    Undercooked baked pork chop

    Formally known as Jojos cafe I decided to order from here on door dash. Upon eating my baked pork chop over rice I noticed the pork chop was undercooked. What a waste of $19

    First time to try their pan fried noodles here, very yummy dish, like it! As always, very nice and helpful staff

    While meeting up with friends, we decided to have dinner at Wei's Cafe. The place isn't large, but they do have a few tables, including a long one that can seat a small group. Our friends told us that Wei's Cafe, also called Jo Jo's Cafe, is a popular spot among locals. Their menu features American breakfast favorites, traditional Cantonese dishes, and Vietnamese cuisine. They also serve a few Hong Kong-style dishes, which I hadn't tried before. We chose to share a few plates, including Chicken Chow Fun, Spicy Garlic String Beans, and Basil Tofu. The food was good, and we all enjoyed the meal.

    Crab Rangoon

    The Crab Rangoon look good, but it was soggy not crispy. Seems like it was fried awhile back and just reheated to serve. Will not order again.

    This restaurant used to be JoJo's and has since changed its name to Wei's, though I believe it's the same owner. The food is still the same great quality, with no changes to the price or portion sizes. It's one of my go-to options for Friday dinners and works well for both dine-in and takeout. Sharing the updated menu for reference.

    Laksa noodle soup, good depth of flavor
    Ellen H.

    Really pleasantly surprised by the big menu and delicious food. Portions are big and prices are not expensive. We got beef pho, laksa curry noodles, garlic noodles with chicken, fried crab wontons, iced milk tea and iced lemon tea. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Lady server was friendly and the food cake fast. We'll definitely come back to try other dishes.

    A small, humble Chinese restaurant with a really warm and welcoming vibe. The staff were polite and genuinely kind, and you can feel the honesty in how they run the place. The food was simple, comforting, and very tasty -- the kind of meal that makes you feel at home. Nothing fancy, just good people and good cooking. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and would happily come back again.

    Chicken Garlic Noodle Plate
    Marco Y.

    Needed to drop something off at the UPS store and was in the mood for garlic noodles. I got the Chicken Garlic Noodle Plate and it was amazing. Generous portion of both chicken and noodles. I paired it with an Iced HK Milk tea which hit the spot on a pretty warm day. Service was very fast, only had to wait about 5-6 minutes for everything to come out. Staff is great as well.

    Baked Pork Chop
    Jenny X.

    Came here after a long run and it filled me up! Good: - The curry laksa soup was amazing! - The baked pork chop was also amazing - so much flavor - The portion sizes and prices were great- we even took home almost the whole dish since we had so much food left over. - The place is super clean and modern inside, super cute and nice fairy lights and tons of seating, no wait Bad: - The food took a little bit to get to us, and it was really cold inside on a super cold day - The servers don't speak great english so it's a bit hard to communicate Overall would come again for the value.

    Jo Jo's Wonton Soup (House Special Wonton Soup)
    Victor K.

    Wei's cafe also known as Jojos is a Cantonese/vietnamese cafe specializing in Hong Kong style dishes, Vietnamese food, and American breakfast. Upon entering you are transported to a warm inviting cafe that pulls you away from the busy streets of ocean ave and into a homie atmosphere. This morning seemed especially cold and foggy so I ordered the jojo's house special wonton soup. I should have payed attention as I thought it would come with noodles. Overall it was a very simply clean soup with plenty of toppings. Although I didn't really find the dish to be particularly special for a house special, it was filling enough to start the day and warm me up. Definitely would recommend if you're looking for a simple mom and pop shop! Service: no frills and straight to business 4/5 Ambiance: Wei's cafe has a rustic charm to it; Brick walls and natural elements all around 4/5 Food: jojos wonton soup comes with bok choy, some shrimp, wontons and a few mushrooms. 3.5/5 Overall rating: 4/5

    Very disappointed with a recent visit. They mistreated my wife and 3 year old son -- tossed out their food when they were using the restroom and still had their personal belongings at the table. Right before they used the restroom, we asked the waitress for a Togo box. So with personal belongings, an empty Togo box and full plates of food on the table, the wait staff tossed everything away. When we asked about it the waitress just said "huh". No apology, no restitution just pure ignorance. And we even tipped. Been a customer since 2007. Never coming back. To hell with this place. Rude!

    The portion is too small for this price
    Shinn T.

    The taste is normal, not really good, but not terrible. But the portion is too small for the price they list. $18.99 Walnut shrimp, smaller than other Chinese restaurant. Or even Panda Express Beef Chow Fun, you can see how thin/ small the portion is, not enough for an adult, my dad needs to eat something else to be full after that. Not recommend, will not go again.

    Hot Hong Kong Style Milk Tea
    Leung T.

    Jo Jo Cafe has changed its name to Wei's Café but it looks like nothing else changed. same menu, same insides and thankfully, almost same prices. It's one place that has only increased prices a little bit. BTW, you have to like the Hong Kong Style Café or 茶餐廳 thing to like the food.

Our party of 4 ordered the fried hawt rabbit, spicy Singaporean crab with fried milk bread, Hong Kong black pepper steak, and beef chow fun noodles to share family style. Overall, we were super impressed with all the food. Everything other than the chow fun were super unique, but all the flavor combinations worked so well together. While the chow fun wasn't unique, I'd say it's still a very solid dish. Everyone in my party left full and satisfied. The food is a bit on the pricey side for it what it is, so I wouldn't come here regularly but I think that it's worth coming for a special occasion. Service here is super friendly and attentive--our waitress checked in on us frequently and brought us extra napkins and gloves for our food, which was super appreciated. This restaurant is on the smaller end and does have a long wait, so if you can, I'd recommend making a reservation.

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 do remember that I absolutely loved the Peking duck. They came with very thin, I can only describe it as tortilla crêpe things that you would put it in. I love this so much better than the standard buns. I also loved the fried string beans. It was tempura fried and very light. It didn't taste greasy at all. Out of three places we went to dinner for work, this was my favorite by far. It is right in Ghirardelli Square so there's a lot of things you can walk around and do either before or after.

This location is also in Ghirardelli Square, so it is a fun, bustling area with lots to see and do before or after your meal. If you'd like a more authentic dim sum meal, perhaps you may enjoy heading to Chinatown to experience a more traditional set of dim sum offerings, but for our purposes today, this was more than adequate.

    Very cute HK style cafe with the best soup dumplings!…read more Stopped by on a Tuesday at 1300 and it was packed, which is a good sign! We ordered the HK style milk tea which wasn't the best. It had its signature flavor but felt watered down. I would pass on it or give it another try. Loved the tea eggs ! It's very hard to find a place that does it right. You can tell that the eggs were marinated enough by the color and perfectly salted. If I lived around here, I would get this all the time for breakfast! The congee itself was very good, nice flavor and the rice was cooked perfectly. The pork liver was definitely overcooked and dry, I would skip the liver and go for something else. The wontons and soup dumplings were so good! 5/5 I love that they don't mince the shrimp, instead they cut it half which gives each bite the perfect texture. The soup was made very well- nice and light. Favorite part was the soup dumplings. I'd dare say, these taste better than Din Tai Fung in SJ. 6 pieces instead of 10 but the size of these dumplings were massive. I was afraid they would be dry but that wasn't the case at all! Every bite had hot soup spilling out it and the soup was amazing! It had just the right amount of salt. They give you a side of vinegar which adds a tang to it ! This is a must get !!

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.
