    I seen this character in my social media feed talking about their favorite dishes in SF
    Juan V.

    There are people who prefer fast food they just do. I know people who prefer some fast food meals over Michelin star restaurant meals because of the portions sizes and cost . It's just their habit and some are just raised that way. Being born and raised in San Francisco I was fortunate to have great mom and pops local restaurants to enjoy all over San Francisco. During the holiday season it seems fast food places are the most requested places to go during the shopping season. Some people are impatient and want to eat right there right now even though there are some way better food a few blocks away. Growing up in the Mission District in San Francisco I would be puzzled on why people would order a 5 layer burrito from Taco Bell and would not go to 5 Taquerias within in a three block radius to grab a Mission District Burrito. I barely do fast food on my own and when I do it's usually with friends not in San Francisco. During the Holiday season I went to a fast food place which a Taiwanese born Chef invented the Orange Chicken. Located at Laurel Village in San Francisco there is a Panda Express. Clement street is one of the best places in the USA to grab Chinese food and is just down the road of this Panda Express . I was puzzled to why go to the Panda Express when there are literally dozens of better options for Chinese food on Clement street. I wasn't going to be ungrateful because they were treating me for a meal so I decided to get a plate at Panda Express. I got the Honey walnut shrimp and the orange chicken. The honey walnut shrimp was just okay and the orange chicken was tasty but just too sweet. Come here if you have A Christmas Story the movie holiday meal experience . Remember this place is take out only. The orange chicken was invented at a Hawaiian Panda Express by "Chef Kao" another dish they also sell at Panda Express that has "fowl "is the "Kung Pao " If You Know You Know ( IYKYK) if you don't ,you know "now " In the holiday season if you didn't cook and the stores are closed on Christmas and you feel" stuck" and you are thinking by going to Panda Express you will save an extra " buck" my recommendation would be to go a few blocks on Clement street and get some delicious " Chinese duck" so you can have a better Christmas dinner this year and bring on the new year with better "luck"

    Tofu eggplant, chicken mushroom, super green
    Helen L.

    Got a weds deal that I couldn't pass up. 2 plates for $14. What? A plate =2 entrees and 1 side. Got super greens. Love it. So garlicky. Chicken with mushrooms. Hardly any mushrooms. Eggplant and tofu, tiny kick. This was wok fresh. Beef broccoli. I had to wait for them to cook some more so that means it is freshly made, not sitting around. Depends on your server. One guy topped it off and gave a tiny extra. This is team work here. 4 people hustling to get starving people fed. Thank you for your hard work with a smile.

    Clean location with fast service. Ordered a Bigger Plate, which comes with three entrees and a side. For my side, I chose Chow Mein. Next time, I would try a half / half of Chow Mein & Super Greens. For my three entrees, I got two orange chicken and one eggplant and tofu. These are my go to options at Panda Express and they are always good. I really wish they had a tofu + green beans options. I also ordered a Chicken Egg Roll, which was super soggy and not crunchy at all. I will never order fried food from Panda Express again.

    Sizzling shrimp and string bean chicken
    Amy L.

    Love stopping by here for quick, easy takeout. Good prices and tasty American Chinese food. The plate is a good deal, and comes with two entrees plus a base. You can even split the base to be half rice and half chow mein. Favorites here are the kung pao chicken, string bean chicken, honey walnut shrimp, and more recently their new sizzling shrimp. The sizzling shrimp is so good. The sauce is rich and savory with tender grilled shrimp. Comes with juicy grilled onions and peppers. The portions are pretty small though. Wish they gave more of the entrees and less rice. You even get a free fortune cookie!

    So excited that we now have a Panda Express takeout spot in the Laurel neighborhood. Panda replaced where Noah's Bagel used to be. We came by and ordered the bigger plate (3 items) and a rice bowl to share. More than enough food for us. I think the only downside is that there's no seating. However there are a few benches outside. Or you can eat at home or at the office. Open until 9 pm, so another option besides Super Duper and Proposition Chicken.

    Walnut shrimp
    Lisa L.

    Ordered a family feast of chow mein, super vegetables, orange chicken, Beijing beef, mushroom chicken, and a medium side of walnut shrimp for takeout. The food was mostly tasty. The chow mein was kind of plain. The super vegetables weren't garlicy like the the super vegetables from the Stonestown mall location. The orange chicken and mushroom chicken were fine. The Beijing beef had a little bit of spice to it. The serving size of the super vegetables, Beijing beef, and walnut shrimp could have been larger and actually take up all the space in the container! This should be the case especially for the medium size of walnut shrimp since it's a premium item and costs more! The shrimp only come up to about half the container! And there were barely and walnuts-maybe half a walnut was present.

