Ox tail hot pot here is so comforting and delicious! The boss lady is super nice too, she let me order the lamb version of this on a previous visit even though it was no longer a part of the menu :)(note: the dish came with more oxtail and tofu. I took the pic after eating a bit)

I loved Papa and his Chinese delights! Got seated right away and the food was fast, fresh, delicious, and worth the money. The service was friendly and attentive. Go here and enjoy!

Do not order the orange chicken. I love garlic but the flavour doesn’t go with orange chicken, especially when you have so much of it. The pieces of garlic were crazy big and crunchy. Good if it has been a garlic chicken, minus the orange. The chicken was also nice white meat but it was dry.On the other hand the basil chicken was good and came with lots of veggies.I thought the veggie spring rolls were going to be fresh but they were fried. For fried, not my favourite but they’ll hit the spot if you’re in the mood.

Great Chinese restaurant that exceeded our expectations. The Chinese fried noodle (combo) was our favorite, with the salt and pepper fish fillet a close second. The owners were very nice as well.

So me and my partner loved this place when it was a Thai restaurant! It was great. Now that we came back and tried the shrimp and spare ribs dishes, its too salty. I really couldnt enjoy it ... only thing we liked was the Fried Rice and I feel bad for leaving such a review:(Honestly would appreciate the thai dishes coming back with way less salt.

Fantastic fusion Asian food eatery with a modern twist. It serves traditional Chinese rice dishes to Vietnamese pho and South Eastern Asian cuisines. Tried its fish fillet with black bean over rice and it was 🎉😋. Modern, clean, inviting decor. It gets quite busy so a little wait time might be expected😬. The waitress was serving all tables by herself during lunch even we came in, quite impressive. If you are in the neighborhood, you need to give it a try 🥳🙌🤩🍜

Pork chops and bbq chicken where so good!! Cute clean friendly atmosphere here. The lady was nice enough to have the cook cut our meat since we were gonna share with our son. She even packed our leftover. Thanks for making our night 😊

This restaurant has become my favorite Asian restaurant!! The quality of the food is excellent and the flavors are amazing!I am vegan and also allergic to seafood, and they are able to accommodate my dietary needs and still offer quite a variety of dishes. I recently took a friend there for lunch, who is gluten intolerant, and they were able to offer her many gluten-free options.The main Chef is Vietnamese, so some of the dishes have a Vietnamese slant, which adds a nice touch. The vegetable spring rolls, the string beans, and the eggplant dishes are some of my favorite. I eat here regularly, and the food is consistently fresh, well prepared, and delicious!! The service has also been consistently good. I have observed families with children who also appear to really enjoy their food. I definitely recommend this restaurant!!

Exceptional! Have been to dozens of Asian restaurants around the city and this is an absolute standout. The lemongrass beef and garlic noodles, green beans, eggplant are all some of the best Ive ever had.

Really high quality food for a very good price. I was surprise that both their Chinese and Vietnamese menu items are equally good, better than a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in the city. The chefs here are very talented. Only wish they had more vegetarian dishes

Our group of four had lunch here and it was amazing. We ordered a bunch of different options (e.g pork buns, creamy honey shrimp, pho, chicken fried rice, etc). Everyone not only enjoyed their meal but also left full. Highly recommend checking it out if youre even remotely close to the area.

At last, great Chinese/Vietnamese food in the upper Haight. We ordered a mix of this and that: crispy fried wontons were tasty and shrimp dumpling was full of flavor. Hot n Sour soup is often my personal Chinese food barometer and they knocked it out of the park. (No need to add rice vinegar) And finally, the hot pepper condiment was HOT in the best way possible. Oh… and the garlic was SO full of flavor, perfectly cooked, not limp or too crunchy.

A warm welcome to our newest Haight Street eatery. The flavors are outstanding and there are several vegetarian options. The eggplant, green beans and vegetable chow mein are some of our favorites. Fiona and Robert made this dining experience even more rewarding.

Food was okay, but not seasoned enough. The benches were hard and uncomfortable. You could season it yourself. Staff hypothermic. In the end we had to pay $1 more per dish, we dont know why.
