Had braised ox tail w/ red wine sauce with rice. Only had 4 small pieces of ox tail and 5 small pieces of carrots. The wine tasted like sweet and sour sauce. The ox tail was tough. Cost $14.75. Never coming back again.

Tak Kee Lee (德記)🫡 – “Sampan Congee 艇仔粥”is conveniently located on Noriega Street near 32nd Avenue along Muni Line 7 (“Haight/Noriega”) in Sunset District that opens at 8 am daily except Thursdays. This small hole-in-the-wall restaurant serves the best congee in The City; and its service and cooking methods inhv authenticates its diligence and dedication to average working-class customers all year round without inflating price if not downsizing quantity hence ruining quality in the midst of “post-pandemic new normals.” [*得卽德也。One must possess moral qualities and dispositions(德:two persons to the left ten eyes to stare on the right top with heart on right bottom😠) before gainfully succeed(得:two persons on the left turtle (wealth) on right top one hand to grab the wealth on right bottom.)😉]
The name of Sampan Congee 艇仔粥” comes from small boats in the Delta of Pearl River 荔枝湾 area in Guangzhou (Canton) called sampan where in the early 20th century fishmen started selling creamiest rice porridge later became iconic HK cuisine by mixing up both fresh and dried seafood, bits of the famous Cantonese roasted duck, crunchy peanuts, crisp and chewy fried Chinese doughnut sticks (Youtiao 油条)(“oil fried ghost “ You Zha Gui 油炸鬼) in Cantonese. 😂[*人所歸爲鬼.Chinese are not racist by calling you “ghost” whether white, black, or little because it simply means one to be buried after death in the earth. Period.]
The traditional cooking methos is free style or “un tiro libre” but the following are included: ❶creamy rice congee cooked in ideally boiling salty pork bone soup ❷thousand-year-old preserved egg Pidan (皮蛋) ❸ dried squid (乾魷魚) deep fried fish maw “Buche” (炸魚肚) Chicharrónes
(猪皮)jellyfish (海蜇)or Cantonese roasted duck(烤鴨)❹ fresh water grass carp (鯇魚)❺shredded fresh ginger and scallions ❻a few fried peanuts on top middle.
Enjoy! (PS Don’t forget to dip your doughnut sticks in the creamy congee then suck on it. Yummy!😉)

Food sucked, very cheap and got diarrhea after.

Restaurant very dirty. Kitchen and dining room very dusty despite being busy.

Spoons just rinsed, not properly washed.

Saw no signs of health inspection either...

The place seems dirty as I could see from the floor, counter, bowls, and spoons. No wonder why I got stomachache in the middle of my meal.
The place is extremely narrow. They only accept CASH or Venmo and still charge you tax.
No one speaks English, only Cantonese.

Parking: Do not get the daily lunch combo, small portion and food either too salty or tasteless. Order from regular menu get your money worth.

Hearty and nostalgic place for Hong Kong style breakfast.We got the macaroni soup and preserved veg and noodle soup. Both were good portions and came with a good amount of meat. However the hong kong milk tea was lacking…tasted like it was made with soy milk.Great bang for your buck. Would go again, i might just order a different drink

If you are closed on Thursdays then put it online otherwise people waste their time coming to your restaurant for nothing. Online it shows you are open.

Came here with the in-laws and had lunch. Foods good and it gets packed. Make sure to get here early and if you’re ordering some oven baked items, it might take a while. Def still a gem for the price it is, cash only.I enjoyed my won ton lo mien and iced lemon coke. We also ordered curry oxtail rice, baked oxtail over rice, and baked pork chop.Just a lot of people enjoying their lunch and watching the tv that they have there. Sunday football ???.10/10 I’m Chinese so I’d come back again.- iG@BlackTigerEats
