New Ming’s is my family’s favorite Chinese restaurant in SF of all time!
I was in town for a week and I went there three times.
潮色豆腐 ie Tofu with Shrimp + Chicken is our favorite dish, but honestly every dish here is very good.
This is an oasis in the middle of SOMA.
The waitress is very kind and attentive. I’d highly recommend this to everyone.

Beef fried rice. What ever little beef i found was just fat cuts mixed with pork. Just a pile of very wet oily rice

Stopped in because it was on the way back to the office and I didn't want to make the side trip to Chinatown. I ordered BBQ pork wonton ho fun. The five wontons didn't have the bouncy chew and it was mostly pork - no shrimp. The broth was lifeless and the noodles was on the light side - not much. The pork was plentiful - surprisingly - but a bit dry. For the veggie in the soup, spinach. It took longer to come out of the kitchen than I expected. I have a light appetite these days and the dish was filling but not satisfying. When I had a bigger appetite, this would not have been enough. With tax, it was over $18 - OUCH.
The vibe of the place is plain. The food in the warmers looked tasty and their menu had a decent amount of options from the kitchen. If you're in a hurry, just select items from the warmers. The staff was friendly. There was a self serve water spigot.
If this place was out in the mid-west, I might go back to try other items, but with so much competition in the area for the same cuisine, I probably won't go back based on my order.

The place was almost empty, that should have been a sign for me to leave without buying anything, but I went against my instincts.
I asked if the house fried rice and kung pao chicken were good, they said very good... They lied.
The food was very disappointing. Never again.

Cute little chinese fare in san francisco! Definitely a more hole in the wall than a big restaurant.
There were only 2 patrons around 1 pm on a saturday, which was initially concerning, but i’m so glad I gave it a chance. All the food is very fairly priced and portion sizes are very reasonable.
Boring order, but I got the sweet and sour chicken rice plate. It had a large portion of rice, a ton of sauce, a bunch of cooked pineapple and bell peppers. The chicken was absolutely amazing! It was the perfect amount of crispy and piping hot, which was what I needed after walking the city all morning.
I didn’t get to try anything else, but everyone in my party liked their food and i’d definitely recommend giving this unassuming chinese fare place a chance!

Paid $20 for mid Chinese food and they didn’t even let me sit at one of their many free tables to eat it..?

This place has a special place in my heart and when I lived in SF, we would frequent this place quite often for lunch. While they offer the standard fare of combo plates, the real magic comes from the items listed on their extensive menu behind the counters. They make these items fresh and they are incredible. You can also ask for things that may not be listed there as well. Some things I love:Dan Dan Noodle Soup- not your traditional Dan Dan, but this extremely flavorful, rich broth is complemented by chewy noodles, minced pork and fresh spinach.Any of their wonton soupsPorridge is also really tasty and they do it well!The ladies who work here are extremely sweet and really appreciate their hard work. Please support local restaurants and try this place, you won't be disappointed!

Would always go here for lunch when I worked downtown. Now when I'm back in the City I make sure to stop by for Beef & Egg and/or beef chow fun.
