    Braised Beef stew noodle soup
    Jackson C.

    Fairly new Hong Kong style cafe opening in the Sunset district on Noriega St. Of course, they offer HK style tea which is typically a strong tea like black tea mixed with condensed milk and/or evaporated milk. It's pretty good, not too sweet, reasonably strong tea flavor. Near the entrance, they sell a variety of Chinese style buns and breads which I didn't try this time. The place wasn't too packed during lunch time. For in-dining (or takeout for that matter), they offer rice plates and noodle dishes like wonton and braised beef. Not the most extensive selection but adequate. Many HK style cafes offer baked rice or spaghetti dishes but not offered here. I tried the braised beef noodle soup which was actually served with a large bowl compared to others I've had, probably due to a little more noodles than other places. The food tasted pretty average but the prices are reasonable so it's an adequate lunch option. Wish the beef was a little more tender.

    pineapple bun with butter $2.50

    My truck was getting an oil change across the street. The restaurant was full at 9:15am. My order was a pineapple bun with butter $2.50 and wonton noodles combo milk tea $11. You can also select coffee or soy milk instead of the milk tea. Any iced drink with the combo will be an additional $1.50. The wonton noodles were surprisingly good. It contained a slight sesame powder taste, just like the ones from HK. The pineapple bun took about 30 minutes to make as it is not on the menu. They did a good job with melting the butter on a warm bun. Overall, service was slow but sufficed to say, understandable as they were swamped with to-go bakery, online and dine-in orders with only two people working. Most of the tables stayed un-bussed.

    This place is so clutch when you're looking for a bakery that's open early on the weekend! I've stopped by here a couple of times to pick up some baos for the boys while the yard is getting remodeled. They have a really good variety of baos as well as cafe food that starts at 10:30am. Starting today 3/29, they are even serving breakfast! From 6:30am - 10am, Who doesn't love some HK cafe brekkie? Some of my favorite items are bbq pork buns, pineapple buns, and they even have pineapple bbq pork buns! The Macau egg tarts are also very yummy and the Hong Kong milk tea. The restaurant is clean and the front counter ladies are so sweet and nice. Pastries are baked fresh every morning and if you need a big order, make sure to call them in advance so they can prep for you!

    Disappointing Restaurant Experience -- Hoping for Improvement We visited on Saturday, Feb. 7 (party of five, 5:30-6:30pm). The menu is the same all day, starting at 10:30am. We ordered six dishes for about $120 after tip, and unfortunately, the food was mostly mediocre. Examples below: 1. Beef Brisket Noodle Soup was too salty; my 9-year-old nephew only ate the noodles. 2. Tomato Beef Chow Mein lacked flavor at first, though the second version was better after we sent it back. 3. Peking Ribs tasted off and had too much visible fat, making them hard to enjoy. Improvements needed: Consistency - flavors and seasoning need to be more reliable across dishes. Management presence - more oversight would help maintain quality. I've only seen the owner or her son here only 3 of the 10 times that I've visited. Service - check-ins with customers would have gone a long way, especially with only a few tables occupied. I can't recommend dining here for now, but I hope this new family-run spot takes feedback seriously and improves--it has potential.

    REVIEW FOR BAKERY ONLY: Good variety of pastry selection. DIY style of service (grab your own pastries). Particular standouts were the pork bun and the Macau egg tart. Prices were very reasonable, pastries under $3. Will be back!

    We came here for the first time yesterday for brunch/lunch. We come in from Sacramento and this place is recommended to my sister who lives in San Francisco to try it! The place is clean and beautifully lit very bright inside. We're glad we tried it. The food was excellent. The bakery goods were beautifully displayed. When we finished our brunch/lunch, we got a tray full of bakery goods to bring home to Sacramento. I was so disappointed when I got home that when I bought 3 custard tarts that she placed them up on top of each other and they were flattened by the time I got home certainly not as beautiful as when I bought them. I was embarrassed to give them to my friend who I bought them for! The next time I go there, I will definitely let her know not to put them on top of each other!

    Pretty clean restaurant and bakery  (Can smell the chlorine, since it was still early and relatively empty)

    We arrived 11:30 and the restaurant was still pretty empty. They started us quickly. We ordered quickly before the rush; but I think they are still pretty new and took quick a while for the food to come. The decor was pretty standard Chinese restaurant, food has a little msg and tasted decent, portions were solid. Pricing was not bad. Overall avg about $15/dish. It's pretty convenient that it is attached to the bakery so you can hit two birds with one. They have some unique items like durian pineapple bun.,. Total came to $27/person. Will return for a quick bite when needed.

