10/10 for this restaurant. My company, DoorDashed food from this location for lunch. I actually ended up having it two days straight. The first day I got the duck leg with noodles. The second day I got chicken. All of it was super tender. It was absolutely delicious. I wasn't planning to eat all the noodles, but I did and no regrets. The taste is amazing and I still felt somewhat healthy after I ate it. I would highly recommend getting lunch from this place and I really hope next time I'm in the office they order from here again. read more

Great homey spot. We were craving dry noodles and glad we came here. I got the number 4 with a duck leg, wontons and a side soup. Egg noodles were perfectly bouncy and unlike other dry noodle spots, they provide more chili oil and sweet soy for you to add in if you want it to be more saucey. The pickled jalapeños hit with it too. Soup was soothing. My partner got the combo wonton dry noodles which was equally good and came with a bunch of different meat and shrimp. Service was efficient and you pay at the register afterwards. They do accept card. read more

One of my favorite pho/noodle soup places in the city. It's a tiny hole in the wall, but as a local who worked in the area, I think you can't get much better dry pho elsewhere. Just make sure to specify if you want dry (no broth). The only knock on this place is they kept messing up our orders (x3), which was a little annoying. I usually order the beef stew rice noodle (#20) but I I also love the House special Wonton noodle (#2). Beef is tender and succulent and noodles are well cooked. Prices are around $15-17 per entree. Seating for about 30 people total, with tables seating about 4 inside. Area isn't the safest so lock your car doors if parking in the area. read more

Hai Ky Noodles - 1. Hai Ky House Special Noodles (#2) - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Throughout the years I been coming here and it never disappoints. Always amazed at how flavorful and delicious the food is. I always get their house special wonton & chicken Lo Mien. I get the soup on the side and I get the thick egg noodles. The service is always quick and it's usually quite busy if you are there during rush hour. Lots of memories and smiles here. Definitely a staple and a must try in the tenderloin. Their pickled jalepeno, orange sauce, hoisin, and chili oil are all bangers. If you feel like splurging their duck leg is also and they also have fresh soy milk. The vibes here is always friendly, but you gotta make sure you have your head on the swivel when walking through the TL, I love my neighborhood but you gotta be smart!

Been coming here for years I will always love this spot. The food is always great delicious, they do have some heavier soups and some lighter stuff for every different taste bud. Always so nice to us most of the workers recognize my boyfriend immediately, the service is so quick and friendly. It's a cozy little spot kinda tucked in between buildings, but spacious enough inside so nobody is clashing with others. Bathrooms are pretty clean the whole restaurant in general is pretty clean and tidy nothing is out of step. read more

southeast asian approved! I got the house special noodles with mee pok (wide egg noodles) and added wontons (+$2) and it was so comforting! what's pictured is only half the serving (I saved half for another meal). the staff were friendly and efficient, and offered to cover my soymilk tightly when she noticed I was biking. the noodles came with plenty of ingredients, and a huge bowl of warm soup. the hot soymilk was sweetened and reminded me of home :") highly recommend for comforting and satisfying noodles! read more

It was raining so we stopped by for some comforting noodle soups. We got our usual, the #7 house special soup with thick egg noodles with add in thick rice noodles for $1.80 more and the #6 duck soup with thin egg noodle. This time my broth was not bland but slightly saltier this time. The staffs were great. Always friendly and the service is always speedy. Tea is also complimentary. We were offered Chinese donuts which I declined this time. I didn't even know they had that and they also have soy milk. Bowls range from $15-$17. Big portions, lots of noodles. They finally accept credit card payments. read more

I had high hopes for this place and it hit the mark for good noodle soup, but for the portion size and price it fell short. Soup noodles are around $16-20 for a bowl, and the soup bowl felt a bit shallow. Also the toppings in my soup were not as good as I was expecting. Just average. I'm not sure how busy it gets usually but when we went on a Sunday around 2pm it was quite empty. They took our order and the food came out within 5-10 minutes which was nice. Also this restaurant is located in the tenderloin. Parking can be a bit tricky. read more

