Friendly worker! Absolutely love this place. This is the place where you can enjoy the food and not feel thirsty after. Love that it is not too oily. Decent price and well portion! Everything tastes so good. Crunchy and flavorful! Definitely recommend trying!

Sandstorm wings
Bailey L.

Tried a few items from this place: Dry cooked chicken tenders with ube- I thought the chicken wasn't that great, it's a little bit spicy. I think would've been better if the chicken was more crispy, but it's on the soggier side. The ube was good though. Sand storm chicken wings - pretty good, juicy, flavorful, love putting the garnish into fried rice Honey glazed chicken wings - flavor is pretty good, but the wings are huge so although it's juicy, there isn't enough flavor inside Garlic string beans- good flavor and cooked well, goes great with the wings and fried rice Tomato beef fried rice with XO sauce- didn't see any pics of this on Yelp and it sounded good so gave it a try. The tomato was just diced tomatoes on top of the fried rice. It didn't add any flavor to it and did not seem like it belonged. Also didn't taste any xo sauce flavor Black truffle duck fried rice - pretty good, flavorful, better than the tomato beef fried rice Would come again and try other items on the menu.

Truffle duck fried rice

Had Go Chicken for dinner tonight and it was very tasty! Everything was so flavorful and my favorite dish was the beef stew with rice rolls - it came out piping hot and sizzling in a clay pot. We also ordered golden yolk mushrooms which were exactly what you imagine they taste like. The duck fried rice was also great. The chicken was good but could've been crispier. Finally, the restaurant is new and clean, and the service is enthusiastic and fast.

Espresso spareribs $14.99

Come Try Chicken -- that's what Go Chicken says in Chinese characters, if you're curious. Arrived shortly after 2pm on a Saturday. Placed order by 2:22pm, last of the 5 dishes we ordered arrived at 2:39pm and by 2:55pm, they were coming by a couple of times to check on whether we could pay for the bill -- this was rude and offensive behavior! I see they have a closing time of 2:45pm but if we ordered by 2:22pm and kitchen stopped cooking at 2:39pm, what's the problem with leaving us to enjoy the meal we paid for? We didn't need any service and I don't see how we were an inconvenience to anyone. If they really want everyone to be out the door by 2:45pm, then they shouldn't accept anymore dine in orders after 2pm. I chewed through my food so fast that I felt like I was getting indigestion! Also don't be a sucker for their scallop noodle $20.99 -- I should've called them over to find a scallop for me -- just find one!! The whole plate of noodles tasted bland with no flavor. Check out my pics. Their so called Bang Bang chicken $14.99 is basically General Tso sauce -- nothing banging about it. The espresso spareribs $14.99 remind me of the dimsum I once had at Koi Palace many years ago but these spareribs were a little tough to chew. The only highlight was the sandstorm chicken $14.99 and golden egg yolk mushrooms, although definitely not worth $12.99 -- two dollars worth of white mushrooms fried with some egg yolk batter. So rude to rush us, especially since the last dish arrived at the table at 2:39pm. I've dined at plenty of Asian places that don't do this even if they close in the middle of the afternoon. 50% tip taken off for the rude behavior

Dry cooked spare ribs
Ryan R.

Finding parking was easy since there's plenty of metered spots nearby, and we had no trouble grabbing a table when we rolled in at 11:00 AM on Saturday. The setup is a little unique--you order the food via a QR code, but you still pay through the server. We tried the garlic green beans, seafood crispy noodles, and the dry cooked spare ribs with ube, but the spicy wontons were the real winner. Everything was solid, though I'm curious to try the dry cooked chicken next time to see how it stacks up against the ribs!

Sand Storm Chicken Wings 4/4/26

Small and organized spot with amazing service! One of the ladies wearing eyeglasses was so friendly, she recommended the Beef Brisket Stew Rice Roll and even showed us a few to-go orders. Service like that really makes a difference. We tried four dishes: Golden Egg Yolk Mushroom - hands down the best dish ever! Unique, crisp, full of real egg yolk flavor, and not salty. Loved it so much we could easily eat it as a snack. Sand Storm Chicken Wings - super crispy and huge portions (10 pieces for $14.99!). Incredible value for the Bay Area. Caramelized Spareribs with Ube - visually striking and unique. The spareribs are already marinated with savory flavors, but the caramelization wasn't sweet enough to balance them. Still an interesting and creative dish, just slightly too savory for our taste. Beef Brisket Stew Rice Roll - unfortunately our least favorite. Too salty, beef overcooked and falling apart, with very little meat. Overall, the mushrooms are a must-try, and the friendly staff makes this spot a joy to visit. :)

Salt & Pepper Ribs
Emily D.

Enjoyed Go Chicken the first time so decided to have lunch there again with other friends. Food was still good. Ordered different items from the last time and dishes were very delicious. The salt & pepper ribs were a little disappointing because the pieces had gigantic bones with hardly any meat. Still good service and the other two dishes were good.

