Seriously I am born and raised Cantonese, and it’s the best and most authentic clay pot rice I’ve ever had. My top one clay pot rice in the US

The food was incredible but our server was so rude, I felt as though I had offended her by being there.

The food at this restaurant offers the best value for money in San Francisco, and it’s also delicious.

I'm very disappointed with this place. There's no organized system for waiting in line, and it feels especially unfair if you're not Chinese. We waited in line by the door for 20 minutes, but people who arrived after us cut ahead, and the staff did nothing about it. As soon as tables became available, some people rushed forward, claimed they were first, and were seated—no questions asked.

It seemed like the staff only communicated with Chinese-speaking customers and prioritized them. If you don’t speak Chinese or act aggressively, it’s almost impossible to get a table. The servers were unhelpful and didn’t assist us at all. Overall, a terrible experience and poor service.

this place is easily the best restaurant in Chinatown. Their claypot rice is so authentic and tasty, and so cheap as well at 13 bucks. They really do care about what they put out, unlike most of the other lousy places around

I can't understand how they charge. My friend and I ordered two eel claypot rice and one salted fish meat pie claypot rice, both small portions. They cost $15.50 and $12.00 respectively, totaling $43, $46.71 with tax, but the waiter asked us to pay $50. We didn't get a receipt, don't know how they charge. If you can, please avoid this shop, their hygiene is just average, greasy feeling everywhere.

Really great clay pots with plenty of delicious crispy rice. The ox tail was also very tasty. The eel clay pot was a little wormy for some of us but still tasty. Again, the star is the crispy rice.

Has gotten somewhat popular so we had to wait quite a while. Not much room for a stroller.

Very good rice pot. The rice crust is very beautiful and does not stick to the pot.

Yummy! The meat is so tender (beef and chicken).

Only complaint is the small space — if you go with a small party, you may end up with eating with other people on the same table

Clay pot was good

Really nice clay pot rice dish, authentic, affordable, while the atmosphere is lagging but understandable.

It is not as good as it looks.

Vegetarian options: Pictures look good and clean, in reality it is not. It is quite a small place. Food is not as tasty as advertised. Price is reasonable though

This classic hole-in-the-wall is my go-to spot for clay pot rice! The crispy crust on the bottom layer of rice, combined with the sweet soy sauce drizzled on top, creates a rich, aromatic blend of flavors and textures.
