Their dim sum doesn't have a great presentation, but pretty tasty & affordable . Opens late , delivers , and fast. Avoid the Shanghai dumplings , though.
Dear Foursquare - thank you for recommending the meatless sesame chicken . Holy awesome!
Best veg dim sum in San Francisco. Get the bbq pork bun , chicken and chive dumplings , and any of the thousand fake meat dishes
Everything here is good. I honestly don't understand the low 7 rating. There food is fantastic, especially the dim sum and delivery is accurate and fast.
Come in. Sit down. Order. Wait 5 min. Eat. Laugh at everyone else in the Mission on a Saturday night.
Mandarin Combo Clay Pot was good. Pineapple fried rice to go with the clay pot = perfect. General Tofu was crispy and a bit sweet = alright.
Vegan cheese maker Miyoko Schinner says this is the "biggest vegan dim sum menu EVER"
String beans & smoked pork . General meatless chicken . Cheap and fantastic.
THE BEST cheap dim sum that delivers and amazing chow mein . Have not had anything bad from here ever!!
Tea-flavored chicken is flavorful and spicy , but also very salty (be warned!)
Get the meatless chicken . Yum.
"it's so good I just wanna yell" is what my friend just said. get the sesame meatless chicken , dudes.
Pineapple fried rice with BBQ pork is delicious.
The vegan dim sum is incredible! Get the turnip bun , taro puff & turnip cake
Chow mein is so good here. That smoky pan fried essence is wonderful
The lunch specials are crazy cheap and filling!
My staples: ginger onion broccoli , chow fun , Singapore noodles , wonton soup .
Be careful if you're ordering delivery on a Sunday night. 45 minute quote is usually 2 hours and the food arrives cold. If you order at least 2 entrees, ask for free fried rice or chow mein .
Delicious vegan Chinese
If you plan on ordering to-go, call in your order first. Otherwise, you'll be waiting for awhile. Spent most of my lunch break waiting.
Okay food. Perfect for midnight hangover prevention cure
Stick to the hits. The Sesame Chicken really is great but straying too far from that has yielded disappointing results.
Avoid the sesame beef . It's some weird, hard and crumbly meat product!
Do not order several dishes unless you wanna explode! Quantities are just ridiculous, and quality just barely average...
Cold egg custard !
The sesame meatless (vegan ) is one of the best Asian meat-substitutes around.
Try their spicy fried rice and hot and sour soup . Great if you like a little burn with your food.
Generals chicken . Spicy goodness.
Big Disappointment. Don't go. Gross shrimp Gritty and mealy.General Tso's chicken like bricks.Fried rice terrible. Sauces Gross. Should have known when we walked in and there were Zero people there.
Vegetarian dim sum
It's a Chinese restaurant with no Chinese menus... what does that tell you..
Go and try some of the Chinese vegetarian dishes .
Garlic pea shoots are delish. Also they have vegetarian dim sum !
Curry puff w meatless chicken !!!
Ordered meatless sesame chicken by accident, hooked ever since
I love the meatless Gen. Tso Chicken and sauteed string beans here.
Chicken and black bean sauce !
The dumplings were greasy and tasteless.
the general meatless chicken will change your life.
Szechuan style dishes worth a go
Since you're here, why not checkout Ben R.'s tip. Hella tight!
The sesame chicken is bomb.
The food is mediocre AF. Please skip.
The Crispy Chicken is mighty tasty.
It was pretty okay; the food was sweeter than I like a food. To be.
Try the tiki pork belly and the breakfast fried rice which is new on the menu! - Alisson Xavier
Order the Ma pao tofu and chicken fried rice. They are both delicious. - Marisa Millard
Amazing!!!! Great lunch deal with ample portions....best General Tso's chicken ever. Light, flaky and crispy batter - Matt Soltesz
Cozy, inviting and unpretentious. Perhaps one of the few places uninvaded by bros. - Owen Williams
Awesome drinks (beer) and quite solid food options. The beer garden is just a great place to hang out on a Saturday (or any other). - Stephan Gensch
