You know its good when the menu is not readable. Great place, about 20-25 bucks per person.
Cash only, really good. I recommend pork ribs
Anytime my boyfriend and I go to San Francisco, we always make a stop at this restaurant. This is truly a hidden gem for Chinese food. The restaurant is definitely a hole-in-the-wall, but the food is absolutely worth the visit. You don't come here for a fancy dining experience—you come for the incredible food, and it more than makes up for the simple service.
The restaurant is run by just one person, and despite handling everything himself, he keeps things moving...read full review

J&M A-1 Cafe is a charming restaurant run by a hardworking Chinese uncle who handles all aspects of the operation, from greeting customers to cooking and serving the food efficiently. The food is described as delicious and comforting, with the menu offering traditional Cantonese dishes. The atmosphere is homey and unpretentious, making it a reliable choice for late-night Chinese cravings. The chef's humorous and kind personality adds to the welcoming environment. The restaurant is pet friendly, and the portions are large with very reasonable prices. Some of the best Chinese food includes the sesame chicken and general tsos chicken, though you should skip the Mongolian beef. Service is reasonably quick but you might have to wait a bit during busy hours. Keep in mind it is cash only.
