Wongs Cafe redid the floor and painted the bars white. It's cozy and clean and the waitress is friendly. The portions are generous- the fried sesame chicken is saucy and crispy- even after boxing up the dinner leftovers it's crispy hours later (for that late night sweet/savory/crunchy snack) And confession time, I grew up in a house with security bars over every single window. Seriously, EVERY window! So eating here is a sentimental homie hood experience, like it adds more value to the meal! (See pic of remodeled dining area- but pay special attention to window with bars on it- reminisce with me!) read more

My husband ordered takeout from here because a friend had recommended it. But probably should have checked reviews and photos as it's only a few items that seem to be on repeat. We ordered Korean chicken wings - the sauce was extra starchy and thick. Flavor was lackluster. The wing itself was fine, good size. Peking pork chop - oh man this...was so disappointing. It tasted soo strongly of a vinegar tart flavor and again very starchy thick sauce. Both items were sooo off in flavor. I ate to eat, but bleh sadly they were both not good. Maybe we'll try the favorites next time but I'm staying away for now. read more

The beef was pretty good and the barbecue pork was okay. But the barbecue pork had a little bit of an aftertaste, and there was one piece of beef that was actually cold in the middle so I suspect it was cooked from frozen and they hadn't fully heated all of it up internally. The server was helpful, talking about all our allergy concerns, but in the end, my friend with a seafood allergy. They let us know there is just a little bit of oyster sauce, which is not too bad for my friend. But they still felt a little bit of tingling so we suspect there was more oyster sauce in the food than they let on. The restaurant was pretty empty, but it sometimes still took a little longer to get the server's attention, maybe because there are a lot of takeout orders. The restaurant is pretty nice inside and has plenty of seating, but there were a few tables with random stuff piled on them so maybe they were reorganizing or something read more

Paid about $16 for an order full of fried pork fat. I do not recommend getting these I should've believed the last review that said it's mostly batter... and they didn't even have the salt and pepper taste that most Chinese places have.. gross and a waste of money :/ read more

Wong's Cafe - Pork Ribs - Chinese Near Me - Daly City, California

We stopped here after dropping off my teen son at In and Out. We had and hankering for Chinese, so we dropped and ran! We stopped here planning to bring food home for other family members, so we bought a LOT! We had chicken chow fun, fried calamari, black bean beef, chicken and vegetables, sweet and sour pork, chicken won ton soup, and house fried rice. The table was too small for our order, but everything came hot and fresh and fast! It was all good, with nice crisp vegetables, tender meats, and sauces all seasoned just right. Were were also impressed at the service. It all came out so fast, so we had to get to-go boxes going just to have room to eat. The staff were there in a hot second, picking up the plates and handing us containers to fill. We enjoyed our meal and our family at home were happy, too. read more

Fried rice very dry maybe 4/5 days old. Also portions are getting smaller while the prices are going up every 6 months

There is interior seating but it's greasy spoon vibe. Wong's Cafe when I came on a late Sunday afternoon was very busy with takeout orders, and my walk-in order was ready within 15 minutes. Street parking can be tight. My order consisted of a Chow Fun with BBQ Pork that was well made and contained a generous amount of meat. The Beef with Bean Cake was good and again had lots of meat though I prefer the dish with Firm or Extra Firm Tofu. I can happily say the cooking is still spot on. read more

Cute, simple, delicious. Super kind friendly staff. The aroma when you enter will transport you to another dimension. Old school tiny restaurant with wok hard searing their extraordinary creations. Last minute request from daughter for Honey Walnut Shrimp. Rated well by other Yelpers. No brainer. Tip: cash or Venmo only. Worth it! Sorry, no photos. It was carry out and gobbled up too fast for photos. Haha read more

Braised bean cake with mushroom - favorite dish Singapore rice noodle - had the option of spicy but was kinda greasy Salt and pepper pork chop - heavy batter, not enough seasoning Mongolian beef - would get again Lemon chicken - okay, nothing special Bbq pork fried rice - too wet and kinda clumpy. Very affordable especially for big parties but overall was okay. read more

Wong's Cafe is still good for what it is, friendly, American-Chinese food. I'm still amazed at the hundreds of different dishes their little kitchen puts out. I like how you can substitute the rice dishes to chow mein or fried rice for an extra $2. Their kitchen made my dish in less than five minutes. Tonight I had their #140 fried salt & pepper fish with chow mein $13.50. The batter for the fried salt and pepper fish was a bit hard. The chow mein had too much soy sauce. My preference is less salt taste as it leaves a lingering taste hours after the meal. Regardless, service was friendly and the food tasted fine. read more

