Delicious Food, Cozy Atmosphere, Parking Woes
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive. The food was delicious and not heavy on the stomach, which is always a plus. The atmosphere was cozy and suitable for both seniors and toddlers, making it a comfortable spot for a diverse group.
I would definitely come back again if possible. However, a significant drawback was the parking, which was difficult to find, especially during peak hours.

Fresh, Tasty Food with Generous Portions
My dining experience was very positive. Two of us shared 2 of the $11. 99 dishes for dinner.
The food was freshly made and very tasty. The portions were large enough that we had leftovers for lunch the next day. We will be back.

Promising New Spot with Great Value
This restaurant is new and still finding its footing, which was evident in the service. The staff seemed pressured and understaffed but managed to serve with a smile and a vibrant attitude, remaining friendly and welcoming. The ambiance was surprisingly quiet, even with a full house; perhaps some low-volume music could enhance it.
The food was generally quite good, with big portions and prices on the lower side, making it a great value. The string beans are a must-try. My least favorite was the beef fried noodles with tomatoes, which were unexpectedly and excessively sweet for my liking.

Favorite Chinese in Outer Sunset
My experience at this new Chinese restaurant in the outer sunset was fantastic! The classics were all delicious, fresh, and tasted healthy. We were impressed by the generous portions.
This has quickly become our new favorite spot for Chinese food in the outer sunset.

Delicious Food, Excellent Service, Relaxing Atmosphere
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic. I enjoyed the shrimp with chinese kale, which featured a delicious sauce, tender shrimp, and fresh, bright vegetables. The service was exceptionally prompt and attentive, and the atmosphere was very relaxing.

Great New Neighborhood Chinese Spot
This is a great addition to the neighborhood, especially after YanYan closed. The restaurant offers ample seating in a pretty clean and bright space. The pricing is pretty decent, with family-style portions ranging from $14-20.
Currently, they have grand opening deals (as of 9/9/25) including $10. 99 entree specials or 10% off the regular menu. I highly recommend the salt & pepper grouper, which was well-seasoned and super tender – I will definitely order this again.
The dry fried string beans were just alright, and the Kung Pao chicken, while having a kick with white chicken breast, had too many peanuts. Each entree came with a serving of white rice. The restaurant is conveniently located down the block from the N Judah and 28th muni stop.
It's wheelchair accessible with no stairs and a large front door. Street parking is available, and they accept credit cards, though cash is always appreciated.

Delicious Food, Great Value Dinner
Six of us were here for dinner after an afternoon concert. The food was delicious. We ordered 7 dishes to share with 6 people, and the bill with tax and tips was less than $20 each.
The service was rated 5/5 and the atmosphere was also rated 5/5.
