    Steak with garlic noodles
    Christina L.

    Besides chicken, yes there are other protein, but mostly chicken given its name lol. The food was delicious, but I was hoping for larger noodle soup (pho) portion sizes. Not too busy on the weekend alone 2pm. Order at the counter, get a number, and seat yourself. Food came in about 15 minutes, super fresh food. Ordered a five spice noodle soup ($17.50) and steak with garlic noodles ($20). The space was pretty clean, simple design. The noodle soup had a traditional flat wide noodles which tasted delicious. In a chicken broth with protein on the side. The five chicken piece ends had a some dryness. Dipping in the soup helped with the dryness. For the chicken, I think going for sauce ones would have been better. As for the steak with garlic noodles, it was cooked medium rare which was great, super tender to eat. Garlic noodles were garlicky which tasted delicious. Overall, super unique restaurant on Valencia street with fresh flavors.

    Who doesn't like fried chicken? It's like a katsu but with popcorn chicken seasoning. That along with a nice bowl of satay noodles. Would def come back to try out their different noodles that they have.

    Popcorn Chicken
    Andres N.

    Super casual easy going spot with delicious and fresh food. Obviously the main thing here is chicken so we tried the popcorn chicken and spring rolls. Both were solid and tasted very fresh! Loved the texture of the popcorn chicken. I appreciated that the food is served on actual plates and not disposable or a basket or to go containers. Makes it more dine in friendly. Will definitely return to try a bunch more items! Service was friendly and patient while we took a moment to decide on what to get. Highly recommend!

    I may be an outlier in my experience with Chic n' Time as I thought everything was just ok. My visit took place about a month ago. I opted for a bowl of shrimp pho and had a few bites of the spicy noodle soup. The shrimp pho ($17.XX) was rather bland, particularly the broth. I was expecting at least some bean sprouts or other toppings to be included. Substitutions aren't encouraged or accomodated, but at least the cashier ran the idea with the chef/manager. The restaurant does have a nice inviting space for quick dining. Chic n' Time is located in the heart of the Mission, parking can be difficult, but lots of bus lines near by and BART is about a few blocks away. I'm willing to try this restaurant again, but probably not any time soon. #4/2025

    Five Spice Chicken with Garlic Noodles
    Sarah T.

    simple and quick place to get a balanced meal for a good price. got the five spice chicken with garlic noodles. SO GOOD! noodles were slightly overcooked (too soft) but strong umami garlic flavor. chicken was super flavorful and the sweet sauce really balanced out the salty flavors. loved that there is a side of steamed broccoli to balance out the flavorful meal. overall, a solid place and come hungry since the portions are huge!

    Chicken steak
    Dominic B.

    Quick weekend afternoon late lunch for 2 around 2:30pm. Restaurant was about 1/3 full with a casual stream of to go orders too. Was able to order right away. Order from the counter in the back. Menu is available and you can step aside to look through it if needed. After ordering, grab a seat anywhere and the food will come out to you. Drinks are self serve from a fridge next to the ordering counter. Taiwanese chicken steak. Typically my go to, if not the five spice chicken. Can be ordered with white rice or garlic noodles. Also a few pieces of brocoli. Their garlic noodles are great but I opted for rice this time. The chicken is a huge piece, perfectly fried. Crispy exterior with very juicy meat inside. Comes with a red chili pepper powder you can sprinkle on the dish + a sweet and sour type sauce that pairs nicely with the chicken. Just under $20 for a dish that'll fill you up well.

    Garlic butter prawns with garlic noodles
    Tiffany C.

    I wasn't planning on coming to this spot; it ended up being a back up to a restaurant I wanted to go to originally, but the line was too long at that place. I'm glad I ended up stumbling upon Chic n' Time as I had a great meal here. I ordered the popcorn chicken as an appetizer and for my main course, I got the garlic butter prawns with garlic noodles. The portions here are generous, and the flavors are on point. The chili powder for the popcorn chicken is really flavorful and added a nice kick to the appetizer. The popcorn chicken bites were pretty tender and had a lot of crunch. The garlic butter prawn dish was on the oily side given the amount of butter they put, but it was good! They also added some broccoli which helped the dish taste just a tad healthier than what it actually is lol. We also had a taro milk tea to share which frankly wasn't that good. Definitely not a place to get your milk tea fix. I'd skip out on the drinks here, but do try their food items. You'll leave stuffed and with a box of leftovers!