The food was amazing and its a great to go spot! They are fast and affordable! The service is so quick. I love their food. I got the Honey Walnut Chicken, look H.W.S. Is my favorite but i dont see any post or pictures about the H.W.C. So i decided to try it and it was AMAZING! The scrambled eggs w/ beef is my favorite its so good. You could do it with shrimp also but the beef is where its at. Until next time!! read more

Wong's Cafe - Tea - Chinese Near Me - Daly City, California

Hot, fast , reasonably priced takeout. Large portions. Hole in the wall. Corner cafe. Popular with locals. Favorite? Beef Chow fun Won Ton Soups A lot of the fried items are thickly battered and pretty avg seasoning -fish -pork chops Thw Mongolian beef is tasty but contains a lot of corn starch and onions in the base Good if you want fast food Hot fresh reasonable priced Do not expect high tier gourmet Chinese food here. The prices are for "fast food" not restaurant food... and you will be satisfied most are ~ $14.95 entrees on the menu Nice staff read more

Definitely a hole in the wall spot! Cheap prices and huge portions. I love the salt and pepper fish! This is a must when you get here. The crab rangoons were also my favorite here by far the best I've had tbh. I would skip on the peking pork chops it was just more fatty to me. It's a cash only spot but they do take venmo! They have seating inside if you want to enjoy your food there. Its nothing fancy or anything but a really great spot for great prices. I'll be back again! read more

A hole in the wall Cantonese Hong Kong style cafe tucked away on the corner of Hillside. This was my first time here as I wanted a place close by where I could eat and be in and out within an hour. Arriving around 12:45 I was seated in a corner table adjacent to what looked liked their storeroom which was fine as I wanted to have some privacy while eating. Upon entering the small kitchen area is behind the cashier area and like others had mentioned, one can smell and see the cooks making the food. Beef chow fun was plentiful with a good amount of beef along with adequate portions of bean sprouts, onions and green onions. On the other hand, I wish the dish had some more flavor as I ended up putting shiracha sauce on my dish. Luckily I had cash as I did not know while eating and look at the Yelp reviews that they only take cash. Will probably come back again when I want some Hong Kong style Cantonese food. read more

This is a most reasonably priced restaurant which makes superior Chinese foods. I try to patronize them always when I'm in town, I want them to stay in business! We always seem to order takeout from them but that's because we're normally dining with a lot of people and it's more comfortable to simply order out and bring to friends house to share along with what someone else brings. Parking is challenging if you don't bring someone else to pickup the orders. I also noticed that they do a huge amount of takeout as evidenced by the huge staging area for their takeout orders. We ordered the Singapore rice noodles but asked them to give us a lot less shrimp in the order, we're not a fan of shrimp and they seem to have a lot of shrimp in their orders, we love the rice noodles but shrimp not so much. We also ordered the salty fish with chicken fried rice, now that's comfort food. They do a fantastic job with this dish along with the great job they do with every dish they make. The prices may have changed but that's to be expected but their quality has not wavered. read more

It's a hole in the wall. Mainly for take out food. It's good. You can taste the "wok hay" that their woks are seasoned well. Ordered mix veggies, tomato beef chow mein HK style pan fried noodles extra crunchy. They separated the beef, and sauce in another container so you can pour it on at home yourself. They way it should be served! Last dish was salted fish/chicken fried rice. Made the way it's suppose to taste:authentic village style. Cash or Venmo only! Yum! read more

Sometimes it's not about the food. It's not even about the service. Truth be told, I don't think I've ever eaten inside this place more than twice in the decades that I've gone here growing up as a kid. Wong's Cafe for me, is memories. Memories of Friday nights with my parents and my brother and the comfort that Mongolian beef, salt and pepper pork chops, and honey walnut shrimp bring. The egg fried rice is like a hug on a plate. That was our Friday night dinner - - always to go, eaten in front of the 13" tube TV on the kitchen counter. There was no Uber eats, or DoorDash back then, it was just phone orders picked up by a woman who used to answer, "Wong Cafe". I don't know if that woman is still there, but if she were I would tell her, if loving you is Wong, I don't want to be right. read more

