This place has cheap food. And if they ever serve it above like warm. I'd gladly go back and praise its quality with a 5 star. We went there twice and the food was great. However the third time we went. Our food was barely cooked it seemed like. Didn't really think about it just ate it. Then one morning we were craving breakfast food. Went there. And served basically raw eggs. Cold everything else. Sent plate back and got the eggs warmed up a bit. But everything was still cold. The waitress just shrugged. Not out of malice but she was just too timid to respond. The price is so great and I would totally give it another try but that breakfast was so icky feeling. Just the thought of going back and rolling the dice makes me feel well , icky. Wish that didn't happen. 2 good meals and 2 gross meals. But those 2 gross ones just makes me not even want to chance it. read more

This place was very empty when I came into this restaurant. There were a lot of tables to sit at while inside the decor looked colorful. The menu is colorful and easy to understand and read. The biggest thing that stood out at this cafe was that you had to get up and order at the desk instead of in-seat service. The service was still great because they were attentive. I ordered the R1. Grilled Pork Fried Eggs Rice Plate which contained a lot of grilled pork, an over easy egg and rice in a perfect mound shape. It tastes great but some pieces were a little overcooked. Since I went with my parents, my parents decided to order the daily combos that were on display at our table for us to notice. The specials included the rice plate as well as a choice of soda. The waitresses offered to give us shakes for the difference in the price of the actual shakes and gave them to us for the price of the sodas. They ordered the (R2. Grilled Pork and Imperial Roll Rice Plate) and it included one imperial roll which was crunchy and flavorful. Overall, this place is great and I would definitely come back again because it is close to my new apartment on Ocean ave. read more

This cute Asian cafe offers a variety of Asian/American/Vietnamese meals at an affordable price. They have a surprisingly large menu with an emphasis on traditional Vietnamese meals such as bahn mi, pho, spring rolls, and much much more. I got myself the bahn mi lunch special for only $5.50, which is a great deal in San Francisco. The atmosphere is extremely welcoming and warm. The decor is very modern and clean with bright lighting and mellow music playing in the background. The bench tables are very solid, probably made of oak/mahogany wood and match the aesthetics of the entire cafe. I will definitely return again. Pros: 1. Cheap food and daily deals 2. Variety of food 3. Opens early (7am) and closes late (9pm) Cons: 1. None I can think of really read more

Let's look past the $6.99 breakfast here. From the House Special Pan Fried Noodle, Combo Pho to Gan-Ba Chicken Wings, most dishes are perfect. The Chicken Pan Fried Noodle is sooooo good that it reminds me the good old taste back in Guangzhou.... How a chef can provide such a great variety of dishes within a very reasonable amount of time truly riddles me, only in a good way. BTW, General Tso's Chicken is a MUST! read more

Their menu is a marriage of Hong Kong and Vietnamese food which sounds weird but it was actually really good. The food is pretty cheap and they have daily specials that make a meal with drink only $10.95; I gotta say my monies right? Ordered a Grilled Pork rice place with imperial rolls. The rolls were a little hard and deep fried but still tasty. A lot of pork and a nice side of vegetables. Also ordered Vietnamese shrimp spring rolls and a Hk Style milk tea. The milk tea wasn't very authentic but decent for the Bay Area. read more

Used to come here a lot when JoJo was the owner. With the change of ownership and inflation, prices went up and food portions were much less. Ordered the beef combination pho and it only came with small pieces of everything：tiny piece of beef stew and two small pieces of beef balls and random beef. Still comes w lots of pho but little meat. Quite disappointing! read more

Excellent food. Great service! Will come again. Good neighborhood to walk around. Why do I have to keep writing for this review

Awesome food at great prices that can't be beat. My favorite go to place for a quick meal!

