First day in San Francisco and we came here to try their wonderful food. We started with some fried potstickers in peanut sauce and egg rolls. They were both fried to perfection and delicious (peanut sauce is so good). Next we moved onto their house noodles with shrimp and sesame chicken with sweet potato. Both of those delicious were full of fresh flavor. I really loved both and they were a perfect pair. Highly recommend this restaurant for their yummy food and good, fast service. The lines move quick here, so have no worries!

Popular tourist spot . Owner, Peter Fang was there and took our order. He is very nice and asked us how our food was. He even took a picture with us. The restaurant is very cozy so lot of boxes and materials on the side. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

I came here because a friend recommended this place and there was a pretty big line so I was expecting a lot more. The outside seating is very nice but I feel as if the heaters could be turned on until later at night. The chicken was okay, kinda like any other sesame chicken (I’ve had better). The fried rice was really good! It was my favorite. And then the chow mein was disappointing. The servers didn’t even say a word to us but I guess that’s how asian restaurants typically are.

First time here in a few years. Food is still excellent. One reviewer complained about small portions. That’s insane. See pic of the Sesame Chicken house special and what I had leftover. One entree could easily feed two people, especially with a shared appetizer.

A lot of hype over this place, and I finally want him and I really didn’t enjoy it as much as my friends that I guess. Beyond fried with all the dishes, friendly service, even the famous sesame chicken was really crispy and not enough hunks of meat. Atmosphere and servers were great, I just didn’t think the food was all that I had heard about. House noodles for over $15 is a bit steep as well. They were over cooked 🙁

A lot of History and a tourist hotspot! Food does look amazing but what we ordered was simply not good/fresh. First few bites and could tell it was not the freshest they had esp. the seafood dish with calamari was intolerably smelly! Its first bite just made my appetite dead! Might visit here and try some other specialities but would avoid their seafood items.

Some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had!!! The food was plentiful. We came at the right time and walked right in. There was a line to get in as we were leaving. I would definitely return.

It was our first day in San Francisco and came here since it was close to our hotel. My friend and I read the review but of course we had to come to try for ourselves. Good thing we got there before the line! (I did not think it was that popular LOL) The portions were perfect to share and the food was delicious. We ordered the Honey Shrimp and Apple, Spicy Cucumbers, and Goji Berry green tea. All very good!

A decent Chinese fusion restaurant restaurant in the financial district of SF. Food items were overall OK. The pork dumplings and shrimp-mixed vegetable were delicious! For those who are not comfortable with dan-dan sauce and mustard, avoid having the Mapo Tofu Pork and Calamari. These got quite a strong flavor. This restaurant can do lot better in maintaining overall cleanliness. We were not provided straws and the glasses were quite dirty with occasional stains on the inside. Same with the plates and utensils. Good for one-time visit.
