Literally my favorite restaurant in the entire world. I live in Chicago now but whenever I visit family in the Bay Area, I have to come here at least twice.Some of my favorite dishes: stinky tofu, beef noodle soup (best I’ve ever had), pork chops, and scallion pancake. But, I don’t think I’ve ever tried anything I haven’t liked here so would recommend you try everything!

Best stinky tofu in bay area. Every dishes are so good. Highly recommand. They only offer take out because of the COVID

It would be good if the stinky tofu is more crunchy and the portion of Taiwanese kimchi is more.

Food is great. Staffs are friendly.

Great chinese donuts with soy milk

Been eating here for 20 years, best place in the area for the type of Sunday brunch they offer, totally bummed about not getting to eat it one last time before moving out of the area

The food was amazing. Everything was great, except the person who answers the phone. She made us feel like she doesn’t want us to place the order every time we called. Her attitude will definitely drive customers away.

Super nice 老闆娘!Food is fast is amazing! Family business and a tight crew.Try the stinky tofu (best in the bay!), beef noodle soup, sausage fried rice is my wife’s favorite, fried spare ribs, string beans, three cup chicken. Also check out the breakfast menu egg crepe and soy milk.They speak Cantonese mandarin and English. Check it out! They won’t lose business if anything they have gained businesses since we first came here. Sorry if they’re not American enough and constantly ask for how your day is. ?

Thanksgiving night 2013. What a night for great company and more amazing food! Plus, no cleaning up afterwards! My Cosmo was served in a little bottle that was placed in a little wooden barrel filled with crushed ice...so cute! For appetizers, we had fresh oysters on the half shells and smoked salmon. Oysters, we were told, were Miyagi oysters and they were very fresh! The salmon was excellent! Did not know they smoke their own salmon either!

Best Taiwanese restaurant in the bay can we get one in sf too ?