HONG KONG BAKED PORK CHOPS! FTW!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HK Baked Pork Chops. Did I mention, "LOVE"? It's my ultimate favorite Chinese comfort food though it's not really an authentic Chinese dish (it's British inspired) and I haven't found a good one in SF until NOW. MENU JoJo's Café is NOT your typical neighborhood Chinese restaurant. They have an extensive menu (over 400 items) with a plethora of American, Chinese and HK Style food items. You'll find anything from Corn Beef Hash, Southern Fried Chicken, Jook, Mongolian Beef, Roast Duck, Unagi Fried Rice, Baked Seafood with Rice or Spaghetti to Boba Milk Teas and Coconut Ice Cream Float. JoJo's has something that will satisfy any one of your cravings. Portions are massive (enough for two meals) and everything is under $9.95. There are $2.99 Breakfast and Brunch Specials (comes with free coffee or HK milk tea) on Monday to Friday from 8 AM- 11 AM and 2 PM - 5 PM. Delivery is available with a $15 minimum ($2 within a 3 mile radius) and CC's are accepted with a $15 minimum. I ordered to go and didn't dine in but JoJo's seemed very clean (considering they just remodeled). I even watched the owner (?) explain to one of the employees HOW the coffee maker should be properly cleaned. Most Asian restaurants can care less about sanitation, much less proper cleaning methods so that was a welcome change to see. The employees were very friendly and spoke English fairly well unlike other HK Cafes I've been to. HK BAKED PORK CHOPS - $7.45 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/MryRUvM1rVVtCXBuP8652w?select=GkU9wtmwpW3apIE-S6H2QQ Granted I've never tried the HK Baked Pork Chops at VIP Coffee and Cake Shop in Chinatown which is suppose to have the BEST in SF but JoJo's definitely makes a BOMB one! I've tried the ones at ABC, D&A, S&E, and T-28 just to name a few and this is by far the BEST I've tasted! The fried rice is perfectly al-dente with soft fluffy egg pieces. The pork chop is slightly thinner than other restaurants producing a much softer and tender piece of meat. The tomato sauce, OMG, "THE" sauce is savory, tangy and ultra creamy; like a thick cream of tomato soup. It's nothing like the ones I've tried at other restaurants which tastes like a glop of watered down tomato paste. Topped with cheese that's baked to a bubbly oooey gooeyness, it adds a yet another layer to the comfort factor. With each bite, you can feel a nice warmth surround your tummy; it's truly a dish that feeds the soul! I can't give JoJo's 5 Stars because I haven't tried anything else on the menu. However, as with most HK Cafes there's only a handful of go-to dishes so stick with anything baked and/or fried and you should be good. I would veer away from order anything American like a NY Steak or a Burger because it's like going to Jack in the Box and ordering a Chicken Teriyaki Bowl which is just wrong on so many levels especially if you're sober. read more

Wei’s Cafe - Hong Kong Baked Pork Chops! SOO GOOD! - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I thought I wrote a review for this place before as I visited whenever I need my baked Portuguese pork chops with cheese. They are not the best on the dish however, within Ingleside, they could be. I love the services. Fast, polite and quite friendly. Food always come out hot and tasty looking. The store looks clean and well organized. Their fried rice is a bit bland. They don't have Sriracha so it is hard for me to fully enjoy the dish. I had Veggie omelet this time. Nice presentation as always. Smell good. It didn't wrap as tight as I hoped for. The ingredients are fresh and again, tasty. read more

Good quality food at affordable prices. Their Hong Kong style milk tea are very testy and close to what I remember from Hong Kong. Their chicken wings are excellent. Baked Seafood over rice is our favorite. Too many good dishes. It is a hidden gem read more

3.75 Stars Just barely missed the breakfast specials for Jojo's Cafe so my friends and I tried the dinner menu. We had chosen fried tofu with pork and minced beef over rice. For $5.25, we got more than a lot, it was super sized. I was like wow, who still makes plates this big? But I wasn't complaining. I have to come back and try the rest of their menu but my minced beef was definitely good. The minced beef was doused with oyster sauce and perfectly tender in every bite. It comes with a raw egg but the server allowed me to get a fried egg on top because I don't do too well with raw foods with being sickened twice in less than a year. The complimentary soup was nothing special and my friend didn't like his fried tofu dish. Service was really good and it is a hole in the wall but I really liked it. Gotta come back and try the rest of the menu. Come on a Sunday and parking is free! read more

Wei’s Cafe - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

3.5 stars -I love coming here for cheap, good, big portioned food. Most dishes here are under $8, and I can rarely finish one order myself. I always share with a friend. The menu has soo many choices to choose from, so good luck deciding! Also, American breakfast is served all day!! Pancakes, eggs, sausages 24/7. I have tried and can vouch for the beef chow fun, seafood pan fried noodles, egg foo yung, and fried rice dishes. All of these are definitely two person portions in my opinion. **The house special chicken wings taste comparable to San Tung's wings! $5.50 for 6 pieces. They definitely fixed my craving today.** Don't expect amazing service, just enjoy the good cheap food. And, cash only for meals under $15, otherwise there is a card charge. read more

