Noodles in San Francisco, CA

“Found this spot recently and I’m already hooked! We tried the combo (rice rolls, siu mai, curry fish balls) and teriyaki chicken egg rice - everything was delicious and super authentic. Perfect if you’re craving real Hong Kong flavors! Service was incredibly warm and friendly too.

Oh and they had super cute HK themed merch you could purchase as well - egg tart towel, packaged noodle towel, egg tart magnets, etc.

Such a hidden gem, def worth a visit!“

“I'm a different person now (positive). There were probably ~65 people in front of us waiting in line to get in and we waited for about 50 minutes. Respectfully? Incredibly worth the wait. My group got a few different bowls and honestly couldn't pick a fave - they were all so so so complex and delicious. TRULY chefs kiss 🤌. Also, the vegan tantanmen absolutely rocked our worlds. As meat eaters, we were so pleasantly surprised by the richness of flavors omg?!“

“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.“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“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.“

“I went here for the first time and it was an amazing experience. The food was incredible , especially the pho. The broth was so rich and flavorful, it really stood out.

What impressed me just as much as the food was the service. Our server carried the hot bowl of pho like it was nothing , I touched it for a second and it was really hot, so I was honestly amazed!

The staff made us feel so welcome and taken care of. Our server was very attentive, and even the manager came by to check on us, helped fix our plates, and made sure everything was perfect. That level of care made us feel really special.“

“Daeho Kalbijjim & Beef Soup in San Francisco is a standout for authentic Korean comfort food, especially their signature premium kalbijjim—a massive, shareable braised short rib dish packed with deep, rich flavor that’s easily enough for more than two people and well worth the slightly higher price; the bibimbap is also solid, though the meat portion can feel a bit underwhelming even when paying extra, but overall it remains a go-to spot for hearty, satisfying Korean cuisine in SF.“

“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 famous for a reason—the food is absolutely delicious. Their signature dry fried chicken is crispy, flavorful, and addictive. Every dish is made with care and served hot and fresh. The restaurant is busy, but the service is efficient and well-organized. Definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants in the USA.“

“Came here after seeing a video about it on Instagram. I think it has the best tsukemen I’ve had outside of Japan! The gravy/soup part is actually served super hot and is tasty. The normal tonkotsu ramen is also decorous. I liked the cucumber appetizer with some kind of chili garlic onion topping - refreshing and a nice starter to a heavy carb meal that follows.“

“The best wonton soup out of all places in the Bay Area. Their broth and wontons are super special which I guess because of their secret seasoning. It also comes with broccoli, which is so different from other places with cheap lettuce. The staff are nice.“

“This place is fantastic. Good was amazing, top quality, flavourful. I had the beef udon with chicken & pork miso broth, and it was amazing. Perfect portion, I leave completely full and happy!
The noodles were excellent, and the beef was extremely soft and tender. The vegetables had a nice crunch even though they were in broth.
Also had chicken karaage, very very good, crunchy, soft and flavourful chicken, and their tempura batter for vegetables is extremely light and airy, great for not feeling too greasy.
There seemed to be only one server, and man was working double time, not much waiting at all.
Would definitely come back again!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I'm just trying places that are supposed to have good hot and sour soup. The one here is vegetarian with strong sour flavor. I like the addition of seafood mushrooms to it. The white pepper flavor is strong. It's pretty good and priced at about $9.50 +tax for a 2 quart container that is not quite full.“

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

“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!“

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

“So good! They have many different combinations of dumpling fillings. We went with the three treasures, and the mushroom & chicken filling, one with soup and one without, they were both so good. The soup that it comes with is filled with seaweed, and a light savory broth. I highly suggest adding vinegar to the broth to bring out the flavor even more. And you make your own dipping sauce at the table for your dumplings as well.

Service was great, and the food came out quickly. Plenty of seating, with wall decorations.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I went to this restaurant on the recommendation of the woman at the front desk of the hotel Zetta. I started with the turmeric dill catfish sandwich and fresh salad.

I made the mistake of not reading the menu carefully and ate half a jalapeño before I realized the temperature wasn’t the only heat.

The waitress gave me a Thai iced tea on the house to help me with the spice. I also had a banana pudding with peanut topping pie for the sweetness.

Once I learned that the green pepper was a jalapeño, I took it out of the second half and finished the sandwich fine.

I sat by the window and watched over a dozen scooter drivers in helmets pick up delivery orders while I was there. That reminded me of Spider-Man delivering pizzas on the back of his bike in the city.

