I've had this spot bookmarked for ages now and my boyfriend was able to snag a birthday…read morereservation!! Unless you're a party of 1, I highly, highly, recommend a reservation. While we were waiting for our table, we saw 2-3 couples get turned away. The restaurant is small, but the interior is well-decorated. It pays homage to HK posters, music, and culture. They offer two complimentary small bites of smashed cucumber and peanuts. - XO Escargot: a must order, the dish only comes with 6 pieces but it's so worth it. The sauce is garlicky, buttery, and each bite with the milk bread is so good. The bread also has a crispy outer layer while the inside is super soft. - Eggplant: at first, we thought the dish was good, but the pieces on the bottom that soaks up all the sauce makes the eggplant full of umami flavor. This paired so good with rice. - Mapo Tofu Spaghetti: just as you imagine, but very yummy. I wish there was more of a numbing spice personally! - Black Pepper Steak: The steak was cooked perfectly to medium rare and the sauce was very yummy. This dish did not blow me away like some of the others but was still good nonetheless. I really wished we could have try the Singapore Chili Crab, but that would have been too much food. Our server was also fantastic and so kind, I wish I caught her name. Will def be back!

Instagram will send your expectations soaring to the stars, but dining here will humble those…read moreexpectations. I loved that the restaurant teleports you to 90s Hong Kong from the posters to tunes. It's not the biggest restaurant so it feels a little tight and a line forms quickly out the door. Food was consistently ok and salty. We ordered the fried squab, black bean clams, green beans, etc. Portions run on the smaller side but the price goes in the other direction. Next time I'm around, you'll find me at R&G Lounge which is the uncontested king and a much more authentic showing of Cantonese food.

The kind of meal that makes you want to come back and order the same thing all over again…read more We had the wonton noodle soup with rice noodles, sauteed string beans, and salt and pepper chicken wings, and everything was delicious. The wontons were excellent with a nice amount of wrapper and a great texture. The pork and shrimp filling was juicy and tender, with a nice bite and snap from the shrimp. The broth was rich and savory and went perfectly with the wontons and rice noodles. The sauteed string beans were cooked just right with plenty of flavor and still had a nice bite to them. The salt and pepper chicken wings were another favorite. The skin was crispy, the batter was seasoned well, and the flavor went all the way through to the meat. The chicken was moist, juicy, and flavorful, and I really enjoyed all the toppings that came with the wings. Service was great. They took our order quickly and the food came out fast. The restaurant looked new, clean, and well kept. Everything hit the spot, and I would definitely come back again whenever I am in the area.

When the bill came out to a grand total of $16 out the door, I had to double-check the math! My mind was officially blown.Is it Michelin-star dining? No. But the taste is surprisingly solid, and for that price point, it is an absolute steal. Beyond the food, I fell in love with the authentic, no-frills vibe of the place. It is the perfect, straightforward spot to grab a quick, cheap bite when the craving hits. I am already planning my next visit! 說實話，點餐的時候我連看都沒看價格，一心只想嚐嚐他們的雲吞麵和燒鴨飯。結果結帳的時候，總共竟然只要$16！我當時都懷疑是不是算錯了，簡直驚呆了！要說這是什麼米其林頂級美味，那倒不至於，但味道確實挺不錯。就這個價格而言，性價比簡直絕了！除了食物，我還特別喜歡這家店原汁原味的市井煙火氣（地道氛圍）。如果你想隨便找個地方速戰速決、飽餐一頓，來這裡準沒錯。我已經決定下次還要再來！

Only one server was present for the entire place and she did a fantastic job! We ordered a bunch of things: roast pork, mangolian beef, Singapore noodles and kung pao chicken. Roast pork with rice was soo damn good! Everything was devoured but we all felt the Mangolian beef was onion forward. There was almost no beef present in the dish. Overall, even with the beef dish, we loved it. Grand total was $70 (including 20 percent tip).

We always see a long line outside of R & G and decided to make a reservation. We made a reservation…read morefor Monday 6:30pm but came early around 6pm because we thought the reservation was at 6pm. We got seated right away downstairs. Looks like most seating and take-out pickup is downstairs. We wanted a super light dinner because we were meeting friends from bar bites later so we ordered a vegetable chow fun ($24). The veggies were nice and crispy and the noodles had good flavor. Just wishing for some wok hei (if anyone has any recommendations in SF Chinatown, please let me know). We didn't get it but the nearby table got the popular salt and pepper crab and it looked plump. The menu says market price for that and a few other items (including lobster noodles) but we didn't ask what market price was. We took public transportation so can't comment on parking (but definitely recommend public transportation).

I have been going to this restaurant sparingly since 2014? or so. Totally overdue for a review…read more This used to be our favorite lunch spot for our work lunch gatherings before 2020. It's been a while since I've visited. Food was delicious as usual. Service was good, however ambience was much louder than I remembered in the downstairs dining area. If you go with 6 people or more, they put on 20% gratuities on top of 3% SF mandate. Shrinkflation is real!! Smaller portions now but more expensive than before : (. We ordered from the regular menu (not the lunch menu) but the plate was one round smaller than how I remembered. I like their Singapore noodles.

