Great canto style food. Authentic and delicious This is more higher grade that a hole in the wall chinese restaurant almost at the 酒楼 grade but still very reasonable price. A couple bucks more expensive than a small chinese restaurant but the taste definitely reflects it. read more

Excellent tasting and portions for their food items. Quite fast for turnaround prior to ordering food as well regardless if eating in or out. The location is alright, it's easy enough to get to since the bus stops is just right there. The interior is classic with clean and simple design, but clean as well. I recommend this place if your in the area and craving classic Chinese cuisine. OH I forgot to mention, they have rice plates that are the bomb! read more

It was mid-afternoon, and there was a place on Geneva Avenue that I'd been wanting to try for a long time. Every time I passed by, I noticed they served my favorite dish; Hong Kong-style pan-fried noodles. That's one craving I can never ignore. We walked in around 2:30 p.m. and asked if they were still open. The server mentioned something about 15 minutes and the kitchen, but I misunderstood and thought she meant the kitchen would be opening in 15 minutes. After looking over the menu, I quickly realized she was actually telling us the kitchen would be closing in 15 minutes. We placed our order right away, and the waitstaff was incredibly accommodating. She made sure our order got through before the kitchen closed and took great care of us throughout our meal. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. For $52, the two of us shared Hong Kong-style pan-fried noodles with salt and pepper pork chops, West Lake cilantro soup, rice, and tea. Great food, friendly service, and an affordable meal for two. read more

I don't venture out to Crocker-Amazon much, but when I find myself strolling in this 'hood, I can't help but get curious about some of the local, semi-nondescript eateries that must surely attract the nearby residents in the evenings or on the weekends. At least that's what I thought when I walked into B&W's empty cavernous dining space. I had to confirm if they were open. They were, and I immediately perused a stapled copy of their multi-page takeout menu. I saw something that thrilled me to no end, the $10.98 Hainan Style Chicken Porridge (Photo 10). OK, there was an end because it wasn't what I quite expected. I was hoping the chopped poultry would have the poached flavor and consistency of regular Hainan chicken on a plate. It didn't. It was just chopped chicken in jook with the nuisance of bones that needed to be jettisoned. I also had the $9.98 Wonton Soup because I knew that would likely be one of their dependable staples (Photo 8). It was, and the hot broth kept the wontons and bok choy tender and flavorful enough to enjoy. There appear to be dozens upon dozens of other menu choices to consider on my next visit. FOOD - 3 stars...dashed expectations on the Hainan chicken...dishes need more oomph AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...quite spacious in here SERVICE - 3.5 stars...pretty attentive TOTAL - 3 stars...endless menu probably yields true jewels RELATED - Exploring the Outer Mission?

Too Stingy With Portion Size Good food, but disappointed in portion size. I recently ordered Sweet and Sour Pork (a little over $17), but when I got home and opened the container, it wasn't enough for me and my nephew to share so I had to just give it all to him. Knew it since the container had felt so light. There are other restaurants that still give good portions despite the cost of food now. Won't waste my money here again. read more

Had a nice time having dinner at this restaurant on a random wednesday a few months ago. The soup was good on a cold day, but definitely not worth the price because it felt like the veggies and wonton were all thrown together but cooked separately so it didn't combine with the soup's actual taste. The claypot fried rice however was very nice, rich in flavor, has that nice wok-fried taste and overall flavorful. The price is definitely not friendly, but the food is okay, there weren't any people around as it was almost 7:30, the ladies serving me were very kind to my requests so that was something to be grateful for as well read more

B&W Kitchen has become my go‑to spot for Chinese takeout in SF. The food is consistently quite good, and they handle all the classics really well--beef chow fun, chow mein, the usual favorites. Everything comes out flavorful, satisfying, and exactly what you want when you're craving solid, no‑nonsense Chinese comfort food. A dependable neighborhood spot that delivers every time. read more

I've always been curious about this spot since it opened and finally got to try it today. Service is straightforward and to the point; I figured this was especially so today since it was busy, there were several people ahead of me with to-go orders. I ordered two things: Pea sprouts w/ garlic and the chef special tender cube beef. The wait seemed to be about 15-30min per order depending on how much you ordered. I ended up waiting about 30 minutes since 4-5 people were ahead of me. I think this is reasonable since it is a small restaurant and I think only one chef is working. I definitely recommend ordering ahead of time if you are on a time crunch. Regarding the food, it wasn't quite to my liking but that doesn't mean it is bad. The pea shoots were a tad over cooked and under seasoned, not a big deal, and they gave a huge portion which makes up for it. The chef special tender beef cubes were ok; some cubes had tendon and fat which were chewy. There also was not that much beef considering it was 20 dollars. All things considered, I might come back to try something else. read more