Considering the prime location, the prices are very reasonable.“

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

“I used to eat at their An the Go trucks back in college and suddenly had craving for their noodles and beef. Thought id finally make the trip to their restaurant. Althought pricing May be on the expensive side, the service and taste is spectacular. Food is serve just a few minutes after ordering and their wait staff is very attentive. Just watch for the receipt as service charge is already included.“

“Very good pho. The pho broth was very flavorful even before I added the herbs. The noodles were all broken apart, but not too bad. We also tried the fried wings with fish sauce. It's sweet, crunchy, and tasty, but the wings were kinda small.“

“friendly service and tasty food“

“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.“

“Really beautiful place, wait staff were very kind. My husband and I were originally planning on going somewhere else but were just so enticed by the ambience of the restaurant that we decided to eat here instead. Soup, Thai tea, and pad woo sen were lovely. Definitely recommend :)“

“Cozy restaurant, can fit a few small parties but the food was solid. We were in the area and were craving Thai food, this def hit the spot. We got the pad see ew and crab fried rice and mango sticky rice. My only wish is the mango was a lil bit bigger lol. If this is any testament to the authenticity of the cuisine, the entire staff was Thai.“

“While visiting San Francisco during the windy day I was craving warm pho soup. We selected a Pho restaurant near our hotel, and we chose the right place. It was one of the best pho dishes we’ve had! I eat pho at least twice a week in Southern California, where there are plenty of choices. However, this was one of the most delicious Pho dishes I’ve had.“

“Awesome Food. Good prices.“

“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.“

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

“I come here about once a week. This place is always busy so put your name down on the waiting list and be prepared to wait 40 minute-80 minutes. The servers are attentive. Food comes out quick and the quality is consistently good. Seating can be tight. Get the deluxe ramen for the pork belly!“

“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!“

“What a great find! Generous portions, friendly and cheerful service, fairly quick service, and very, very reasonably priced! The salt-pepper prawns were large and perfectly crisp. Dumplings were large and full of filling. Dry green beans were a hit with the teens and my husband! And pan-fried noodles had plenty of beef and vegetables. Will definitely return to this restaurant the next time we visit SF.“

“Thai Nghiep Ky Mi Gia is a fantastic spot for authentic and flavorful food. The dishes are always fresh, rich in taste, and consistently satisfying.

Service is impressively fast, even when it’s busy, and everything comes out hot and well prepared. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable, which makes it an even better value.

If you’re looking for delicious food, quick service, and affordable prices, this place is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended.“

“January 2026:
Ordered food to go through Uber Eats. First time trying this place. Was very pleased with my lunch.

Had the chicken pho and the soup was very tasty 😋. Good combo of noodles and chicken.

Also had the chicken cabbage salad and thought it was delicious. Would order that again.

Also tasted the papaya shrimp salad and the tofu banh mi. Both were good. Will definitely come back again. Will try dining in next time.“

“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!“

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

“👍👍🍜🍜 good Udon place in SFO 👍👍“

“We tried the Hu Tieu and Cha Gio, and both were delicious. The Cha Gio was perfectly crispy, and I especially loved it with their flavorful fish sauce. The Hu Tieu portion was huge, with a clear, transparent broth that was surprisingly rich and full of flavor.

I also really enjoyed the fresh orange juice, it wasn’t overly sweet and tasted very refreshing. The Thai tea was decent, though nothing particularly special. The service was okay, and the restaurant had a nice, quiet atmosphere when we visited around 3–4 PM, making it a relaxing and chill place to enjoy a meal.

Overall, a great experience, and I’d definitely come back again!“

“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.“

“It’s my go-to everytime I’m in SF! Delicious, traditional noodle recipes. It always hits home. I love that most of the customers are long term neighbors, people that might have moved away but always came back to this place for some delicious food and memories!!

Give it a try!!“

“This is my first time trying this place. I arrived at 10 and it wasn't that busy yet. I ordered 4 different types or rice rolls, preserved duck egg congee and soy milk to go for $45. I tried one of the rice rolls and the soy mil before leaving. I enjoyed the food so much! I like how they have a small sauce station where you can add different sauces and sesame seeds.

I can eat rice rolls several times a week. Looks like this will be one of our regular spots!“

“We loved this place. Great atmosphere, loved the lamps and the food. The spring rolls were amazing. The sticky Brussels sprouts were so good and the flavor was complex.

Also, lots of gluten free options with the spring rolls etc.“

“Great Chinese restaurant. The chow mein was full of meats, and the noodles were a great texture. The sesame chicken was so lightly breaded and fresh, great flavor. And the Mongolian beef was extremely flavorful. One of our favorites in the Castro.“

“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.“
