i got the bbq lovers chicken rice plate for 15 bucks, and they flew past all expectations for both flavor and portions. the chicken was cooked well and had a nice grilled flavor. it came with fresh chopped vegetables and rice. definitely a repeater for me!

Clean, friendly, good food. Food lacks the traditional Asian-American flavor punch, but the quality of the proteins and veggies is great. Went here 5x in one month!

Awesome General Tso's - maybe the best I've had. Sauce was not super sweet (unlike usual.) Service was quick and pleasant. Environment felt super clean and airy.Dietary restrictions: I am allergic to peanuts/sesame and the restaurant was fully accommodating.

We had the lemongrass chicken with garlic noodles and combo chow mein.. Took off one star for being a little oily. Would like to try them again. Wife and I prefer less salt but generally I say the quality is good.

If you like lots of MSG in everything you eat you’re going to love this place! Granted the products are fresh but the sauces taste like they are commercially bought and not from scratch. We ordered several dishes and the dishes were plentiful and the prices were a good value. Just so much MSG in everything! The atmosphere is stark and kind of cold. Service was good and attentive. The place was clean and well kept.

Rainy day Saturday and looking for a spot close by. We scanned Papa's Kitchen's menu in the window and they had lunch specials until 4pm. The server was sweet and brought menus and water immediately. We settled on Mapo Tofu, Sweet & Sour Pork and fresh Vietnamese Grilled Pork Rolls.Portions were generous though the Mapo Tofu lacked heat as promised by the chili pepper next to its listing. If you order it, ask if they can add Szechuan peppercorns.The other dishes were solid, we split family style and I called dibs on the second to last cold pork roll that had fresh pea sprouts poking out of the roll, delicious.The restaurant was clean with a large dining room including a counter if you want to slurp your pho and look out at Haight Street.I would definitely return or do take out from this spot.

We walked in with a big group around 8pm on New Year's Eve and they sat us down immediately! They closed at 9 but didn't rush us and had fast service. We ordered a bunch of staples including eggplant, cucumber salad, stir fried veggies, and chow mein noodles. It was all delicious, sizable, and reasonably priced! The staff was so kind & they were hard at work, and not even some side eye or a sigh about us coming in a little under an hour before they closed up shop. I'm definitely coming back here anytime I'm craving some tasty, oily Chinese food!
This is a quaint place with great food at low cost. If you are in the vicinity go for it !!!

I went with a friend and we were denied service because we wanted to share a bowl of pho. The server looked at us and said “No,” and walked away without explanation.

Finally a great Asian place in the Haight . Basil chicken, pineapple prawn fried rice and chow mein are worth mentioning. It's a clean little restaurant with great seating that can accommodate a large party. Great for a family outing or a lunch date. Menu was easy to read, clean, and the woman working the front was helpful making suggestions.
Good food and price ??