This place is great! The service is great, the food comes out quick and hot and fresh and ready, the ambience inside is lit with beautiful lights and chairs that make you feel right at home, the service couldn't be any better. I got the Mongolian beef over rice and it only came out to $13! Go and get yours! read more

We ordered takeout from B&W Kitchen and really enjoyed our meal. We had the shrimp chow mein, which came with bean sprouts. Just a heads-up, if you are not a fan of bean sprouts, be sure to request them removed. The chow mein was flavorful and the noodles had a nice texture. We also got the shrimp and scallops with vegetables. The vegetables were crisp and fresh, the sauce was flavorful, and the shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly. This dish felt light but still satisfying. Another highlight was the fried rice with salted fish. We asked for it without chicken, and they accommodated that without any issue. We love this dish because it reminds us of toyo, a dried salted fish that may stink up the house when you fry it, but brings a rich salty flavor and great texture to the rice. It was comforting and packed with flavor. Everything was packed for takeout, and the portions were solid for the price. Service was quick and friendly. We're already planning to come back and try some of their meat dishes next time. read more

Excellent Chinese at great price. Great service, would be 5 stars if they had beer, but they do t have license. Just a little difficult to find parking. read more

Secont time ordering from B&W didn't disappoint. I love clean Chinese food so much! We got four dishes all of which were superb. The tofu with mushrooms is so light and juicy with fntastic mild flavor, fish with vegetables feels light and fresh, the fried porchops and eggyolk shrimps with yams are decadent and flavorful. This food .. I can't stop eating it. Not to mention the huge portions. The pictures were taken after having 3.5 plates of food. read more

This is my 3rd time here. Celebrating my mother in law's birthday. The first two times was long time ago. This time food still tastes amazing!!! Love the pumpkin salted egg shrimp ! Thags my favorite. other dishes were good too. Only down side is, it took awhile for them to serve the food . I guess if you don't mind waiting for a little it's fine. For me is fine, but for the old ppl they wanted the food to served fast lmao overall I recommend this restaurant read more

Wait for one hour for just 2 dishes Will not come any more The food does not deserve the wait read more

Street parking. We tried take out vs. dine-in. Dine-in is better because food is still hot and some dishes taste better hot than cold. Salt pepper chicken wings definitely better dine-in. Chinese broccoli very good, less stringy stems. Porridge okay, same as dine-in or take away. Mapo tofu with mince pork was very good, not too spicy. Excellent service when not too busy. No ambiance as I think this is more for take away food. Four stars out of five. read more

Great Chinese food and affordable prices. I love going back to eat with my family on weekends

Came here couple times to order take out. Ever since our first lesson, we always call in to order so if you don't wanna wait an hour for your food to come, always call in couple hours before your pickup time. Services was ok. I think they do eat ins now so they have a few big tables but not a lot. Their food is a hit or miss, and I felt like the last couple times either they heard us wrong or they just gave us what was easier to make. The recent Time it was pork instead of fish so probably better to double check your orders before leaving. read more

Sorry, couldn't take pictures of food as it leaked in way home. But, very grateful it all stayed in the bag and didn't explode. Also, food was still hot after 1.2 mile walk, so was hot and fresh when taken. I have an allium (i.e. onion) allergy, and I really have to thank this place as they made all the food fresh for me without onions. This is the main reason for five stars as soooooooooo many places ignore my allergy or forget. The food tasted good, ingot fish, ribs, and soup. The won ton soup was my far my favorite. It had shrimp in the won tons! Also they were nice and fat. I will be coming again. read more

Good food and great service o.k. ambiance but not a lot of tables but still pretty good

It's OK but depends what u ordered. The chow fun is better elsewhere but love the deep fried chops, veggies for a table of 14 for us. Service like refilling tea pot is mediocre. Might of been short staff that night. I will reconsider again b/c due to location. It's not C-town. read more

