Omg the food here was delicious! I loved the sesame chicken, the shrimp fried rice and the delicious chicken and corn soup! The pricing was affordable and I even ordered some Salt and pepper chicken wings to go, which my sister ended up snatching up! I would definitely go back again since they were one of the few Chinese restaurants open late night, mind you, I went and dined in at around 11pm. Tell me that's not worth it! Oh and also, I do not drink alkie so this is a legit review. Worth it. Only thing I'd change is that we have to order through QR code at the table and it makes it difficult to customize anything (the site they use is a little limited) and well since we are in the TL, the customer service may be off. Nonetheless, the food was delish! They're also on Uber Eats read more

Wen’s Kitchen - This is the beautiful entrance! You can tell this building is historic if you go inside! - Szechuan Near Me - San Francisco, California

Affordable and good value for a local Chinese restaurant! Love how it's on Polk. Very accessible via Muni and bike. I enjoyed the Jajyeon mein (not many places have it!) and Wonton in Chili Oil. Good portions and good flavor. Service was fine. Cool ambiance and interior inside. Will be back! read more

Walked in around 11 PM on a Friday night and it wasn't too crowded, so we were able to sit right away. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. We ordered the orange chicken, egg rolls, chicken corn soup, BBQ pork fried rice, and chicken chow mein. Honestly, I wasn't expecting the food to be that great since it was so late, but everything we ordered was really good. The chow mein and fried rice were probably some of the best I've had. The portions are family-style and perfect for sharing. Pricing was pretty similar to other good Chinese restaurants we've been to, so it felt fair for the amount of food you get. Definitely a pleasant late-night surprise read more

Came all the way from SJ for this place as my GF raved about the menu is not as huge as most Chinese places I'm use to. Food was a ok but not something I would drive all the way to SF for. I can get same in San Jose. Salt and pepper pork was more like tempura pork. Eggplant was not cooked enough was still hard. Beans over cook not crunchy. Soup was good. read more

Ordered to go. Holy smokes. This was some good beef chow fun. Spicy. Flavorful. Goooooood. I only ordered the one dish so I cant speak on other menu items. The beef cooked great, noodles great, spice great, 5 stars. I must stop by to dine in next time! Might be my new neighborhood spot. read more

Me and my friends stopped by this spot to try Chinese food during our trip. Definitely wouldn't recommend. The food wasn't even that good, and the customer service was horrible. Whoever the lady at the front was had such a nasty attitude. We honestly understood why the restaurant was empty on a weekend. If she's the owner, I don't see this restaurant lasting very long. read more

Great late night spot on Polk street! great for post bar or pot night out meal. amazing chinese food and great service! read more

My friend and I came here on a late weekend night, and we're glad this place is open this late! While there was originally no one when we walked in, the restaurant soon filled with a few groups even at 10:30PM. They had comfortable seating with beautiful scenic paintings across the wall, along with some TVs across the corner of the walls. We ordered the through QR codes their Signature Fried Rice and Signature Chow Mein with beef. The order came out within 15 minutes, and the portions were large! Nevertheless, we were able to finish our meal even with only two people. The chow mein was greasier than what I would have liked it to be, but it was as good as the fried rice. For a late night spot, Wen's Kitchen is worth trying! read more

Average Chinese joint. Felt like the portions were kind of small for the price, but the location is spacious and nice. Service is mostly self-serve. Scan the QR code at the table, order and pay through your phone. read more

Overpriced, stingy portions, horrible service. I ordered a tea pot, and requested an additional tea cup for our party of three; we were only given two and were told flatly that the tea pot only comes with two. This is the second time we've been here, and this is surely the last, since this visit confirms that there is zero interest in providing good customer service. Cold, deflated ambience and reception. Flat out rude and abrasive. ***Convenient for them, they will direct you to scan the QR code on the table for the menu, which will force you to pay for everything and tipping first, which is obviously irreversible. read more

Do not expect a dining experience here. This restaurant is more designed for takeout. When you enter, the proprietor directs you to take a seat and order from a QR code. You order and pay from your phone. There is no service per se so don't waste your money on a tip. She wasn't very helpful with questions I had regarding the menu and I selected the wrong item. It wasn't quite the atmosphere we were looking for so we changed the order to takeout and left. The food itself is not bad but a bit greasier than I prefer. Just don't get your expectations up for a dining experience. It's best for late night grub, takeout or delivery. read more

Horrible, expensive, and rude. I got stomach cramps immediately after eating the shrimp fried rice, I got diarrhea from this restaurant. There is no customer service, they just sit there and expect you to order & pay, but won't even say hi or welcome. I paid $48 for fried rice, general chicken, and steamed rice. This place is way over priced. I don't recommend anyone coming here. I came years ago when the food was still good, and apparently there's a new owner. The food didn't taste good and was not worth the price or portions. My 3 year old toddler was sipping the last of his water before we left & the staff member told him "Do not take the cup" to which I responded "nobody wants your cheap cups or horrible food." Rude & unpleasant staff, overpriced food and I got sick. You're welcome for the review, don't risk it. read more

amazing service and the inside was decorated beautifully. the food came relatively quickly and was pretty tasty highly recommend

Walked into and angry looking woman. She blurted out, pick a table and scan menu, but I didn't really hear what she said clearly and I asked her to please repeat herself and it annoyed her further. Whatever we asked for pissed her off futher. She brought us only 2 paper napkins and I asked for one more and she told me I could get it myself, at this point I had had enough of her rudeness and told her it was her job and to get to it. The rest of the dinner went better on from there. We ordered a chicken dish, vegetables and rice dish. The chicken DID NOT taste like chicken and the vegetable dish was the only dish that tasted OK. Please do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. read more

honestly the food wasn't bad, but on the pricer end. wish the hk pan fried noodle had more sauce, and the wontons in chilli oil were more in a chilli sauce. shrimp was pretty fresh tho read more

