We happened across this place after visiting the cemeteries. The food is such a great value! Almost all the plate lunches are $5 each and you get a huge helping of garlic rice with your choice of meat and pineapple and a poached egg. Our kids loved the food here and we all left with happy tummies. We seriously considered stocking up for dinners this week, but will certainly be back! read more

I used to go the chain restaurant across the street for the Filipino breakfast. A friend recommended Gateway, and have been a fan ever since. Gateway's prices are lower, you get bigger portions, and the guy in the kitchen in the back is always super friendly. read more

My girlfriend and I visited Gateway Kitchen two times for breakfast during our week long stay in California. We would have been here more times if we found out about it earlier! The food is inexpensive and very delicious. The quantity of food you receive is also very generous! Our favorite was definitely the longanisa, but in general the meats were full of flavor and cooked well. Would definitely recommend this place if you're in Daly City. read more

"Hey boss!" "What would you like, boss?" All these common courteous Filipino greetings and questions were asked by a Chinese lady- my own peoples! The workers in the kitchen all listen to Hong Kong music and cook authentic Filipino cuisines at a really cheap price. For $2.99, I ordered the Longaniza over rice. I get two grilled Filipino sausages with scramble eggs and a heaping scoop of garlic rice. The sausages were grilled nicely and spicy. The stapled Garlic rice has a very powerful garlic taste. My meal was an affordable meal and definitely a comforting Filipino meal. Upon my exiting and paying my meal (Cash only), the same lady asked me, "Good meal, boss?" When I got to my car and guess what I put on my Pandora Radio? Bruce Springsteen, "The Boss". Cheap price for good authentic Filipino meal...I'll be back, boss! read more

Gateway Kitchen - My two piece of Longaniza meal for $2.99+tax. - Filipino Near Me - Daly City, California

A comfort food haven for pajama people. I've never been to a restaurant where so many people were dressed in pajamas. The place is a dive. They store boxes in the dining area. The tables are sticky. The Filipino breakfasts (silogs) are impossibly cheap ($4 and under) and the portions obscene (1 order is enough for two meals). You can help yourself to water. * Hong Kong pork chop, served with garlic rice and pineapple chunks ($3.99). The pork chops are massive (you get two), dipped in a batter and deep fried. The seasoned thin crust is extra crunchy and addictive. The meat is fairly tender. The huge pile of garlic fried rice topped with a warm fried egg and garlic bits is addictive too, especially when it's topped with sriracha and a dash of vinegar. Greasy goodness. Cash only. read more

It's rare to find a place in the Bay Area who serve a full breakfast meal for under $5. Food portion is generous and tastes good. This is my go to "Silog" place! read more

Strait up dive, hole in the wall Superstar style. Actually this place is cleaner than Superstar which is the hole in the wall I grew up with down the street. As soon as I walked in I saw an old lady in the back making fried rice in the biggest wok I've ever seen. She was later bussing the tables! Walk up to the counter and order. If you're dining in, you pay at the end. * HK STYLE PORKCHOP $3.50. A mountain of food for $4! Lightly battered then fried thinly cut pork chop over garlic rice, pineapple chunks, and a fried egg. Tender, salty, crispy, fatty. Bring the tums because you'll get heartburn later. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/FhPbn34bMq1dw9YcNWYWAg?select=8rjLwPEuEAYvqPdDjjYAyg) 5 star value for 3 star food = 3.3 rounding up because the family who runs this are really nice. Definite cheap eats bargain bites. I wouldn't mind coming back to try more from their menu if I only had a couple dollars in my pocket.(http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/FhPbn34bMq1dw9YcNWYWAg?select=2zgkDYZ0olUUbtV9oOQpEg) read more

I call this place SuperStar 2 coz it's the same stuff run by the same family. Great cheap food that's been around since I can remember from the late 90s when the superstar at Geneva and mission sold their tapsilog for $1.98!!. read more

This place is basically the Daly City version of Superstar Restaurant in San Francisco. If I'm not mistaken, they have the same owner, and understandably, share the same menu. I've read reviews here about people complaining about the cleanliness of this place, to all of you who say this, you obviously have never been to Superstar. Comparably speaking, I think this place is cleaner than Superstar. Now let me make this perfectly clear, Gateway Kitchen isn't a place you go for great ambience or service nor do you come here for gourmet cuisine. You basically come here to fill up on gratuitous portions of greasy food for a relatively low price. It would make great hangover food, if they were only open late. Hong Kong style pork chops totally rock. It's all I ever get here. Haven't been disappointed yet! read more

This is one of my favorite places to have Filipino Breakfast. One of the main reasons is it's inexpensive and the food taste great!!! The store itself has about 7 tables that can accommodate about 15-18 people. The cashier lady is usually the one who takes the order from the store and from phone orders and payment is cash only. This place gets crowded during lunch hours when i go. The service is friendly. There are varieties of Filipino Breakfast, but the favorites that most people order are: HK Porkchop, bangus (tail), fried chicken, tapa, and tocino. I love their bacon because it's fried just right and it's big. Filipino Breakfast comes with garlic fried rice unless you want regular white rice. It comes along with either slice of pineapple or tomatoes. Definitely one of the Filipino Breakfast place I would go try since it's inexpensive yet the food is good and filling. read more

