    Combo Plate

    Huge portions for about 10 dollars including tax!! They make sure to pack the entire box. It's cash only. Authentic Chinese takeout food that is affordable and you get to pick and choose the base/entrees that you like. They also have various chinese desserts like red bean mochi, chinese donut, etc. Love that there are so many different types of noodles you can choose for the base. My favorite entree is the char siu meat and chinese cauliflower. Service is quick. Parking can be hard on Clement, so easier to come with a friend who can watch the car.

    Stumbled upon this spot in the Richmond and was pleasantly surprised. They have some of the best char siu, especially for the price. This box was only around $6.50, which felt like great value for how tasty it was. The service was quick, and the staff were friendly as well. The ambience is pretty standard for a Chinese restaurant, and we usually prefer ordering to go.

    What an unbelievable selection of dishes! I don't think I've ever seen such a diverse spread at a hot table Chinese restaurant. There was a variety of chicken, pork, beef, and fish dishes, as well as multiple different types of noodles. Unfortunately we weren't super hungry so we just got a plate to share instead of trying everything my eyes wanted. But all that we got was quite delicious! They are cash and venmo only, so come prepared!

    New owners and they had all these specials for Grand opening and i was charged 41.00 for 5 pieces of rib small ala carte of chow mein fried rice and green beans. When i asked about the sign 20 percent off and the young tall guy rudely start speaking in his language and ignores me . I than ask for hot sauce and utensils and he slams the hotsauce and utensils on counter and ignores me . A couple walks out and tells me his wife just came out bathroom from throwing up from the pork is spoiled and they still served . My items werent cooked fresh it came off the bar so i dont understand why it was so much . Also the sign in front a bunch of bull they dont honor it maybe only for their people. That was the first and last time rude guy i make sure my neighborhood knows not to support this kind of buisiness . My green beans was good but rice we threw away had a piece of hair in it and it was all mixed up im rice yuk .

    New low price option. Lunch for less than $10. Hope this is not just a grand opening thing & is permanent. And drives some competition

    8/22/25 FYI. Two item combo with fried rice. Spareribs & duck. $8.50.

    I don't typically write an update so soon, but I felt that this business warranted it. Quality/Quantity - We ordered for our guest two "Lunch Boxes" for ONLY $8.50 each. This place has got to be one of the least expensive lunch places in SF! Lunch box 1 = Steam rice with BBQ pork, bitter melon with shrimp & fish. Lunch box 2 = Fried rice with spareribs & duck. Still decent portions and of course, good flavors. Atmosphere - Still a new business, where everything is brand new (sorry except the bathroom floors). It looked good overall. See pictures. One unisex restroom in the back. Plenty of tables and good to see them being used on this trip. Service - The owner and the team were very welcoming and patient as we let our guest pick her own food. (She was NOT happy the last time I picked for her, as I chose too many vegan dishes, lol) Price - $18.36, Inexpensive. Especially for SF pricing!! Cash only. Owner Comment - Congrats since your opening on 12/19/24; wishing you the best. And we are regular customers now. :)

    Amazing value, fed the two of us for only $9.20 total ($8.50 + tax). If you get white rice instead of noodles, you can choose 3 things instead of 2 for the same price. One of the best deals in the city! There are several tables to sit at in the back, which is why we always come here instead of some of the other similar stores on Clement St. Service can be hit or miss depending on who's taking your order, but in general the experience is not too stressful. Cash only (they might take Venmo too)

    It's not easy finding cheap eats in San Francisco, but Lucky Eats does a great job in my opinion! They have a lot of meat, vegetable options with rice/noodles as well. You can get a plate of food for about ~$9, and the portions are pretty big. They also have some tables in the back where you can sit and eat at. If you don't have cash, they also take venmo!

    Walked past this spot and decided to try it. At first glance, the prices got our attention for the 3 item special with rice, and the food looked decent through the window. Got the eggplant, chicken and mushroom, and fried fish with plain rice. We paid $9.20. Everything had good flavor, tasted fresh, and wasn't overly oily. But the entrees were definitely quite heavy on the corn starch, making it extra goopy. The scoops of entrees aren't as big as wing lee, but here you get 3 instead of 2 choices of entree for around same price, so it's a choice you can make for yourself. Service was quick and there's nice seating inside.