Unfortunately, the ownership changed about 5 or 6 years ago, and with that, so did the taste and prices. I decided to give them another try today, but paying $20 for a small box of fried rice just isn't worth it. read more

Love coming here for tasty and quick Chinese takeout. My favorite dishes are the hot and sour soup and the Thai tofu. I cannot recommend the hot and sour soup enough!! It's the best hot and sour soup in the entire city. Highly recommend! read more

First time I went to this place I was drunk out of my mind. Went for a late night snack to sober up. I swear I don't remember much of the night BUT let me tell you I remember the honey walnut prawns!!! Everything I had was good, but I couldn't get the taste of the prawns off my mind. For weeks I've been craving them and wondering if they were really as good as I remember, or if I was just really drunk. So last night my boyfriend and I drove back to the city to for these damn honey walnut prawns. And I can confirm, THEY ARE THE BEST FREAKING HONEY WALNUT PRAWNS IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. Ordering is through your phone, super easy. Service is also quick. If you're even on Polk street and need some eats I recommend stopping by Wen's Kitchen for sure! read more

We happened upon this on accident. Wen's was soooooo good! It was very easy to order on our phones, they're open late, and delicious.

Friendly family-run business. I'll definitely come back. Food/drink: Many familiar chinese staples & szechuan specialties. Spice level was perfect for my group but I would've preferred more heat in some dishes. (I typically prefer more spicy than the average person). Loved the vegetarian options. Interior: Lots of space & natural light. Occasion: Super versatile - Good for pre or post-night out, they have their liquor license. I prefer going during slower periods (weekends/daytime) for more relaxing meals. read more

Forgot to take more pictures but this place has delicious Chinese food! All the flavors are on-point, my favorite dish (not pictured) is the Szechuan popcorn chicken. All the Szechuan dishes had really yummy flavors without burning my tongue off! Other highlights include the hot and sour soup, the beef noodle soup, and the thinly sliced pork! Authentic flavors but very pallatable for anyone looking for a good bite. Restaurant has new ownership, the ambiance was nice and service was great! Can't wait to go back! read more

First time visiting this restaurant & it was an amazing experience. The food was 10 out of 10 along with the service. I ordered beef chow fun, honey walnut, prawns, Mongolian beef, with steamed rice. The fried chicken was amazing. Crispiest chicken I've ever had! I most definitely will recommend this to anyone that's in the city, even if they're not in the city. read more

Brand new owners (I heard) and newly updated. The place is a bit intimate but if a lot of people were here, acoustics might be a bit loud. Their alcohol license is still in progress so they didn't serve us yet. Ordering is via the QR code on your table. Sadly, when we went here, we had issues using the app - we were in the middle of payment when we decided to add more items. After that, it wasn't letting us complete the transaction. But the server was nice enough to take our orders on her end. The food is family style. Each dish can be s between 3-4 people, up to 6 if you eat light. There were 8 of us and we had to order 2x Mongolian Beef and 2x Walnut Prawns. I can't say much about the food except that it was very delicious. Not in photo, Singapore Noodles and Orange Chicken. Nothing is greasy, even the pork belly. A new gem in the city. read more

Very good. Very tasty. But like other recent reviews say they dont really give you much for the price you pay. When i go i get the mongolian beef and steamed rice... very good but for 26$ i dont expect to be still hungry and that was the case read more

Food was good. Kinda pricey. Service is above average. Place is cool actually but you could here the thumping from the club next door

Good food. Had special request and they were able to accommodate. Place is well kept. Owner is friendly.

AMAZING. Had the Mongolian beef, Sesame Chicken, bbq Pork fried rice, prawn chow mein, won ton soup. Everything was amazing and delicious. New favorite spot for Chinese read more

Surprisingly bad. Ate here twice in a week because I hoped the first awful experience was just a fluke. 30+ minute wait for a take-out order for absolute garbage noodles that were worse than microwave noodles from a local bodega. $20 for food that tasted like sand/dirt when I could eat "top ramen" for $2. Staff was polite but incompetent. The other folks waiting in line behind me just left after not being served. Ate a few bites, then tossed the order into the trash and bought dinner from the restaurant next door. read more

Can't speak to the ambiance, but our chicken chow mein, pork fried rice, and honey walnut shrimp was fantastic. I ordered takeout, so I also can't speak to the service. Would definitely come here again though. read more

I was in the city late and wanted a late night snack. Wens kitchen showed up in Yelp as open late and sounded good. We had fried calamari fried rice and noodles. The salt & pepper calamari was so tasty and Crispy. The best I had in awhile. The noodles and fried rice were perfectly prepared. Each dish was Flavorful. Chef was excellent and the staff was friendly and attentive. I hope to visit again. read more

What a sweet place! Remodeled and refreshed from an older long-established Chinse restaurant, this new restaurant is excellent. The Thai Basil Tofu is a masterpiece and there will be a line out the door when customers discover the fantastic Slow Braised Beef Noodle Soup. Hubby and I have enjoyed eating here twice and also ordered take-out on another occasion. Every dish we have selected was presented with care and attention to the right flavors. Thanks to these new owners for having to courage to invest a whole lot of money and time to reviving an old location and making it fresh and new. A hearty thanks to Lee who always recognizes us and makes us feel welcome. read more
