"San Francisco’s House of Pancakes (no, not the international one) is a cash-only Chinese restaurant in Parkside where everything on the menu is $12.95 or less—so a meal here is a financially responsible choice. Come for the eponymous pancakes alone. Out of the 11 on the menu, the beef roll pancake is the winner. It’s a squishy yet crispy scallion pancake filled with hoisin and thick beef slices. Unless you’re planning an all-pancake diet for dinner (not a bad idea), add their solid dumplings, hand-pulled noodles, and grilled skewers to the order." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"Everything on the menu at this Parkside Chinese restaurant is under $12.95, so if you just lost an inordinate amount of money to that oil change you’ve been putting off for months, get here for dinner. They have a ton of filling entrées like hand-pulled noodles or chicken skewers, all of which cost less than a couple gallons of gas. If you need more convincing to get to this casual cash-only spot, go for their beef roll pancake—it’s a knockout with thin slices of beef, a generous swath of hoisin, and scallions, all swaddled in a thick pancake." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong

"The old school service and dishes at this Taraval Street restaurant are part and parcel of what makes San Francisco’s west side so legendary over the years. Mr. and Mrs. Li came to the city in 1998 and opened their ode to China in 2018. Given the name, it shouldn’t be a surprise to hear savory pancakes are the move here: pork, lamb, or veggie should do." - Paolo Bicchieri
"There are three ATMs within a one-block radius of this Chinese spot in Parkside, and one of them is directly across the street. Everything on the menu is also $13 or less. This means you can easily order your fill of their fantastic beef rolls and lamb skewers with the only restraint being your checking account balance." - julia chen 1