Wei’s Cafe - Bahn mi with chicken and egg - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came here to eat for dinner. The food I got was great. The only problem is that one of the worker gave me an attitude. I used to go come and order food while back and seem like the place have changed a lot over the past years. read more

Ok, first thing first, this is not any cheap HK tea restaurant, the price is up there. My friend jokingly says this is like Hong Kong Fine Dine. However, QUALITY is also here. It's been a while i had more authentic HK rice plates and peking style pork chop rice burnt and crispy edges. Baked dishes are also stellar. (Not just any other baked dishes) Let alone HK milk tea. I am from HK and I can say this is one of the few places in the Bay Area that can remake the HK flavor that we miss. The other thing I appreciate is how they redo the HK tea restaurant with their own twist, so you can the good seating environment like a hippie cafe, but great food with flexibility of most of the ingredient you wish to add to create custom dishes. Great for gluten intolerant people like me. All in all, if you dont mind the price, this is a good place in terms of HK food and get together with friends. Big party is also good since they're not always crowded. read more

I still find it a little hard to believe haven't gone to Jojo's Cafe. But in 2010, I came for the first time and ate lunch here with my classmate. We came in between 1 pm - 2 pm, it wasn't very crowded; we were greeted, immediately seated and given menus upon walking in. I ordered a bowl of wonton noodle soup, it's delicious and one of my favorites. Overall, very good service and friendly staff. 12/29/2014: Their milk tea with boba tastes good. The boba was very soft and chewy, sweetness of the milk tea is perfect. I enjoyed the cup of milk tea I had and I'll be back to try other items on the menu. This is definitely one of the best places for something to eat. 01/29/2015: Breakfast items served all day? Goodie! I've been walking past this place a lot lately and have been meaning to try something else from the menu. So I finally did! Today, I ordered: - Ham and 2 Eggs which came with Hash Browns - 2 Wheat Toasts with Butter and Jam - Hong Kong Style Milk Tea Overall: * Good food * Good service * Friendly staff * Clean facility * Reasonable pricing read more

Cozy but uniquely modern themed for a chinese resto! I ordered Mongolian beef over rice+ watermelon shake this time! Might try their iced thai tea w/ boba some other time. read more

Wei’s Cafe - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm sure the new restaurant is decent but you get 2 stars for pulling that very cruel joke. After months of eagerly waiting for them to open after their supposed "remodel", I arrive to find out that it's a whole new restaurant despite the same name. If they were honest about it and just changed the name with a new Yelp review, I'd be more excited for them. Instead, I just feel deceived. Loyal customers just had backs turned on them. Everything we loved about this place is gone. Everything. Breakfast specials? Gone. But what if you're willing to pay overprice for macaroni? You won't even have the chance to. They don't serve that anymore. Yeah, that's right. The signature dish for American HK dining disappeared. Chinese food at a Chinese place? Mostly gone. Bright atmosphere? Gone. Milk tea? Not on the menu but you can ask for it. Oh and did you want breakfast before 10am? Sorry, the new hours are set like the ridiculous folks at Skyline Cafe. If you want weekday breakfast business, you have to open before 10am. That's just a simple rule. The new hours and completely new restaurant just sent regulars elsewhere. Looks like Jo Jo wants to start over with brand new clientele. This isn't exactly the neighborhood for that but, good luck. I won't be seeing you around. read more

Brand New!! Baked rice and milk tea and all the chinese traditional plates are still there. Same or better taste!!!! Cost is higher but portion is HUGE!! baked fish enough for 2 people to share and still makes the best HK milk tea ( larger too!!!!) read more

Tried JoJo's cafe for the first time based on my friend's recommendation (who is a serious foodie!) Upon entering, you are immediately warmly greeted by jojo, a classically trained French chef equipped with a set of knives and a professional headset on! Jojo and her staff will excite your palate and tantalize your tastebuds with such delicious, classically prepared dishes such as: -Chicken, box rice and steamed broccoli -grilled cheese -slop (a mesmerizing melange of ground turkey and exotic spices shipped over from the Middle East. -Cutlets Don't forget you appetite; this place serves you 3 desserts with every meal! I will be retuning shortly to this place! read more

