Food was really good at a very good price (3 large plates for $38). Really enjoyed their rockcod in a blackbean sauce. My mom said the bathroom was very clean. Street parking only.Parking: Free street parking on Sunday.

I tried couple of times in this place. First time was so so. Not good, but also ok given the low expectations from their price.But my second time was really bad. At that day, there were only two tables occupied by customers when we got in. I thought it was a slow day and would get a good service. But I was wrong.After ordering the food, we didn’t not get anything until I asked them why. Usually you would get the complimentary soup right away. But obviously the waitress forgot it. I was so hungry at that time and expected a sorry from the waitress following the soup. But I was wrong again. She didn’t bring the soup. Instead, she fighting back against me and claiming the restaurant was too busy. Are you kidding? Two tables with 5 people in total is too busy?Message to the owner: if you are satisfied with only two tables per day, please remove rest of tables from your restaurant.

Rude. Exceptionally rude. I go to the restaurant with the intent to make a takeout order. Right through the door, I was not greeted. I know what these neighborhood restaurants are, and never expect warm greetings. At the very least, ask 'Hello. How may I help you' when I step through the door. That is be all hospitality I expect. Instead, the waitress looks at me like I don't belong, and scowls at me. Ok, whatever. I ask for the the menu. And while picking out a few dishe, the waitress, continues with the rude looks from a few feet away. Like, what did I do to you? So, I picked out a few dishes, asked for thr order to be taken. She stands in place. Just stands there. Still mean mugging me, like she doesn't want to my bisiness or take my order. This is no way to treat people. That is no way to run a business. I will not be going back.

DO NOT EVER EAT HERE! They have WORMS in their food! So GROSS! And they had the audacity to argue back and say they were only going to refund the noodle plate. NEVER COMING BACK HERE AGAIN!

I take my 76 year old mother and 51 years old mentally disabled sister here. They enjoy the claypot rice here very much. A true hidden gem. If you are Toishan and looking for a good place to get delicious food, look no further.We ordered spareribs clay pot rice chicken and Chinese sausage clay pot rice and they served complimentary lotus root and peanut soup.My mom taught me her Claypot etiquette: as soon as the pot arrives, mix the rice and remember to scoop and mix everything from the bottom of the pot including mixing the crunchy rice with rest and last, serve into a bowl

Came for the clay pot rice. Please know that the "special bacon" is just fatty pieces that flavor the rice, no meat. It also had Chinese sausage but no vegetables. The other plates were pea shoots, beef chow fun, honey walnut shrimps, and salt and pepper tofu that were amazingly delicious. Will definitely come back.

Just had lunch here while waiting for my car to be done with Toyota across the street. Had the Mongolian beef which wasn't that bad at all. Good potion for $10.50. Ordered 5 other dishes to go for the wife and kids. All came out to just under $80 with tax. Waitress was pretty nice as well. Would definitely come back again.
I was looking for a place to eat before an appointment at Kaiser on 6 Avenue, I walked several blocks on the Kaiser side and came back the opposite side because I didn’t like the restaurants on that side, on my way back to Kaiser I crossed the street to see if there was anything appealing and happened to see this Chinese restaurant with peoplecoming in and out. I decided to give it a try, I satmyself and went and got a menu to see the items, it took a few minutes for service to arrive, I finally got a pot of hot tea and I ordered The Shrimp with Scrambled Eggs over Rice. I was patiently waiting because I happened to look at a table in the middle of the back area completely full with meals to go, (lunch time in the area) the food smelled was pleasant. I got up to get water at a self served area. When I finally got my order I was happy with the rice, it was the right structure, perfectly cooked with a nice aroma and taste, the eggs with scrambled eggs perfectly complimented each other. I was happy with the meal and understanding of the waiting time because the underwhelming amount of orders to go, the staff was pleasant and efficient making sure everyone got the right order.

Located on Geary Blvd near 4th Avenue in the Richmond District San Francisco.The owner is very nice. Unfortunately the wait staff could use some customer service training.What we ordered:1.) Winter Melon Soup not bad could use a bit more seasoning.2.) Ginger Chicken. The waitress messed this up by putting a Gravy over the chicken which is not what we wanted. Tasted ok chicken was right…3.) Beef Chow Fun this was very good beef was tender.4.) Fried pork spareribs this was not bad.5.) Seafood Tofu Clay Pot again this was not prepared the way it was ordered. So did not great tasting.6.) Pea spouts in ginger garlic. The taste was good but the sprouts were chewy.

I was very disappointed at the food and presentation. Ten years ago the food and ambiance was much better. The place was much cleaner then. The place today was dirty and the table needs a good cleaning to it. We had the tomato beef chow mein and singapore stir fry noodles. The food was mediocre at best. Ten years ago this place was much better than today. Maybe new owners in recent years? Took this place off my list to go for a good meal.

best clay pot! must try if you want some good chinese clay pot rice. I usually get the braised tofu with fish clay pot and any of the clay pots in a size large is the perfect combo. Staff is super friendly and they usually include some soup. There is always room to bring a big party or just a couple friends.
