Solid 4/5 for me especially given the prices. Portions are not the biggest, but it's perfect if you aren't going with too many people or you're looking to try many different things. Prices are also very affordable, it ended up being around $13 per person and my group of 6 ordered many different dishes. They known for their rice rolls, which were soft chewy and delicious. However, I feel like they could've given us a little bit more meat especially the pork rice roll. The beef chow was solid the wonton noodle was nothing special and didn't impress me.

4.5/5 for me Great spot in Chinatown that is known for their cheung fun - rice noodle rolls. During this visit, we ordered their porridge, beef chow fun, wonton noodles, mapo tofu, and cheung fun. My top two were definitely the beef chow fun and cheung fun. I would skip on the wonton noodles next time. Walked by a couple times and it always seems decently busy. You may have to be persistent in calling them over when you need something or the check, but that's the only gripe with the service. Food and price wise this place is awesome! All of us came out stuffed and it was 13 per person with tip for 6 people.

Saw this place either on IG/Tiktok and added to my go to list when Im in SF. Came last year Oct 2023 for togo but they told me would take up to 45 mins to get my rice rolls order which is ridiculous, so I left.Came back to SF March 2024 and went after opening time like 30mins.The waitress was talking to other tables in Chinese in a good mood. I came in didn’t speak Chinese even tho I’m Asian and still received attitude.I was hungry. Otherwise Id long gone.Minimum $10 purchase for credit cardsI liked the shrimp rice roll. The congee was such a scam for almost $9.If you’re into bad service, long wait and scamming foods, you can check them out if you don’t trust me.

My hubby and I order fried rice with shrimp and eggrolls, it is delicious. The place is okay and staff from the kitchen are friendly when serving you the food.

I ordered two portions of rice rolls. The soy sauce was not good and the rice noodles were mediocre. After one bite, my child went on strike ??

Service was bad. Food was great. I’m conflicted. I had the Beef & egg chow fun and it was a TON of food for the price. Hope you like paper plates and plastic forks.

We had heard very good things about the food, but after finally tasting it, I will say that it is mediocre.

Love their chang fen (steamed rice noodle rolls). It's so soft and just melted in my mouth.Also recommend their egg beef chow fen and sweet and sour pork. They all come with huge portions and are very flavorful.

Their rice rolllssssss!! DROOLS!!! I always get the shrimp rice rolls and the bbq pork rice rolls. Eggs is a nice add on but for $2 is not worth

This is a good spot to eat at since they open at 8am and most restaurants don’t open until 10-11. They offer their whole menu not just certain items from open too! I see a lot of locals come and order their rice noodle rolls which it seems like they make it fresh when you order. I also like their beef chow fun, it had good wok hay.Yes they serve their food on paper plates and paper bowls but maybe their dish washer is broken lol. Honestly a good spot with reasonable prices and the food is good too.

This place was packed when we arrived. It has indoor and outdoor seating. It is famous for its rice roll.We were seated right away. There is not much room between on table to another and the place is not very bright.When I browse through the menu. I am puzzled. It is overwhelming because there are so many dishes on the menu. This restaurant serves cantonese/ Hong Kong style dihes. We ordered charsiu rice noofle and egg rice noodle, stir fry chinese flowering cauliflower, eggplant and salty fish claypot, and Singapore stiry fry rice noodle.All are served in paper plates. This place serves everything on paper plate and cup.The food is good and the price is reasonable. Itvis authentic chinese food and looks like the customers are mostly local. It is cash only.

Order something and called to make sure. The lady on the phone was very rude and told me pick it up way later because it is a Sat. So I went went an hour later, they said they didn't make the food. They forgot or something.