Pretty casual HK style bistro place. Decent amount of space inside, with pretty good HK food. I ordered the baked steak over rice--the plate was hot, which was nice, and the rice underneath was actually fried rice. The portions are just right--not too much but also not too little. The amount of sauce was also just right as well, which is usually hard to get right at most other restaurants. The only downside is I was sitting next to the door, which unfortunately had a couple of flies zooming around. It's no big deal really--just a little annoying to have flies zooming behind you while you eat, but not a big deal. The menu they have is huge, with both HK style food items and Americanized chinese food as well. About half the people there order the usual Americanized food (e.g. fried rice) while the others ordered things like HK food like Spam on Ramen, so I would say this is a pretty safe place to bring your friends if you don't know what kind of chinese food they prefer. read more

JoJo's Cafe is a nice Chinese American styled diner. They have excellent service and are friendly. The food is reasonably priced and portions are fair. I'm not sure if there's any trademark "go to" dish here, so it's, to me, one of those steady reliable places to eat. I had the pork in macaroni soup, which was good, similar to chicken noodle broth, but with elbow macaroni pasta instead of noodles and pork slices instead of chicken. It was under $5 for their breakfast special. Interestingly, we were able to order some fresh home (restaurant) made gravy here at $3 per container, which helped our holiday meal we cooked at home (and forgot to make gravy for). It was savory, delicious and highly recommended (way better than anything canned, in a jar or those powder mixes you get at the market). Parking is fairly easy in the area, but the area itself can be a bit sketchy, but not overtly dangerous. It's the Ingleside. read more

Placed an order for lunch and we usually order a cheeseburger for my son. Never has any issues in the past. Today, the burger was very disappointed. Upon opening the box, the top bun was partially burnt. Seriously? You do not check the quality of the food before heading out the door for delivery by Grubhub. You don't care who gets the burnt bun but I do. Get your grill together and pay attention to the buns. Would you serve burnt toast or anything to a paying customer? read more

Wei’s Cafe - Unacceptable! - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Jo Jo's cafe is a Saturday morning ritual. I love to eat here every weekend because of the breakfast specials and outdoor seating (due to Covid). It's hard to find places that offer outdoor dining. The food is always tasty and I highly recommend the breakfast special with the CORN BEEF HASH and/or FRENCH TOAST. The breakfast special is super affordable and is under $10 and WITH a latte too! There is an elderly asian woman that always remembers us and our order too (I wonder if she is Jo Jo!) read more

I am so so sad about this but Jojo's has changed their menu and their whole vibe. This used to be a HK style cafe that served BOMB beef chow fun and other HK/ Chinese dishes. However, they've done a whole 180 and now serve only Vietnamese dishes????? Some of the dishes aren't even spelled right. I was so confused going back to Jojo's after some time and finding this out. Please whoever owns Jojo's bring back the old menu!!!!!!!!!!! read more

JoJos cafe is very nice! I ordered the baked rice with tomato sauce and white sauce , a combination Vietnamese sandwich, potato fries, grilled pork with rice, and imperial rolls. The workers are very friendly and the interior is very modern and clean! The food was really good and the prices are reasonable!! My favorite dish is the baked rice, it was not too salty and the flavors were very distinct. They also serve andytown coffee and cookies! The cafe is a cafeteria style cafe, you place your order at the register and pay for it and find a table to wait for your food to come! Overall I would definitely come back to try more of the dishes! read more

3 1/2 Stars 4/5 - Special Combo Beef Noodle Soup. No skimping on the noodles or Beef. Soup flavor was a little salty, maybe some msg? Sriracha & oyster sauce is served on the side with a slice of lemon, mint leaves and 2 slices of pepper. The accompanying bean sprouts were disappointing. It felt to be room temperature or was not refrigerated. Either way, not good. 4/5 - Grilled Pork & Imperial Roll Vermicelli. Kitchen forgot to include the grilled pork, which was easily remedied by staff. Again, plenty of noodles, which was a pleasant surprise. More importantly, did not come sticky or congealed. Big plus! Salad was a bit sparse, but that may be due to the plentiful noodles. Imperial Roll was good, but was skinnier than what I'm accustomed to. Pork was nicely, and freshly grilled. Additionally, NO gristle, which caught me off-guard. The fish sauce it came with was mild and not too salty, nice touch. 3/5 Grilled Pork & Pate Sandwich. Flavorful, although I can't seem to taste (nor see) the patè. Still, the price is comparable, if not lower, than Saigon Sandwich in the TL. 3/5 - Veggie Egg Roll. Two medium sized egg rolls cut in two. Run of the mill egg rolls that came with marinated carrots and radish. This was free for orders over $25. It was free, so bumping up an extra point for that alone. After some hiccup with payment and missing item, overall, it was a decent experience and the price point was fair. Would come again to try other offerings. Tips: - IF DINE IN, Vaccine card (phone pic ok) AND matching ID checked - If dining outside (eating stall), then vaccine proof is not necessary. - No condiments on the tables. You have to ask the wait staff - Cup(s) of hot tea included with dine in orders read more

