Mission Chinese Food

Thrice cooked bacon , mapo tofu and the Chow mein are all really good. I wish they brought the squid ink noodles back.

The best Chinese food hands down. Get everything so spicy you can't feel your lips. Thrice cooked bacon , Kung pao pastrami , ma pao tofu makes a perfect meal for two.

The original Mission Chinese. The decor is absurd and the vibe is Blade Runner meets hole in the wall dumpling place. Always easier to get a table around 9. Try the wings , if you can handle the ????

Went for the experience more so than the food itself, though I was pleasantly surprised that it was also pretty good. A bit jarring to be eating under disco lights and house music , but fun overall.

Thrice cooked bacon and cumin lamb ribs are awesome! Better food and shorter wait than the one in NYC.

I was skeptical, but this place is actually delicious. Chinese fusion with more Chinese than fusion. Pork belly , ribs , and ma po tofu (over crab !) were favorites. Green beans also had a nice kick.

What's not good here? Love the thrice cooked bacon , beef brisket & broccoli , egg-egg noodles , squid ink noodles , shrimp pea dumplings and basically everything else. Toss it down with a few Tsing Taos.

Fantastic, tasty and tongue numbing! Pickled cucumber , kimchi and beijing greens were great..fried chicken with vinegar dip was amazing! Not your typical SF Chinese. Mission, grungy decor!

Egg egg noodle has a tasty and unique flavor! I will eat it again! MaPo Tofu was good but on the salty side. Balance of texture between the tofu and the mushrooms were really good!!

Unique take on Sichuan Chinese food with dishes like kung pao pastrami and thrice-cooked bacon . Both are excellent and spicy . Don't miss the tiki pork belly or the chicken wings !

Festive and flavorful Chinese restaurant in the Mission. The pork belly , salt cod fried rice and ma po tofu are excellent.

The thrice cooked rice cakes with bacon and Taiwanese eggplant can’t be missed!

Get the thrice cooked bacon here! One of the few restaurants opened in Mission District late at night

On the salty side. Favorites include the rice cake dish and peanut noodles . Vegans beware: there is butter in the corn dish.

Tea smoked eel . Tiki pork belly . Chongqing chix wings . Thrice cooked bacon & rice cakes . Gen Tso's veal rib . Westlake rice porridge . Salt cod fried rice . Fresh squid ink noodle . Mongolian long beans .

Specialties: Salt cod fried rice ; warm egg custard ; Westlake porridge ; sizzling cumin lamb ; kung pao pastrami ; ma po tofu ; thrice-cooked bacon . Read more

LOVED THIS PLACE. Ma po tofu was good (a lil hyped) but the Thrice Cooked Bacon ?! WOW. Well deserved hype. So glad we ordered. Unassuming front, got inside and it was full. Best meal of my vacation.

Despite the hour-long wait, the food is worth it. Founding chef Danny Bowien calls his cuisine “Americanized Chinese food ”; think fiery kung pao pastrami and a cardamom-laced beef brisket soup .

The mapo tofu is my favorite. Order as many dishes as you can for family style , they're all awesome and most of them have Sichuan peppercorn . Delicious.

Plays on the pop-up idea but is in an actual restaurant—Lung Shan. It becomes Mission Street Food for most of the week and serves classic Chinese recipes and some of chef Danny’s own creations.

Absolutely order the fried chicken with the tangy , vinegary sauce that accompanies it ????????Easily some of the best in SF.

Everything is good. Squid ink noodles delicious. Tiki pork belly crisped outside tender inside to perfection. Tea-smoked eel mix of textures amazing.

UNF. Get the pork belly , veal ribs , and thrice cooked pork ! My company really enjoyed the cumin lamb as well .

The dishes served here are simply amazing! I highly recommend the Chicken Wings with Explosive Chili Pepper , the Sizzling Cumin Lamb and the Ma Po Tofu .

Known for his spicy Sichuan dishes you can even get them delivered if you are in the right zone. The Ma Po Tofu is a must try! Read more

I was very drunk here but I said, "This is the best Chinese food of my life," at least 10 times. Hard to have a bad choice here, but Ma Po Tofu with pork stands out for me

This popular Chinese spot has an array of delicious choices including some signature ones like the salt cod fried rice , tea-smoked eel , and kung pao pastrami . Read more

The smoked tea eel is actually a roll, and a very awesome one at that. The mapo tofu is unique and one of the best ma po tofus I've had.

Perfect order for two people: Tiger Salad , Chongqing Chicken Wings , and Thrice Cooked Bacon and Rice Cakes . Great combination of flavors!

The thrice cooked bacon , general tso's veal rib , and salt cod fried rice are not to be missed. Also, the mix of 90s rap and Beatles/Hendrix/Queen is pretty unbeatable.

Everything was so good! But beware of the spice. Just one "fire" was a lot more spicy than I can handle. Next time I'll stick with the dishes with no "fire".

try as many things as you can - kung pao pastrami + brussels sprouts are must orders

Thrice Cooked Bacon is wonderful and superhot, the General Tso veal just melts in your mouth. The perfectly selected music help to make this a don't not miss location

The General Tso's veal rib is the kind of dish that's delicious enough to convince you to utterly compromise any vestige of dinner table etiquette you may have been foolishly maintaining until now.

I don't remember half of the names of our food but I remember that it was delicious as fck!!!! We had to close a table in advance because the place is almost always filled up.

the place everyone in SF talks about - get there early or go for lunch . the line usually fills up quick for dinner . I never waited bc my roomie was the chef haha

Ma po tofu , lamb , and thrice cooked bacon are fantastic. Chicken wings are way too salty, inedible by our entire group. Great place overall for food, ambiance, and music .

General Tso's Veal Rib is fantastic; fav dish was prob the Squid Ink Pasta with Lamb Chorizo . Wow.

Get there by 5pm for instant seating. Try the explosive chicken wings , the thrice cooked bacon , and the tiki pork belly . You will SO thank me.

Surprisingly the place takes reservations online, so plan ahead and skip the line .

Try crossing the studied, Sichuan-laced creations of a workhorse young chef with a kickback dive atmo pumped up by ghetto rap and a 60-foot dragon. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Portions are huge and food is really tasty. I love chow mein . The waiting line can be overwhelming. It's a really popular spot

Interesting combos: we loved the pastrami , green beans , and all the various fried rice . Best Chinese food I've ever had.

We had all vegetarian . Everything was full of flavor and outstanding.

Ate so much here: Tea smoked eel , mapo tofu , egg noodles , chongqing wings , and Sichuan pickles !!

This place stole my heart when I first heard the music , then I began to grub. The cumin lamb is fire!

Taiwanese Eggplant was amazing. Ma Po Tofu was great but very spicy

a very creative american take on chinese food , in a good way. but pastrami for instance is in things. and i highly recommend those thigns.

Easily the coolest place to eat. The tiki pork belly is to die for. You are going to want to put that spice on everything!!

Very very tasty. The salt cod fried rice is a must get. And their West Lake porridge is perfect for a sick day
