Noodle Time

Love this place. It’s Vietnamese fusion kind of thing but surprisingly yummy. I had the pho with 5 spiced chicken. They have a nice size of fresh chicken on the side. For $17 it’s a great deal. Nice friendly staff as well.

Update: they are serving lots of different BOBA now! What a gem! 5 stars for Price, portion, service and authentic! It is so hard to find delicious Chinese food in Mission. This is the most authentic Taiwanese popcorn tofu I had in the Bay Area. Best part is they have a patio with heat lamp and is DOG friendly! My husband and I ordered the satay pho, fried tofu, and pho broth. Pho was very flavorful and the tofu was savory and CRISPY!

This place is a hidden gem for those looking for some yummy Vietnamese eats! The banh mi bread is perfect and the chicken steak banh mi was an unexpected l, tender delight!

The chicken is so tender! The selection of Taiwanese food is very limited in San Francisco so when you come across a well-made popcorn chicken or fried chicken then it's worth coming back. Definitely try the popcorn chicken, chicken steak w/ garlic noodles, and peppercorn fried chicken

This restaurant is like a hole in the wall spot. It looks very small from outside but the food here really packs a punch. We ordered inside, then grabbed a seat on their patio. The food came out really quickly and the server was really nice. They have a heater outside, which makes outdoor dining nice (especially when it gets cold out). The popcorn chicken was extremely well seasoned, nicely crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. We got a shaker with chili powder which added a great flavor to the dishes. Be careful shaking it when it’s windy, as it’ll get everywhere (clothes, table, eyes, etc). Love this spot!

Delicious Vietnamese dishes made hearty and clean. Chicken broth is amazing! So does everything else, but definitely get garlic noodle, one of the best I had. Nice and fresh atmosphere with great service.

People often commend this place for its amazing Vietnamese dishes but I want to bring particular attention to the Taiwanese dishes they also serve - mainly the Taiwan popcorn chicken, the fried tofu (breaded in tapioca starch). The food tasted close to authentic - I lived in Taipei for a while and everything they used from the spices to the seasoning felt spot-on. The owner was very friendly and chatted with us a bit and made us feel welcome to dine at his wonderful restaurant. I will return!

From a sunny day late afternoon lunch or a rainy day pick me up, I feel like this place is the best option anytime for a savory chicken oriented meal. Service is world class, friendly, and makes the food all the better! After ordering in store, it took about 10-15 minutes for our food to arrive. I view this as a HUGE positive because you know you’re getting the freshest food possible. I had the chicken steak and was surprised at how juicy (& not greasy) the inside was. Sides with broccoli & garlic noodles were a must. Spring rolls & thai tea were excellent as well. I’ll certainly be back whether it’s in person on their great (and really clean!) outdoor seating or delivery! Thank you so much!

Delicious and quick - if you are craving chicken dishes and garlic noodles, this is the place to go! I found out that the owner Michael used to own Perilla, which has amazing garlic noodles. So I was not surprised to find their garlic noodles buttery and drool-worthy. The five-spiced chicken and fried tofu were also great choices. I wasn't able to try the Taiwanese Chicken Fried Steak but I heard it's one of their most popular dishes. Don't overlook this gem in the Mission!

Good chicken here. I had the fried chicken steak with garlic noodles adding a fried egg and imperial roll $21 dining indoors. The ordering system is, you pay at the cashier and then grab a table. They have a little parklet with heat lamps outside. My food came out in 15 minutes. I enjoyed the thin chicken steak. It had a good spice and tasted like Quickly's Taiwanese favors. I do recommend adding the red powder to give it some more flavor. It is not spicy at all. Their garlic noodles are not as good as Ben Tre's or PPQ's. It was a small side without a lot of garlic. I had worst. After my meal, I ordered a popcorn chicken to-go and a side of garlic noodles for tomorrow. Service is as expected for a counter ordering restaurant. Sometimes you have to refill your own water as the cashier/waiter is busy at the counter. You can help yourself to the water jug at the soda fridge.

Such good asian style fried chicken steak! Super flavorful on its own but spice powder adds a nice kick. I popped in on a foggy evening and the satay chicken fried steak pho was the comfort food I needed.