Hai Ky Noodles is seriously a hidden gem! I was feeling under the weather and craving a comforting bowl of soup, something similar to the style I used to get at TK Noodle in Daly City (RIP). That nostalgic combo of thin egg noodles, assorted meats, and wontons is surprisingly hard to find... until I came across Hai Ky on Postmates. I ordered the Hai Ky House Special, and it absolutely hit the spot. Just a heads-up if you're ordering delivery: it might look like a dry noodle dish on the app, but it does come with a generous serving of hot, flavorful broth. It's definitely a soup! The bowl was packed with protein (char siu, shrimp, meatballs, and more), and adding wontons made it even better. Everything was well-seasoned and super comforting! It was exactly what I needed. I'll 100% be ordering this again. Highly recommend if you're looking for a filling, delicious noodle soup that delivers on both flavor and nostalgia. read more

Yes, you should come to the tenderloin just to try this place. Noodles were super bouncy and light, and their soup healed me. My boyfriend's duck leg was also very tender, juicy, and sweet. But please also get the egg rolls. They make them fresh with lots of love and taro unlike many other places, and even inspired me to make my own at home!! read more

Food: (5/5) I tried the #7 Mi Hai Ky with thin egg noodle (wonton noodle) with the soup on the side and extra oil (Pro Tip) this time around. I noticed that the thinner noodles were able to soak up more of the sauce/oil this time around and adding their homemade chili crisp oil added a nice kick of additional flavor to it. My dad really enjoys their homemade pickled jalapeños. We also ordered the egg rolls and fried wontons which were a yummy appetizer. I enjoyed how the egg rolls were bite sized and both dishes paired well with the sauce. Service: (5/5) I come here relatively often as this is hands down my favorite restaurant in the city and Amy, the manager, along with the other staff are always helpful, communicative, and friendly. They offered their fresh soy milk upon being seated. The server was quick to take our order and our food was served quickly. Ambiance: (5/5) The restaurant gives off a very homey vibe as you feel right at home since it's so casual and comfortable upon entry. read more

I will definitely be back to this place. It was the perfect rainy day lunch for an informal meetup. Highly recommend for cold or rainy days. I suspect I'll crave this now. I had the duck leg egg noodle soup with thick noodles and soup on the side, so I could add as much broth as I preferred. Pros: -Ample table space for lunch -Delicious, fresh soup bowls -Quick service -Friendly staff -Affordable and good value -Great condiment selection Cons: -Smoke billowed in from outside smokers -Did not refill water glasses or check on us read more

Hai Ky Noodles - #6 duck leg egg noodle with soup on the side - delicious! - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Hai Ky is my go-to spot for wonton noodle soups in the city, especially their combination wonton noodle soup (number 2)! The bowl is always packed with fresh ingredients, a savory broth, and delicious bouncy egg noodles. Everything is made in-house, and I feel lucky to live so close to the restaurant. The staff are always kind and even remember my brothers and I each time we come. They know my order well and have my bowl in front of me within minutes of sitting down. Place doesn't look busy on the outside, but can get packed during the day, especially closer to their 6pm closing time. They take both cash and card. Their hot soy milk is also a good treat and the fresh rolls are made well too. Only thing that can be bothersome is the neighborhood outside. It can feel a bit rough with people lingering around, but if you keep to yourself, then they leave you alone. read more

First time here and it was fine! I really miss this "old" restaurant type of feel. Most restaurants nowadays are all modern. Went here on a Sunday for lunch and it was busy! My friend ordered the #4 and I ordered the #2. It was good. I also got the soymilk with ice and that was okay. Once you're done eating, you go up to the cashier to pay. Street parking and 2 restrooms. read more

The duck noodles were excellent as well as the Vietnamese iced coffee. The owner was also very friendly and kind

