Win's Restaurant — Restaurant in San Francisco

I used to eat food from Win's all the time as a kid. With so much fond memories of this place, I had to come eat here again.

The roast duck from here was just ok. The skin was cooked well and had that distinctive light crisp to it. The meat could've been seasoned a bit better, but it still had a decent flavor. There's a sweetness to it that kind of distracts the typical five spice flavor. It's good enough for Outer Sunset locals, but I think Cheung Hing and Ming Kee are still the reigning champs when it comes to roast duck.

I did enjoy the noodle soups here. By Hong Kong standards, this place wouldn't be anything special, but it stands out among other Cantonese noodle soup places in the Bay Area. One of the biggest fumbles of wonton noodle soup around here is that the broth is pretty much just watery chicken broth. The broth at Win's wasn't as pungent or aromatic as I'd like it to be, but it did have hints of the dried seafood flavor that added an umami character. The noodles had a good bite to them, and the wontons were seasoned well. They had a good ratio of shrimp, and the seasoning and spices imparted a slight warm fuzzy feeling on my tongue. That's a good sign. I've definitely had better wonton noodle soup, but with its cheap price and decent flavor here, I can see myself coming back for a quick fix. It's better and closer than any place in Chinatown.

Next time, I have to order the Ngau Jaap (Honeycomb Tripe Stew). This place made me fall in love with tripe as a toddler, and I'd really like to see if they can make it just as good...

Win's Restaurant is one of my top finds since I've really started exploring food in SF. It's got the mom and pop shop vibe and serves simple yet delicious tasting dishes for amazingly affordable prices.

Whenever I come with my friends the big seller is always a nice warm bowl of wonton noodle soup- for less than $4!! Great broth, nice portion of noodles, and freshly made wontons; what a great buy! But wait, you can turn it up a notch- get the wonton noodle soup with a roasted duck combination (get the duck on the side) and it brings the total up to ~$6.80. After a work out or a run around lake merced, this dish is a well earned choice.

I've been to Win's about 6 times in the past 6 months and have had excellent service with the staff. They mainly speak in cantonese, but coming from someone who doesn't (me), I can vouch that ordering and speaking to them in english doesn't hinder the experience or meal.

Must try dishes that really hit the spot:

-Wonton noodle soup with Big Dumplings or roasted duck (both are my faves) -BBQ pork braised noodles -Pork spareribs over rice

And with Fall and Winter coming, I will be back very soon for a delicious and well portioned bowl of noodles,...

Small restaurant located on Taravel outer sunset. It was my first time eating here and won't be my last! Service was great and friendly. We got a bunch of different dishes, my favorite is their soy sauce chicken. I loved the saltiness of it.

They also have some already made Asian savory snacks to go and have duck/cha siu/chicken...

My family didn't know they close at 6:30pm and we got there at 6pm. They were very friendly the whole time and we were the last table to leave. My family thought it was weird they were cleaning up and some workers were leaving, we didn't think it's because they actually closed. We thanked everyone at the end and the person chopping the meats at the front was so kind and actually thanked us for coming to support their business 🥺 it was such a cute and wholesome moment.

Overall...
