You enjoy Hong Kong styled food and drinks? This is the spot! Signature drinks like HK milk tea (奶茶) and HK lemon iced tea, which are nostalgic to most. Their menu consists of many authentic Chinese dishes, but I got the Ox Tail (photo depicted). It came with a pretty generous portion with the price at $21. Since this place is located on Noriega street, parking is rough, and make sure to read the signs! Definitely recommend to everyone! read more

Food: Ordered the baked pork chop with rice and tomato sauce. Very good quality, just a little sweeter than usual. The meal also came with free soup and jelly for dessert, which was a nice touch. Service: Fast, efficient, and straight to the point. Ambiance/Cleanliness: The biggest surprise was the bathroom. it is very clean. Speaking as a Chinese person, we don't always expect that at traditional establishments, so it was a huge plus! 4 stars. read more

Cafe Bakery & Restaurant - Baked pork chop with rice and tomato sauce - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Been here over a dozen times and have tried many dishes. This has been a staple in my family for over two decades and happy that it's stayed open all these years. In terms of selection, there's definitely a HK style dish for everyone. Baked Pork Chop Rice or the Baked Spaghetti are a vey good mix of sweet and savory. Black Pepper Sauce and Portuguese Sauce dishes are also solid if you want a little spice. Chicken as a protein is surprisingly good here as they use thick thigh pieces that get crisped up nicely. Each entree comes with a nice warm bowl of soup (have gotten anything from the HK borscht, creamy soups, and even macaroni soup). There's even daily specials where you also get a tea or milk tea. Can be a pretty busy place, so try to go early if you have a large group! read more

Second time here and tried something different today. Last time I got the white sauce fish over rice. This baked pork chops was my JAM! Taste almost like sweet and sour sauce. If you're NOT into sweet food, this will NOT be your jam. read more

We decided to try this place after seeing a great Facebook review from Adonis, and I'm glad we did. The food was absolutely amazing overall. The table next to us drove all the way from San Jose to try this place because they saw his review as well. Crazy huh? The only dish I wouldn't order again is the oxtail soup. Personally, I'm allergic to tomatoes, and for $10 the portion felt small like a cup and consisted mostly of vegetables with very little oxtail. That said, the pork chop in black bean sauce was outstanding -- incredibly flavorful and easily the highlight of the meal. The wings were also very good. Had some Hong Kong Milk Tea and loved it! We wanted to try the roast pork, but that is a Sunday special so we will definitely come on a Sunday to try it out. Overall, a great experience, and We'll definitely be back to try more dishes. read more

Food & service at Cafe Bakery remains excellent. We had 2x daily specials $20 each (Tuesday specials are baked cheese meat sauce spaghetti and fried pork chops) and a salmon steak $25. We love how it comes with a hot milk tea, soup and jello. For the salmon steak, it needed sauce. A wedge of lemon was included. The two other dishes were good. The only drawback was this mainland guy that sat next to our table was talking on his phone the entire time. Different people will have different values and will test our patience as in their culture, it is perfectly fine to talk like you are at a wet market with an outdoor voice. read more

Chinese American cafe food in the Sunset. Full dinners with Soup, Entree, Coffee / Tea / Milk Tea, and Jello! They also have daily specials and the nicest Owner / Boss Lady and her Staff of Aunties. We went on a Wednesday night and had their Pork Cutlet Special. Also had the Lightly Egg Battered Filet of Sole and their Garlic Lamb Chops. All were solid! My 97yo MIL ate up the Filet of Sole as it was tasty and easy to eat. Wife had the gigantic Pork Cutlet with Brown Gravy while I went for the Lamb (4 ribs with a lot of garlic nibs). All were good with plenty to take home! Choice of Chinese Spaghetti or White Rice... What? You never had Chinese Spaghetti? If you grew up in an old school Chinese household you will know Chinese Spaghetti as a sweet sauced spaghetti...think Chef BoyrDee or Jollibee spaghetti sauce! Love it. Service is excellent with Cantonese, English, and Mandarin speakers. They fill your hot drinks constantly! Lots of tables and the place does a very good Oi Mey or take out service. read more