COVID-19 TAKEOUT   When the menu makes your eyes cross and there's a bunch of typos...that means it's legit!   You know what I mean - the menu is loooong with a dizzying array of menu items with typos like "vagitarian friendly" and "bowel rice" (this is another restaurant's typos).   Hey, they got my attention and gave me a good laugh...so, as long the restaurant serves delicious food, I don't care.   B & W Kitchen is a gem in this side of the city where there aren't many solid Chinese food options. It's a small mom and pop shop with no social media presence.   I read about the opening of B & W Kitchen from a neighborhood newsletter. After perusing their very lengthy menu, I was sold on their traditional Cantonese menu items (not a crab rangoon and orange chicken kinda place). The chef is from Hong Kong. During COVID, they're open for takeout with delivery available through Fantuan only.   M  E  N  U Huge array of items: Cantonese BBQ, Soups, Jook, Noodle Soups, Chicken, Pork, Beef, Lamb, Frog, Live Seafood (ginger&scallion, s&p, chili-fried, salted egg yolk), Noodle Rolls, Clay Pot Rice, Fried Rice and Noodles, and Veggies.   Do note, not everything on the menu is available yet. Jook and noodle rolls will be rolled out when indoor dining is allowed. For live seafood, they currently have crabs in their tanks. Rice plate lunch specials: $8.95-$9.80.   Choose 3 Entrees w/ Soup for $30.95. ***See enclosed menu pics. There's also additional menu items listed on their website.   I called in my takeout order and was quoted 25 minutes but it took closer to 40 minutes because they were slammed (on a Monday). With so many items, I was asked to order by menu item number. While waiting for order, the phone was constantly ringing with Cantonese speaking customers and repeat customers asking for recommendations on what to order next. Great sign!   C O V I D - 19  S A F E T Y  P R E C A U T I O N S * Staff wore masks properly. * Table blocking dining room. * Hand sanitizer available.   F  O  O  D * SP 17 Beef Brisket in Broth ($15.50) Soft and tender beef brisket in a clear broth with daikon and pickled veggies. The brisket was excellent but the broth and daikon were ridiculously salty. * SP 16 Braised Fish Head & Stew Claypot ($14.98) I thought the entire fish head would be served but it's not. The fish head was chopped into pieces, flash-fried, then braised with ginger, whole garlic cloves, and scallions. Solid dish. * SP 14 Braised Lamb Brisket w/ bean curd ($18) A homestyle dish with a combo of bone-in lamb and boneless lamb brisket, stewed in a gravy with ginger, garlic, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoot tips, and dried bean curd. Steamed rice is a must with dish to balance the salt. Room for Improvement: Studier plastic bags and wrapping saucy items with a baggie. Going back home, there was leakage from the brisket dish and a hole in the bag.   S  E  R  V  I  C  E Friendly and appreciative. They're understaffed and the manager told me they've been busy so kindly be patient. She was constantly being interrupted by customers calling and was very apologetic. P A R K I N G Parking is really tough in the area so give yourself plenty of time. Overall, solid 4 stars for the food. Wish I could give 5 stars but 2 of the 3 dishes were way too salty. I overhead a customer saying her previous order was too salty so I'm not the only one. Perhaps, you can request for them to go easy on the salt? Regardless, B & W Kitchen is a nice addition to the south side of the city. Locals can get their fix of traditional Cantonese fare without having to trek to The Sunset, The Richmond, or Chinatown. read more

This is a true neighborhood gem and such a welcome addition to this part of town! This is on point Cantonese cuisine. I saw this as we were driving down geneva and was very curious about it as it just had the grand opening in feb. Location: It's right on Geneva and unfortunately Geneva does not have a whole lot of parking available so that can be rough. Lots of double parking and running in to hopefully grab everything quickly! Logistics: No app or online ordering available so call in your order. The menu is found on google reviews and yelp (thanks to the first reviewer!). They do take credit card. Food: Delicious!!! Everything we got there, we enjoyed thoroughly. We got the deal for three dishes + soup for $30.95 and added an order of fried rice. Spiced dry braised string beans, honey pepper chicken, steamed pork belly with mustard greens. We stuffed ourselves full with plenty of leftovers (for 2 people). Everything is on point - excellent canto comfort food! I am very interested to try their bbq as well and many other dishes as their menu is huge. Come and support your local mom and pop restaurant if you're in the mood for some solid canto food! read more

We live in the neighborhood and walking by we always see Chinese families dining here. Today we had take out and we liked it a lot. We had braised tofu with vegetables and mushrooms and it was so yummy. 10/10 Even the mushrooms were so succulent and delicious. We also had sweet and sour chicken which was good and the chicken wings in spicy sauce. We didn't care too much for the spicy sauce so next time we will get the salt and pepper ones. We can't wait to try more items from this place. read more

We ordered food to go. Waited over 20 minutes for our food. There were multiple people come in and be seated after us and ordered food way after us and still received their food before us. They should not prioritize people that dine in before picking that ordered to go. I will never come back here and give them my money. I ordered to simple appetizers that should not have taken this long. read more

This is one of the most underrated Chinese restaurants I been to in a while. They give you huge portions here! The service is great and the food is delicious. The portions they give you there isn't like any other Chinese restaurant, They give you Samoan portions here lol. I usually finish all My food when I got out too eat but here I couldn't. I had to take it too go. If you're in the area I recommend you stop by here. You don't regret it read more