    Second time at this place. This time we bought six bento, all for $50. Three items bento that comes with rice. Not bad at all. All the foods were delicious. I would come back and get bento here anytime. Food is tasty and very reasonable price.

    Huzzah! Bounty of food and deals galore. Just ask! 3-item combo - a complete meal - for how much? Whaaaa
    Michael Y.

    They have really Good vegetarian options with the bean curd veggie wraps!! We are back again for the $8 meal deal for 3 items!! It's pretty darn good. I like the variety of hot food that they have. I get their lean pork patties, and the meat sauces go well with rice! Here, you can get a second taste of Chinatown if you miss it! The people are awesome too! There may be a line oftentimes, but it moves quickly.

    Tip: CASH ONLY All the food are premade. This used to be Taiwan Restaurant. They had been opened for two months. They are currently offering a grand opening 20% off discount. When we walked in, there was a short line. However, the line moves fairly quick. They change their selections of entrees everyday besides the basics like chow mein, chow fun, and rice noodles. We ordered different entrees to try. We got two orders of the three items over steamed rice for $8.00 each. The curry chicken, stuffed tofu, and fried shrimp were very tasty. The braised chicken feet was $6.50 per pound and they were very flavorful. The stuffed bean curd was $6.50 for four. The fillings were shredded carrots, black fungus, and vermicelli. They were just as good as the ones at the dim sum restaurants. The stuffed tofu was $6.50 for six pieces. The bbq pork chow mein was $4.99 a pound. They were just ok. They were stingy on the bbq pork and shredded carrots. I felt like I was paying only for noodles. The prices are fairly reasonable and the employees are friendly. I will definitely come back to try their turnip cakes, pumpkin cake, and other entrees. However, they ran out of some of the entrees when I got there. I guess I will try to go there earlier next time for more selections.

The defining hurdle of a visit is the notorious wait time, where customers routinely stand on the sidewalk for an hour or more just to be squeezed into a cramped, noisy, and basic dining room. While the legendary original dry-fried chicken wings are decent, they ultimately fall short of their mythical reputation; the signature sweet-and-spicy glaze leans incredibly saccharine and sticky, masking meat that often turns out slightly dry and over-fried. Beyond the signature wings, the rest of the extensive menu feels surprisingly ordinary and heavy-handed with sodium, making standard dishes like the black bean sauce noodles and string beans feel like ordinary takeout rather than a destination meal. Combined with a hurried front-of-house staff operating an "all-business" conveyor belt to clear tables quickly, the rushed environment and inflated, ala-carte pricing leave you feeling like you paid premium time and money for what is ultimately a standard neighborhood Chinese spot. Thanks

(We came 20 mins before opening and wait was already 60 mins). The restaurant was small and cozy and the staff was very friendly Clay pot rice: this was my favorite dish out of everything we tried. The rice was perfectly oiled and crispy and the sausage was delicious Mapo spaghetti: I normally don't go for fusion dishes like this but this dish was surprisingly very yummy. A little too salty though if I were to be picky XO escargot: the XO sauce was delicious with the milk bread that it comes with. Steamed cod: this was one of the specials of the day and I'm glad we ordered it! The fish was very soft and light. Overall, great experience, yummy food, but not sure if it's worth the wait!

Anyway, having tried it, I can say it was good, but not so good that I'd expend that much energy to secure the reservation. Have to say, service was really great. Servers were attentive without being overbearing, which is always welcome. We ordered several dishes and dined, as they suggested, family style. To start, we were given two complimentary dishes, the roasted peanuts and the smashed cucumbers; both were nice appetizers. We ordered the Chiu Chow green beans, the Mongolian beef noodles, the claypot rice with lop cheung and bacon, the salt 'n peppa prawns, and the whole fried petrale sole, the last two being on the day's "specials" board. The winning dish was definitely the green beans. All the food was good, but seemed to be a bit overly salted and highly spiced. The piece of beef I had from the Mongolian beef noodles was tender, but one of my friends thought her piece was a bit tough and too chewy; we all thought the beef could have been cut into smaller or thinner pieces. We also shared two desserts since it was a birthday celebration (there are only three options offered). We had the red bean shaved ice and the mango pudding. Both were good (not "oh, boy, yummy" good, but good). Nice to try. The price wasn't outrageous ($200 including tax and tip), but I think this will be a "been there, done that" experience for me unless a friend absolutely wants to go again.
