Peking Restaurant
Mom and pop place with some good comfort foods Hot N sour soup - Very good flavor. Dumplings - good Wasabi cold noodles- great flavor Eggplants- yummy but greasy Tan tan noodles - very good Service is slow. Maybe because of CNY eve. Our food took awhile to come out. The lady at the counter did apologize and said they are busy with too many to go orders. We also ordered beers but it never came. We asked the waiter and the lady at the counter multiple times. They acknowledged but forgot as soon as they walked away from our table. It took about 5 friendly reminders before we got to enjoy our beers. The complimentary sesame dumplings desserts were surprisingly good.
TLDR: solid food at slightly higher prices, decor needs a bit fixing up We got our sweet and sour pork rice plate to go and the total came out to $15.40 which is a bit expensive. They included a sweet and sour soup which was nice. The pork was crispy and the sauce a bit sweet but good. Weirdly I wanted more rice as there was sufficient meat and veg. The interior needs some work with very dirty carpets but there were a bunch of flowers around which brightened it up a bit

Been coming here for 20 years, cheap and delicious down home chui chow food. You are not paying for service here so don’t expect a smile and this is the very best definition of a hole in the wall restaurant. Everything is sticky, the floor, the table, the menu, the bathroom and even the waitress. Also you’ll never ever have to wait for a table. Order the 5 course meal for $24, (it used to be $20) the flavors are great.
1) crazy affordable prices. I genuinely can’t find a place in SF that still sells entrees in the 6-8$ range. 2) really good food 3) don’t expect amazing dine in service or the place to be beautifully decorated/clean. This is the purest definition of amazing hole in the wall Chinese food and if you know what you are in for than I deplore you to try this place. Ignore 1 star reviews that comment about communication issues or order issues, but if friendly service is imperative to you than I would recommend you look elsewhere.

I ordered happy hour food delivery from here and was pretty satisfied with what I received. It’s nice that this place participates in the DoorDash happy hour promotions so that I can try multiple dishes for a late lunch or early dinner without having to go out and struggle to find parking on Irving Street. Cucumber salad: 3.5/5 The flavor was very garlicky. I didn’t really taste much vinegar or soy sauce. I think it would be better if it were less salty but still glad I ordered it, as the crispness of the cucumbers balanced out the meal. Dry sautéed string beans: 4/5 These string beans had pretty standard flavour, but they were longer than average and slightly undercooked. I still enjoyed them, especially since they were less greasy than what I’ve received from some other places. Iron pot fish filets: 5/5 The fish fillets were amazing with all the Sichuan spices and chili oil. If I dined in, I would likely ask them to increase the spiciness, but they still taste great at the default spice level.
Best fresh spicy fish in the bay area! Even better than some resturants in China! The fish is so tender and fresh. The fu qi fei pian was a little mid, but the spicy dumpling was amazing
Sun Maxim's
A small Cantonese restaurant offer a variety dishes. Very friendly service. Chicken mushroom clay pot rice was good. Fried fresh vegetable was tender and right seasoning.
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!
Noriega Star Restaurant 嘉和興
Top 5 dim sum place in SF. Good deal, great food, nice clean area! The wontons are flavorful and delicious. The steam flat noodles are also some of the best in the city.
Their chung fun is the best I've had. We got the pork one with mushrooms and sprouts. The texture is silky and chewy. Will come back just for that. The HK milk tea was smooth and you can ask for less sweet. The wontons and shrimp dumplings were decent. Be warned about their lemon ice tea though. The waiter insisted they use homegrown lemons that are more "fragrant" but the fragrance gives a really off-putting aftertaste. We order lemon cha all the time at different places and this is not it. Will come back to try their other dishes and hopefully early enough for their breakfast sets.

