Location is convenient when grocery shopping in area. There is constantly a long wait to order food, let alone getting food once ordered, despite counting 5 staff in kitchen area during the lunch hour. Place was not even 75% full. Boss ordered a beef brisket wonton Fun noodle soup and I ordered the bitter melon with pork ribs over rice. You would thing that the soup would come out first since most of the key ingredients are already prepared. Wrong assumption. The rice dish came first but a vast majomajority of the bitter melon was raw and the ribs were way too big. This place has been opened for years and there appears to be no improvement in terms of service and quality. Too bad.

Hong Kong cafe - San Francisco's best, with a more upscale yet casual atmosphere, great service (ok that part isn't always so authentic) and menu that rivals War & Peace. You could have every meal here for a month and never eat the same thing! And be happy doing it

Food is pretty good, service is decent but if they are busy, service can be slow. There is no ambiance. It's a family restaurant so it can be a tad noisy. Overall, it's a good place for a quick bite and leaving with a smile!!

Came with the family on Christmas Day for a quick lunch. Your typical fast casual HK style cafe, service was very curt and can come off as rude but that's normal for cafes like this. But the food was definitely what redeemed the review. Milk tea was just the right amount of sweetness and beef brisket noodle soup had tons of flavor. Just wished they included more meat in the soup.

We stumbled in here on Clement while wandering around because it was filled with older Asian people and that's usually a pretty good sign. Service was fine, not particularly efficient but not terrible either. They seated us right away but it got pretty busy as we were dining there.The menu is very extensive, there are a million things on there and even more written in Chinese on the wall. While it is a cha chaan teng, I didn't end up ordering the usual western influenced dishes but went with some classics. The food was lightly seasoned and that was perfect for me - some people might find it needs more.Dried scallop & egg white fried rice: this is my favorite kind of fried rice and shockingly hard to find in the city. This was a really good version - it had some wokhei and every grain was separated and not too hard. I was really glad I ordered this.Garlic sauteed water spinach: perfectly cooked and not too greasy.Salt pepper pork ribs: nicely seasoned and crispy! The vegetables with it were weirdly cold but the pork was served hot. Felt like they just added the vegetables at the end and they were precooked.This place delivers on Cantonese food that is decent and has enough dishes that you can come back frequently not get bored. Prices are on the higher side but the quality is decent.

Stoners paradise; “kitchen sink” entrees. They simply throw anything they can find in a pan, stir fry it w/ butter, eggs, various sauces, cheese pastes, etc.A splurge item for sure but you’ll still need to go to confession after.

Ordered the baked pork chop with spaghetti through DoorDash and man was it looking sad and tragic. The food was over cooked, burnt, and extremely dry. They package it well I will say that.

Place is clean and decent. Food is very good at a reasonable price. I like the big brother most. Guilin rice noodles is mediocre, the rice noodle doesn’t taste original. But they’re raising the price, I wish that won’t be a huge raise.

2 times in a row. 2 different days. 1st mistake was corrected and was taken care of by a nice lady. 2nd experience was horrible. Ordered from uber eats. Specifically picked rice. Gave me noodles the first time. Picked rice this time again on a different plate and they gave me French fries instead. Called in and they don't understand...and tried to turn it around like i was at fault, getting defensive and started talking smack. It clearly says choose either rice or fries. wonder if they even look at the options customers pick? Plenty of other restaurants to go to. On to the next one.