You know, it's not as good as Golden Island or anywhere close to the Chinatown cafes, but it'll work in a pinch. Don't expect a strong Hong Kong milk tea or the classic beef noodle soups, and certainly don't expect Chinatown prices. The soups are hearty and savory, and the noodles are a classic egg noodle variety. Portions are decently sized, but you don't get the classic Hong Kong flavors. Dishes are pretty authentic and Hong Kong style though. Easy to order, menus come in English and Chinese, and you won't be waiting for a table in this newly renovated spot. read more

Wei’s Cafe - Beef egg noodle soup with bok choy and Hong Kong milk tea - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

TLDR: A nice HK style canting on Ocean street with a modern feel but serves all the old classics. Food: HK style milk tea Salt and Pepper Pork Chop Have been going to Jo Jo's Cafe since high school. They remodeled and reformatted the menu but the place is still one of my favorites to get HK style food. I always get the Salt and Pepper Pork Chop. They give you a plate half with rice and half pork chop. The pork chop comes in small to medium size pieces and comes with hot green jalapenos, green onion, and garlic. The pieces are always crispy and have a good balance of fat and meat. The jalapenos, green onion, and garlic go will on top of the rice. The HK milk tea comes with a little condensed milk mixed in. They give you more condensed milk and sugar on the side to add in. This is probably my favorite part as it allows you customize the tea to your liking. The service is fast and wait staff are really nice. Ambiance: The cafe looks modern after the remodeling. Wood dominates the new styling. There are tables that can seat couples and families. There is also a high chair counter area for single people. The place is also very clean. Allergies: The weight staff have always been nice and accommodating and will gladly check with the kitchen for ingredients. read more

Literally been coming here since 2004. The food had always been great, service superb, and price point amazing. Really glad they kept up the quality ever since rebranding/remodelling/changing hands (?) and happy to pay the slightly higher pricing but the portions are significantly smaller. While the food is still great, due to jacking up the price and slimming down on portions after renovations, I definitely feel like I'm paying a lot more for a lot less. Just my two cents on that little tidbit. Baked seafood rice is still my favorite here, I don't love it as much anywhere else. Just the right amount of creaminess, never over the top or sickening, and quite generous with the seafood. It will always be my first love. read more

Great place for a cheap breakfast. They have awesome affordable specials. I got a ham and egg macaroni soup for $5.25 which includes milk tea. I'm going to go back and eat dinner there because they had a good variety of options. I love baked chicken and seafood dishes. Customer service was good and its a nice place for good food at an extremely affordable price. Parking a bit hard because of the 24 hour fitness across the street but you can probably find a parking spot a few blocks away. read more

I use to enjoy this place a lot while going to college near by, Hong Kong style food is one of my favorite. But recently the quality been getting worst. I got the salt and pepper pork chop, parts of the meat was fried to a crisp because they refried some leftovers in oil and you can see a new layer of flour and then when you dig through it, the old layer. The meat coloring has turn gray and tasted definitely over night. I tried not to waste food but it was that disgusting I couldn't finish it. Later I had a stomach ache. Porkchop+lemon tea+tips $18. Felt like a waste read more

In the morning, the breakfast deal menu is the way to go; order one of two dozen items to go with coffee or milk tea for $3.99. The food is average, not fantastic by any means but not mediocre either. They also have a regular menu and a specials menu. Whichever way, there are lots of items to please any food preference. If you do not have time to get to a nicer, better brunch place, then this place is good enough. If you have $20 in your pocket, you will eat very well. There's one TV and they had the Food Network on, on this visit. read more