    I kept seeing this place all over IG when LoafHK first opened, so we had to check it out. We've really been missing solid Chinese restaurants in the Sunset, especially after so many OG spots closed post-COVID, and this definitely hit the spot. We ordered the salted fish diced chicken fried rice, which was so good--super flavorful, you could actually taste the salted fish, and it came out piping hot. The salted fish eggplant with diced chicken in a clay pot was also really delicious. The string beans with beef were another standout--very flavorful and well done. The salt and pepper calamari was just okay IMO; the calamari itself was a bit bland and most of the flavor came from the batter. Lastly, we got the tomato beef crispy noodle. It was fine, but not something I'd normally order--though my friends really enjoyed it. Overall, everything we ordered was good, and we'd definitely come back to try more dishes. A lot of people around us were ordering noodle soups, so that's next on our list. Service was amazing. The staff were super nice, and we stayed for a while just chatting and catching up. They didn't mind at all--in fact, they kept refilling our tea and even said, "Let me clear the table so you can sit and chat more comfortably." Like... who does that?! We came on a Friday and it was a bit busy, but the place has such a cozy, homey café vibe--somewhere you can eat, relax, and really enjoy your time. Will definitely be back.

    After a group lunch, some suggested checking out this new bakery. Upon entering, a nice selection of Asian pastries awaits. I'm one of those people who likes durian and was pleasantly surprised to find a durian pineapple bun for sale, $4.25. At first I thought it was just the top part of the bun that included a durian flavor, but after a few bites, real durian pieces were inside the bun! It was pretty tasty. I was also impressed with the lemon roll cake slice, these are seemingly hard to find these days. Unfortunately, they didn't have any Taiwan milk tea during my visit. The food menu also looks tasty and very reasonably priced. Hope to try the drinks and food next time I visit. #38/2025

    Stopped to kill an hour while my car was being serviced across the street. Had a don tot (egg tart) and Hong Kong milk tea and both were good. The crust on the don tot was not as flaky as some I've had, but it was good and the custard was not too sweet. I enjoyed it and would recommend it. The pastries are in cases and you serve yourself with the tongs and trays off to the side, so you can take your time to decide. Some of the food I saw others eating, especially the tomato beef chow mein, looked good and the prices are reasonable, so maybe I'll come back for lunch soon!

    Friendly courteous staff helping us. Food is pretty good with a good variety of choices on the menu, whether you feel like rice plates, clay pots, veggies, appetizers, or anything. Chinese food. Buns for sale up in front too, grab and go style. Not a lot put out because the space is small so staff member was continuously refilling it. Interesting item: durian pastry, very big size for a pastry bun. Good prices Lunch food- -beef chow mean: popular dish, many tables ordered -Mongolian beef: tasty, lot of sauce. Best eaten over rice -salty fish fried rice: if you like salty taste. Smells good -seafood fried noodle: good taste, wish there were more seafood meat pieces because it was more noodle and not so much meat

    Pineapple Bun
    Harry W.

    Chinese bakeries seem to be a dime a dozen out here in the Outer Sunset... Well, add this one to the list! LoafHK bakery opened about three weeks ago, and they are still in their "soft opening" phase. I happened to be nearby, so I decided to head on in and check it out.. Inside, just grab a cafeteria tray and a pair of tongs, and pull what you want from the clear drawers full of freshly baked Chinese pastries on hand. Self-service, ya know.. Friendly counter staff, with a cozy dining area where you can enjoy your treats. While I was there, they had all the standard offerings - Pineapple Buns, Baked Char Siu Buns, Raisin twists, Custard Tarts and many others. Oddly, all of the baked goods looked rather dry, as they lacked the shiny attractive glaze that you see on pastries everywhere else. Perhaps they are trying to be healthy by avoiding that sugary (or eggy) glaze, but it does make the items look a lot less attractive. Nevertheless, I chose to try their cinnamon bun and a baked BBQ Pork Bun just for starters. Cinnamon Bun: Unfortunately, the cinnamon bun was just as dry as it looked, and the cinnamon bun tasted rather bland. Mind you, I'm not a sugar hound, but it would have benefited from being more moist with a stronger cinnamon flavor to it. This was fresh.. but just so dry and without much flavor. I hope they improve on this.. (2.5/5) The BBQ bun was a little better, but even though the bread in the bun was dry and lifeless, the pork was OK, though nothing like the image of the BBQ bun pictured on the sign out in front. I truly wish the best for LoafHK, and again, since this is a soft opening, I do hope they tighten up their game soon!

    A little Chinese bakery with inside seating soft opened, selling buns, egg tarts, and milk tea. Local neighbors come to support this new business on Noriega Street, but I barely smell the pastries - which is always my first drawl to any bakery. I bought a iced milk tea for $4.50 - a decent price considering bobas are nearly double. Service was a little low in energy and considering they haven't had their grand opening yet, I wish them 加油!Bring up the vibe and smile for success!

