I really enjoyed their chicken with lemon sauce (facsimile orange chicken). Also, I woulda loved to meet the shrimp that fried my rice. We definitely finished all the duck lo mein! We chose this place instead of the cheaper option down the block because they accepted card and cash. They’re food reviews are also less skewed because they don’t also serve doughnuts.

Great filling lunch with Won Ton soup, chicken salad and lettuce wraps and tea. Yum. Good value and it got very busy.

We went here for dinner tonight after noticing the local patrons who seemed to appreciate the food here. Bc the menu is so vast, we chose the prix fixe C for dinner, choosing for main dishes the Mongolian beef and also the Chicken w mushrooms. And chow mein chow fun. Everything was delicious!!! I esp loved the Mongolian beef dish, which came with onions & green onions, which are key for helping digest the meat. The sizzling rice soup was so good. It was so much food and served quickly. I heard from a neighbor that their lunch buffet is also really good. Definitely will return with more people to have a good dinner! Photos were taken after we'd started eating bc we couldn't wait 😅 Personally, I even ate the fortune cookies which I liked bc it included words to learn Chinese :)

Authentic Chinese cuisine for fair prices! This was our go to Chinese restaurant when we lived in the area. We came back after leaving the a few years and the food tastes exactly the same! Hats off to their consistency! This family ran joint is great for your usual greasy Chinese cravings but also good for those unique dishes for certain occasions — peking duck, etc. I especially like their deep fried flounder! Highly recommended!

Great local restaurants. Very economical for being in the heart of San Francisco. Food was excellent and service was okay. My party got a bunch of small dishes and sides instead of ordering combination platters. All of the dishes were extremely good and reasonably priced. Definitely worth going to if you're in the area and looking for some Chinese food without paying a premium price.

This is an excellent and not very expensive Chinese restaurant on Nob Hill. I've had carry out from here half a dozen times in as many months. Every time I have been totally satisfied. I've had Mongolian Beef, Fried Rice, Chow Mein, and my favorite by far is the roast duck. The duck has been the best roast duck I've had in years and it was just as good all three times that I ordered it. One time a friend and I ate in the restaurant and the service was good and the mostly empty restaurant made a relaxing setting for our meal.

Solid Chinese-American, with lunchtime hot bar serving choice of 1, 2 or 3 mains and chow mien, fried or white rice. Heaping portions lunch platter for under $10 — a bargain. Crispy fried pork chop, yum. Vegetable stir fry, comfortable and tasty. Chicken chow mien, unassuming but nothing special. A good option when seeking something casual, familiar and local.

Food was fresh and well made, portion size is great, the only thing I didn’t like was they put a lot of salt in everything, it was way too much salt particularly in chicken salad . Service was good and fast and one guy was doing everything from host stand to telephone operators, serving , clearing the tables. I will give it another try but won’t forget to mention them to go easy on salt :)

Maybe best described as a hole in the wall dining experience! Food: great selection and not small portions (see photo) Overall: would I go back - yes. Why? It is what it is, tasty! In the picture- Lobster, 2 x chicken dishes, beef dish, bok choy, and soup $48!!!

The tea is very soothing for some reason. I always get the chicken and mushrooms with that spicy sauce. I love it. It's comforting and there's a good amount of it.

Perfect no frills restaurant. Food and service are great, dont worry about the cigarette hanging out of the cook's mouth when you go through the kitchen to get to the bathroom.

If you guys ever Serve Mar Far chicken I will come several times a week! Hard finding a restaurant that serves this. It costs no more and kids can order it too!

Nothing really stood out. Average Chinese food at reasonable prices.

The food flavor is okay but it could have been a little bit more better. I did notice that many people come here for takeout. I came as a tourist and I wanted some really good Chinese food and this restaurant popped up as one of the best ones. Their takeout is pretty good. They come in reusable containers. They do not give you plates you can purchase them across the street at CVS pharmacy where you can also see that trader Joe's shop.

We ordered the roasted duck lunch option. It was served witch pak choi and rice as a side without any sauce. This was already a little bit disappoiting but not yet a problem. The bad part of the meal was the duck, which only consisted of bones and fat. There was barely any meat on it. We ate the rice and went somewhere else to get good food. Prices are decent but that's useless if the food sucks. Can't recommend going there at all.

The sweet and sour pork I ordered was left overs that was sitting out on their lunch special that morning. They basically tried to recook it in the pan, but it made no difference. The breading was soggy and the chicken tasted extremely tough. I ordered again months later, but decided to try the sweet and sour chicken instead of pork, and it was the same thing. Recooked, greasy, soggy breaded chicken drenched in more sweet and sour sauce. I will never go to this place ever again.

Went on Indigenous holiday. I ordered curry pork chow fun, was brown color. I knew something was off since I know curry should be yellow. The sauce wasn’t like it was 5 years ago the last time I was there, in fact it tasted as bad as one of our friend’s curry, I always toss his out when he gives it to us. There wasn’t enough fun, wasn’t balanced with the amount of pork. My partner’s minced beef was too salty and wasn’t any sauce on it. Very dry. The spinach was too chewy and I had to spit it out as I couldn’t swallow, it lest it stopped up my wind pipe. Our friend asked for a chow fun takeout with ginger added for his wife. He got home but there wasn’t any ginger inside the box. . The place is filthy. I sat against the wall and there was an ant crawling, yuk! The edge of the wall was full of dirt and the carpet was dirty. They need to do a thorough cleaning. My friend was taken aback by the waiter giving him a device to press for the tips. He got confused and he didn’t know there’s an option for “other”. He regretted giving too much tip. The waiter didn’t ask us if we needed anything. We had to ask for more napkins as our’s was all soaked up with the curry sauce. We’re going to Empero Taste on I know they serve decent “yellow” curry chow fun. NO restaurant could be worse than this place! The ownership changed and the cook is not the same one five years ago, obviously. The glory days are over for this establishment! Will never return. Many good Chinese restaurants in the city, don’t waste your money, you’ll be disappointed!
