Great food for great price. We had spare rib claypot rice, Beef rice noodle roll, and coconut chicken soup. After tip it was less than 50. Everything is tasty, fresh, and has original flavor of its ingredients with minimum condiments needed. This kind of classical style authentic Cantonese restaurants are less and less nowadays, especially for us who live in South Bay. Owner is sweet and friendly. Food came out fast and in a reasonable speed (clay pot rice takes 20mins because it is made to order). Definitely recommend everyone to check out. Will come back for sure.

Best place in SF for clay pot rice, you can add any toppings you like, but we love the chicken, mushrooms, and spare rib. Their rice flour is milled in-house, making for the freshest, silkiest rice rolls (shrimp and Chinese donut). Be sure to order those too!

My husband and I just moved to this neighborhood and have been wanting to try this place. So happy we came here, it’s a solid spot for some tasty comfort food. We got the spare rib and the chicken mushroom clay pot rice. Both clay pot dishes were really tasty and the rice came out nice and crispy with a good sauce to pair with it. The lady who seated us was very friendly and attentive. We’ll definitely be back and will try more things on the menu!

The meatloaf, spareribs and salted fish clay pot is really tasty, just wish the pot is a little bigger, so tasty.
They have a weekday deal from 11am- 8pm on chicken or meatloaf clay pot rice for $11.99 a savings of $4.

Everything was great. I'm no expert, but their sticky rice seems to be very different from average, and much better.

Super friendly service. The food is great. The stir-fried beef rice noodle (gong chow au hor) is excellent. The noodles tasted very fresh and tender. The lady that served us told us the rice noodles and steamed rice rolls (chiang fun) are house made in the kitchen. The clay pot rice are very good too. Though be patient and prepare to wait because it is made to order. I forgot the leftovers when we left. The super friendly lady that served us chased us down a block away. Really going above and beyond. Thank you!

The food did not taste good.Only one waitress there. There was only one person serving the customers. She needs more help. I had to ask for my rice 3 times. The food took along time.The chicken claypot rice had no flavor.It was just rice,chicken and one piece of mushroom and bok choy.They did not put any seasoning on the food.They just dump the food in the claypot and cooked it. The porridge was very thick with no flavor.

Rude Service and Language Barrier!!!!
My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. I ordered a dish that was nothing like what was described on the menu. When I tried to address the issue with the waitress, she was not only unhelpful but also rude and did not speak English well, making communication nearly impossible. To make matters worse, the elderly lady next to me had a similar experience and was also poorly treated. This lack of professionalism and customer care is unacceptable. I won’t be returning, and I suggest you think twice before dining here.
For breakfast, lunch or dinner, ordering a lunch box is enough. There is also free soup. The healthy soup without MSG is very satisfying. I recommend the pork ribs cured rice or yellow eel cured rice or beef and egg rice. They are very delicious. There are also porridge and rice rolls. The snacks are very delicious. If you eat them at home alone, with a pot of rice and a bottle of beer, you will feel super satisfied and delicious.
For breakfast, lunch or dinner, it is enough to order a lunch box, as well as free soup, healthy soup without monosodium glutamate, which is very satisfying. It is recommended that pork ribs preserved rice or yellow eel preserved rice or beef and egg rice are very delicious, and porridge, rice rolls and snacks are very delicious. If you eat at home alone, a pot of rice and a bottle of beer, you will feel super satisfying.

Coming into San Francisco, getting some delicious Dim Sum was certainly a priority. Sun Maxim’s did not disappoint! There was such a great variety of food, which was all incredible. Xiao long Bao was served in what looked like miniature pie tins which was adorable, and made for a very unique presentation. Shrimp dumplings and bbq pork buns were also spectacular. Street parking was very accessible as well, with smart meters that just made everything easy.

Such good food and the woman who was running everything were super fast, friendly, welcoming, and attentive. What more could I ask for with delicious food! The shrimp ? dumplings are my favorite. I love the soup dumplings as well. The pork buns were fresh and tasty, and the shumai was on point.