Super fair prices especially for San Francisco! Had a melody of dishes and all of them were definitely at least above average, most were delicious! The cold noodles and pig’s ears were tasty and I also liked the pork biang noodles. Service was super friendly as well, definitely come and try this hidden gem in the Sunset!
The food here was very good. Value of the food was reasonable, flavourful and decent pricing. Their cumin lamb is seasoned very well, not too salty like other places. The hot and sour wonton was on point, loved the spiciness and then you get a kick of tanginess/sour. The pigs ear was on point, not too chewy and not too tough, the flavour melded pretty well. The beef noodle soup was very good, thin slice of beef shank/flank, the noodles was perfect and the soup made it well. Friendly staff, however, once you receive your food, the staff doesn’t care about you anymore especially when you need to refill of hot water for your tea. Overall, excellent value for the food.
Cheung Hing Restaurant
Our favorite Chinese restaurant in the Outer Richmond District. Reasonable prices, great dim sum and comfort food. Huge menu!
Service was rude the second time we came. The lady at the cashier spent her time talking to her friend and complaining about how the customers before us didn’t follow the “ordering etiquette” therefore slowed down her work. An easy remedy would be you stop talking and get back to work? In terms of the food, we especially loved the roast duck. The skin is glossy and crispy. We tried the double roast combo on rice and got roast duck and roast pork.
Yuanbao Jiaozi 元寶餃子
Yuanbao Jiaozi is a little unassuming northeastern Chinese style restaurant known for their freshly made dumplings. I'm not sure why they have the two ladies behind a window making dumplings. It seems more of a gimmick. We had the spicy house special noodles $15, cucumber salad $8, beef tendon $11, pork dumplings $12 and lamb dumplings $13. The food was OK. It tasted clean. Service was excellent.
Yuanbao Jiaozi is an absolute gem. Their freshly made boiled dumplings are next level, you can actually watch them being wrapped and cooked right in front of you. The whole place has a cozy, homey vibe that makes you feel like you’re eating in someone’s kitchen. You can’t book in advance, but just show up, write your name down, and wait, it’s totally worth it. The surprise highlight? The pig ear. Seriously, a real banger. Would 100% recommend.
HD Chinese Yunnan Rice Noodle
HD Chinese Yunnan Rice Noodles is a go-to spot for comforting bowls of noodles! 🍜 Their tomato beef noodle soup is a standout—rich, flavorful broth, fresh veggies 🥬🍅, and tender, high-quality beef 🥩 make every bite satisfying. If you're craving authentic Yunnan flavors, this is the place to be! 🌟
We went there for a late lunch and there were a lot of empty tables. We both ordered the Original Beef Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles, Garlic Cucumber, Iced Ribena and Thai Milk Tea. The rice noodles were pretty good, but the broth was okay. These rice noodles offered a lot of small dishes that you could add to yourself. I just put all the small dishes into the rice noodles. The garlic cucumber didn’t taste good. Overall, I would say the rice noodles were good, but the broth and other ingredients were just fine.
Happy Bakery
It’s called Happy Bakery but it’s mostly Dim Sum and food to go. I don’t eat much veggies but they have the best string bean chicken with tofu. This is a must-try! Dim Sum on the other side is also good with their Siopao & Sesame Balls. An order of combination over rice was only $6 but I guess inflation got in the way. Still worth coming for those string bean! 😋😋
Happy Bakery has many friendly people working there, and the dim sum and Chinese fast food are pretty good. The store has two sections. The section on the left is my favorite dim sum section. They have many different dim sum for the reasonable prices. The Chinese fast food section is more like Panda Express. You can see what you want, and they scoop it into the box. Both sides are quick and yummy!
T C Pastry
Decent for the price. The egg tart is flavorable but on the small side. Sweet tofu was ok The BBQ Pork bun was decent for the price
HONEST REVIEW: Service is quick, but quite often you will be rushed when ordering. You can expect your food just a quickly as you ordered, which is great though. Food is pretty good and sold at an unbeatable price. I used to get ha gow often, however, the quality for that changed and every shrimp ha gow variant i’ve tried has tasted stale. Their pork siu mai, steamed pork buns, and chicken turnovers are favorites of mine. This place will get you in and out quickly, and serve you some great food.
Cafe Bakery Restaurant
Food is decent for a hefty price. Service is bland. One of the Asian women saw me and ignored me when I needed a tea refill. Luckily for me, another lady assisted me with the tea. UPDATE: 2-20-2025 Service is better and food is still decent. Beware of silly 25 cents surcharge for take out container if you don't finish your food. What a scam?
My go to restaurant when I feel like eating Hong Kong style food. I should be more adventurous but I always stick to my usual. My husband always order his oxtail over rice and me my chicken a la king over rice or baked pork chip with tomato sauce. Their portions are huge even when you order Togo’s. The food is good although sometimes depending on the cook, it’s a bit salty for me. The chicken a la king. Make sure you bring cash. It’s a cash only establishment. But would I go back? Yes. Definitely. Being go there when they had a bakery next door and they would give us 2 or 4 little sweet buns before our food came. They don’t serve that anymore. That’s how long ago I have been coming to this cafe.
