Pop Kitchen — Restaurant in Daly City

I went here with my parents and we order two items. Hianinan chicken and the other dish was pawns with walnut. The total bill came out to $50. The food was good. When we ask for the bill and payed the amount. The sever/host told us that we have to tip 15%. Eventually we did cash tip. As soon we were about to leave the server/host said that wasn’t enough tip money. First of all why you would ask for 15% tip. Second asking for tip and then complain about how we tipped low. You should be grateful there was tip. I never seen this kind behavior from any restaurant establishments. As a person that works in the restaurant industry that is a very rude thing to say to paying customers. Also on top of that I understand Cantonese so I understand all the unnecessary talk about didn’t tip enough and why you should tip more. As much I like the food here, more likely I won’t be...

Delicious food and good service overall! Cute little mom and pop shop - they’ve got little funko pop toys hanging all over the ceiling.

Service was great - prompt, friendly. They also gave us soup (tomato and pork soup) as a start and a finishing dessert with the white snow fungus.

I’d stick to the traditional Chinese dishes - the hainan chicken rice is a must order! So yummy and also boneless. The pea sprouts with garlic were also very fresh and a huge plate!

The Hong Kong style baked spaghetti tastes good and satisfied the cravings but a little disappointing- not enough meat and the spaghetti was a little bit overcooked. Can skip this dish.

Oh did I mention the tea was the best out of any restaurant! They had the most delicious lychee red tea - instead of the usual kinda cheap black teas that many other places have. I’d come just...

I rarely post reviews anymore but felt the need to share that the practices at this restaurant are shady.

For takeout, I ordered a full Hainan chicken set and only received the chicken without any rice or soup. The waitress told me that I needed to order from them directly, but when I tried to order from their website, it was missing a ton of items including veggies and beverages so I had to order from another platform. The only time I really order Hainan chicken is when I crave the rice so this was a let down. The HK style milk tea was also not good because the tea tasted over-steeped and had a strong tannin flavor. Lastly, the string beans looked day old and was mixed with a fresher batch.

$60 (doesn't include tip) for Hainan chicken with no rice or soup, questionable string beans, and two subpar milk teas. I will...
