Terrible Chow Mein, Overpriced and Oily
My experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. The chow mein were incredibly difficult to eat, and the flavor was really bad and very oily. I was surprised to find that adding beef or shrimp incurred extra charges without prior notice. For 13. 95 USD, I received cheap noodles with no meat or vegetables. Honestly, I believe instant noodles from the supermarket are more tasty than their chow mein. I will never come again.

Disappointing Experience with High Prices
I came here due to good reviews but was pretty disappointed. I ordered pickup through Doordash, and the resulting price was very high, possibly due to restaurant markups for the service. While I might have overlooked this for a single occasion, the food itself was subpar; I ended up throwing most of it out. The atmosphere also received a low rating.

Great Food, Small Restaurant
My experience at this small restaurant was great! The place was bustling with people, both picking up to-go orders and dining in. The rice and meats are meant to be shared by 2 to 3 persons. It was made at the moment and arrived hot and fresh!

A Special Place with Great Food
Something about this place feels special. The food is fresh and the inside is cozy. I have only come here twice but each time is filled with good memories. This is a great place to come with a loved one or with a small group of friends.

Delicious Lunch Date!
My experience at the restaurant was delicious! The staff was friendly, and I loved it for a lunch date. I enjoyed the orange chicken and fried rice. Just a heads-up, it's cash only.

Best Chinese Food in the City!
I stumbled upon this restaurant after a stroll through the park and had a fantastic experience. The portions are HUGE and served family style, making it perfect for sharing. I can honestly say this is some of the best Chinese food in the city!

Delicious food, great atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was so delicious, and I highly recommend it. Just go! The atmosphere was also a perfect 5/5. For payment, you can bring cash or pay online, either way is fine. Overall, a great experience.

Authentic Chinese Food Experience
My experience at this restaurant was exceptional. The Chinese food was perhaps the best I've ever had, reminding me of the authentic flavors found in NYC. The food quality was rated a perfect 5, and the atmosphere also received a perfect 5. The service was equally impressive, scoring a 5. Dining with a group of 2 for dinner, the price per person was between $10–20.

Good HK Style Chinese Takeout
I came here to pick up dinner on a weekday night because my family was craving some HK style Chinese food. While there are many options in the Sunset/Richmond area, none on other menus had crispy pan fried noodles. It was curious to me that a dumpling restaurant would serve that, but we decided to give it a shot. The order included sweet and sour pork, xiaolongbao, stir fried string beans, fried rice, and crispy noodles – all were well prepared. The restaurant itself is at a corner of a relatively quiet neighborhood block and has limited seating. It's a good option for take out.

Secret Gem: Delicious Food, Perfect Experience
I love living in San Francisco. My experience at this restaurant was a solid 10s across the board, and the food was absolutely delicious. I'm already planning to come back 100 times! The beef and broccoli had a wonderful gingery flavor, the noodles were smoky and crisp, and the dumplings were hot and flavorful. The crispy honey chicken was a standout. Don't tell anyone though, this is our secret now.