    Garlic Noodles
    Jenny X.

    Came here on a Thursday night and there were no issues finding a seat! Lots of seating and nice staff. Good: - I got the garlic noodles with BBQ chicken - definitely good portion sizes here, you won't be hungry coming out of it - I liked the crunchy texture of the BBQ chicken too - The vibe is very chill and we sat there for a while catching up - quiet inside Bad: - Took some time for the food to come out Overall was a really fun casual place to get a meal. It's not too expensive and the food is unique!

    Five spice chicken with garlic noodles and satay pho with fried chicken
    Jessica L.

    Food: - Garlic noodles are buttery, salty, and full of chunks of garlic. - Five spice chicken thigh is perfectly seasoned and moist. - Fried chicken is crunchy, moist, but a bit salty. - Satay pho was a lot spicier than I was anticipating and I actually could not finish the broth. Service: Feels to be family owned and cashier/food servers were always very kind. Ambiance: - There is seating inside and outside. - A lot of people were grabbing take out. Over all, this was a great food option in Mission!

    Came here in a pretty large group after church. We come pretty regularly and every time we do they are always so sweet and accommodating. The food is also really good and the portions are more than enough! I love the five spice chicken garlic noodles! The five spice chicken is def the star! The owners and employees are always so welcoming and quick to help. I definitely recommend coming here for a nice casual bite, the food, the staff, and vibes will not disappoint!

    Popcorn Chicken
    Jade L.

    The popcorn chicken I got here was super crispy and flavourful. it was the perfect snack/light meal. One of the best I've had and I'd get it again.

    This is what I am familiar with when I order from Perilla.
    Rudy L.

    I placed an pick up order Via Uber Eats for a restaurant I've eaten at plenty of times called "Perilla" when I arrived I noticed the door said Chic N' Time, I immediately walk out of the restaurant thinking I went into the wrong place. I confirm on my phone the address and it shows that I am at the correct place. I go back inside and speak with an employee and I ask him was this Perilla, he looked confused and said no this is Chic N Time, I asked him where was Perilla, he said he never heard of them. I then show him my Uber Eats order on my phone and he confirmed that he had my order and it was ready for pick up. I reluctantly take the food and return home, soon as I open the bag I can instantly tell that this was not going to be to my liking. I ordered the grilled beef and garlic noodles, it honestly looked like a sliced New York steak strip, tasted nothing like the beef from Perilla. I reached out to Uber Eats, they tried to deny my refund request at first but I escalated it to a manager and eventually my order was approved for a refund. Google list two locations for Perilla, 525 Haight st and 836 Irving St. Something is going on, either this restaurant is catfishing as Perilla on Uber Eats and is stealing pictures from the real Perilla or some type of "partnership" is going on between these two. Below I will show a picture of what I am use to getting from Perilla at 525 Haight st vs what I received today from "Chic N Time. Ubereats was not able to give me an answer to this whole ordeal. I am very confused.

    Peppercorn Chicken Wings and the Beef Satay Noodle Soup
    Aaron Z.

    I have no idea why this place isn't more popular. I'd guess it's because the inside is casual and not as Insta-ready as its peers. What it does have is delicious modern Asian food at good prices and a perfect location. The service was prompt and kind; just order at the counter and sit. Peppercorn Chicken Wings: spicy and crispy wings topped with fried garlic, green onions, and jalapenos. I am so into it Beef Satay Noodle Soup: Actually spicy in the best way. Tons of flavor with a bunch of julienned cucumbers. The noodles were plentiful and bouncy. I'd definitely get this again.

We arrived about 30 minutes after opening and waited roughly another 30 minutes before we could order at the kiosk and get seated. The restaurant is very small with only about a dozen seats. You wait until a seat opens up before ordering, so depending on availability, you may end up sitting alongside other parties. The whole setup and atmosphere reminded me so much of the small soba restaurants I visited in Japan and added to how authentic the experience felt. I ordered the Tenzaru Soba with Omakase Tempura and was genuinely impressed. The soba portion was incredibly generous, and I left very full. The noodles were some of the most authentic soba I've had in California, and I ate every last bit. Everything felt simple, carefully made, and satisfying. Parking is street parking only, but we were able to find a spot nearby and walk over. I would absolutely come back to Sobakatsu, just with the expectation that there may be a wait.

