spicy if you want that too.

Food is phenomenal. Recommended by a friend and it's our second time coming here from the south bay.
Apparently the chef is pretty established in china. This place deserves more credit, but selfishly I like how they always have a seat and no wait. Lol

Ordered the noodle soup, braised duck, pan fried oyster cake and fried rice. For the price, portions are great, specially the noodle soup. 3 of us shared a bowl and still couldn’t finish it. Oyster cake tasted great but was too starchy. I’d recommend this place as their dishes are pretty authentic.

Authentic and umami tastes of Chaoshan cuisine, with an unbelievable large portion of beef noodle bowl for one person. Indeed valuable for the price. One must pay a visit if you are around the town! I also found many Cantonese spoken folks (young or prime) are dining in here.

Excellent food, and the taste is perfect, just like the name. The service is fast and friendly. Had been a repeat customer for the past 6 months.

Best Chao Zhou food I ever tried in SF
Their Chao Zhou Pan Fried Oyster Cake is very good! crispy on the outside, with plump, juicy oysters
The Chao Shan Beef & Beef Ball Flat Noodle Soup is a must try! The handmade beef balls are so bouncy and flavorful, and those flat noodles soaked up all the rich, savory broth.
Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Chaozhou and Chaoshan dishes.

The Qiang silk chicken rice is all about chicken skin and top-notch wings, outrageous!
