Uncomfortable Experience, Order Errors, and Sickness
My experience at this restaurant was very uncomfortable and unprofessional. I became sick the very next day after my visit. To make matters worse, they couldn't get my order right on both occasions. It was disappointing to have my expectations for a favorite cultural dish, Asian cuisine, not met. Honestly, I would rather make the drive to Cambodian street food in Oakland, CA, as it's worth the trip. Happy New Year.

Delicious Food, Needs Ambiance Polish
My experience at this restaurant was primarily centered around the food, which was absolutely delicious. The service was good, though there's room for improvement in certain areas. Specifically, the table cleaning and decor could be enhanced to truly elevate the overall dining experience. It seemed like many patrons were opting for takeout, which might explain why the dine-in atmosphere wasn't as polished. However, the food was the most important factor for me, and it certainly delivered.

Disappointing Food and Service
As a Chinese customer, I sincerely suggest to the owner that this restaurant needs significant improvements in both its food and service. The style of the food is quite American, which does not match its price. I ordered a fried rice and a soup. The fried rice was acceptable, but the soup was extremely unpleasant; I didn’t even finish it. When I was about to take a break and check my phone, the staff unexpectedly urged me to eat quickly. I really don’t understand this behavior. In short, I hope this restaurant can make changes and improve their food and service.

Great Lunch Specials & Value
My experience at this restaurant was very positive, especially regarding their lunch specials. The food is consistently good, and the prices are really good. I often get tea with my lunch special, and even when I opt for a Coke, my bill is only around $15, which includes a $2 tip. I highly recommend this place and will continue to return to enjoy the items on the lunch special menu. They close at 3 pm Monday through Saturday and are closed on Sundays. Please be patient with the staff and remember to tip kindly.

Hidden Gem for Fried Chinese Food
My experience at this restaurant was a bit of a mystery. It's a place that looks super old, but offers really good, affordable Chinese food. It seems like only locals know about it. Anything fried, they do exceptionally well. Their fried rice is top quality, and the ingredients are fresh, indicating everything is freshly made. The dine-in experience isn't the best; the rundown indoor and tables almost look dirty, but they are not. You get a fresh pot of tea even if you dine alone. It's rare to find a place in SF where you can dine in for lunch under $15 with food you actually want to eat. Oh, and their chili oil is fantastic – not burnt, clear deep red, with just the right amount of heat and flavor. Highly recommend.

Solid Chinese American Fare
We came here because our regular place was closed, and I'm glad we did, as it had been years since our last visit. The food was very clean, with minimal oil used, which allowed the flavors to really come out. It's not fancy, just solid Chinese American fare. We enjoyed the Walnut Shrimp and Vegetable Fried Rice. Just a heads-up, it's cash only!

Open for Business!
I'm giving this place 5 stars simply because it's actually open and in business. It's disheartening to see this area surrounded by vacant, boarded-up businesses. The city feels like it's in ruins, and I truly hope for a comeback!

Great Value Chinese Food
My experience at this cash-only Excelsior sit-down Chinese restaurant was fantastic! They offer huge portions for both lunch and dinner entrees at a fraction of usual city prices. My buddy and I got their lunch portion chicken fried rice, the General’s chicken, and two beers for only $28! The food came out quickly, the server was nice and quick, and the food was really good! Bring your cash and an appetite.