So if you're starving, I suggest getting a light snack. The menu is short but sweet which means they can focus on their craft. Since it was a rather windy and cold day, I ordered the tenkake (hot soba) with shrimp tempura and the chef's special tempura. The soba noodles were very soft and tasty, the broth was perfection. The tempura were lightly battered and not too oily. I noticed most people ordered the dry soba so I'll be sure to give that a try when I return. Was it worth the wait? Not really but if you're in the mood for soba and fresh tempura, then this is your spot.

They definitely try their best to keep the line moving and one of the main ways it seems is to highly encourage guests to look at the menu while they are waiting in line outside so as soon as they are seated they can place their order and then eat quickly so then they can vacate the seat for the next person. Because this is exactly what happened to us. Also they have written warnings and they do tell you that their policy is everybody must order their own entree there's no splitting. I wouldn't call the servers overly friendly ( we had to flag them down to order drinks after our food was served) but the food came out quickly and the orders were accurate and it tasted amazing. I have never seen MATCHA flavored Ramen anywhere else and since I'm a matcha girly, you know I had to try the Duck Matcha Ramen. When asked, the waitress was honest and said "people who like matcha, like it." Happily I am one of those people and I did like it! If you've got 45 minutes to an hour to kill chatting with your friends in line and don't mind slipping down your Ramen quickly in tight quarters then you should give this place a try.

This is a Chicken based broth ramen (Toripaitan) place. For family of 4 (2 teenage boys), we ordered $270 worth of food. 2 signature Toripaitan ramens, 1 signature Toripaitan Spicy ramen, 1 classic Toripaitan ramen, 1 Hokkaido uni and A5 Wagyu hand roll, 2 orders of 5 pieces A5 Wagyu sushi, 1 side order of A5 Wagyu slice XL, 1 corn ribs, 1 edamame, 1 vegan fried chicken made out of oyster mushroom, and 1 Matcha IPA. The ramen bowl itself is about $25/bowl. My signature Toripaitan spicy bowl soup surprisingly was not that hot. That's too bad. The thick noodles were hot though. Taste was decent. But the lukewarm broth ruined it for me. I like the side dishes better. Interesting ramen like the matcha duck and lamb cumin ramen might be with trying next time.

Literally a half a block from our hotel, Yelp showed us a 4.6 rated restaurant. Read some reviews and we were sold. We were both hungry (with my foodie son) and sat down for an early dinner. Saki was the first order of business, with an excellent recommendation from our service (sweetest person ever) Dry and not too sweet. So early we jumped right into the happy hour appetizers. The Brussels were dreamy, the chicken was pure perfection and the gyoza spectacular. Also dove into the octopus balls (not literally )and they were ridiculous. We also ordered the Niki Ramen that had us in "we can't stop eating, mode. The broth was incredible and the shaved pork just over the top! A free drink suddenly appeared at the table and we were eternally thankful. Finished with the custard and we both wept! Yes, THAT good! The service was impeccable, friendly, funny, attentive, sweet, etc. 5/5 service, just like the food. SO cute on the inside with only around 8 tables.

Granted, we came in around 9 PM, about an hour before closing, so we understood that the kitchen was getting toward the end of the night. We ordered a few dishes to share and there were actually some highlights. The scallops: These were great! Easily one of the better dishes we ordered. The karaage chicken: The chicken itself had great flavor, but the creamy sauce on top was extremely rich and ended up overpowering the chicken. I think with less sauce, this could have been a really good dish. Now, the ramen: This is where I was genuinely left speechless. I don't think I've ever had ramen with absolutely no umami. Like, none. It was one of the strangest things I've ever tasted. I was biting into something, there were textures in my mouth, it smelled great... but that was it. No depth. No richness. No umami. The broth, meat, and even the noodles somehow had almost no flavor. The only thing that really came through was the greasy chili oil that lingered on your tongue afterward. After a couple of bites, we looked at each other and decided to leave. At that point, most of the food was still sitting on the table practically untouched. Maybe we caught the kitchen on an off night, especially coming in later in the evening. The scallops showed us that there's definitely potential here, but unfortunately, the ramen was such a miss that it overshadowed the rest of the meal for us.
