Pungal Restaurant

One of my favorite neighborhood spots! The staff are very polite, the food is hot, tasty, and well-priced. Takeout service is fast and convenient and the restaurant has an easygoing neighborhood vibe. Comforting and cozy.

Get the Beef or chicken Pho. So good, flavorful and doesn’t disappoint. This is the best pho in the mission. Veggie egg rolls are homemade and delicious highly recommend as well. Always consistent

Great war won ton soup. This is my go to place when I get sick with a cold. My wife and I have been going here since before we got married. Don't feel I have gotten a bad meal here. You can get all the Chinese dishes and now some Vietnamese dishes. I haven't tried any of their American food, why go to a Chinese food place just to get a hamburger? I would bet they make a good burger.

Amazing food in the heart on the Mission. Hot & Sour soup is great for sustenance on a cold, rainy night.

My family been coming here for yrs . Everything was delicious and freshly made too.

Favorite Chinese restaurant the staff are always friendly Felicia is a sweetheart, the food is delicious & not pricy at all. I grew up in the neighborhood and it was always a pleasant place to eat. They also have a room that is rented out for parties.

Punjab's chicken pho is the best. I've visited multiple restaurants that serve pho, but none of them can top the flavor of this one. The broth is extremely flavorful and the portion is pretty big for the price.The waitress there is also very kind. Definitely my go-to place whenever I'm craving some good pho.

Best Chinese food I've had in my 10 years living on the west coast. Really solid pho and bahn mi sandwiches too. Classy diner look and feel inside. Great overall experience.

Love it! Been going here off and on for 20 years. Delicious food every time I go. Combo plate #15 - sweet & sour pork, broccoli beef and fried rice. 💋💋❣❣

This is the best place I’ve ever been to, egg rolls are so good that we ordered some more togo. They give you complimentary hot tea as well. Servings are huge. Wish I lived out here because I’d be at this restaurant all the time!

They were super nice and brought me hot tea right away while I was still viewing the menu. It was rainy so I really appreciated that All the food was absolutely delicious and fresh and came out so fast! I did arrive at 12pm so there was basically nobody else at the time. They also brought me ice water. Highly recommend, will definitely be frequenting this place more!!! Edit: they also boxed up my leftovers for me and were again super communicative!

Hello there family. If you are looking for a good Chinese restaurant that has some good food I encourage you to check out Punjab. This food is really good. If you stop by and let them know that Pastor Dre sent you.

Pleasantly surprising in taste and decor, a rare-find Chinese-Vietnamese treasure not to be judged by its exterior. Hidden behind a decades old signage is an Asian diner that remains a time capsule from the 1970s, serving Vietnamese noodle soups, Chinese stir-fries and unique combination rice platters. #12 Pho Crispy Five Spice Chicken Noodle Soup — a solid broth, rice noodle soup served with fragrant, batterless, deep-fried bone-in chicken reminiscent of quail. Yum! #10 Bun Bo Hue, deep in flavor but likely not the cornerstone house special. A newfound favorite showcasing the special timelessness of San Francisco Asian cuisine.

Chinese and Vietnamese restaurant in one place! I can eat my favorite Pho and Chinese beef rice noddle in one lunch. The rare beef on my pho was very thin. That made it taste very tender. On another side, the Chinese beef rice noddle was so so. They put too much soy sauce on the rice noddle although the beef itself was good. The price in this place is very inexpensive.

Homemade pork potstickers for sure. Pho was perfect for the cold day we had. The waitress was on point and made sure to check up. Really enjoy coming in. Quality food and service.

Simply put this is Asian home style food at its best. A true community staple. Big portions at reasonable prices. Family owned and operated, always consistent with a huge menu and variety. The pho is extremely good. The soups are extremely good. Lots of vegetarian options, with great meat dishes as well.

Amazing food and service! Everything on the menu is great quality and tastes amazing. Amazing service. One of the best restaurants in the city!! 💯💯💯 great for vegan and vegetarian options

It's over the top Asian American food that's serve here. The menu items are americanized with a heavier sweet sauce. It's a big restaurant and they even have a second floor to open if needed. The kitchen is much bigger than most of the restaurants in San Francisco. It is also shiny and looks clean. The seats and tables look old style in dark green color. They are placed to exceed the 6-feet covid-19 requirement. They can server big groups. The place could get busy. So they have a 90-minute seating limit. This is a restaurant that's in business for many many years. The sign outside is at least 20 years old as I could remember. But if you are looking for some very "authentic" Chinese food, you night be a little bit disappointed because they don't even have a Chinese menu. The servers can speak Chinese though.

The food is very good at an affordable price. The waitress couldn’t be nicer and they do take cards which is great.

I like their pho with red onions, and their rare steak is actually rare. The basil and sprouts are always looking like they just pulled it out the ground. The servers and chefs are always smiling and saying hello when i sit at the diner style bar which is dope. Theres never a wait which is surprising cause the food is amazing. Definitely get treated like family there. Cash is cheaper too btw.

My grandmother has come here since well before I was born. She recently passed. This restaurant has the best food and the best people working in their establishment. If you have the opportunity I wouldn’t miss a chance to try their food.

My favorite spot, amazing service, happy, enjoyable atmosphere. Super Service! Serene is an extraordinary and is Excellent! I highly recommend her to save the world!

The food was pretty cheap with good portions and came out lightning fast. I ordered the garlic chicken, and while it was not the most flavorful, it did the job. Update: I have been back numerous times and have discovered that the orange chicken is delicious and the basil chicken is also good. The staff is very friendly. Only note is that it could be cleaner inside.