My family hardly ever orders Chinese food so I never really had a go to Chinese spot in my back pocket. My bf insisted on buying us a nice takeout dinner so I scoured Yelp to find somewhere since I really wasn't familiar with what was good in the area. We had narrowed it down to two potential spots but the other one didn't answer when we called so we decided to go with Wong's Cafe. After placing a decently sized order of 6 or so items, i was pleasantly surprised to hear that the order would be ready in just 15 minutes. Talk about efficiency!! It took about 15 min to get there from where we were so by the time we arrived the food was ready. Upon pick up, learned that this is a cash only or Venmo establishment. Parking was a little hard as it is in a residential area but all in all nothing too crazy. Loved the food, serving size, quick service, and friendliness of the staff here. Will be back! read more

The definition of a hole in the wall. Take out only, Phones in an order of wonton noodle soup and general chicken. The soup broth was very bland much like water. The general chicken was good but salty. The prices are cheap. I'll try other stuff on the menu next time. Cash/venmo only Street parking only read more

Wong's Cafe - General chicken - Chinese Near Me - Daly City, California

Had to come back for this delicious Chinese food! I opted for the all day rice plates subbed with fried rice and chow mein. I did order pretty early through the phone around 11:30am. When I arrived, the food was ready. The mongolian beef was tender and delicious. It's one of my favorites from here. Sadly, the fried rice was a little hard, maybe old from last night or overcooked. The general chicken was a first time try for me and it was really good! It had a sweetness to the glaze that was on the chicken and overall really enjoyed it. The chow mein noodles were delicious as well. Great price and size! read more

Delicious vegetarian takeout. Total hole in wall but what a winner. Each entree was fantastic.

I've drove by this place for years but this was the first time we tried based on all the good reviews. This is a-small hole- in the wall place which had surprisingly good food ( we only ordered 3 dishes: beef chow fun; Wong special fried rice; fried pork ribs), pretty large portions at good price point. We ordered to go. It was ready for pick up in about 20 minutes. We went on a Saturday about 4- 4:30pm so it wasn't crowded yet. There is only street parking. We will definitely be returning customers. Can't wait to try some of their other dishes. read more

Support small businesses! We came here and tried a few dishes -- everything was tasty, freshly made, and such great value. Hot & Sour Soup -- our favorite! Salt & Pepper Pork Chop Lemon Chicken with Fried Rice (combo plate) Beef with Chinese Greens -- our favorite! Portions are generous, prices are super reasonable, and the food comes out fast. Cash-only, but definitely worth it. Nice sit-down area and street parking only. Great mom-and-pop spot -- we'll be back! read more

Wong's Cafe offers very delicious food at a very accessible price. Got the salt and pepper fish rice plate with fried rice and shrimp chow mein to go and both were very satisfying to have with a large portion enough to be split into two meals and under $30. As you walk in, the smell of the cooking hits you as well! Honestly, it felt like I was eating a homemade meal since food is made fresh. Service was quick and they take both cash and Zelle only, no debit/credit cards! I will 100% come back here and try out their other food. read more

Wong's Cafe - Salt and pepper fish rice plate (substituted steamed rice for fried rice) - Chinese Near Me - Daly City, California

Came for the first time last week because my husband said there should be pretty good Chinese cuisine in this area if I'm ever here. I yelped a few places and chose this place because of 4.5 stars and proximity to where I was. I ordered 5 dishes: beef chow fun, honey walnut shrimp, Wong's fried rice, salt/ pepper fish and salt/pepper pork. We were overall extremely happy with the taste and the portions were large. For a hole in the wall place like this, I expected the food to be greasy but it wasn't at all. I thought we would have leftovers but it was so good we ate all of it in one day haha Very surprised and impressed by it all and will recommend this place to friends and family and come back here anytime I'm in the area. It was delicious and very enjoyable. Very impressive!!! Thank you I'll be back ! read more

I used to get food togo from Mings in San Bruno for the last 2.5 decades. Since they recently closed down due to retirement I've been on the hunt for a fast to go Chinese spot.

Wong's Cafe - Salt and pepper fish over fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Daly City, California

This a hole in the wall on the corner of the street that I almost totally passed by. I found this place via fellow Yelp reviewers when looking for a place for lunch for my family after visiting the nearby cemetery. They have indoor dining available but not a lot tables but we went on a weekday for lunch and had no problem getting a table. The service here is fantastic! The 2 guys helping us were very attentive and friendly and making sure we were comfortable and that the food was ok. The prices are also reasonable and the portions are very good. So they definitely have good going for them. There's a lot of items to choose from including lunch specials with rice. We did family style and ordered the following: Beef chow fun: lighter in color than I am used to but that was fine. Not too greasy. Honey walnut shrimp: great crunch to these and the shrimp were much bigger than expected Salt and pepper pork: a lot of pieces and nicely fried but more meat for each piece would have been nice. Also tasted like sugar might have been added. The food was fresh and hot and good but not great but I wasn't expecting it to be great for this price point. I would come back again. Remember that they only take cash and Venmo. read more

