New Lun Ting Cafe

Service was fast, the cut of the ribeye is appropriate for the price and despite being budget—they cooked it so well. Your meal comes with a drink or tea, a fried dumpling, and a small soup. Everything was delicious. The establishment is not frilly, but it was clean and organized. The gravy was delicious, but next time I’m getting it on the prime rib or rib eye!

We always make a stop here on our way home after an extended time away and order our usuals. There’s something really comforting about the familiar flavors, and it always hits the spot when we start missing home. Roast Pork with Gravy – We always ask for extra gravy over the rice. This dish is super consistent. Flavorful every time and exactly what we expect. Lamb Stew with Gravy – Also great with gravy over the rice. It can be a little hit or miss depending on the cut of meat. Usually it’s hearty with generous portions, though occasionally there’s more bone than meat. Still, the flavor makes up for it, and we keep coming back for it. Service – It’s efficient and no-frills. You won’t get chit-chat or extra pleasantries, but the food comes out fast, packed well for takeout, and the staff knows what they’re doing. It’s straightforward and reliable. Overall: 5/5 – Solid food, dependable experience, and always a welcome stop for our family.

A San Francisco Institution 🙇🏻‍♂️ In for a late lunch, was happy surprised the restaurant was not busy. I ordered the Ribeye medium, served with hot Au Jus and a side of rice and corn. Ribeye was a hefty portion, seasoned well, and plenty of Au Jus to dip in and enjoy ☺️ I’ll be back 😋

So many old school restaurants in Chinatown and this was one of the best - Family lunch - 3 of us have been here and two had not. We had so much fun and the food was super good. Love the sisters who took care of us especially Annie the younger sister LOL. Celebrating our sister C bd. Thank you best part of our day.

I think the pork chop alone was a bit dry. Though the value was pretty good for $14. Came with dumpling soup and tea. I think I'm supposed to be ordering something with a sauce as it looked like everyone else did. So next time I shall try again.

Updated review 4/8/2025: It was really slow for New Lun Ting Cafe on a Monday night at dinner time. It was me and one other patron. The Vietnamese restaurant across the street was empty too. X&Y down the block had people waiting outside though. My food came out within 10 minutes. I can't say the prime rib $24 was delicious, my expectations were low. The meat was rough. I had a hard time cutting it. The roasted pork $14 with the orange gravy is much better. For the first time, I had room for the complementary ice cream. Updated review 3/1/2022: A lot of the Chinatown restaurants close early nowadays. At 6:30pm, these restaurants were closed: New Hollywood Bakery, New Regent and Yin Du (Yelp hours are wrong) on Pacific Ave., San Sun (Yelp hours are wrong) on Washington St. and VIP Cafe (Yelp hours are wrong) on Broadway. I'm fortunate New Lun Ting was open. The older waitress/owner was working tonight. After reviewing the comprehensive menu for like five minutes, I decided on their runny egg with shrimp chow fun $12.50. This dish is doused with hoisin sauce and was delicious. I only got four shrimps though. That is unusually low compared to other restaurants that serve this dish. I guess the complementary pot sticker and cup of house vegetable soup made up for it. I left really full. Thank you New Lun Ting Cafe aka Pork Chop House. Updated review 12/22/2021: Nowadays, most restaurants close around 8pm. I love how they are open until 9:30pm. Tonight I had their prime rib with lo-mein $19.65. On the menu, it isn't called prime rib but rather "Rib Eye Roast". It is the 5th down on the left side of the menu. It is due to bad translation I assume. It usually cost $1.50 to change from rice to lo-mein. Since I came after 8:30pm, they ran out of rice and the waitress let me substitute it for free. Spaghetti is also available as an option instead of rice. The meat itself isn't that great but of acceptable quality. I ordered medium and it was cooked perfectly. The butter from the corn spilled over a bit onto the prime rib and it more fragrant. Parts in the middle were a bit chewy. They do provide a decent sized cup of au jus for dipping in case it is too bland. Great job crew at Pork Chop House. Original review: There's something special about Pork Chop House. It feels old and historic. Our meal started off with a complementary Hong Kong style borscht soup and a pot sticker. We had the corned beef and pork chop combo and their prime rib special. The meals came with a side of canned corn, cooked cabbage and rice. That au jus sauce and the orange gravy is pretty good. The meat wasn't dry and didn't need it. The food tasted so good, we ordered two more plates to-go for dinner. Great job everyone at Pork Chop House.