    This was the one place I wanted to visit while in SF. It was amazing, but there is so much hype it…read morewas hard to temper my expectations!!! There are three Arsicault locations, but this is the original, opened in 2015 (or so the internet told me). Our hotel was closer to the Tenderloin location, but that area wad sketchy. The line was 15 people long, but moved incredibly fast. The menu is on the front glass window (no prices,). Once you enter, you can see the pastries and corresponding prices. Unfortunately, you enter when it's your time to order, pay grab your food, and then leave. We went twice and our whole interaction was less than a minute per trip!!! We had many things and there were only winners. If you don't want to spend $60 like we did, here are my thoughts on what we tried. Croissants: the almond was the winner by a long shot!!! I liked the ham and cheese, but only if you need a savory option. Chocolate chip croissants are not my favorite, but my daughter ate the whole thing and loved it. The almond chocolate chip had too much going on and it's the only one I would not recommend. The kouign amann is delicious and worth getting. The morning bun is good, but only if you want a bit of citrus flavor (orange zest). The monkey bread was good, but after all the other pastries, it didn't stand out. It seemed similar to the kouign amman in retrospect and I'd need another side by side to really sort out the differences. The chocolate chip cookie is delicious, but beware that it is salted. My son wasn't a fan, but the rest of us liked it. A bonus if you go the Richmond Ariscault -- it's next door to Breck's, a great coffee shop that has seating. Looks like most Arsicault customers grabbed their pastries and went next door to get coffee and sit down. We followed suit and it was a perfect pairing. After our pastries, we went to Golden Gate to walk off the meal. An epic morning!!!

    Excellent croissants and pastries at Arsicault. There's usually a line but it generally moves…read morequickly. The storefront is small so you pretty much walk inside to tell them what you want, pay, and get your pastries to go. No place to sit; only drip coffee offered. The croissants are crunchy on the outside and flaky on the inside. One of the best croissants in San Francisco. They don't offer a huge selection of pastries but the more popular ones are the croissants and Kouign Amann. With the croissants they offer a number of variations including almond, chocolate, ham and cheese. They also sell scones but I would stick with the croissants in my opinion.

This most recent time I arrived just before opening and waited about an hour and a half for my delicious strawberry roll. If I had got there earlier, I think the line would've been only about 20 to 30 minutes so if you are an early bird they allow you to line up anytime after around 7:45 AM. I listened to a new album and great podcast while I was in line, it can be a great solo activity and makes the wait go by fast! I also enjoy talking to the people around me about whether or not they've been here yet and hearing what their favorite items are or what they're excited to try. This time I met someone who had brought their family member all the way from Mexico to try! I think a lot of the people who are frustrated don't understand that there will be a wait. The owner has explained on her Instagram that the reason they cannot simply bake more is because they are not baking pastries that are designed for bulk creation. They are all handmade small batch goods that simply cannot be made in large quantities. I think when you go into it understanding that it's going to be an experience that more often than not comes with a wait time it is much more enjoyable. I did see some teenagers show up with their parents who immediately seemed like they did not want to get in the line. The thing about lines though is that typically if there is a consistent line somewhere that means it's good! I really admire the parents that did wait with their kids because it is worth it! We all need a little bit of whimsy in our life and these goods and the wonderfully magical people who work there make my day a little brighter each time I go in. The shop itself is decorated so well, you can tell that the cookbooks and tools are not just props on the shelf. They are actually used. There are also a couple glittery surprises that I will leave for you to find out... I cannot recommend this little bakery enough. If you are in San Francisco, even just for a day, add it to the top of your list and start your day with a treat you won't be able to find anywhere else.

The namesake Pistachio Cardamom croissant was excellent for a filled croissant. It had excellent layers and the cream was just enough to add a lusciousness to each bite that wasn't too heavy. The madame lorraine was my other favorite. It was meaty and rich with the soft baked runny yolk and the light touch of rosemary was just enough to accentuate the bite. The not as good...a standard butter croissant. Maybe we got a dud but there was a serious lack of layers in ours and it wasn't as crisp or as buttery as I like. The elote corn croquiche filling was also quite salty which was a shame because the pastry layer was pretty good. I still have two more pastries to try but given the weight and the mixed bag, I definitely expected a lot more from Butter & Crumble. Pro tip: get a butter croissant at Arsicault, walk to B Patisserie and get a kouign amann. You'll have both before the line moves here.

My husband got in line while I waited outside. It's on the first floor of the Japan Center Malls and easy to find in the corner. While the line was long it moved quickly and we ended up ordering two drinks and a few pastries. We had the drinks right away and I enjoyed their honeycomb toffee latte ($8.25) while my husband ordered a flavored lemonade. The Honeycomb latte wasn't overly sweet and the honeycomb on top was a nice treat. The honeycomb itself was sweet and crunchy and you can either pick it out and eat it or stir it into your drink and let it melt. The lemonade my husband ordered was on the sweeter side, but was super refreshing for summer. If you like sweet you'll like this- if you prefer less sweet or tart it may not be for you. We also brought home a few of their pastries. All of them were fresh and well made. The basque cheesecake was creamy and satisfying without being overly sweet. The chocolate chip cookie had dark chocolate and was really rich and satisfying. The last pastry I forget the name of but it was like a cinnamon roll but with an orange glaze and some cocoa powder, this one was also delicious and not overly sweet. They had some savory options that were sold out when we visited and we would definitely visit again to try those and more items from the menu. We can see why this spot is so popular.