Menu March 2026

We were greeted and seated by a waitress upon entering the restaurant. They have an extensive menu. We ordered the Black Truffle Duck Rice, Seafood Crispy Noodle, Sand Storm Chicken Wings, Caramelized Spareribs With Ube, Espresso Spareribs, Sauteed Green Beans, Honey Glazed Walnut Shrimp With Cranberry Aioli, and Jasmine Tea. Our food came out in a timely manner. The Black Truffle Duck Rice, Seafood Crispy Noodles, and Espresso Spareribs were ok. There weren't anything special with these three entrees. We couldn't really taste the Espresso in the Espresso Spareribs. The Sand Storm Chicken Wings were piping hot when they got to our table and they were flavorful. The Sauteed Green Beans and Honey Glazed Walnut with Cranberry Aioli were tasty. The prices were fairly reasonable and they were generous with the portions. We will be back to try some of their other entrees.

Egg yolk mushrooms
Crystalin B.

Wow, the food here was so good!!! We ordered over the phone and everything was ready in about 15-20 minutes. We tried the Sandstorm chicken wings, egg yolk mushrooms, and chicken tenders with ube. The Sandstorm wings were tasty and crunchy - definitely a solid classic chicken wing but probably not something I'd personally order again. The chicken tenders with ube was so good! The flavor was on point and caramelized which made them perfect over white rice. The chunks of ube paired surprisingly well and added a nice touch of sweetness. Definitely a must order! My favorite was the egg yolk mushrooms. They were battered perfectly with the ideal crunch and had that rich savory flavor I always crave. I'm definitely coming backto try more dishes from their menu!

Delicious hong Kong style food! Amazing portions. This place just recently opened and I can't tell you how great the food is. Plenty of seating and parking in west portal and adjacent residential areas! I would highly recommend any of their fried chicken dishes! Try everything on their menu, you can't go wrong!!

Storefront (formerly Wok Up)
Cherylynn N.

4.5 STARS Go Chicken? I say, Go Beef. Go Pork too. Cuz chicken is not the only thing they do well. Soft opening today, Go Chicken took over the short-lived Wok Up (new owner). Currently open for takeout and dine-in. M E N U Cantonese fare with modern twists (espresso ribs, truffle duck fried rice, honey walnut prawns w/ cranberry aioli, etc.) and HK wonton noodle soup Suggestion: Adding brief one-line descriptions for the less obvious dishes. For example, the spareribs w/ ube is a specialty from the chef's home country, but without any context, I had no idea how it's prepared (braised? stir-fried? deep-fried?). F O O D * Sandstorm Chicken Wings 风沙鸡亦 (10 pc-$14.99) Crispy, meaty wings with a golden-brown crust and juicy interior topped with hella fried garlic (the sand) and chili peppers. Their spin is the use of aromatic Sichuan peppers for a light numbing spice. * Beef Brisket Stew Rice Roll Crepe 牛腩肠粉煲 ($16.99) While the wings were delicious, this was my fav of the two. Noodle rolls (cheung fun) are smothered with slow-braised, meltingly tender beef brisket (rough flank) and served in a sizzling claypot. The chewy noodles rolls absorb the savory, ginger infused sauce while the heat of the pot lightly crisps the noodles, enhancing the texture and imparting a subtle smoky flavor. Ask for a side of their housemade chili sauce! S E R V I C E Friendly, gracious owner and staff. I ordered additional items to drop off to a friend nearby and the owner kindly offered to help me bring the bags to my car. A M B I A N C E Modern, casual space with a dozen tables and an open kitchen. Overall, solid soft opening day one. The owner raved about the spareribs w/ ube so def coming back for that!

Caramelized Spareribs with Ube (焦糖紫薯排骨)
Wesley L.

Dry Cooked Chicken Tenders with Ube (千烹紫薯鸡)- sticky sauce with crispy chicken was very tender and flavorful. Small bites of ube in the dish was nice with the chicken but not sure if it added anything to the dish Caramelized Spareribs with Ube (焦糖紫薯排骨)- sticky sauce over these flavorful spareribs was great to have. Very similar feeling with the chicken dish we had though I preferred this one over the chicken dish Black Truffle Duck Fried Rice (黑松露鸭肉炒飯)- flavorful and the black truffle was not super over welling the dish which I find a lot happens with black truffle anything. Was concerned that eating this with all the other foods would be too much but it actually worked well together Golden Egg Yolk Mushroom (金沙茶树菇)- crispy and flavorful appetizer. Nice fun bites of seafood mushrooms and salted egg Found this place randomly one day walking around and wanted to try it. Very conveniently located near the muni stop. Parking can be a bit challenging with street parking in this area. Overall loved the dishes we tried and looking forward to coming back again. The chicken and pork dishes reminded me of santung in sunset. I think I still like santung a bit more but this place has a lot more variety of good dishes in my opinion.

(Mar 2026) E3. Garlic green beans
Aly C.