So awesome. Great hearty food with an awesome lady serving us at affordable prices! Food comes with hot tea, soup, and also pot stickers (which we rejected cos we don't take meat). The unagi was good and a really thick big piece. Better than what you could get at Japanese restaurants. For the pepper fish rice, I also added an egg. After which, the lady offered us ice cream on the house! And she further served the orange to my friend who didn't want the ice cream.

The pork chop (with gravy and I asked for onions on top) was delicious and I’d get it again $15.70 before tip, so $18 after. Cash only for purchases under $20

This spot is a true classic hole in the wall restaurant in Chinatown that's been around for years. I've been a regular since my teenage years and my go-to order has always been their roast pork with spaghetti. The roast pork is incredibly tender and packed with flavor. Every meal also starts with a single potsticker and a small bowl of soup, which sets the perfect tone. Their homemade potstickers are also absolutely delicious that I ordered one order to share with my brother before. With generous portion sizes, I always leave this place with a satisfied and contented stomach. Service is all around standard as well, but service can get slow when the restaurant gets busy. There's only two ladies working - one in the front of the house and one in the back of the house. They also used to be cash only, but they've started accepting card payments with a $20 minimum.

This is a a 50-year old SF Chinatown restaurant serving wonderful Cantonese food. It is know.l also as the Pork Chop house. Its most famous dish is the Roast Pork Rice plate. They have perfected it! Don't be fooled by its unassuming decor (one can easily miss the place). The people there are friendly and often throw in 1-2 fried dumplings for you! Recommend!

Come here for a no frills lunch or dinner. Big portions and fast service. Our family lives to get take out or dine in restaurant. Our go to is always the roast pork and ox tail. You get a side of house soup, pan fried dumpling your entree and fruit as dessert. The roast pork comes in a generous portion with orange sauce, its tender come with a heap of rice to soak up the sauce. The staff speak English and Cantonese and are happy to help you.

Definitely one of the best potstickers I've had. Very meaty filling. Tastes different than a traditional potsticker in a great way. It is a bit doughy at the top, but not a big deal. The roasted pork here is surprising extremely moist and tender. I would come back here. I'm looking forward to their other dishes.

Wow!! My fiancé has always raved about this spot and I finally had the opportunity to come try this gem for myself. We both ordered the combo with roast pork and corned beef which also comes with a bowl of soup, a dumpling & a can of soda. I believe they offer the $15 lunch combo that they were offering during SF Restaurant Week as a regular item now. The portions are huge, I couldn't finish my plate and actually had enough for another meal. The dumpling was big, juicy and flavorful! I believe they make the dumplings in house as well. The bitter melon soup is similar to the type of 老火湯 you can expect from your grandma or mom! Overall the food was flavorful but not overly salty & for $15 the lunch combo is a steal! Highly recommend to come and try at least one and support a small local business. Cant wait to come back and try other dishes!

Great place for Chinese pork chops! Huge portions and super tasty. Do note that if you come during a hot day, expect to sweat a lot since there was no AC when we went. Roasted pork with gravy - 4.5/5, a mixture of dry and tender pork chops doused in some sort of gravy, comes with rice and some veggies. The tender parts of the pork were delicious, while the dry parts were a bit too dry. The gravy isn't too salty but definitely flavorful. Ox tail with bean curd - 4/5, a few pieces of meaty ox tail with bean curd. Also topped with gravy and comes with rice. The meat is also tender, and the sauce is just right. Bean curds are soft and soaked up the sauce. They gave us 2 big potstickers with the dishes, which was pretty tasty.

