delicious and at an incredibly good price! we got the pork chop with mushroom sauce and garlic chicken chop, they were both delicious and well-seasoned. it felt very homey and traditional, and the service was tip-top. would come again!

Definitely come for their daily specials! All their food is very well portioned and plentiful. I appreciate the kind customer service and I always find this place as one of the locals spots.

There is street parking available, along with metered parking closer to the restaurant.

Also it is solo dining friendly when it’s not busy. It tends to be on the quieter side when it’s not busy which is perfect to enjoy a delicious meal.

One place you might want to consider for a Hong Kong-style lunch cafe!!
It offers generous portions and decent flavors for the price. Enjoy your meal in Hong Kong!
Baked ham pasta with white sauce.

Ordered the baked chicken steak with white sauce over rice (see image). Piping hot and full of cheesy, saucy goodness. The only downside was that the chicken was oversalted. (Pro-tip: they can make it with any type of sauce on top of your order even if it isn't explicitly listed on the menu.)

Also tried the ox-tongue with tomato sauce and spaghetti. The ox-tongue was amazingly tender, a must-try! The sauce was very sweet and I would recommend a different choice unless you have a sweeter palette.

Both orders started off with tomato soup appetizer which hit the spot and started the meal off on the right note.

Ordered HK milk tea on the side. The tea is strong as expected and comes standard with sugar/artificial sweetener packets and unlimited refills. ☕ Jello was for dessert as usual but doesn't come topped with creamer anymore. Not too sweet, just right.

The aunties serving us were very accommodating and kept our drinks topped off.

Really good chaa cha teng / HK cafe with yummy daily specials, great milk tea, and a relaxing community atmosphere !

It was 17.99 for the daily special which had two different choices. I got a pork chop this time. Looking forward to trying their other menu options!!

One of the few HK style cafe places remain operating in SF after 30 years of opening. There is no other similar places that can compete with their price, portion and taste of food. Not a fancy place to dine in but your tummy will not leave disappointed.

We got here around 1pm and it was quite busy. We got a seat right away. We got the Sat special salt baked chicken thighs and a regular menu oxtail stew. We both opted for just more veggies and trust us, the amount of meat for both dishes will fill you up alone. Oxtail stew was absolutely delicious. I will come back here just for that dish. The chicken thighs were so tender and the skin was crispy. The milk tea was bomb and it is bottomless with any special order. We are definitely coming back for more.
