I found this place through Reddit where it was recommended to someone who was seeking "American" Chinese food, which is exactly what I was looking for too. The General Tso's Chicken was AMAZING, it was everything I hoped it would be. Unfortunately the spicy green beans I ordered didn't make it into my takeout bag and I got cream cheese wontons instead, which I didn't order. I didn't find this out until I got back to my hotel, so I had to just go without the green beans which was disappointing. Despite that small hiccup, I would definitely go back. The man who took my order was very friendly and the restaurant was clean and the food I got tasted delicious! read more

City Chopsticks feels like one of those quintessential Chinese takeout spots that is essential to have in your neighborhood. We came in on a Sunday around noon, and they were extremely fast in taking our order and making our food. I think we were in and out within like 7 minutes. We got the Kung Pao Chicken and Spicy Basil Chicken. Both were incredibly delicious--I loved that the flavors in both were good without being too much, and they had a good amount of vegetables in each of the dishes. I do wish they had more chicken, but overall, I really enjoyed everything. My only complaint is that it's a little on the pricier side for what you're getting, but that won't stop me from coming back! read more

The food I had delivered to my address was so very good. I love Asian food which is why bi chose this restaurant. The orange chicken was finger licking good and I love every bite of it. The fried rice was also amazing . I highly recommend this place if you want Chinese food on a budget. The service was also great and the ambiance was also amazing from what other people have said. I wish I could give them 200 stars read more

I was bored this evening and kinda hungry after work. As I walked home my initial thought was heading to the Korean restaurant on Sutter Street and get my favorite grilled chicken gizzards, but for some reason I ended up here. Dang it, one more block! Anyway, I just live directly across the street. Maybe it was the convenience of not having to walk back one block up, I didn't know. I ordered sweet and sour pork & hot and sour soup. The sweet and sour pork batter was hard as rocks and hot & sour soup was too salty. Dang it, it was just one more block. read more

Great food here & the manager is very helpful. Always a great experience that keeps you coming back as my family & I practice often. It would be nice to keep the window clearer but all in all a good spot. read more

Was walking by after looking at Christmas lights and decided to stop in for dinner. It's a small hole in the wall shop, but definitely worth stopping in. The food was delicious, no weird textured chicken that you get at a lot of places. It was a bit pricey for the amount of food that you get but it's to be expected in the city. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try, I had the general tso chicken and white rice. The man that was working was kind and answered all of my questions without hesitation, great service. read more

City Chopsticks - 1. Hunan General Tso's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Delivery lunch while working. Had this a while ago. Ordered the beef bean curd and an order of potstickers. Not a bad lunch, your average Chinese food. No interaction with service staff as this was a delivery. By the way, I read another review saying their phone number is wrong, so I just look it up and send Yelp an update. Here it is in case they don't update it or takes a few days. (Four-1-Five) 563-1085. Hope that helps everyone. read more

Omg... I'm not a writer but I just want to give a shout out to this place. We discovered this on accident and it's going to be our go to spot. We ordered the Mongolian beef and kung pao chicken. Both were delicious. I liked the fact that there were a good balance of meat and veggies, which were both quality. I can't wait to try more items! read more

Visited the city for a few days. Wanted an early dinner and wanted take out. Chinatown was in walking distance but the place I wanted to go to wasn't open. Ended up here. The photos I saw online didn't look too appetizing. But thought "it's San Fran! The worst Chinese is still pretty decent." I was wrong. This is a 2 star spot. That should tell you pretty much everything. I ordered the beef chow mein and the Hunan General Tsuo 's Chicken. The chow mein in comparison to every other chow mein I've had was lacking in flavor. It just felt like the bare minimum was done to cook it. The chicken was simply okay. Felt like it could have been tossed a bit better so that the sauce could be coated all over and not just on one side. Came in on a Tuesday around 4pm. There were a couple eating inside and two people picking up. The host was also the cook. So taking my order was a little slow. The seating area was okay. The ambiance was not memorable. Wouldn't eat here. It's clean. But because it's very casual. I would say it's probably more of a quick lunch spot rather than a date night spot. There was barely an aroma in the air when I entered and should have left at that point but I talked myself into it because it wasn't really expensive. It's about 10-13 dollars per item. read more

City Chopstix is where I go when I need some chicken soup for the soul, or rather, some deliciously indulgent Chinese food. The flavors are anything but simple. Let me guide you to the best dishes. Start with the salt and pepper pork ribs--crispy and savory with just the right amount of spice. Next, dive into the eggplant with garlic, so good you'll forget you ever disliked vegetables. The snow pea chicken is a delightful mix of tender chicken and crunchy peas. And of course, no meal is complete without the hot and sour soup, a tangy and spicy concoction that will warm you from the inside out. City Chopstix feels like Chinese homecooking--fast, hearty, and with generous portions. It's perfect for when you want a comforting, satisfying meal. read more