===TL;DR=== - G8. Beef brisket stew rice crepe roll - A7. Sand storm chicken wings - E3. Garlic green beans ===TMI=== For those of you unfamiliar with this area, they're located right next to Shabu House (the only thing I recognize around here). Primarily meter parking. Not a huge space inside but enough for a couple of tables and one big one towards the back. The food came out fast. Surprisingly the green beans were done nicely, flavorful and crispy. The beef brisket stew was alright. The cut of brisket was a good mixture of lean and fatty parts and the rice crepe roll was a good choice to absorb all the sauce. I quite enjoy their sand storm chicken. I asked what that is and the respond was "similar to salt and pepper chicken". -shrug- they were the large party pack and they were juicy inside. Flavor was very subtle tho. I wish they had Hong Kong milk tea or iced lemon tea on their menu.

I saw online that this place is one of the most sought after reservations on Open Table. I tried my…read moreluck at getting a reservation and was pleasantly surprised when I was able to get a reservation! Reservations open 3 weeks in advanced at noon. Walk ins are also welcome. One note is that parking can be a bit challenging so get there a bit early. The inside is lively and filled me with so much nostalgia with the decor. The staff is really attentive and friendly. I also appreciate the free peanuts and cucumber salad that you get when you're seated. My boyfriend and I ordered a lot of food because we wanted to try so many things! The lamb skewer was super moist and had a nice flavor. The XO escargot with milkbread had a nice buttery, garlic taste. The milk bread was fluffy and when dipped in the sauce it tasted very rich. We also got the clay pot rice and it reminded me of when I had it in China. The rice was crispy at the bottom and well seasoned. My favorite dish of the night was the squab. It was cooked excellently and the skin was really crispy. The five spice powder on the side really brought out the flavor of the meat. The eggplant was cooked well and portion was good but it didn't stand out as much as the other dishes. Overall, I would visit this place again. It definitely lives up to the hype. The squab and and clay pot rice were the stand outs to me but all the other food was really tasty as well.

I saw a random 9:15pm reservation for 2 available, so I snagged it, excited for this very hyped…read morerestaurant. Was it worth it? Honestly, I think I have to readjust my expectations for the SF food scene. If there were no wait/reservation, I would think of this as a very solid restaurant (hence the 4 stars). The beef chow fun is on par with ones I'd get in NYC Chinatown, and was actually not very overpriced. Our server was very sweet but only recommended things that my friend did not love (seafood/spicy food). I was excited for the spicy cabbage, hoping it'd be comparable to the addictive spicy cabbage at Uluh (NYC). I was disappointed. The popcorn chicken was a bit dry; I would not get it again. The mapo spaghetti had heat, but not much flavor, and it was okay for me - worth getting because it sounded intriguing, but fell short of my expectations, especially since I've made mapo udon, mapo ramen, and mapo pie at home that were better. The escargots with milk bread was definitely my favorite; sourcing escargot alone is a plus and it was very well-executed. The milk bread was fantastic, pillowy and soft. Our server was very nice and offered to move us to the cute window seats after we were already seated at the counter, which I really appreciated. However, would I spend energy trying to get a reservation here or waiting in line? Absolutely not. It makes me sad to think that this is the pinnacle of Cantonese food in this city full of Cantonese people, but I guess it makes me extra appreciate food in NYC.

Harborview serves premium food and their dim sum are seemed to order; always fresh and super tasty…read more I've been here numerous times for yum cha (dim sum bunch) before, and trying their HH (Happy Hour) for the first time today.. and it was just simply excellent!!! The quality dim sum that we've come to expect.. plus two delightful bonuses: Excellent Margarita and their OMG - so Tasty and Addicting Tofu Fries!! YUM yim yummmmy!! Service is excellent and their wait staff checked on us every now and then, and everyone is always friendly and helpful. Nicely located in EC4; the restaurants is always super clean and comfy for hanging out. Their balcony seating also very nice, weather permitting. Bonus: they also validate parking, at (I think ) $6 off your parking rate at the Embarcadero's. Great good + Great service! Recommended!!!

I'm posting this review a little later, but this experience happened during a visit about a month…read moreago and it has stayed with me. One thing that stood out was the restaurant's mandatory 18% gratuity, which is automatically added to every bill. While I understand and respect service charges, I also believe they should come with a reasonable standard of service. During our meal, we politely asked our waitress, Lily, if she could please bring us some soy sauce whenever she had a moment. In response, she audibly sighed, turned her head, and rolled her eyes, which felt unnecessarily rude and unprofessional. Throughout the rest of the meal, whenever we thanked her for bringing our dim sum, she didn't acknowledge us, and simple requests like refilling our water were ignored while she happily chatted with other coworkers and the table immediately next to us (which appeared to be people she knew outside of work). The rest of the staff seemed normal-friendly, which made this interaction stand out even more. Had the gratuity been optional, I would have tipped based on the service we received. Because it was mandatory, paying an 18% service charge for an experience that lacked basic courtesy and attentiveness felt particularly unfair and disappointing. This was my second visit here, but it seems bad service is not uncommon based on other yelp reviews.