As fantastic as it has been to see the likes of China Live, Empress by Boon, and Mister Jiu's open up in Chinatown over the years, it's equally sad to see the number of long-standing eateries in the neighborhood dwindle. Every time one folds, it makes me feel increasingly appreciative of the places that are still around, especially those that my relatives used to frequent. Given that, I don't know which is worse - that I'd never checked out New Lun Ting up until about eight years ago or that it took me about eight years (and a few more recent visits) to finally write this. Either way, it's safe to say I'm just a smidge late to the party on both counts... While the signage above the door lists that they've been around since 1909, I assume that refers to when the original Lun Ting opened, as the current one opened up in the 1930's or so. Regardless, it's safe to say that New Lun Ting have served generations of families over the last 90+ years they've been around. They even still have one of their old dining counters from when the majority of customers were bachelors and male diners who worked here while their families were back in China. Perhaps somewhat as a result, the menu is a bit like a greasy diner, with options ranging from typical Cantonese dishes to more American/Western offerings at fairly budget friendly prices. -- POTSTICKER APPETIZER I believe this, and a bowl of their house soup, comes included with every dish and it's actually pretty good. The skin isn't overly thick, the filling is relatively juicy, and, surprisingly, it's not one of those generic frozen types you see at Asian markets. That said, it does feel like they've gotten smaller over time. -- ROAST PORK Their nickname may be "pork chop house", but this is essentially their signature dish. The chunks of pork are quite moist, even without the house gravy that's slathered all over it, fairly well seasoned, and is served in a rather generous portion. -- PRIME RIB I wasn't sure what to expect, but this was actually pretty decent. Although it wasn't the prettiest cut, the roast beef was fairly tender, cooked reasonably well, and had a nice bit of seasoning to it. HoPR has no reason to be scared, but this wasn't bad for the money/Chinatown. As is the stereotype for Chinese businesses, service here is nothing to write home about, but it's certainly far from rude or gruff. The worker who takes orders may not be the warmest, but she's friendly enough. The one thing I didn't love, though, was how one of the menu pages showed the combo meal option that we ordered included a can of soda, but ended up being an added charge on our bill. Apparently we either didn't order the right dish to get the deal or that it's no longer offered (it's listed as a special for 2023), but it didn't seem worth it to make an issue over a $2 can of Diet Coke. Beyond the issue with the menu, pretty much everything else about our experiences here have been perfectly fine. However, I feel like the food here isn't quite as good as it was eight years ago. Specifically, I remember being more enamored with the roast pork the first couple of times I had it, but that just might have more to do with the cuts of pork the last couple of times I was here. The most recent time I had it, for example, there were several pieces that were made up entirely of fat. As such, despite how much I want to give this place four stars, they're closer to a three at this point. That said, I still planning on making more trips here in the future. Hopefully, things will improve enough for me to change that, but really, I just want to see New Lun Ting stick around for many more generations to come! For now, THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down.

I came to Chinatown after my job interview in Financial District. I was wondering which restaurant to go. I randomly asked someone, was told to go to New Lun Ting Cafe. It has been around for over 100 years. Their signature dish is pork chop. After I read some Yelp reviews, decided to give it a try. YES! It was indeed delicious! Strongly recommend it. The lady owner was very kind. Before I Ieft, she offered me a free cold soda to go because of the hot weather. 92 degrees on that day. I declined as I don't drink sodas. Then she offered again--a cool bottle water which was very nice of her.

Legendary chinatown pork chop house of san francisco. Roast pork with gravy over rice. People have asked for the "red" or "orange gravy" over the years but the lady told there's only one gravy.

apparently this is a stable and OG China town spot. my friend has been coming here for years I ordered veggie chow mein they tasted like fried Raman their pot stickers were delicious!! they serve soup as an appetizer it didn't tickle my fancy but I think it was very authentic.

You definitely get your money's worth in terms of portion size! Roast pork was unfortunately a little bland and could benefit from some salt. My friend got the prime rib and that tasted much more seasoned, so I would definitely recommend getting the prime rib instead. My favorite part of the meal was the complimentary soup and dumpling it came with, as well as the fat on the prime rib.

When I want comfort food, New Lun Ting Cafe hits the spot. It's not a fancy place, but their prime rib is a steal. Service can be spotty when it gets busy, but our tea always gets refilled and our food comes out as ordered. My favorite is the roast pork with gravy. It's perfectly tender and I can make a couple of meals from the amount they serve you. Make sure to bring cash.

This is bomb. One of the best chow fun I had and the chef cooked the meat just right.

I never ever would have gone in here, but my friend had good childhood memories of this cafe. The menu is a combo of Chinese & American. They set out forks instead of chopsticks. A couple specialties are corned beef & roast pork with cabbage. Didn't like the looks of the gravy, but again, my friend was enjoying it. He scarfed everything down, I was turned off by the aesthetics. Once I got past that, the shrimp & scrambled eggs with oyster sauce was pretty good. Same for the pork. I'm not adventurous enough for the various feet & innards. And try not to notice what's going on in the kitchen or the grimy walls. So if you want to experience a dive cafe in the heart of Chinatown, go for it.