No frills and no gimmick HK cafe! There are very good HK cafes in the Easy Bay so I had to hit one up when I was in the city! I got the chicken and mushroom spaghetti with a side of lemon iced tea and my gosh the portions were insane! Super gigantic for the value! The chicken was thigh meat so you get the nice, juicy, tender dark meat. The mushrooms were a very good complement to the gravy and the spaghetti was al dente. The dish came with a borscht soup, which was also equally as delicious! Iced Lemon tea was nice and cold, filled with tons of lemon and sweet just like how it should be. All in all, super solid spot! read more

Restaurant has been here for over 30 years. Consistently delicious food. But, please do not expect exceptional service. Server takes your order and brings food. It can get busy once the weekend starts. We came on a Friday evening. There were plenty of available tables around 5:30 pm, but then past 6 pm, all the tables were taken. It's a popular place and I think there are many loyal customers, including us. read more

I really miss my childhood here, with the old sticky tables and the sub $10 prices. Nowadays, Cafe Bakery is much cleaner and brighter for double the price for things (most dishes are $18+). All entrees come with some form of soup, veggies and carb (rice/spaghetti), as well as dessert (jello). It's often pretty crowded here, although turnover is quick. Bear in mind that it's more Westernized than normal HK places. I'd recommend trying the daily specials. They serve the HK borsch soup and ngai cha (milk tea) with it, which is nice. I had the chicken curry spaghetti with cheese, which was very tasty but also very heavy. The meat is so tender you could cut it with a fork. Portion sizes are huge, which is a plus, but takeout containers are 25-50 cents, so you might want to bring your own. Staff speaks limited English and Cantonese is preferred, but they're super nice. I'd recommend Cafe Bakery for sure but locals will probably remember its glory days better. read more

Hong Kong style cafe in the sunset. This place has a rotating menu of monthly specials for 19.95 for an entree, drink (hot) and dessert (jelly). The food came in big portions that can last two meals! Food was the pork cutlet, black pepper steak, chicken steak, Portuguese chicken, and oxtail. The pork cutlet came with a sauce that I wasn't a fan of, and the chicken steak tomato sauce could have been less sweet and more tangy. The oxtail was tender with lots of pieces. The Portuguese chicken came with a curry gravy topping with potatoes. All of the entrees come with a small bowl of Russian borsch soup. The chicken wings and fries were delicious and it was 6 chicken wings with a bunch of fries. This place uses Heinz ketchup and has hot sauce available upon request. They refill your milk tea and it comes with evaporated milk. There is sugar you can add (Splenda and C&H). Service was excellent and they checked in on us a couple times. They do charge $0.25 per box and bag. This is a gem in the city for Hong Kong style food at an affordable prices. Tip: the curry beef brisket is only available when it is the daily special (Friday for May) read more

The portion of the food was big. I love the 茄汁焗猪扒 baked pork chops with tomato sauce. It was delicious and the pork chops were chewy. The whole store gave me an old Hong Kong style. The staffs are responsive and serve you quickly. They have special deal for meals every da, and each day is different. Make sure you go early because sometimes at dinner time could be a line. read more

We always come here on Sundays to get the special roast pork. It's so good, you wouldn't believe. I grew up coming here, but after moving away from the city every time I'm back I have to stop by. The pork is a little salty, but pairs perfectly with rice. Portions are also huge, so we always share. The special comes with a side of tomato soup and a hot choice of your drink. Definitely worth a try read more

Decided to try this spot on a Friday afternoon. Because I ate a lot of rich food the previous day, I didn't feel like the Friday special (curry beef brisket.). So I ordered the garlic salmon. I was promptly seated and waiter took my order promptly. The cream soup came very quickly, however it was just okay. The salmon came after 10-15 minutes but it was perfect. It's crispy on the outside and tender inside, covered with crispy garlic, it was full of flavor, color, and fragrance. They did give you a small jello as dessert. It's nothing special, but it's the thought that counts. I'm allergic to caffeine so the lemon tea / coffee / milk tea is wasted on me. The place was 75% full and looked to be full of locals. It was moderately loud. I'd return to try other main dishes in the future. read more