They reuse leftover food. It's a dirty secret in some chinese restaurants! Re-using leftover food. This place does it, steer clear. I have ordered from this restaurant a number of times. My usual order is the fried rice. Usually, it is fresh and delicious. However, one night I ordered the fried rice late at night. That night, my fried rice was different. It was dry and clumped. It was clear to me (a fried rice junkie) that this fried rice was from left-over reused rice. read more

B&W Kitchen - Reused leftover fried rice - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

This was such an underrated restaurant. The storefront can be easily overlooked and tends to blend into the busy intersection it sits on. I ordered pick up for wasabi chicken, salt and pepper chicken wings, roast quail, and fried pork chops. Every dish was delicious! I frequent a myriad of Chinese restaurants in the Bay, and have rarely encountered an unassuming establishment that hits it out of the park for the breadth of flavors I ordered. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive. I was surprised that they knew my pick up order the moment I said my name. Usually, restaurant staff are so busy that they'll take 30 seconds to check for the orders. I've never seen service like this before for such an unimportant detail. read more

If you are looking for authentic and delicious Chinese food, then you should definitely try out this restaurant. The food is what I grew up eating, in a Chinese household, so it makes me happy to see a restaurant like this open up in this neighborhood! I definitely recommend getting their chicken wings as an appetizer. I personally love their clay pot rice dishes (in the specials section). read more

Coworkers ordered food to go for lunch. They did not have the 3 item special anymore, which was disappointing. So we ordered off the menu and the waitress taking the order was not helpful and didn't know whether the items we wanted was available or not. After receiving the food, it looked and tasted very unappetizing. The chow fun, veggies, tofu, everything was drenched in oil and no one really enjoyed the food. They also charge you for using a credit card. Just skip this place and go down the street on Mission for way better options if you want Chinese food. read more

A hidden gem in the Excelsior! We love this place, it really hits the spot when you're craving some quick Chinese food. The staff are always so friendly The food is always consistently good here. We typically order the "3 dishes, 1 soup" combo and it's the best! It's a bang for you buck, and you can try so many different dishes from their vast menu. (I should have taken photos before we dug in, but everything smelled too good ) read more

Used to get takeout from here quite often via their 3 for $33.99 menu. Food was pretty good and portions reasonable. Unfortunately that has all changed. Phoned in an order explicitly stating, "I'd like to do these three dishes from the 3 for $33.99 menu" as usual, but when I went to pick it up the total came out to $47. I clarified I ordered from $33.99 menu and the cashier told me, "we don't do that anymore." Ok, why not tell me over the phone when I ordered? The sticker shock sucked, but I can understand it given rising prices of everything. But then the food came out and it is now maybe around half the portion size as before. They used to use these white square boxes, but now they use this black rectangular boxes which is much smaller. Higher prices with less food and no warning--definitely not coming back. read more

Very friendly staff. The food is delicious, I'd recommend getting the clams and the sweet & the sour pork ribs. They gave us free dessert at the end! The restaurant is hardly busy so the staff is very attentive but the parking is a pain. It's pretty quiet but has a nice family ambiance. read more

Been to this place for dine-in & take-out & quality is consistent. I would prefer lessen the MSG especially being a 60+ senior but was tasty. Had stir fried tofu w/slices of cod & Peking (sweet n' sour) pork for take-out. Dee Licous! The surprised was that now they charge a 3.5% credit card transaction fee. Can't blame them b/c it's the new trend among small businesses. A sign posted would of helped (early warning) instead of me hearing it from the take out customer ahead of me in line & good thing I had the cash @ hand. I'm sure they have some increased business due to their nearest competitor Ying Hue is going through renovation but even w/o it being so. Their decor is much better than YH & food stays consistently well. Regarding there was a post regarding reusing day out rice to make fried rice. 1st I have no business advantage w/the business but just maybe to educate why certain dishes seem better a day old like spaghetti, chili, pizza, bitter melon w/beef, menudo & certain stews. All fried rice is made from day old rice. Fried rice is not better with fresh rice. These r certain restaurant business strategies like chili is made from old hamburger meat or minestrone soup is made from old salad bar condiments. I personally love fried rice & seldom order it for take out b/c it's a way for me to get rid of day old rice w/my own add in's like chopped scramble eggs, spam (the meat not the file) or anything that's left over. I can eat twice as much fried rice vs. white rice. Anyways I couldn't resist to clarify. read more

This spot was recommended by my brother. Chinese food mom & pop type restaurant! Quick and friendly. Definitely try them out! - The salt & pepper fried pork chop was so good to me. Seasoned perfectly, not too salty and not dry. I can eat the whole box without any rice!! - Braised tofu & bok choy was pretty good too. Would get that again! - Yang zhou fried rice: this was average, I think it needs more flavor? Maybe I will add chili oil next time. Not bad but would probably try another fried rice! read more
