Cantonese Restaurants near South San Francisco, CA

“Great place to eat dim sum“

“Street parking can be hard but we were lucky to find one not too far away.

It was busy on a Saturday evening with what seems like a lot of regulars. We were a party of 5 and they sat us at a table for 4 and added a chair on the end. Once we ordered, they moved us to a big table. We ordered way too much for 5 people. Ending up taking a lot home.

Everything was very good. Except the veggie was a little too tough/mature. And the mixed mushroom with egg tofu was not mixed mushroom but only one type of mushroom. The egg tofu was very good with the broccoli.

The bbq pork with chicken appetizer was good too. The bbq pork was so juicy and flavorful.

Portions here are very big and prices are reasonable.“

“Eats lot of good food and come out fast“

“點心新鮮熱辣👍👍👍 小菜價錢大衆化👍👍出品普遍色、香、味齊😋😋😋“

“We’ve been heading over to The Night Market for the past few years! The classics are all good, Hainan Chicken, Beef Chow Fun, minced Beef over rice. But if you want to try something unique to The Night Market try the Longan Crispy Pork over rice. I can’t imagine a dish that so uniquely represents the Asian American experience. Finish it off with a mango Sago!“

“Delicious and served with a smile. Great food“

“Awesome Food. Good prices.“

“Amazing! food was one of the best meals I've ever had in my life! Atmosphere is amazing!“

“This was by far the best meal I’ve had in a long time. Every dish was so inventive and delicious! The snap peas w/tofu dressing was light and crunchy. We had a bottle of delicious sparkling tea that tasted like sparkles. The fried rice had corn and cheese and Chinese sausage and WOW was it awesome. Truly every bite was amazing. It was my birthday dinner and they made it so special, brought out an extra dessert and gave truly fabulous service.

The decor feels like a set design, it’s curated but not pretentious. It wasn’t too loud, it was super clean and it’s on a beautiful, picturesque street in SF.

Couldn’t recommend more!!“

“We enjoyed our lunch here!

The food was delicious and had options for pescatarians like me and those who eat everything like my friends.

They were also cautious of the peanut and shellfish allergies at the table.

I would go back for more crispy noodles and veggie dumplings, but the green beans with tofu was my favorite!“

“Great food, can be busy during dinner time. So show up early.“

“食物美味，环境优美，服务很棒，下次再来“

“What a really delightful find- at par with Hong Kong.

Was just walking by and decided to give this place a shot. soo worth it.

Seriously, this is the best wonton noodle soup i have had outside of hong kong.

Even the hot sauce was incredibly traditional, fiery enough to demand your respect, and ready to punish you if not taken seriously. The soup was fragrant, you could taste the freshness of the stock. the dumplings were fresh with firm prawsn in them.
the beef was cooked tender with just enough bite to make things exciting. the noodles were incredibly firm to the bite. omg i want to go back.

definitely worth coming in and trying!“

“Absolutely amazing experience. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was calm and cozy. I recommend the Peking duck and barbecue pork buns, and you can't go wrong with their tea selection either. For four people we were left satisfied with around 7 of their a la carte bun selections.“

“Great food, service, and location. Clean, bright, with large glass windows looking out on Columbus and Broadway. Exceptionally clean bathrooms, which is uncommon in this business, and so definitely got our appreciation! We made reservations, so there was no wait.“

“The taste is very good, I will go there again next time.“

“Great dim sum spot with that classic mom-and-pop vibe. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and served hot with a really nice variety to choose from. Everything we tried was delicious and felt authentic. On top of that, the prices are very affordable, making it an easy place to come back to often. The casual, welcoming atmosphere adds to the experience and makes it feel like a hidden gem. Definitely a great place for quality dim sum without breaking the bank.“

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“早餐very good👍✌， we are going very time.“

“Get the cilantro shrimp dumplings - so good!
Shrimp dumpling (har gao) & pork shumai were good. Not the best I’ve had but still very good, good size, and tasty.
The chive shrimp dumpling was good but not my favorite. The skin was a little thicker than what I liked.
Shrimp rice noodle roll was decent - not as thin as i would have liked.
Cash only. They charge sales tax on top.
There’s only 1 table to sit for 2 people. Highly recommend to grab and go.“

“Our clay pots were delicious (salted fish with diced chicken, and house special lamb stew), with perfectly crusty rice. We like spice, so added a little of their pickled peppers and pickle juice to our clay pots. The pea sprouts we ordered (off menu) were tender, with a little garlic. Appreciated the free tea and soup. Service was friendly and efficient. Basic tables and dinnerware made it feel even more authentic.“

“Great prices, the food you are looking for in Chinatown at a face paced take away only location. Plan for a line, it does move pretty quickly. Gives you time to figure out what you want to order before you get up to the counter. Parking is almost non existing so plan accordingly.“

“My family comes here or does take out once every month or so. Favorites are the char siu and duck which just hits the spot. Service is truly exceptional from being greeted at the door to attentive table service throughout. They are so welcoming to my child and that level of attention and care (consistently) is just so rare these days. Just a wonderful place all around.“