    Double Orange chicken and chow mein. And I open it and this is what i get.

Dip that milk bread in that buttery garlic chili oil goodness. I'm literally getting hungry writing this as we speak. Everyone was so friendly, Jane was super helpful and nice when we asked questions about menu items. Wish I caught everyone else's name too, very welcoming spot. Heads up; not a huge spot, so I wouldn't recommend for a group bigger than 4. Come here, it's a must! Definitely grab a Rez if you can.

The Guilin noodle soup was packed with flavor and quickly became my favorite dish here. I especially loved the pickled vegetables, they complemented the broth so well.

I'll definitely be coming back soon.

Sweet & Sour Spare Ribs糖醋小排 - this is a love hate for me, I actually love the seasoning and the sauce, but the spare ribs are impossible to eat!! It was so overcooked, hard and dark like charcoal, I feel like I was chewing rubber or something. It was not a cheap order either, and we had to throw it out after only a few bites and ordered something else for dinner. Maybe it was an off day? I don't know but given how bad it was we most likely won't be giving it another try.

Stopped by Palette Tea House with The Kid after FoodieLand thinking we were just coming for tea... and ended up having a full experience. We sat at the communal high-top table in the center of the restaurant, which has a small pond built into it with little goldfish and even a tiny rubber duck sitting on the rock formation -- such a cute detail and definitely adds to the ambiance. Our server Ken was fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He recommended the Iron Goddess tea, which ended up being excellent. The Kid ordered the Milk Aroma Oolong, which surprisingly tasted almost like milk tea even though it's just brewed tea. Each tea comes with its own kettle, and Ken even came back to refill the hot water for us. For food, we ordered the Wagyu Beef Fried Rice, which was a huge portion and easily shareable. Very flavorful and well prepared. We also tried the Sichuan Seafood Dumplings and the Iberico Pork Dumplings, both of which were delicious. One order is definitely enough to share. The dumplings come with several dipping sauces including soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, hot mustard, and a cilantro-based sauce that had a slightly sweet, horseradish-like flavor that really stood out. Service throughout the meal was amazing. Even without a reservation, we were seated immediately. As a Michelin-recognized restaurant for 2025, it definitely felt like a special treat and lived up to the experience.

A really busy place so be prepared to wait for your table, Sometimes they have to cut off the line at night so they can close off their business, so don't cut it close! Recommendations to order: Yin Yan (M2) - a Hong Kong special of milk tea mixed with coffee. Nothing get more HKish than this. Wonton Noodles (E1) - this is Cantonese style wonton, with really thin wrappers, along with thin egg noodles that has a firm and toothsome texture. Curry Beef with Rice (G12) - Just like back in Hong Kong! The beef tendon in there is so melty good! You can order the curry beef with noodles too but rice is better to soak up all the curry sauce. Hokkien Fried Rice (G10) - a luscious gravy on top of a fried rice filled with seafood and meat. You'll lick the bowl clean Rice Rolls (B) - their rice rolls are pretty solid too, smooth and slurpy. Just do yourself a flavor, don't order the Xiao Lung Bao Soup Dumplings here. It's not Cantonese, and there are definitely better places to get them.

I remember this was one of the first restaurants I visited when I first landed in San Francisco in 2024, so it brings back good memories. Here are my thoughts on everything I tried: Green onion pancakes: The best dish! No meat, just crispy pan-fried pancakes, but they're incredibly addictive. Beef brisket & beef tendon noodle soup: The broth was comforting. Honestly, the broth was everything for me. Beef brisket over noodles: A pass. It was too oily and felt heavy. BBQ pork: Yes! One of my favorites. So delicious. Seafood XO sauce stir-fried vermicelli: It needed more seasoning. We ended up adding soy sauce, which helped. Shanghai soup dumplings: Unfortunately, no. They were overcooked, and the soup leaked out as soon as I picked one up with my chopsticks (fyi, I know how to use chopsticks. I also know how to eat xiao long bao). Pork & chive dumplings: To be honest, they seem to always overcook their dumplings (I visited a few times and they always overcooked it). Maybe it's because they're always busy? Even so, the filling still tasted okay. Stir-fried baby bok choy with garlic sauce: It was okay. Nothing special, but a nice vegetable dish to balance out the meal. Overall, the food was definitely hit or miss. Some dishes were excellent, while others could use some improvement. However it's always busy and has a waitlist. That said, this restaurant has always been, and will continue to be popular because of its legacy. And I'll definitely come back for the memories.
