    Not your average Cantonese Hong Kong style diner. Clean inviting interior and cheap food! Go for the jook, fried noodles and fried rice.

    If you’re a late riser, you can grab a revitalizing bowl of chicken jook topped with shredded chicken and scallions, or any flavor that fits your fancy. Read more

    delicious and the staff is SOOO friendly. get the BBQ pork rice rolls, the dishes are kind of small, be careful what time you go because there can be a massive line..

    Reopened in their new location with the same food! BBQ pork rice rolls are still delicious. Their chow fun is still as oily as ever. Prices went up.

    Esquire: I love new-school takes on SF Chinatown from chefs like Brandon Jew. Restaurants like Wo’s are more important than ever, serving as connection to past, w/o dipping into schmaltz or nostalgia

    The rice was good and pork bun also. Cheap, cheap, cheap and open later in the evening. Life saver for a jet leg guy.

    Great hefty wontons, and beef brisket. Fried rice/noodles done well and not very oily!

    BBQ pork rolls are just alright. Would come back for the pork and preserved egg jook + Chinese donuts.

    Dong nai cha is so legit. It tastes exactly the same as the one in Tsui Wah in Hong Kong

    The portions are enormous and they gladly wrap up your leftovers to go, but no one takes it, so they end up throwing away massive amounts of food, which is pretty depressing to witness :(
