    chinese menu
    Grace Y.

    Hole in the wall restaurant that is always filled with locals. It's almost winter solstice so was craving some tangyuan - Yummy Yummy has a savory Toisan tangyuan that is delicious. The glutinous rice balls come in a large bowl of savory soup with dried shrimp, Chinese sausage, cabbage, etc. Highly recommend to warm yourself up in this cold! Another menu highlight was something posted in Chinese on the walls: beef tendon rice roll clay pot. I'm a huge fan of beef tendon but never had this combo -- worked super well together.

    BBQ Pork Rice Noodle Rolls

    It's a hole in a wall Chinatown restaurant. Can't expect perfect service, but food is usually decent. I'd give this place a solid 3.5 stars for food but rounded up 1/2 a star because we've had better food the other times dining here. BBQ PORK and SHRIMP RICE NOODLE ROLLS: We come here for their rice noodle rolls. They're really soft and melt in your mouth, GOOD! And they give a big portion for that dish. 5/5 BEEF BRISKET WONTON NOODLE SOUP: This dish is good and pretty hearty. Decent flavor and not overly salty. The wonton meat filling was quite soft too. 5/5 STEAMED EGG CUSTARD BUNS: I was disappointed with these buns. They did not taste fresh. In fact, they tasted old even though they were steamed. The bread was hard and inside did not liquify and was also hard and crumbly. I'm assuming that these were frozen or refrigerated and they did not steam them long enough. I think microwaving them would have been better. We won't order this again. 2/5 Next time, we'll stick with the noodle rice rolls because that dish never disappoints!

    Didn't get the dim sum so I can only speak to the mains. The food from this place is from the Toisan region so not really my palate food-wise. Tried the porridge, salted fish and pork belly, veggies with garlic and Szechuan fish. I liked the flavor of the latter. Service is a bit slow and the place is intimate.

    Pho

    Would I eat here again if back in the neighborhood and seeking a reliable Pho spot? Probably. Would I come all the way to the Sunset for this (from downtown)? Probably not. Stopped by here for a quick Sunday lunch. Got seated immediately without a wait, restaurant was pretty full. The waiter did stop by a little too quickly after we sat down, but otherwise was very friendly and pleasant (I'm not Vietnamese but yes Asian). Started with an order of the Banh Khot (we actually ordered Banh Cuon, but guess he might have heard us wrong), decent! It was a little bit doughier than some others I've tried, but still good. I personally got the Pho as my entree - generous portions with plenty of sliced beef and beef balls (a custom combo). Thought it was quite good, but definitely one of those meals that leave you a bit thirsty after. Would advise against getting the Viet coffee unless you love your coffee extremely sweet, but otherwise reliable neighborhood spot!

    Ever since Yelp came out with a photo contest, I'm less inclined to take pictures? Not good enough? Or have people already catched that beautiful photo? Or i'm too hungry to care. Probably the latter. You got to try the fish bone claypot. Fried and stewed in clay pot with tofu. Dish for 3 people. Crunch your way to the fish bones, and the tofu will melt in your mouth. So much flavor, of course, garlic. Tiny cabbage, but not enough. Tiny gravy. Also, I had bittermelon wrapped in rice noodle. It's an acquired taste with bittermelon. Stick to getting a whole plate of bittermelon. the fried dim sum (ham siu gok) that is light beige color really hit the hungry spot. So fresh. Cash only. Be brave , try the fish bone with tofu. There is lots of fish meat. I just emphasize tasting the crunchy fried bones. You won't regret it. Also had the rice noodle with chicken. Just watch what the seniors eat and copy them. They know what's good. This place is so affordable and good. For the price we pay we get two meals and leftovers. Tea is $1 per person but it is real tea leaves not that tea bag thing. The service was great. You scream in cantonese, and they listen. Go for the food. They are busy and sorry this is not the michelin service.

    This is what we were looking for - an old-school dim sum place. This place can be a little intimidating for tourists and those not used to the ways of Chinatown, but get yourself over to this place (next to the former New Asia/Asia Garden that has now been converted into a market). 90% of the clientele are old folks from Chinatown, but we managed to grab a table. Interesting that the chairs have these fancy covers - something tells me they got them when New Asia closed next door. They have a limited dim sum menu, but you just need to ask for some of your favorites and they'll get it for you if they make it. We ordered lots of dishes for the four of us and it was $74 total! We added a few more dishes after we initially ordered and the waitress had a recommendation or two as well. The real slice of Chinatown was one table that broke out a bottle of Jameson Irish Whisky (full-size fifth) and a table that had a compact Hennesey bottle (clearly had been refilled before). There was also the table of 5 old guys in the back who were just shooting the bull - no food in sight. Definitely a slice of Chinatown and we really enjoyed it.

    Incredible food! We had the lemon chicken, BBQ pork buns, shrimp dumplings, siu mai, and deep fried sesame balls. all were delicious and the service was prompt. despite being english-speakers in the heart of chinatown we were met with patient wait staff. if you're looking for dim sum in SF this is the place! note: cash only!!!

