There was one table free at about 2pm on a Sunday. Everyone seemed to be eating clay pot rice so we ordered one each. As mentioned on the menu, it took a while for the food to arrive. The rice was nice and crispy with just the right amount of char. It wasn’t too stuck on either. They provided a sauce dispenser but I didn’t use it much. Having tried spare ribs, salty fish, and a combination with sausage and bacon, I’d recommend the combo. The only thing missing was veggies. Next time I think we’ll share some clay pots and a veggie dish.

I almost want to keep this a secret but given how crowded it was when I went, the secrets out. Authentic and tasty clay pot that even my mom likes, and she is very picky. Not the most cleanly nor nicest but that’s ok with me. Rice was perfectly cooked and crispy on the bottom. The vegetable soup was also really good.

The clay pot rice 煲仔饭 was truly authentic and a rare find outside of Canton province of China. The rice cooked from raw in a high temperature clay pot adds so much complex texture and flavor. The meat was also very fresh. Worth the wait. Fresh eel option too. Cash only.

Hole in a wall restaurant but the foods is yummy. We order beef stew noodle soup eel claypot and 4 treasures claypot. All are yummy. The noodle is a bit overcooked. Interestingly beef noodle soup has more tendons than meat. Claypot is also yummy. It gets busy very quickly at lunchtime. Seems like it is cash only. Price is reasonable and portion is pretty big.

Randomly walked in this local and authentic family restaurant . Just learned my lesson today that claypot rice bowl takes at least 20 mins to make. Tips for first timers: be patient and wait. if you are in a rush, then claypot is not the best option, try other dishes instead.

This is a place you go for the Iron stone steamed rice pots and the food. You aren’t here for the design, ambiance or service. Its good homey food and authentic Chinese.

Phenomenal food— we had the pork belly and preserved veggies (#130) and the small salt fish & braised pork clay rice pot (#143). Plenty for two, and tea on the side! Quiet and out of the way.

Claypot rice is taste ok, as expected and it is not localized to suit the local.

I just had the best Clay Rice Pot in San Francisco. I spontaneously walked in the restaurant and the owner was very nice. She told their speciality is Clay Rice Pot so I decided to get a shot. It turned out it was very delicious. Definitely will come back for more. The price is very affordable as well. It’s a hidden gem in Chinatown.