I love their baked portuguese chicken steak rice here! I've come here for many years. Hands down serving the most authentic and flavorful baked dish I can find in the bay area, and it's a great deal! Portion size is plentiful for a great price; their specials come with borscht soup too. We always come by for takeout when we head up to SF, and it is always consistently a great. Workers here are super friendly. We call in advance for pickup and it's seamless every time The baked portuguese chicken is a huge hit for us because the sauce is superb, cheese on top is a huge bonus, the chicken is always moist and tender! Even when we get the chicken wing/drum version, it's really good chicken! I got their hot HK milk tea here once and it was pretty bad... the tea itself was weak and bitter. I was hoping for a solid HK style milk tea but it was a huge miss unfortunately. read more

Every-time I come here it feels so nostalgic! I've been coming here since I was in middle school with parents and I like that they still continue to give jello at the end of the meal (if you order from their list of set meal combos) I enjoy their chicken steak with cream corn sauce and an ice cold HK style lemon tea. Highly recommend! Big portions that can be good for sharing or saving for the rest to eat later. To-go containers are 0.25 each now* They also accept card or cash read more

Came on a Sunday night around 7:30pm. We didn't know they closed at 8pm. They were nice and sat us down. The portions were huge and it could easily be at least 2 meals. The food was delicious. Do note that they charge $0.25 per take out container. A lot of people come with their own Tupperware to bring home leftovers. read more

Randomly stumbled upon Cafe Bakery & Restaurant when another restaurant I wanted to visit was closed. I thought the price was a bit high until you see the dish in person, then you will think that it's reasonable. The meal comes with complimentary borscht soup and jello at the end. The portions are huge and comes out piping hot. Everything tasted decent, but didn't stand out and the wait time took a bit long. One order came out 20 minutes after the first dish. I ordered the Baked pork chop spaghetti with tomato sauce and cheese and it was saucy and the pork was moist. The baked pork rice with Portuguese sauce didn't have enough sauce and the meat was dry. Interesting how opposite the dishes were when they were ordered the same time. read more

This is the best place for hk style meals! Been coming here since I was a kid, and I'm so glad that they're still in business. The waiters are usually really nice and service is pretty good. Most if not all items come with broccoli and corn, and a choice of spaghetti or rice. The specials come with a drink of choice. Each dish comes with soup of the day and dessert (jello) Beef tongue - 3.9/5, three thick slices of beef tongue topped with sauce of choice (we chose mushroom). It tasted quite beefy and was tender. It wasn't quite what my mom expected, but it was alright. Roast chicken (saturday special) - 3.9/5, two big salt and pepper roast chicken legs with scallion and ginger sauce. Some parts of the chicken were perfectly flavored, while other unfortunate parts were too salty (my lips tingled!). Overall, decent chicken meal. Fried pork chop (saturday special) - 5/5, two big fried pork chops with mushroom sauce. DELICIOUS. It was still crispy once it came out, and the sauce paired with it so well. Their meats are always tender and moist!! Portuguese curry chicken - 5/5, Portuguese curry with cheese on top of chicken steak. A little spicy and cheesy. Definitely one of the must haves whenever we come here (or the baked tomato sauce version)! read more

Cafe Bakery is an SF institution. It was the best place to get a cheap meal, but now you pay a little more (inflation you know..) but the food quality and portions are just as large. I love their chicken steak which is just a large deboned chicken thigh seared to perfection. You don't just get one - you get three!! It's like the Costco of Hong Kong food! In my younger years. I would be able to down a whole meal, but alas not anymore. Service is friendly but stern - don't mess around in there. It is only Asian here, 'cause it's still that good! read more

Food is delicious, portions are huge, and ambiance is casual. We happened upon this place on a walk down Noriega and chose the place with the most people inside - and for good reason. Just because they don't coddle you as a customer doesn't mean the service is not good. They are quick to refill drinks (always coming by and making sure your cup is full. Service is prompt - dishes are cleared away as soon as you're done, and food comes out quickly. Feels like a taste of an HK Cha chaan teng in the middle of San Francisco. Would make it a point to stop by if I'm in the neighborhood. read more

I've been coming here for the past 20 years and it's a sunset classic for Hong Kong style food. I love love love baked dishes and this is the place to get it.