Came to pick up food to bring home. Our usual order can comprise of roast duck, roast pork, BBQ…read morepork, soy sauce chicken, and/or duck feet. When ordering the BBQ pork (char siu), I always ask for a leaner portion since I prefer it without too much fat. There wasn't much of a line this time--decades ago and even pre-pandemic, there was almost always a long wait during their busier times like during lunch and dinner hours. A relative of mine used to work here over 30 years ago, and I remember how nonstop and demanding it was. It was hardly a slow or relaxed environment. They also suggested adding mochi to my order. I passed this time, but I'll give it a try on my next visit. These days, there's a lot more competition along the Noriega corridor, which may explain the change in crowds. Still, it's nice to come back for the familiar Cantonese foods I grew up with and love.

Anytime family comes to visit I'd always get them bbq from here and has always been happy about it but the other day I was excited to introduce this place to a friend so I bought a duck and brought it back to the house just to find out they gave me a old duck. I can tell because the meat was tough, chewy and dried. Never have I ever had any issues here but last week was a huge disappointment for me and trust issue has gone out the window. If you go here just make sure to keep an eye out when they're selecting your duck and make sure to check the quality of your meats before you leave. There was no way I could go back to get a refund, by the time we had dinner they've already closed. Boo! Just giving heads up to anyone going here and hopefully the owners will see this.

Clay pot, a classic Hong Kong dish, is a feature here in the heart of Chinatown - a welcomed…read moreexperience for the uninitiated and an excellent callback to a traditional staple. Situated on the second floor, Hong Kong Clay Pot Restaurant, is elevated above the rest, literally and figuratively with their quality of food and service, high churn and freshness, and comfort in dining space. Upon climbing the carpeted steps up to the restaurant, we were greeted by the staff and were seated by the window. Despite being located in a building with no air conditioning, the heat doesn't linger much here when the windows are open feeding in the fresh bay air. Furthermore, the spacing between tables is efficient allowing them to pack tables for large and small groups alike but still have enough room to eat comfortably. We were given menus and offered tea and waters to get us started. The menu is quite extensive beyond clay pot dishes as it includes many popular favorites typical of Chinese restaurants (noodle and rice dishes, chicken/beef/pork, and veggies) but also eclectic options like frog legs. For those looking to quench a thirst, they have soft drinks out of cans, bottled juices, beers, and wines. The menu is full of pictures so you'll get a nice visual of what you'll expect to feast on. Naturally, we got a few things as were famished from the day full of adventure. Salt & Pepper Frog - these crispy and meaty bits are lips smacking good; they're great starters for the meal as well as an introduction to some exotic food Snow Pea Sprouts with Garlic - cooked really well with large chunks of garlic. Seasoned well but it does have a bit more oil than your typical home cooking - so delicious though! Dried Bean Curd Lamb Clay Pot - protein rich dish with succulent chunks of lamb and tofu slathered in a sauce in search of a bowl of rice to pair with. Just one of these can easily feed two! Beef Stew Clay Pot with Bean Curd & Mushroom - juicy pieces of beef and braised tofu and mushrooms hit home with a nice balance of protein and veggies. This hearty dish will fill you up. Steamed rice - nothing special, but it does cost extra and doesn't come with any of the clay pots. You're going to want some so make sure you get a bowl or two. The service is exceptional here compared with other sit downs of this caliber in Chinatown. The staff members are personable, quick to serve and refill beverages, and accessible when the need arises. It does get busy here so the small staff may have trouble during rushes. Given the older building, naturally the small bathroom is expected. Surprisingly though, they have free WiFi here so I suppose for those looking for a pit stop in your city trek to regroup or for the locals looking to camp a bit for work, you've come to a great place to grab a bite too! Overall, Hong Kong Clay Pot represents the Hong Kong cuisine exceptionally well and is accessible, affordable, and delicious. The menu covers a variety of items and will be sure to satisfy everyone in your party. Everything is made fresh and is balanced in flavor, texture, and nutrition. Tourist or local, you'll be welcomed with hospitality. Each meal is meant for family style and will be sure to fill each stomach up while encouraging community building during your dining experience. Get a taste of Hong Kong simply by stepping foot into San Francisco Chinatown!

We ordered : - Braised beef wonton noodle soup : noodles had that perfect springy bite, the broth was light , well seasoned & comforting. The braised beef was melt in your mouth tender, and the wontons were fresh, plump, and juicy. Everything was on point. - Fish porridge : I appreciate that the congee is not too soupy/ watered down. It was hearty and fish was delicately cooked just right, not dry or rubbery like some places. - Curry fish balls with pork rind : Good side dish, nicely seasoned with a spicy kick which we loved. Parking was relatively easy, there's metered spots across the street. Service was fast & efficient, the aunty who served us was super friendly and on top of everything. The interior is clean and comfy with a chill, welcoming vibe. Definitely planning to return, especially for another bowl of that beef noodle soup!
