Noodles in San Francisco, CA

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“Worth the hype. So crazy good. I got the signature toripaitan and the wagyu tantanmen
I prefer the signature, it was so luscious and well seasoned. Really amazing

The noodles are out of this world level good. So bouncy and flavoruful and catches the broth.“

“LetsSweet Kitchen is a Hong Kong chaan Teng restaurant in San Francisco South the market neighborhood, across the street from the Porsche dealer. We were in the area and decided to give them a try. Highly rated at 4.9 on Google, 4.7 on Yelp.

The place is clean, Service, friendly and food solid. Prices are higher than Chinatown, of course. Parking is a lot easier here. If you're in the neighborhood and want some Hong Kong style Chinese food, this is a good bet. If you're intimidated by Chinatown, this is a great place to go.

Food Picks:
Brad beef brisket rice with four piece wonton ($22.99) is a special during lunch and includes a drink. Ample quantity and good wontons and sold braised brisket flavor. The Hong Kong milk tea was strong and not too sweet. 8.5/10

Black pepper pork chop and onion over rice ($16.85) had reasonable quantity and was cooked just fine. The sauce was on the peppery side. 8.5/10.

Overall - Very Good

“This place absolutely rules, everything I’ve ever had here has been great. I’d highly recommend the grilled meats, especially the pork - it had a wonderful charred flavor and crispy edges without being at all dried out. Will be coming back again and again.“

“the Thai soup with the prawns in it I like mine spicy“

“Every item we ordered was magical. Absolutely loved all their small tapas style dishes, scallops, yam, pork belly, chicken, beef. Scallop and sweet shrimp (ebi) handrolls were great. Fine dessert choice as well. Get there early as there was quickly a line out the door with 20-30 minute waits throughout the night after we arrived.“

“really friendly staff and great eats! we will be back to work through the entire menu!“

“Very yummy experience - would recommend the beef noodle soup, onion and egg pancake, and cucumber salad. Noodle portions are huge and food comes out quickly. We went on a Saturday at noon and were seated immediately, ladies serving us were very sweet. Note that it’s cash only. Highly recommend, we will be back!“

“San Tung is definitely worth the visit! Their famous chicken wings absolutely lived up to the hype—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated with a perfectly balanced sweet and garlicky sauce. Every bite was delicious! The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. The restaurant was busy, but the service was efficient, and the food came out fresh. If you’re in San Francisco, this place is a must-try. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Really good 小笼包. Chinese owned, operated and staffed. You’re getting the real deal here. Beef noodles were pretty decent too. One thing I like is that unlike most Chinese eateries - the MSG here isn’t too strong. Pig ear salad were alright, could do with a bit more kick in flavour. Overall - a great meal and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for good Chinese food.“

“This was phenomenal. The soup broth was SO flavorful and the egg looked like it was birthed by a golden chicken. Seriously incredible. My only qualm is that they don’t let you adjust the toppings. I personally don’t like pork but was unable to switch it out for another type of meat. Other than that, seriously great ramen. Server was super nice as well and the vibes were great.“

“Pho 2000 is a no-nonsense hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese spot that is not especially fancy or polished, but it is serving up piping hot, flavorful bowls of pho that absolutely hit the spot. The staff were all super friendly and very prompt with things like water, tea, and bussing dirty plates and bowls, which I really appreciated.

I ordered the #3, the beef pho with rare steak, well-done flank, tendon, and tripe. I tried the broth on its own first and it had a nice depth of flavor before I added my usual dashes of hoisin and sriracha. I also ordered the rare steak on the side since I hate when it gets overcooked, and it was a good test of how hot the soup was when the slices started to turn that perfect light pink gradually as it continued to simmer in the broth.

I liked the pieces of tendon and tripe that were in the bowl, but honestly there could have been a lot more of both since those are some of my favorite bites of pho. The goi cuon, or shrimp and pork spring rolls, were pretty standard and decently fresh, though I'm not sure I'd order them again given the price as they were effectively 2 long rolls cut into 6 pieces for over $10.

Overall, this is a great spot if you're just looking to scratch a quick pho fix and happen to be in the neighborhood.“

“This place was great! Our table shared the pork xiao long bao, crispy dumplings, Dan Dan noodles, and cucumber salad. Everything tasted delicious. We had a bit of a wait outside the restaurant along with other groups and the restaurant was pretty much full, so I suspect it’s usually busy!“

“Went with a party of 12 and joined the waitlist early so we were able to get seated pretty quick! Our table ordered one kalbijim medium spicy with cheese and one mild kalbijim. Between the two we liked the medium spicy with cheese a lot more since we thought the mild one a little too sweet.