OMG. Greasy delicious Filipino food for about $3-/+, I'm there! I love breakfast. I love eggs. So that probably explains my love for silogs. My usual order here; Tosilog with a side of longanisa. Comes out to about $5 and some change. Tocino is bomb! Sweet and has a nice crispy glaze on the outside. Longanisa has lots of flavor packed in those tiny weenies. They give you a FAT scoop of garlic with roasted garlic on top. It's a humble family run joint. It does get super busy during the lunch rush on the weekends but you can always call in your orders ahead of time. read more

Before that dude blew up the spot this place was great.! ..... still is. Love the HK pork chops with garlic rice. Everything else is fire also. read more

Favorite place! They need to be open more often. I always get the normal pork chops. Friendly cooks/owners.

There's not much to say about this no frill Chinese run Filipino breakfast place. They have a short menu list but what they have on the list, they make very good. You come here for the cheap yet good food cause there's not much to say about the venue. Their dining area also functions as their storage area. LOL! The front is run by a Chinese lady who takes your order, serve your food and also serves as your cashier. A one woman show and she's very efficient! Their menu is mostly comprise of silogs(garlic fried rice, fried egg and fried viand) which is typical Filipino breakfast. I usually order their quarter leg silog or their pork chop silog. One order is huge, all for less than $5! Street parking only. Make sure you have cash cause this place only accept cash. Line could be long specially during early breakfast hours and lunch hours. read more

The prices on here is not the same in the restaurant. This is the old prices. These prices need to be upgraded. This is still the cheapest place to buy breakfast. Cool and friendly staff. Been coming here since they opened and was shocked they're related to Superstar where we all hanged out, Homies from Balboa and Denman. Friendly staff and owners. read more

4 solid stars, for portion and price!!! Reminds me alot of Superstar farther down mission. Nothing fancy at this spot, just huge portions for cheap price literally under $5 for a huge portion of deep fried battered and beaten Hong Kong style pork chops. with a huge portion of garlic rice add one fried egg over easy with 2 slices of tomato and you will be well past coma status after devouring your plate. again nothing special other then portion and price, you can taste the msg coat every part of your inner lining after dining here, you know exactly what your paying for when you come here. Healthy food, definitely not, this is where you go on your cheat day more like cheat month haha, a must try if your looking for man food where you don't count calories or worry bout if this will make you sluggish for the rest of the day. food **** for portion alone definitely 4 stars price $ under 5 bucks for most plates that offer some sort of meat several scoops of garlic rice, fried over easy egg, and 2 thick slices of tomato service *** ambiance *** alot like Superstar but tad cleaner spot is not for the faint of heart this is huge portion, for a cheap price, definitely not a spot you go to eat healthy read more

Just thinking about this place makes me drool.. This place has some bombass Filipino food. It comes out fast & is hot. Your plate usually comes with garlic rice, an egg, & pineapple, which is a bonus. You end up keeping your wallet happy with these prices plus you leave feeling satisfied. Definitely my go to spot in that area when I'm hungry. read more

Gateway Kitchen - Some cheap, crackin tocino! - Filipino Near Me - Daly City, California

All right yelpers, so who doesn't like restaurants that are fast, cheap & delicious? Usually restaurants have to sacrifice one of those traits, but this place takes all 3 and smacks you in the face with it. Here's the breakdown with its ups and downs: Location: It's a small store on the side of mission street, so parking is a bit of a challenge. For the non-city folk who's not comfortable with parallel parking in tight spots, this can be a challenge. There's some residential spots to park, if any are open. Also, the streets are metered, so bring some quarters. Since they are a fast restaurant, you can be in and out within 25-30 minutes. Inside: It's very small. (I think a total of 7 tables? might be wrong). Most call in their order and pick up to go. One of the ladies that work there always goes around to clean up the tables after being used right away so others can sit. It's a bit cramped, so be prepared to stand outside for a bit. Service: Before going in, just be warned: it is cash only. Okay, now that that's out of the way, here's how things work: You go into the restaurant and get in line. At the counter, let the lady know what you want to order. Right after, you find a table and sit. Your utensils and napkin will be brought to you right away. Within 5-10 minutes, boom. Food is in front of you. After, you go back to the counter, pay, then leave. Simple and direct. Food: So the taste of the food is phenomenal! First off, they give a LOT of rice. By default, you get garlic rice, but you can request white rice. But the garlic rice.... soooo good. I recommend getting Tocilog. Rice, Tocino, Egg & Pineapple slices. The satisfaction from the food is similar to the waking up early in the morning without needing to hit the snooze button or feeling tired. Oh yeah... we all had at least one of those days. Eat in or Take Out, its good regardless. Overall, you can never go wrong with eating here. So go now. Right now. Drop what you are doing and go eat here! 10/10 would date. read more