Chow mien was odd and sweet. Shrimp were funky. That's long enough, not every review has to be a novel

One of my favorite places to eat! They have the best chow mein! Their customer service is amazing I have been following them from when they were first open on the corner of Geary and Jones. Food always comes out within 15-20min depending on how busy they are. read more

First time I went, I was skeptical. City Chopsticks? I was afraid it was a chop suey or egg foo yung place. But noo! Arguably the BEST General Cho's Chicken in the Bay Area. Mongolian Beef is also good as well as the Crispy Sesame Beef. Back to General Cho's Chicken...better than LA or NY as well. Consistently good. Chef is a veteran chef at good restaurants for decades. Highly recommended! read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. We ordered our food. It showed up 30 minutes late. It was ice cold. They didn't give any silverware and they didn't even give us any white rice to go with our general Zoe chicken. When I called to ask questions they were rude. I would never recommend going to this place. It was a bad experience and I couldn't even eat the food. I threw it out because it was ice cold. Avoid this place at all cost! read more

I feel like this store is a hidden gem on Bush Street. We came here on my friend's recommendation as she tends to come often. The restaurant seemed very casual and not a lot of people eating but they had a lot of delivery. We got seated right away and the food came out quickly as well. We thought that the portions and the pricing were good as well. As for the food, they were good. They seemed fresh and well made. I will definitely come again. read more

Decent spot for Chinese takeout in the Nob Hill area. Dependable delivery and friendly service. I've ordered in and done takeout and have been consistently satisfied. The rice plates are great for solo diners - just the right size for a meal with a little extra for later. The house rice plate has a nice mix of pork, beef, and shrimp with tender crunchy vegetables stir fried with a savory brown sauce with a slight kick of spice. Layer on the chili sauce for an extra kick. Comfort Chinese food and a great value for just over $10. Easy, no fuss weeknight meal option. City Chopsticks should be considered if you're in the hood. read more

I have been going to the city chopsticks for quite some time. Sometimes just arriving to get to go sometimes for there and sometimes I call on the phone and order.. Today I clicked on the phone number listed as theirs and I got hung up on her. That's odd so I clicked on the number again and I got hung up on again very hatefuly. Since I was on my way home and passing, I entered the restaurant and asked if the number listed and I showed it to him on yelp was correct and he said no this phone number and showed me the menu and I asked him to please contact Yelp and get that straightened out because I don't need this in my day and I'm sure neither do the people who are getting these phone calls.. I have options I don't need to go there and I won't be going there again . Goodbye city chopsticks! read more

They are scammers, Make sure to check your Bill and asked for a receipt. They charge 18% service fee automatically without any announcement. This is a completed scam. Which also proves that the SF food service inspectors are useless. A waste of tax payers' money. read more

For take out-Good food at a good price- and fast! Especially enjoyed the Shanghai noodles and broccoli beef

I love this Chinese restaurant. It's not super fancy inside, but the food is amazing and I love the eggplant dishes. They have either by itself or with chicken so so good and the beef dishes too like beef with broccoli and kind of just really good people order all the time. read more

Came before the little Wayne concert. This place was a bit small but considering SF area it was average. Upon arrival we was greet and seated. We was hungry from the drive to SF so we order quickly.

All the dishes we order was super delicious came so so fresh you can taste the crispy pork and the wonton. I highly recommend this place! read more

Food is always on point! Tend to always order take out and it's ready pretty fast but quality is always excellent

Basic Chinese joint that has been a life saver during these stay-at-home months. Pretty good menu that covers people who enjoy beef/chicken and those veggie lovers. You know, your cousin/sibling who just suddenly became a vegetarian and now you have to find a place to take them out and yet you still want to find a place for yourself to enjoy some sort of meat. The general Tso chicken is a great flavorful dish. read more

They're horrible. The food is terrible, it came out cold, and the portions are tiny. They're the worst Chinese food in SF. THE WORST.

I came in for take out. I feel bad giving only 3 stars because the guy was super nice and seems they genuinely care for their customers. Good value and overall decent food but everything I ordered was not quite what I wanted. I had wor won ton soup, the broth had tons of seasoning when I just wanted a light chicken broth like what you usually get everywhere else. Some people may like this more but I didn't care for it. The honey walnut shrimp was seriously lacking sauce. One of the shrimp had 0 sauce, the rest were only half covered. If they would've doubled the sauce it would have been perfect. I also got sui Mai and they seemed somewhat greasy, even though they are steamed. On a more positive note all the food did taste very fresh. I'm not sure if I will be back (I do like a good deal so maybe.) I also wish they gave a fortune cookie. read more