“Great place for dim sum and good service“

“Really impressed with this restaurant in Chinatown we went to today. It had freshly made great Chinese food. Great choices, great service. They even served tea with your meal. Good price. Small restaurant but that’s how they all looked there in Chinatown. I had the General Tsao and it was the best I have ever had. My husband had the hot and sour soup and loved it too. Would highly recommend if you visit Chinatown.“

“Best dim sum in SF. Shark fin dumpling and deep fried pork puff are the best items. Low prices. No seating. To go only. Closes early, at 4 pm.“

“The food is very good and worth tasting“

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“Amazing 100 year ambiance with curtained booths for the prohibition era and trap doors in the floor. The food is amazing and always served with a smile and great taste!“

“Very good food“

“Miła obsługa i bardzo smacznie“

“Really wanted to gatekeep this one but it’s too good not to write a review. Everything about it was exactly what I was looking for. Barely any english, only canto, stern auntie serving you up, cash only, and hefty portions. Got the roasted pork for just $10 and it came with a ton of rice and some cooked cabbage. Pork was so tender and flavorful while the skin added the perfect crunch and fattiness. Cheers to my go to Chinatown.“

“What a fabulous time! Very well done!! Fresh seafood, meats, congee, dessert!!“

“A popular local spot in Chinatown. This place is always packed, you will have to share tables with other people, and almost everyone here speak Chinese, so I think this place is authentic enough. The menu is very very affordable, each noodle soup item costs less than $10, and the most expensive shareable side order only costs $20. This is a steal in San Francisco.
We tried almost every signature dish, like beef brisket, curry fish balls, wonton and steamed pork & liver. Food portion were huge, you have to come here hungry.
My most favorite? Probably wonton and beef brisket. I think it's best to order wonton noodle soup (to get the light & sweet broth) and brisket dry noodles, because beef brisket itself is a bit fat and greasy, so you need something light to pair with it.
Overall, 9/10. Just remember to bring some cash with you when dining here.“

“Every person needs and craves connection everyday. Someone to talk about your favorite show with. Someone to notice your new favorite sweater you put on. At Do Eat, my friends and I walked in expecting to fill our stomachs. Little did we know that our hearts would be filled too. Though some of the staff spoke little English, their smiles and service broke through the language barrier. Our group of 5 was quickly and comfortably accommodated. The food was delicious and the portions so generous as to allow leftovers. The taste of the food is now a only memory, and soon all remnants will be gone from our stomachs. What will not leave is the everlasting connection we made with the beautiful people of Do Eat. Thank you.“

“Best bbq pork, roasted duck, and beef stew in the city. The tea eggs are also super good and savory that we can't get enough of. The staff are super kind, energetic and provide excellent services. My favorite place to come back to everytime i visit the city“

“This is the best freaking Chinese food/dim sum with an amazing price point. MY FAVORITE SPOT!! I used to go to city college and their dim sum would let me get so much food for cheap, and keeping me fed throughout the whole day I would have at school. I love it there and they make everything authentic every morning it’s so bussin.“

“Enjoyed stopping for take out dim sum. They also have a huge selection of prepared Chinese food on the other side of the st, including fresh looking veggies (at 10:15 in the morning)
Enjoyed traditional dim sum, plus a veggie bean curd wrapped treat.
Very inexpensive.“

“Great consistently tasty food. Good selection of both seafood and non seafood items. My family loves celebrating birthdays here.“

“A relax old school dim sum place to enjoy sumptuous good dim sum. A favourite place for the senior regular. They even helped themself to refill the tea. A friendly place if u are familiar with old sch dim sum culture.
Food was big in portion and best of all, they don't charge tax which is very very rare in US.
Service was good by the old lady even though they are busy.
This will be my regular dim sum store whenever I visit San Francisco.“

“I’ve been here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. Both times have been excellent.

I actually think this is my favorite Chinese restaurant in SF thus far. The seafood is live and fresh.

Their desserts are delicious.

The service is also very thoughtful and attentive here.“

“Every time we plan to go to San Francisco for a trip, my dad gets so excited about having a meal at this place because of some really good Chinese food in San Francisco. This is my dad’s cherry on top place in the city.“

“Absolutely fell in LOVE with this place and this will be my go to place for dim sum in SF from now on. I discovered this gem when the line at good mong kok bakery was too long. There seemed to be plenty of locals in the restaurant so I decided to give it a shot. I spent around $40 got plenty of dim sum for the family to go around. The dim sum was hot, plump, and filled with meat!

We tried new moon last time, and was extremely disappointed because it was cold!! Plus, the have seating in the back. We will be coming back here. Bring cash!“

“Our church had an anniversary dinner at Yan Peninsula restaurant yesterday. We have a delightful experience from start to finish. The quality of the food was fresh and tasty. The staffs attentive and friendly. We are enjoying a wonderful evening.“

“We went there for Thanksgiving for the first time. As a vegetarian, I can say I had many options, and what I chose was outstanding. My wife and daughter enjoyed their fish and meat dishes and I can honestly say there wasn’t one dish that wasn’t outstanding. I heartily recommend this place and I’m considering going back for Christmas if they’re open.“

“Their Chinese food (meal) & pastries.“

“All the food is fresh, and choosing what's in season makes it even tastier. For larger groups, the big round tables come with the added bonus of individual hot pots built right into the table. It's easier to order dishes when you have a bigger group here ( 3+ people)“

“Nice place“