Gateway Kitchen - Tocilog - Filipino Near Me - Daly City, California

I've never written a review for Gateway Kitchen??? Ridonkulous!! This place is consistent. And so am I. I order the exact same thing every time, which is what they're known for... their rice plates aka "silogs" include a heaping pile of greasy brown garlic rice topped with fried garlic, fried egg, pineapples, and your meat of choice. I love how she always bring me an extra plate and a tiny "platito" container for my vinegar... and she has a memory like a hawk. Pay when you're finished and she'll start punching numbers into the register without looking at anything. There's no way for you to really check if her math is on point because you don't get receipts but I always assume it is. MY FAVES: Hong Kong style pork chop, Fried bangus, Wonton noodle soup WILL I BE BACK??? YUPPPPP..... I already have.... so stalk me if you're crazy. read more

This place is CHEAP and gooood. Me and bf both ordered a dish each, around 4 bucks per plate, mind you, and I ordered the calamari thinking it was just calamari. No wonder the cashier looked at me funny! Every plate comes with a whopping serving of garlic rice (heaven!), a fried egg, whatever you ordered on the side, and some random canned pineapple pieces. I detested the idea in the beginning but after tasting it I realized it really cuts the fat of the whole dish when eaten with the rice. I had to bring some of the rice to go; I could not finish it all. read more

I order 'the usual' and they always bring me the right stuff. Tocino extra meat, extra egg, no garlic. Good Filipino food on the cheap! read more

I passed by this place constantly growing up and never noticed it as it sits among a string of closed or empty storefronts. But, I just happened to pass by and was not disappointed. Try the chicken silog it is amazing! This place is definitely worth a stop. read more

All my life, I have always gone to Superstar but never gateway kitchen. I was told that the owners are related and this is basically the same establishment. Starving with a strong craving for a Filipino breakfast, I decided to try out Gateway Kitchen. I noticed the Asian lady who took my order. She was also serving the plates, cleaning, and giving out change all at once. Incredible service. I applaud her for multi tasking and working well under pressure. My bf told me she's been working there since he was a kid. What a hard worker. U go girl! PROS: A lot less greasy than super star Fresh tasting rice Dirt cheap Clean restaurant compared to super star CONS: Cash only Only a few tables so you might want to consider taking to go Does not serve tomatoes Coffee looks like it's been sitting for 5 hours I prefer this location over superstar. Tastier food with less grease. This place would have been perfect for me if they served tomatoes... as you can tell I am a big tomato fan. read more

Been coming here for 20+ years for great affordable food and really friendly people working here!

I've been working near this place for years. I don't always come here because well they're not the healthiest. But when I get the craving, I'll get some once in a while. My husband and I even have had breakfast dates here when he drops me off to work. Really nice people. "Hello my friend!" is something you'll hear a lot. Few years ago, when they're not busy, they've actually even have dropped off our orders to our office. Hong kong style pork chop, great treat! Yes it can be greasy but ehhh all of them are greasy. Best eaten when freshly cooked. Their boneless bangus are good. Tocino are small cuts which sometimes I don't prefer but if I'm in the mood I'll get it. Fried chicken are a leg quarter which is yummy. They also have wonton soup that are very reasonably priced. They don't always have it but when they do, I get it. Brothy, lots of wontons, few cabbage and very hot! read more

We LOVE this restaurant, and affordable price , very authentic. I will recommend this to anybody of course all of my relatives & friends are already costumers. In fact we're going to visit tomorrow order to go for us & for my sister's family because we're going to visit them. And I know they will love it as I do. read more

Love how fast and affordable this place is! If it was closer to San Mateo, I'd order at least once a week from them!!! The people behind the counter are VERY hard workers and are always super kind! I usually order longsilog (5stars), Tosilog (4stars only because they're sliced in thin pieces, sometimes fatty, I like them on the big chunkier meatier side), and lastly HK Fried Pork Chop (4.5stars for the huge serving, just wish it was boneless) Fried garlic rice (4.5 stars). The fried garlic is delicious! it's just that the actual fried rice can be a bit on the stale side, which is fine because I barely eat the rice anyway. They really give you a LOT of rice. Pineapples (2stars) I just eat one pieces to cleanse my mouth of the greasy food. It's not Dole brand bright yellow type pineapples. They are pale and on the crunchier side, also not that sweet. Fried sunny side up egg perfectly makes them "silogs". I would order an extra fried egg next time with my food and a small scoop of rice. I don't like wasting food This place is good for those on a budget and don't have time to cook once a week. read more

Gateway Kitchen - Silogs for cheap! - Filipino Near Me - Daly City, California

Accidentally came across this place, was on our way to Tselogs for Filipino breakfast, we thought it was this one. Looked at the menu and it was so cheap, we had to try. Got 3 silog meals for $14 including tax and tip. Place is small and a hole in the wall but the food is good. Better garlic rice than any Filipino restaurant, at least here, I can taste the garlic. The fried egg was overcooked, not runny, but I didn't mind. But the boneless bangus, YUM! Cooked just right, best one I've had, and I've had plenty! We had to take a big box of leftover garlic fried rice, as their portions are huge! Funny thing about this place, Chinese people run it (probably family owned). So glad I came across this place. Will definitely be back! read more
