service was great, I got the shrimp and veggie pan fried noodles which was crispy.

I've been eating here a lot in past two months because I'm working near by. I had the Curry chicken once and it was good. I had the chicken mix vegetables and the was just ok. I had their Mongolian Chicken and it is VERY good. My coworker had Shrimp chowmein at it looked really good I have to try it next time. Lady that works there showed me a the lobster fried rice and it looked sooo good. I must try that someday soon. They are a new business and they seem really clean. 5 star so far. They have a lot of dishes I must try more 🙂

First time eating here and I loved it! Fresh food, fast service and very attentive. The salt and pepper prawns are amazing and the veggies were fresh. Christina was the best server ever!! I highly recommend this place.

Decent food, good Wok Hey, pricing is typical for SF now. Good options and good menu.

Our family (party of 7) had a wonderful dinner at Noriega Cafe this Saturday evening at 6:45pm. Parking was not too challenging and the restaurant was not too crowded. The interior is very clean and not very large- two large round tables and some smaller square tables. We ordered seven dishes- westlake soup, mapo tofu, salt and pepper spareribs, pumpkin with salted egg, fried rice with salted fish, a clay pot tofu dish, chow fun, and some greens with mushrooms. Everything was delicious and flavorful - not too salty (however we did request low sodium). The prices were reasonable for the generous portion sizes and the service by Christine was excellent. My favorite was the pumpkin with salted egg but everything was really good! Christine was very friendly and treated us like family. It made us definitely want to come back in the near future. I accidentally left a reusable bag behind and called the restaurant when I got home. Christine remembered us and said she saved the bag; she said she would set it aside for me to pick up whenever I could come by again. What a nice little restaurant! I’ll be recommending Noriega Cafe to anyone who wants great Chinese food and pleasant service!

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants. I’ve been super happy with consistency and quality over last two years plus. Not sure what’s going on on some of the negative reviews. Being Chinese I’ve always felt it’s usually a real good sign when you see a lot of other middle aged and up Chinese eating at a Chinese restaurant. The woman serving everyone alone is amazing that she can serve and have a great sense of humor even when they are busy.

you're searching for a delicious meal that won't break the bank, look no further than this restaurant. The menu is filled with a wide variety of dishes, all of which are reasonably priced and generously portioned. And don't be fooled by the affordable prices - the food is absolutely amazing. From the appetizers to the entrees to the desserts, each dish is expertly prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients that will leave your taste buds dancing. With its unbeatable combination of delicious food and affordable prices, this restaurant is a true gem that you won't want to miss. By the way I strongly suggest just to go!!!

It was my first time here and it was pretty good! We got some tofu and beef, seafood chow mein, congee, and a rice cake stir fry. I really enjoyed the tofu and beef, it’s super simple but still really flavorful! The seafood chow mein always hits the spot, it was also alot too!! Sampan Congee was good, I normally enjoy the 1000 year old egg with congee but the Sampan congee is very nostalgic for me! The stir fry rice cake was more for my family, not me, I’m not a huge fan of rice cake.

Christina and her team served an excellent banquet for about 30 on Thurs night. Many items and variety of good dishes. The roast duck was carved to thin pieces for the sweet rolls on the platter. Not really enough space for everybody. 2 round tables and 2 rectangular tables. no lazy susans . A very interesting experience. The restaurant had to turn away dine in customers, but managed take out customers during the event.

This was our third time eating here and they're very consistent high quality Chinese comfort food. Speedy service; food was ready when they said it would be (about 25 min from calling in the order). Huge portions and delicious food, I highly recommend this spot, it's a great new-ish mom and pop Chinese spot for the Sunset!

Dishes are kind of hit or miss. The Zhongshan style claypot was excellent, but mapo tofu was kind of bland.

The food is overall pretty good with balanced flavors. You can definitely do worse at other restaurants and can pay more for better at other restaurants. Service can be pretty slow depending on volume of take-out orders. There's only one person handling all the orders from taking, serving, and packaging to go orders. Overall, it's a great no frills Chinese restaurant that has an assortment of traditional Cantonese dishes along with Sichuan options too.

Came here for the lunch specials. I guessed the prices went up from $11 to $12.99. There was a lot of rice in my take out order. The salt and pepper ribs looks more like batter fried and not much pepper or spice in there. There was too much batter coating the paper-thin meat. You got to wonder how careful you have to cut the meat to get it that thin. I was very hungry so I ate everything but left over a lot of rice.

I was doing a food pick up and a lady was asking me to tip them. Tipping should be a voluntary thing, I guess? Especially for pick-up?? Food is okay but never going to come back again.
