Got the roast pork with gravy. It was good and the portion was generous. It reminds me of the Cantonese-style preserved pork of my youth. The steamed cabbage and broccoli that came with it was sour-smelling as if they were rotten so I didn't try my luck. But the combo of rice, roast pork and gravy was smackin. Update: I went back recently during the Chinatown night market and they preferred cash payment, closed at 8:30 pm( way before their posted 9:30pm close) and the steamed cabbage and broccoli were still rotten. But the roast pork and the oxtail were so good! Gotdammit!

I really like this place — it has a unique atmosphere. The food is tasty; don’t expect it to be exactly like in China, as it’s a bit Americanized, but still much better than many other places. Prices are reasonable for San Francisco, and portions are generous. I’ve been here a few times and tried several dishes, including sirloin steak, roast pork, and beef tongue — all were really good. I wanted to try the ribeye steak, but every time I asked for it at dinner, the lady said it was sold out. If you want it, you’ll need to come for lunch rather than dinner. A nice touch is that each meal comes with small extras: a side of soup, a single Chinese-style dumpling, and complimentary tea. The lady who works there is very official and a bit grumpy — she could smile more 🤪 — but overall, it’s a great place with a unique vibe, big portions, and fair prices.