Meat was super tender and so were the veggies, and it paired very nicely with the purple rice! Wish they had more variety for their side dishes but rly delicious over all, just a little pricy!“

“Delicious Yunnan-style rice noodles paired with genuinely friendly service! The popcorn chicken is a highlight - lightly battered, juicy, and packed with flavor (and the portion size is generous for the price). The milk tea is excellent too - you can really taste the tea flavor.“

“The food is really good, when we got there we didn’t need to wait at all and I never liked Asian food but I gave that place a chance and I really loved it and I ate a lot of things and the waitress ate really nice and the food doesn’t take long to get served!!This is the best Asian spot in California!“

“Dropped in for late lunch. Quick service, great food.“

“Had the tea tree salad, coconut paratha, and chicken garlic noodles. Everything was delicious. This place is much better than some of the more well known Burmese restaurants in SF. The service was very friendly and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Will definitely be back!“

“forgot to take pic of dumplings but got the Napa cabbage and pork dumpling ($12.99 for 14 dumplings) which is such a killer price! Love how you can tell the dumplings are house made (the dumpling dough is chewy and comes out steaming) and goes so well with soy sauce and chili oil.“

“It’s been a while since my family and I came here for lunch. The food is still very delicious and was craving these yummy dishes. The Shanghai noodles and the xiao long bao are a top favorite! The spicy wontons with chili oil were pretty good. It’s not that spicy at all. So if your spicy tolerance isn’t too high, it’s a good choice. The staff were very friendly and the food came pretty fast.“

“Food very tasty n freshly made quick service friendly staff“

“Delicious crab and garlic noodles! I think the garlic noodles at this point have become pretty standard and these tasted good, but also similar to garlic noodles I've had elsewhere. The crab was quite tasty with a very fragrant garlic pepper butter that made me want to lick my fingers, and I did.“

“Loved this place! Great food and great service! We ordered the mapo tofu, mushu vegetables, and chicken with string beans. Everything tasted great and came out quickly. I highly recommend coming here. There are lots of vegetarian options too.“

“The fried rice was perfectly seasoned with that amazing, authentic wok-flavor, and the Tom Kha soup was incredible—rich, creamy, and beautifully balanced with just the right amount of lemongrass and tang. We also tried the sukiyaki, which was packed with fresh ingredients and had a deeply comforting taste.
​To top off the amazing food, the service was outstanding. Our waiter was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night without ever being intrusive.“

“Best bahn xeo I have tried in a long time! Better that Madame Vo’s in NYC, which until today was my favor In the US. A smiling waiter wanted to make sure that I knew how to eat it. Thank you! ♥ Informal but nice environment.“

“Some of the best pho I've ever had, especially the broth of the beef pho. The service was also great: dishes came out quickly and the people there were very friendly. There was some homelessness nearby, but the walk down from California street wasn't too bad early in the day. Certainly one of my new favorite spots in SF. We look forward to returning soon.“

“friendly service and tasty food“

“I called in about 30 minutes before they were closing. The gentleman on the phone was very polite and professional, he gave me a few recommendations, and even though I don’t eat raw meat, he offered to cook it completely instead. I tried so many soups like this and can definitely say that it was one of the best pho soups I’ve tried in my life. Soooo good! Definitely recommending to try ! Thank you for great service and tasty soup.“

“This palce is a certain of community and history on Bernal Heights. Old friends come in to greetings of hugs and kisses from the staff. New patrons are welcomed in almost equal fashion! The food and vibe is hearty and made with love. No Reservations. Come over, put you name down, but you can enjoy wine or beer from a freat ludt inside or outsides as you wait. Shhh!!! Don't tell anyone else.“

“Awesome Food. Good prices.“

“All the food is delicious and the place is nice and cozy. I would highly recommend for anyone willing to try Thai food in the area.

There was this ‘chili dipped in oil‘ which was included as a side along with hot sauce. We liked it so much that we ordered just the chili sauce. They were planning to sell this as a packaged food in near future and we happened to be the first customers for that item.“

“Very possibly the best banh mi and hue rolls I've ever had. And I've been an avid Vietnamese food eater for 15 years in NYC and have been all over Vietnam.