The garlic sauce in the garlic noodles is so good. It's lick the bowl clean good! That fried steak chicken is 🤤 amazing!! Customer service is excellent!! Thank you so much for your amazing fold and hospitality 👋👋

My new go-to place in the Mission! Chic n’ Time has amazing food and service at an affordable price. Every dish I’ve tried has been phenomenal. The five spice chicken is perfectly seasoned and has a golden caramel skin. It’s delicious with both the chicken cabbage salad and the garlic noodles. The chicken steak is crispy (without being too oily) and unbelievably tender. Don’t forget to get a side of thai tea with your meal! Not only is the food here fire, but the service is also incredible. Michael, the owner, is a super friendly guy that goes above and beyond to make his customers happy. I love his energy and passion about food. Never have I been so happy to support a new restaurant! Be back soon!!!!

Listen up my gorgeous glamazons! This queen has some piping hot tea to spill about a casual little eatery called Chic n' Time that is going to completely gag you with how fabulous it is. I sashayed in there just expecting a basic little counter situation to grab a quick bite, but they read me for filth with the quality of their food offerings. Who knew this unassuming spot was hiding such fierce culinary talents, am I right? We started with these peppercorn chicken wings that instantly vogued their way into my heart. That crispy exterior was construction realness, while the inside was dripping in juicy, well-seasoned flavor with just the right amount of peppery zing. These wings have all the fancy places shook, trust. Then came the popcorn chicken which was practically a religious experience, ladies. Each delicate little morsel was swaddled in the most delicate yet crunchy shell that opened up to tender, savory chicken goodness inside. I literally could not stop devouring them - they were that divalicious! To help extinguish the fire, we gulped down one of their signature bubble teas and it was absolutely everythiiiiing. The creaminess and refreshing notes were living in such harmonious unity without being too sweet and desperate for attention. The balance? Perfection! Even though Chic n' Time is giving very casual vibes with the counter setup, the food quality is truly top tier and ready for the runway. They're elevating grab-and-go to a whole other level up in there. And can we take a moment for the vibe? I live for these laidback, fuss-free hangouts where you can just strut in and get what you need without the pageantry and drama. It's ideal for when those snack attack cravings hit hard. Long story short, the food had me so gagged that a re-wife is already on the calendar to keep exploring their delectable Asian-inspired snack and drink selections. If you want casual but utterly fierce eats, Chic n' Time is a definite must-visit! Mama has spoken, so you better listen!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The popcorn chicken I got here was super crispy and flavourful. it was the perfect snack/light meal. One of the best I’ve had and I’d get it again.

Came here on a Thursday night and there were no issues finding a seat! Lots of seating and nice staff. Good: - I got the garlic noodles with BBQ chicken - definitely good portion sizes here, you won't be hungry coming out of it - I liked the crunchy texture of the BBQ chicken too - The vibe is very chill and we sat there for a while catching up - quiet inside Bad: - Took some time for the food to come out Overall was a really fun casual place to get a meal. It's not too expensive and the food is unique!

A down to earth spot focusing on fried chicken with Taiwanese and Vietnamese influences. Here, you will find large chicken steaks marinated in five spice and white pepper, battered and fried in the Taiwanese way until they are juicy, tender, and crispy. Peppercorn wings might be even better than the cutlets; that’s because this place only serves flats/wingettes which ensures that every bite has the perfect ratio of crunchy batter to juicy meat. They've got other stuff too like Vietnamese style noodle soups, spring rolls, and garlic noodles but the chicken is definitely where it's at!

Solid for what it is, meals about $20. Steak Chicken and garlic noodles was good

Food was ok. But unfortunately, the lady serving was either having a bad night or is usually just extremely rude. My wife was simply asking for some to go containers and was met with immediate attitude. She was given only two small containers rudely, and when she asked for a few more was told that next time if she wanted containers they she needed to calculate the exact amount the first time before asking. This is at a restaurant that was quiet with no other customers the entire time. This was unnecessary and the lady did not say sorry or try to correct. Very out of the blue interaction and unprovoked.