Each enough for 1.5 meals and come with soup and jello for dessert! read more

Wasn't able to order the curry beef brisket as it's a Friday only special. Had the oxtail stew which was good. We also ordered the chicken wings/fries and the Saturday roasted chicken leg special. Average lunch was $20/per person. I'd say that food portions were good but I wouldn't say overly generous. I am not a fan of the spaghetti sauce; too sweet for me. Service was good. Jello was a nice touch. Tomato soup was ok too. Came on a Saturday after 11:30. By noon, tables were 80% filled. read more

If you're looking for pretty decent food, great prices, AND large portions , then this is a nice place to go. This is a Hong Kong styled cafe and menu. Stubbled on this place randomly with a friend as the restaurant we wanted to go to on noriega was closed. Service is friendly and nice. We had the friend sod with rice and spicy chicken wings. Comes with a side of soup and jello. It looks pretty small from the outside but once you walk in it was a lot bigger and busier than I thought. It was pretty but for a random Tuesday. I feel like they would get more business if their windows weren't covered by curtains but also understand it's purpose as it helps block out the sun. read more

The best HK style cafe outside of chinatown with daily chef specials including a choice of 2 entrees, soup, jello, and a drink.

Solid Hong Kong style food. Have been coming here since before I could walk and interior looks exactly the same. The only thing I miss are the rolls that used to come with the soup. RIP the bakery next door. Service is nothing to write home about... just standard Chinese service. But baked pork chop with any sauce is a must! Daily specials change every month and there's always something for everyone. read more

Had a casual dinner here with a friend and it's still great! Prices have gone up, but that's to be expected; everything has gone up in the last couple of years. I ordered my usual pork chops with black pepper sauce and there were still two good sized pork chops, broccoli, corn (probably frozen), and two scoops of rice. It was enough food for two big meals, especially since they still give you soup and jello when you eat there. The soup this time was a cabbage borsch and the pork chops were moist and tender, just as I remember them. I really wish they'd bring back the absolutely heavenly dinner rolls they used to serve (and their prime rib dinner, for that matter!!). My friend had the scallops and prawns with tomato sauce and spaghetti. There were two good sized scallops and six good sized prawns, but he said the "tomato sauce" was kind of like a sweet and sour sauce, which he wasn't expecting and didn't love. Since his was one of the chef specials for the night, he also got milk tea with his dinner. My black pepper pork chops have increased in price by $3.50, but it's still far less expensive than going anywhere else for a two porkchop dinner! I will be back! read more

A classic Hong Kong diner with favorites such as baked pork chop rice and Portuguese chicken. Everyday there is different special where you can choose from two entrees and you get a soup, drink, and jello dessert. I especially love their hk milk tea its rich and strong. Another favorite is the chicken wings and fries. The chicken is fresh out of the fried and comes to the table piping hot juicy and crispy. Know for their large portions you can easily share a couple mains between a group. If you're trying to stay away from so much carbs you can customize your dish to be served over veggies in place of rice or spaghetti. Still missing their freshly baked rolls as they were slightly sweet and fluffy but maybe I'll just have to learn to be a baker myself! read more

A Hong Kong café I've loved for a long time! Since the pandemic, many things have changed. Some businesses have thrived, while others that used to do well have started struggling. This place is one of the latter. In recent years, everything has become much more expensive, leading to significant changes in restaurant prices as well. This café is no exception. Once a spot where people would line up, it's hard to find those scenes anymore. That said, this place is still delicious, still affordable, and still serves generous portions! They have daily specials, and they even serve jello for dessert! I love their pasta, pork chops, and milk tea--it's all so good! read more

I only discovered this restaurant because my mom brought a to-go order home. It was a Baked Chicken with Portuguese Sauce that left such an impression that I had to bookmark and visit in person. We managed to stop in on a Saturday night, just before closing time at 8:00PM. The place was packed but we were able to get seated with 30 minutes to spare. It's a no frills restaurant with traditional Hong Kong cafe options. Most meals come with soup, veggies, rice, AND dessert! Each dish is not 10/10 crazy good but it will surely leave you satisfied. read more