I live nearby and love their egg foo yung. I have just ordered that for years, but added pork buns last time as I was with a friend. They were good, and super-fluffy. With my limited experience, I wouldn't say anything negative about this place, which I learned has been open since 1970! The minus one star is to indicate that it is a neighborhood place, quirkily decorated, not posh. It would be pretty cool to find yourselves among the regulars here.

Indian sounding restaurant that serves Chinese food but has photos of Vietnamese photos on the wall...??? ..what's going on.... So I went to find out! This place serves Cantonese-Chinese food with a side of Vietnamese. The food is actually really good and the prices are on the cheaper side. I ordered the Beef Pho with Meatballs and was surprised at how good beef soup came out. The meat was extremely tender and flavorful, the noodles were of the right consistency, and the soup was full of flavor. The service is pretty good, you're not getting a 5-star treatment but you're getting your water right away, order taken, and meal served. Great attitude just no frills. This is going to be my go-to spot for chinese/vietnamese food in the mission, it's fast, cheap, and tasty!

The food was good, fast service. For about 25$ each, 2 people can eat a lot of food with leftovers. This is not a 5 star restaurant but worth a visit. Will definitely be going back

I was in the mood for chinese after an errand. It's been a while since being here. Used doordash for pickup. I had the combo of beef broccoli and sweet and sour pork. The beef was the best a solid 3.75 out of 5. The pork was a tad dry but exactly what you expect, 3.5 out of 5. The fried rice was tired. Lacked the crunch bite with softness inside. Good food at a great price. $18.75 for enough for 2 meals.

This place meets every expectation when you’re craving Chinese American food! Not mind blowing but very consistent, great value, fast service! No complaints and if Chinese American is your type of comfort food you’ll love this establishment!

Name of the restaurant is a bit misleading. Serving Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine. Does the job - quick, efficient and pretty good food. I wouldn't travel specifically to come here, you can find much better Chinese food in the sunset, Richmond and Chinatown but if you're in the neighborhood it'll hit the spot. Pretty affordable and expensive menu. We had: - hot and sour soup - pretty standard and tasty; - pho - was surprised the broth was pretty good and the portion was huge; - cod in black bean sauce - was a little more bland compared to other places, and rice was a bit dry but huge portion and they didn't skim with the cod and veggies. Only one waitress but she was VERY efficient.

Old school, Hong Kong style eatery that has been around for decades. It serves tasty, not pretentious traditional Chinese food. It gets very busy at lunch time tho. Oh, the waitress handles every table on her own, impressive!! 🎉👍 Open without crazy mask restriction as of 2/17/22. Welcome back 🇺🇲👍🏽.

Let's start with the food family recipes. I've been going there 450 years. Grew up with Felicia the cook. The service is great, very friendly. The atmosphere a little data but big picture windows for people watching taking in the vibes of the area. They also have an upstairs where you can have a private event. I recommend selections from felicious menu there. You get a variety of combo plates which are very affordable.

Had the spicy eggplant Thai over rice with tofu very delicious I would definitely be back to try other dishes you can eat in or have take-out, call your order in for pick-up food for one or more great price for the amount you get you will always have left over.

More than 10 visits. This is still my neighborhood go to for Chinese Food. Its not the best in the city, but it is reliable, convenient and the staff are friendly. I always get the Honey Walnut Prawn and then mix up the different side dishes. On my most recent visit, I tried the garlic egg plant and will def try it again.

Ordered takeout and it took 5 minutes before we could flag someone down who told us to wait as they had not assembled our order that was supposed to be done 10 minutes prior to our arrival. Normally I wouldn't even mention this, but the food itself wasn't great. I ordered sweet and sour pork with pork chow mein and pork fried rice. I received 4 tiny pieces of pork that I thought were missing at first because the rest of the container was filled with fried rice and chow mein. The included spring roll was incredibly greasy, and the fried rice was mushy, wet, and had not enough salt and way too much msg (and I love msg). The chow mein was also oddly greasy My partner's wonton soup also was pretty meh, and the orange chicken we split had little flavor. Panda Express is better IMO because it at least leans into being overly Americanized and doesn't sit in some awkward middle ground of authentic and not. All this for $60. We won't be going back.

Ordered a few basic menu items to go, and they took forever to prepare the food. When asked how long would it take for the food they replied “I don’t know!” We waited 40 mins for our food while grub hub drivers came in and out. Food was good though

I’ve gone here a couple times okay experiences. I ordered salt and spicy wings were raw bloody batter and wasn’t the best and my other experience I ordered in it was one of the worst service and at the end she demanded for tip after her bad service either a sassy tune and look. After she asked my girl friend we gave her a tip and she snatched it and just said just 4?!.

I usually don’t write reviews of restaurants but this was by far the worst Chinese food I’ve had. I ordered the hunan beef for lunch and the meat clearly had expired but they served it to me. I took two bites ( the second to confirm that this food was trash), ordered a to go box and immediately threw it away.

the waitress at this restaurant was discriminating against Latinos. refuses to sell a $ 12.50 order because they think they do not have enough money to pay that amount. And it automatically steals the changes, it does not return it.

They are not honest about their pricing. Their online menue says $6:50 for veggie egg role and when I got to the restaurant it was $9:50. Egg roles were frozen costco brand and very greasy. Not worth it!!

My family and I had a bad expirience at this restaurant. The waiter that served us, discriminated us for being lantinos. She didn't want to sell us more than two orders that cost 12.50 dollars, because she taught that we couldn't pay that amout of money. She pointed the cost of the food on the menu, and said to look at the cost. Then she asked us if we could pay that cost, but she said it with an additude that showed discrimination. When we finished eating we paid and she kept the change, and she didn't give us the option of giving tips.
