I tried Salt & Pepper Shrimp and it was awesome.

I have read the other reviews and seen YouTube videos—honestly no idea why people say the staff is rude. As a small, timid person I found the ladies to be super nice and service to be fast.
Had the BBQ pork flat rice noodle and minced pork porridge: absolutely delicious! So fresh and tender it was, broke as I held it between chopsticks and meat/sauce was delicious! Portions were even bigger than I expected.

Honestly, they have one of the worst service out of all the Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area (second only to yin du). The waitresses always look quite annoyed….However, the food is great and reasonably priced! And frankly, that’s what I care about the most.
I’d recommend just ordering the Cheung fun (rice noodles). I’d stay away from the shrimp ones though. The shrimps are not the best.. The non-Cheung-fun dishes are ok…

The food portion is good!
The service is as fast as they can do.
The Lady here is friendly and nice to us.
Recommend to order: garlic pepper shrimp & sweet and sour pork with rice

God knows how much I like this restaurant! We spent only $20.5 for two rice plates. Both are delicious and with huge serving size. Service was alright.

Love the well meaning patrons who will sit at my table unannounced and smoke a cigarette without asking permission. I really do love the smell of second hand smoke. I love their location on Waverly street under the Chinese festoons and red lanterns!. Food is authentic street food that I experienced during my decade as expat in Asia. I go for vegetables and tofu over rice and oolong tea. Service is matter of fact , indifferent but never rude.

The food was fantastic. We orders the veggie beef crispy noodles, lemon citrusy chicken, and garlic chicken wings.
The prices were good and it all tasted excellent. It wasn’t very busy and the people coming in were mostly locals so you know it’s good.

Cheung fun and ice lemon tea is 10/10 but fried beef noodle is average. Will definitely come back for the cheung fun 🤩

The rice noodles were phenomenal. The best in the area! Definitely worth a visit

Came here twice during my trip to SF, it tastes just like what I had in my Hometown. Only thing that can be better is the menu abundancy, not enough choices if you want to try something new.