My friends and I came here feeling a little hungover, and this place was perfect hangover food. I got the hủ tiếu bò kho. It's not your traditional bò kho, this one leans on the sweeter side, which threw me off at first, but I ended up enjoying it. I'm more used to the classic bò kho with that rich, savory beef stew flavor, fragrant spices like star anise and lemongrass, and a little bit of heat. This version is different, but still tasty in its own way. Definitely a satisfying spot for a cozy, comforting meal. read more

Hai Ky Noodles - Hu Tieu Bo Kho - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Hai Ky has a great taste for the Teochew style noodles. We tried the braised duck leg and seafood one, both taste very good. Duck is very juicy and tasteful with a sophisticated flavor. We also order a soy bean milk which also tastes fresh. We can understand that some staff speak Teochew and Cantonese. The variety of food is not much, speaking to their professional. Decoration is bit old. Food quality is five star. But the location is not great - not friendly for parking or public transit. In a neighborhood of dangerous places with homeless in SF downtown. Tourists may feel too risky. Location is 3 star. read more

One of 3 Chiu Chow Vietnamese Chinese noodles shop left in SF. I've been here a few times with my parents. Recently ordered the beef stew noodles takeout. I wanted wide white fun instead but accidentally ordered egg noodles. The beef and beef tendons were very yummy, as well as the soup. The bean sprouts is beneath the noodles but no carrots. I remember eating this at Little Paris Cafe as a kid and they had carrots. I wish they give more bean sprouts and carrots here. However, the soup was really good that we bought French baguette from a grocery store to soak up the soup while eating at home. Pricing is kind of funky though that this cost $16.11 plus taxes instead of $16. I guess they added credit card processing fees to the price but they didn't offer lower cash price menu instead. read more

Was craving pho since it's so cold out and this place hit the spot! I love the variations of noodle soup with egg noodle or rice noodles, and will definitely be back to try one of their soupless egg noodles when it's warmer out. The broth is extremely flavorful and pretty well salted already on its own, so I only added white pepper and their lightly pickled jalapeños as toppings. The jalapeños are game changing - perfect crunch, spice, and tang to top off the soup! After tip, each bowl came out to ~$20. Service was fast and we didn't have to wait at all. read more

The noodle soup dishes are so delicious, it was just what we needed after a night out.

Maybe the wide noodles would be a better choice. read more

One of my go to noodle spots in SF!!! If you wanted to travel to Asia without going to Asia, this place can be a great spot! Good food that comes with side of pride and traditions are hard to find , especially in the gentrified SF. This place opens for breakfast and it's typically to be expected as countries in Asias such as Thailand and China eats noodles and rice dishes for breakfast. Their noodles are bouncy, chewy, and feel like a warm hug from your ah-ma (grandma)! I often get their wonton noodles as each bites transport me right back home and down the memory lanes! Sure, it can be daunting to come here as it's situated right at the heart of the TL and there isn't much parking space to begin with. I recommend coming here on foot after hopping on muni Ambiance: The spot is frequent by local aunties and uncles. It reminds me of being home as the buzzling conversations in various languages can be heard. The servers also speak multiple languages and are attentive and quick to take your order. They're just as quick to serve it too! Oh, don't expect for them to cater to "gluten free" because this isn't the place for it! Come hungry, curious, and ready to plunge beyond what American's conception of "Asian Food" is. This is as authentic as it gets! Oh, one more thing! If you see greasy tables or greasy anything/ spot looking shady (which this place is!) , you're in for a treat! Please enjoy eating here as you'll leave not only with belly filled of comfort food and heat filled with warmth! read more

I love love thid place. They never fail and the taste is addictive. I always ordered #7 special with egg noodles but I also like #8 with the rice noodles. If you have a large appetite then feel free to add extra noodles for another $2.50. Everything taste fresh here and the jalapeño with the vinegar is a must. Don't skip on the hainan chicken either. The meat is delicious read more

I would come to the tenderloin again for this meal. Similar to pho, the broth is hearty and light. They also have fresh soy milk & Chinese fried dough sticks for breakfast. Would recommend their thick egg noodles over the thin ones if you like the texture of al dente pasta. read more
