Hong's Kitchen — Restaurant in San Francisco

Decent, affordable and I would both a)come back in a heartbeat and b)recommend to my most sophisticated acquaintances.

They serve the type of official City Chinese Food you really be missing when you are stranded tragically in a land of uncivilized heathens where you can’t get any decent Chinese. They just don’t do it like this in the middle of nowhere.

This ain’t the type of place you visit for ambiance and service. Let’s just put it like that. Decor and white glove attention is never on the menu in this particular genre for me.

I got an order beef and broccoli that was solid. Like Big Body Bes said you have to see what their blades are hittin for when you visit a new barber. Beef and Broccoli is to Americanized Chinese food what the tapered or faded dark Caesar is to barbershops. If they mess that one up… can’t be trusted. But Hong and Co didn’t let me down.

Last time I was here a lively fellow who appeared unable to bathe daily asked to use the restroom and was adamantly refused. He said his Grandmother was Chinese but anyone with vision in their eyes could see that he was lying comedically.

Can’t wait to...

This is the first time we've been to this place. I live in the Sunset and am surrounded by great Chinese on Irving, but my boyfriend and I were getting ice cream at Polly Ann's so we stopped by here to grab food to go.

When we ordered we were told we'd have to wait 30 mins. We were ok with this since the restaurant was full and we figured it was a small family establishment. We waited over an hour for our food.

Once we got it, we hoped it would be great. It wasn't. The fried rice used frozen ingredients and was oily. The sweet and sour chicken was a mixed bag- the chicken itself was good, but the veggies (peppers, onions and pineapple) were slightly rubbery. The salt and pepper pork wasn't crispy and was bland - and this is a dish I get pretty often so I have a lot to draw from contextually.

Overall everything was mild tasting, and if we had waited 20 - 30mins for it I don't think I would be reviewing the food thusly, but we watched food come out of the kitchen promptly for other patrons and waited nearly 90 minutes for food that...

Good Chinese and good value.... however the lady that served me was as unfriendly as I've ever experienced at any restaurant here She literally glowered borderline hatred at me when I was inquiring about their milkshakes on the wall menu......it clearly was written there on the board that they have milkshakes....lady don't get mad at me for asking for a milkshake....take it off the board That was the second experience I had with her.....the first time I had dinner there she literally followed me to the bathroom and checked it after I was done using it.... I'm flabbergasted at the level of distaste she shows towards others outside her own race Blows my mind Despite liking the good I vow...
