D & A Cafe in San Francisco

Really good Chinese food. Got the four dishes and rice and soup combo and fed the whole family. The soup of the day was amazing. All of the food was a great deal and will keep us well fed for generations. I especially enjoyed the chow fen. Will definitely be going back again to get more of this delicious and cheap food!

Takeout 5/9/2021. I was at another restaurant trying to do takeout on Mothers day and their kitchen was backed up for two hours. Luckily D&A Cafe saved the day. My meal was ready in 15 mins after I ordered in person. Tonight we had the mothers day lobster special, pea shoots, baked seafood spaghetti, salt pepper spareribs, squid and it came with rice and soup. The staff did an excellent job anticipating the mothers day rush and got everyones takeout orders in and out as humanly fast as possible. It takes a seasoned chef to get orders out that fast and for it to taste reasonably well. I like how they poked holes in the to-go container on the salt pepper spareribs so it didnt get soggy when I got it home. The lobster, pea shoots and baked seafood spaghetti tasted alright. The salt pepper spareribs and squid were only meh. The included soup was a good appetizer. Good job D&A Cafe!

Ordered Shrimp Chow Mein, huge portion for $12.95, and Chicken Steak in mushroom sauce - this was a totally deboned leg/thigh quarter with bbq sauce and sautéed mushrooms. Both super tasty. Took home 2/3 of the former and over 1/2 of the latter. I would definitely recommend.

The service provided by the waiters was disappointing as they seemed to lack seriousness and attention towards taking care of the customers. On multiple occasions, my family and I felt ignored as they failed to fulfill simple tasks such as providing menus and taking our orders promptly. Overall, our experience was not pleasant.However, the food is good.

Delicious, authentic Chinese food from multiple regions of China on the menu, along with outliers like spaghetti and french fries. Its pricy for Chinese food, but well priced for the neighborhood its in. At least to me, it feels more like a diner than a cafe. The food doesnt always look the best though.

Good food, Happy Hour discount prices, fresh drinks. Great for the whole family. The lobster is my favorite with a Taro drink(w/wo tapioca). Not sure how 2 pictures from 6th Avenue Aquarium got mixed up here, cant delete them but they have a great selection of aquarium supplies and fish. We always go there after we finish our meal here.

Late night cheap eatery. Neighborhood go to. 3 pm to 6 om chicken chow fun ($8.95) with lots of chicken. If you do the dinner, 3 items for $32 then you get complimentary soup. Fried chicken wings=yum

Huge menu with tons of options. Good food and big portions. Very friendly and happy staff, and a happy genuine vibe to everything. Had the Borsch soup, clams and the lobster. Will definitely be back to enjoy more flavors. Yummy.

Hole in the Wall Chinese Restaurant but if you want deals, they got deals! Its not cheap to eat in SF and im happy places like this still exist in this city for people that dont make 6 figures that live here. Food is good quality and on par with most regular Chinese restaurants. Don’t compare this place to high end Chinese restaurants. If you want 5 Star dining experience go to China Live and pay $25 for some Fried Rice. I love their 3 or 4 items deals and their Baked dishes (chicken, beef, seafood). I literally think this place has the best bang for your buck in SF as portions are not small either.

Questionable hygiene. After drinking half the tea, I notice the inside of the tea cup had a dark brown ring all the way around! Obviously the cup was never properly cleaned.
