Food (7.5 out of 10)
mentioned by 98% of the guests
Alright, lets talk food! Overall, the culinary experience here is quite good, boasting a solid 7.5 score and a happy 75% customer satisfaction. Out of 180 comments, a whopping 135 rave about delicious options like the chicken pho noodle soup, Laksa, garlic noodles, and those Salt and pepper chicken wings that are often called a must-try.
Folks really appreciate the quality and variety! However, its not all perfect. We saw 26 less-than-stellar remarks, with some diners finding overcooked eggs, soggy noodles, or bland Vietnamese food.
There were also mentions of disappointment with the combination soup and menu changes. So, while generally positive, there are a few areas where the kitchen could tighten things up.

- foodThe remaining dishes include brunch items and traditional Cantonese cafe fare. I found the food to be clean and not too salty, with portions that are not oversized. They conveniently accept credit cards with no minimum and also offer delivery.
- chickenThe best parts of the laksa were the fried shrimp and the fried tofu pieces. The chicken was tender, but I didn't get much beef. The noodles were very chewy, which I think I liked.
- baked pork chopThe baked pork chop was also amazing - so much flavor
- American breakfastMy experience at this restaurant offered a choice between inexpensive Chinese food or American breakfast. The ordering process was straightforward: you go up to the counter to order, and they bring the food to your table.

Great Asian & Western Breakfast Options
This restaurant offers a mostly Asian (Chinese, Vietnamese) menu that also features solid breakfast standards like omelettes and pancakes. It's a perfect setup when one person wants an Asian breakfast, like noodle soup with a fried egg, and the other desires a Western breakfast. I enjoyed the wonton noodle veg soup, with wontons having a delicate texture and a balanced pork/shrimp filling.
My husband had the Western classic special, which included 2 eggs, 2 sausages, and pancakes, surprisingly served with coffee or milk tea, a rarity in SF. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was very laid back. The price was very reasonable.
I'll be back to try other menu items.

Good Food, Better In Person
This is a nice little spot. The prices are better in person; they are more expensive on DoorDash, so just go physically. The food is good.
I’m a white guy, so I don’t know how authentic it is, but I see mostly Asian people inside and the menu is also written in Chinese, so yeah!

My experience at the restaurant was mixed. I found the baked pork chop in white sauce and the chicken wings to go to be absolutely delicious. However, the Laksa was just so-so, lacking flavor.

Terrible Service, Food Discarded
My experience was very disappointing. The wait staff mistreated my wife and 3 year old son by tossing out their food even though their personal belongings were still at the table. We had specifically asked for a Togo box right before they used the restroom, and despite having personal belongings, an empty Togo box, and full plates of food on the table, the staff discarded everything.
When we inquired, the waitress responded with a dismissive "huh. " There was no apology or restitution, just pure ignorance. This happened even though we tipped.