5 spice chicken banh mi was insanely good, but also anything with the pork shoulder is gonna be great. Could have passed on the shrimp & pork spring rolls.“

“Came with family, I wasn’t too hungry so I ordered the shrimp bites, however, my family member gave me a taste of their ramen and OH ITS THE BEST RAMEN IVE EVER HAD! I need to come here when I’m super hungry to have my own bowl. Delicious!!!“

“Best Thai restaurant in San Francisco, Ca. Food was delicious!“

“This is the best dumpling place I’ve had in SF. Everything you need from delicious dim sums, to the chicken dishes, to fried rice, all just perfection. They are very reasonably priced and they have this fun game that you can play at the end to get a free meal. Also, the chilli oil is the best I’ve had ever!“

“The braised duck was absolutely delicious, the bone just falls off the meat. Egg noodles are al dente and a bit of alkaline and the soup is salty enough to be paired with a bite of noodles. Pickled veg was refreshing. The satay beef dish was ok, wouldn't recommend. Wontons were ok, would come back just for the duck!

Make sure you get here early.“

“Ordered chicken pho. Loved the broth flavor and noodle texture. Also, I appreciated the smart packaging very much for a takeout order. They serve noodles, chicken, onions and cilantro in a bowl and broth in a separate container. You can pour the broth into a bowl and it's ready to consume!“

“Me and my wife like to come here for breakfast for $10.99 comes with a cold or hot drink milk tea coffee or soy milk hard to beat that in the city and the portion isn't skimpy or small pretty good size for breakfast. We love the beef brisket noodles soup here. I usually get the Guilin beef brisket noodle soup combo it comes with a lot of preserved veggies too.“

“I'm consistently impressed with Suzu. It doesn't draw crowds like the other restaurants, but it's consistently good with fair prices. The $19 curries are massive with two meats. The edamame and tempura are both well-executed. And the chicken katsu is also perfect. Service is always good and works hard to accommodate your group.“

“Solid Chinese yum, not the standard Chinese-American.

Popo Noodles, with rice-wine braised pork belly is savory, soy-based comfort; egg noodles cooked to still-chewy perfection, dressed for flavor but still dry. Pickled Bamboo Shoots add-on, a must, to cut through the light meat fat.

A good option when at Spark Social.“

“Bring cash! Self-seating, so bring someone to save your spot or grab the bar seating against the wall. Order at the counter, your number gets called. Condiments are up front except Sriracha which is at every table.

Came on a Tuesday for a late lunch and it was still packed — clearly social media is driving a lot of tourists here for the rice rolls. Got the Rice Roll Express Roll out of curiosity but wished I'd gone with the Shrimp Feast instead. Not bad, just not my favorite. Also wasn't asked about my optional topping and ended up with cabbage by default, so speak up when ordering.

Would come back to try the Shrimp Feast.“

“We came here because of a pregnancy craving and left very happy. The Beef Rendang was rich and tender, the Yellow Ginger Rice was fragrant, and the Mie Tek Tek had great flavor. Everything was authentic and thoughtfully prepared. The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We had great conversation and felt a connection. You can feel the care in both the food and the service. Highly recommend this Southeast Asian Food restaurant!“

“👍👍🍜🍜 good Udon place in SFO 👍👍“

“Came in for pho. The soup was VERY clean but a bit too lean for my taste. Meat was a bit chewy but the broth was clear and flavorful. Started with the fresh spring rolls and those were very fresh but needed a bit more sauce than what I got. Will go back for other menu items.“

“Great place for home style Cantonese comfort food. Good quality and value. Portion sizes are generous. Service is quick and efficient. Sunday evenings are packed for family dinners. Mid week it was relaxed as locals came and went to grab their takeout or grab a quick dinner. Every dish was spot on. Check out the Crispy Skin Chicken or Curry Beef Stew.“

“An egg noodle shop on Ellis Street in Little Saigon. The braised duck leg noodle soup is the bowl to order, the wontons deserve their following, and the homemade soybean drink is the right thing on the side. Ten to twenty dollars a head, and the taste does not drift between visits, which regulars notice. Thank you for the steady bowls. Five stars.“

“Really enjoyed the Mala spicy fish fillet mixian! The broth was the highlight deep, flavorful, and super comforting. The fish tasted fresh and tender, and the noodles soaked up the flavor really well. The restaurant felt clean and cozy, and the service was friendly. There was no long wait when we went. The prices are reasonable too. Definitely will come back!“

“Just went here our first time on valintines day and although I did not have any noodles we had spicy spring rolls the Katsu chicken and chicken teriyaki skewers and everything tasted so good thin cuts of chicken lots of flavor all under thirty bucks we will definitely be back“

“I highly recommend this small restaurant and its signature Pho: the broth is perfectly seasoned (with extra salt available on the table), it’s packed with meat, and the noodles are excellent. I love soup and would recommend this spot to tourists; the prices are great, and the place is clean and cozy. The fact that locals dine here is the best guarantee of the food's quality.“

“Very authentic Thai food. Casual environment. Love their dessert and the shrimp paste fried rice.“