This is a small restaurant with one waitress and 2 ladies cooks, the lamb stew is delicious, the rib eye is okay. The service can't complain. The menu said will serve coffee but they changed, only one cup of hot tea! The price is reasonable !

Things I like about New Lun Ting Cafe: Smothered Pork Chop, Prime Rib, Wings, pan-fried Flounder and open until 9 pm. Oh, I should also add good value - decent sized portions @ fair prices.

your entree also comes with free soup and dumpling, food is very cheap and big portions, there is only one person taking orders and serving food so sometimes it is a bit slow, but normal service you would expect from a restaurant in chinatown

Old Chinatown legacy business serving American style meals to the local Chinatown residents. Been coming here since a kid. Total comfort food!

Food is simple and tasty. Service I will definitely say excellent, they will try to make any adjustments to meet your needs. Smaller size and and they have round table or squares smaller size for 4 persons. Ambiance will be great but don't expect in a high end restaurant. Chicken wings will be definitely a must

They call it "old Chinatown", a restaurant that has survived many, many years and the moment I walked in I can feel that in my bones. My friend's grandpa used to be the Chinatown butcher and the moment we walked in, everyone greeted him like a local legend. What a beautiful moment. So for the food, I HAD to go for the Prime Rib Special and it was a bit salty for me but I typically don't care for salt on my food so it is probably perfect for a normal human. Loved the pairing with napa cabbage and canned corn on top of spaghetti. To be honest, this is a meal my pops would make me, an "American-Asian" meal. Get it?

If you are looking for more an authentic chinese brunch, I highly recommend this place! Although the exterior may be deceiving, the food is amazing and captures a homely feel. Highly recommend their Chinese sausage/ scramble egg rice plate and their Hong Kong milk tea.

I had the curry beef stew. Came with soup and potsticker. It wasn't curry. It was tender beef in brown sauce. It was delicious. So expertly cooked. I recently had roast pork with pepper sauce(brown gravy. So good!!! Pork was so tender and sauce was great!!! And serving size huge!!!

Hole in the wall, classic SF Chinatown lunch with very affordable dishes. Limited seating inside, think 3-4 tables, so saw a bunch of takeout orders. All the rice plates come with a tea, soup, and potsticker, though you may not get all 3 in that order. The potsticker tasted homemade and surprisingly flavor and juicy! Had to wave down the server to order but all was forgiven when the rice plates came. Roast pork with gravy was fall off the bone delicious and generously portioned even if you had came hungry. Kung pao shrimp rice plate was spicy, as a fan of spice I really enjoyed it. Noticed they had a early afternoon special menu but we came slightly after it. Can't wait to come back for breakfast and get the specials!

This is a hole in the wall restaurant that probably hasn't gotten a refresh since the day it opened. Food was authentic Chinese Cafe style with complementary pot sticker and soup with any order. The one problem is that they uses a lot of MSG. I don't have allergies, but I had to drink a lot of water when I have MSG in my food. The service is decent, but the menu is overused. The price is ok, but not super cheap for being a hole in the wall.

Food was really good and super worth the price given the taste, quality, and serving proportion! The cooking style was authentic, simple, yet so good!!!!!! The pork was so tender, and flavorful!! Crazy tender I can't emphasize this enough Ambiance was also so authentic! Customers were locals who ordered the same thing haha it's simple, and not pretentious at all! What you see is what you get. Home style cooking vibes very authentic Service was good! The server spoke functional English and was attentive. I'd say 5/5 given the price, quality, and authenticity of the place!

Midcentury Chinese-American dining. Ambience is minimal but functional, including a former wall cabinet unit that now serves as an eating bar for single diners. No chopsticks; forks only. Soy sauce is the only condiment other than a passed bottle of sriracha. I got the pork rice plate which comes with a clear soup and a potsticker and a cup of tea; so did almost everybody else. The pork was tender and generous and the gravy was what you'd expect in an American diner. It came with steamed cabbage and a generous amount of rice. Most folks requested to-go containers for their leftovers. This is not destination dining but well-prepared and nutritious food and a good value.