    After a long day at the California Academy of Science, my family wanted hot noodle soup and came upon this place. It is a quaint little restaurant with a bunch of locals eating. The atmosphere is very casual pho restaurant. Service was excellent. Our sever was attentive and very helpful. Pho Dac Biet was good. A little sweet so not quite traditional for my taste buds. Chicken pho was good too. The salt and pepper wings were tasty. They had other tasty options that I did not try. Maybe next time. Recommend for a quick fix of Vietnamese food.

    2 kinds of gravy fried rice. Or yin yang fried rice. $11.70
    Benita M.

    Looking at the dim sum, price isn't too bad. There is not a lot of selections but it's all under $3. I ordered a 2 kinds of gravy fried rice, or yin yang fried rice $11.70. Expensive and not worth my money. It was SO nasty. Their recipe is not like other places. Their white side was an eggy substance. It was bearable. The other side was some ginger mixed weird taste. Ugh so disgusting. Never coming here again. Ok maybe to try their dimsum but that's it...

    Pan Fried Beef Crispy Noodle
    Steven L.

    Context: Visiting SF, ate tons of Chinese Food before. We only went in because they had my favorite item. I came into the shop and then read the reviews, so I was somewhat worried. I ordered Pan Fried Beef Crispy Noodles and my mom, the House Seafood Rice Noodle and nothing else besides Jasmine Tea. These 2 dishes were ENORMOUS and freaking delicious!! I don't know about the other reviews, but these 2 were not very greasy at all. They didn't skimp out on ingredients either! Tons of beef veggies, noodle, and tons of fish for the dishes. They were extremely delicious. If I ever return to SF and around Chinatown, I'll definitely come back here. For the quality and quantity that I had, even price felt very fair.

The staff were friendly and super prompt about clearing empty plates and refilling our tea whenever we signaled it was done, which is always great as the dishes just get on coming! We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, and several really stood out. The spicy tendon was fantastic, shredded paper thin and swimming in a classic spicy sauce. The spicy lamb dumplings were another highlight, with an incredibly thin wrapper and a super flavorful and not gamey at all lamb filling. I also loved the stir fried rice cakes, which were sliced thin enough to avoid that overly chewy texture, and the stir fried noodles Shanghai style were classic and simple in the best way, with big chunks of cabbage and meat and just executed really (the chefs clearly have some serious wok skills!). Not everything we ordered was an absolute knockout as the vegetable dishes could use a bit more flavor and seasoning, but everything overall was good, and the portions across the board were very generous. The desserts were a last-minute decision and I am so glad we went for them. The lava custard buns were fluffy and amazing, with a molten salted egg custard inside, and the sesame balls had a satisfyingly crispy exterior that gave way to a perfectly chewy interior and sweet red bean filling. The value here is also excellent. We left absolutely stuffed and spent around $30 per person, which felt like a great deal for how much food we got and how much we enjoyed it. Highly recommend!

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.

I walked into the restaurant about 45 minutes before closing time at 9:30 PM and several other diners came in after I was seated. The unsettled weather made the people hungry for dumplings. Bao is warm and woody and serene on the inside, a great counterpoint to the bustle of Valencia at every hour. Upon entering there is a large window looking on to the kitchen prep area where culinary experts are often at work constructing the food diners later enjoy on their plates. Tonight a couple of wizards were in the process of making chicken potstickers. Even being vegetarian, just seeing how the dumplings and other items are made is like seeing secrets being shared. I love it and it sets the vibe for the restaurant. My order consisted of the steamed vegetarian buns and sautéed string beans. The buns come out beautifully presented and taste even better: the bun itself is just slightly sweet and that sweetness adds an amazing dimension to the chopped fresh vegetables inside. Can't tell you what any of these veggies are individually and I don't care, they are so good. Next came the sautéed string beans and the sear on the beans themselves was perfect and smoky and delicious. The crispness of the sautee makes the string beans a lovely pairing with the soft yummy of the steamed buns. Last came the sesame balls as a sweet meal ending. I love donuts and fresh-made sesame balls are similar to a donut hole just with a filling that is actually food and so sweetly tasty. The outer fry was crisp and the insides absolutely perfect. Three dishes, all fantastic, and I walk home happy and thankful to Bao for a great simple meal!

The baked bbq pork buns are sweet with a decent amount of filling. The deep fried dumpling is plump, juicy, and crunchy. The shrimp and chive dumplings are my favorite. It's full of shrimp with a slightly thicker skin, which I think adds a nice chewiness. The veggie egg rolls were okay. I personally wouldn't order those, even if I was craving them. The spare ribs had a really nice savory flavor from the sauce. The egg tarts were okay. I need to note that these bags are leftovers from the day, so they're not as fresh. But they held up the next day so I was able to stretch 2 meals out of them. I can't comment on service since these bags are only for pick up. But they quickly provide the bags once the window open. And it's a small space, with maybe 2 tables. So this place is probably best for to-go orders. Their 2g2g bags have more variety than their Chinatown location. Not sure how many dim sum options there are in the Mission, but I would go here if I was in the area and craving a shrimp and chive dumpling.