The literal definition of a hole in the wall restaurant! I've driven by here before but didn't even notice there was a restaurant in this area until I found it on Yelp. The prices are so fair, they have $10 plates all day, this price is basically unheard of for a meal nowadays! Their portions are also crazy huge and all of the food is freshly made to order. The food came out within 10 minutes after I ordered, the people here are all super kind and quick. Salt and pepper pork chop: I ordered this with extra jalapeno and it was so delicious. It came out crispy and hot & had the perfect amount of seasoning. The pork pieces were abundant but they were smaller than the typical salt & pepper pork chop you'd get elsewhere. Honey walnut shrimp: The shrimp pieces were so big and juicy!! The seasoning was sweet and creamy but I do wish there were a few more walnut pieces. Overall I'd definitely come back to try their other dishes! Parking is difficult & it's not in the safest area so I'd recommend coming with another person and having them double park while you run in and grab the food. read more

We ordered catering from Wong's Cafe for our baby shower a few weeks ago and it was a hit! I liked how clear their catering menu was. We ordered the salt and pepper chicken wings ($120 for large tray), salt and pepper fish ($120 for large tray), and honey walnut prawns ($140 for large tray) and all of them were hits! Will definitely think of Wong's in the future for catering. read more

Really great tasting and fresh Chinese food!! Moved to Daly City a few years ago and could never find a good place for Chinese food. Everything was mediocre. This place was so good and fresh. We ordered take out and live not too far. Food was piping hot. Even in the car we could smell how yummy it was! We got the salt and pepper chicken fried rice combo (chicken was sooo good and tasty! Mapo tofu had a nice kick! Hubby was happy with his Mongolian beef. I'm so happy we found a new spot! read more

Was out with my mom and she was craving Chinese food for lunch. I looked on Yelp and saw this restaurant had good reviews. So we went and tried it out. We were glad we did. It seems like at lunch, at least, this a popular place to order take out. The people there were very friendly. We were sat at the warmest table in the restaurant. They have a large number of lunch plates at very reasonable prices. I got the sweet and sour pork rice plate. I got it with fried rice at a small up charge. My mom got the honey walnut prawns with chow mein. The portions were very generous. I enjoyed my pork, as it was freshly cooked and had a slight crunch under the sauce. The honey prawns were also delicious and not overly sweet. Although it's more of a dive hole in the wall, we enjoyed our time there. The workers were so nice. Will be visiting again. read more

Wong's Cafe has been around for years. It was always our go to when we had parties. Back then, we would order party trays for any party we had our was attending. There has been a sketch in ownership I believe, but the food is still delicious and the prices are reasonable. When we dine in, the staff is always smiling and helpful. The place is small, but enough for a semi big party to dine in. Go check them out and try their salt and pepper fish! One of our all time favorites! read more

For reals a hole in the wall on a triangular corner. They serve all day lunch specials over rice which you can pay $2.00 extra to upgrade to chow mein or fried rice. I went with an Oder of their salt and pepper pork chops with chow mein and their general chicken with fried rice. The pork chop are good flavor wise and portion. The chow mein wasn't cracking. Wet and had no chew. The general chicken was decent. They throw in hella onions! The fried rice was pretty simple but good. Nice smokey wok taste. I'd go back! read more

Went here today after work and ordered my usual rice plate, which consisted of chicken and bell peppers. Upon checking out, the waitress told me that they already added tax and 10% tip to the bill. But my party was only 2? We were served our food and no one checked in on our table afterwards. Not sure if this is legal, but I was a bit thrown off by their new "rule" as tipping is NOT mandatory in California. I'm assuming this mandatory added tip is due to the rising costs of ingredients and to make sure they stay afloat instead of under? Either way, I'm a little perplexed by this and not sure if I'll be coming back to dine in. read more

Fast, phone in orders are the rule here. There's one large table- but you're gonna want to ToGo. Honey Walnut Shrimp were hot and fresh, very sweet. Good taste combo. Pot Stickers were hot and fresh- chicken- chewy and well-made... Could use a bit more flavor , the chili soy dipping sauce helped. Popular with locals, on the corner, very little parking. No checks, call in your orders. Lots of choices, with a menu online. Beef Chow Fun looks good. read more