Great food and great prices! The prime rib was sold out but that's my next goal when I'm here. Best to get it for Lunch. Call to reserve one. I also want to try their oxtail over rice. So much good food choices and not enough space in my tummy to store. I'll just have to break it Guen in a few days to accomplish it. Service is awesome! Lisa is your girl to make sure everything is yummy in your tummy at a good price! Everything is so expensive and not even good. This place is definitely my new go to place to cover both.

I did so much!! They treat Chris Gardner and I so good!!!!! Hope we make it bad some day! So much food!!!!!

Do one thing and do it really well At this spot, it is most definitely the roast pork. You can do gravy or a curry sauce. Stick with the gravy. Cannot do wrong

If some influencer got you checking out this place, it's going to leave you disappointed. New Lun Ting has been around forever. Ownership and cook are not the same as it used to be. It's a far departure from its golden days. They're known for their roast pork with gravy but it's become bland and lackluster. They also boast a prime rib special but you truly get what you pay for and you're better off going somewhere else. Both dishes are more disappointing than bringing home bad grades to Asian parents. After paying, the waitress chased us for additional tip which we were incredibly befuddled. This place is meant to be skipped.

Was in Chinatown and my fiancé decided to try this cafe as he mentioned this was a go to spot for his grandpa back in the days. He was surprised it is still in business. He had good memories here so I had to try it! I originally ordered the roast duck ho fun noodle soup and the iced lemon tea, unfortunately they were out of both items. I ended up ordering just the seafood ho fun noodle soup. My noodle soup was lacking in flavor, but the noodles were good! Nice and chewy! It came with two shrimp, one mussel, 3 cuttlefish balls, 1 lobster corn ball, 2 fish cakes and cabbage. I wouldn't order this again, but I would come again and try the roast duck if they have it next time. Also, they gave us each a complimentary bowl of seaweed soup and a piece of pan fried dumpling each. Can't beat the price here! My fiancé and cousin ordered the beef stew noodle soup and they really liked it! Broth was flavorful and the beef was tender! Definitely a must try if you try this cafe. Note: egg noodles absorbed the broth flavor more than the ho fun, so try the egg noodles! Only con is that the cafe looks a bit run down and a little dirty. Seems like they're preserving it as long as possible. Things have not changed here! My fiancé even said the clock never changed, same exact one from many years ago.

Stopped by on Father's Day with my son. We both got the prime rib. It was pretty good. Looking forward to coming back to try the roast pork and the minced beef over rice

Whenever I visit the city, I always have to stop by this place. Their corn beef is *chefs kiss*. Very cozy and feels like I am visiting my grandma's house

Ok, so I know they're known for their pork chops and even their signage says "Pork Chop House" but I went rogue and got the oxtail. Not 1 but 2. Both variations were great but if I had to choose, I'd take the stew over the oxtail that comes w/ the bean curd. The gravy in the oxtail stew was so thick, luscious and balanced that I just kept piling it on the rice when I usually like my rice dry. The oxtail was pretty soft and loved the tendon-y parts. Generous portions which left me pretty full. 2 order came about to be ~$31 and comes w/ a bowl of soup each. Solid deal and flavors.

1st Place 2022 SF Chinatown Take Out Beef Chow Fun Throwdown WARNING: Cash Only!!! There is a lot of history in this eatery and worth a stop just to try their famous pork chops. It's got that "chaotic Chinatown vibe" with only 2 people staffing the whole joint. Here is how it scored: 1. Beef Chow Fun: 5/5 really well executed with excellent wok hei 2. Pot Stickers: 5/5 it should be called pot sticker house instead of pork chop house. LOL Dare I say the best potstickers in Chinatown, yes indeed. 3. Roast Pork with Gravy: 4/5 I really liked it and the weird orange gravy too. Unfortunately, the other taste testers did not care for it. :-( It's the legendary "Pork Chop House", nuff said...

PCH has been a Chinatown staple for decades. I've known Frances and have been coming here for over 40 years, and it never disappoints. It's a great value with great portion sizes, comfort food that hits the spot. Try the roast pork with the gravy, it's the specialty of the house. It's the last of the Chinese American diners in Chinatown, so come out and support an OG Chinatown institution.

The younger waitress only works on the weekends. The older women on the weekdays is much slower. Well, I don't blame her for being slow. She has to handle the to-go phone orders, the orders from the walk-in take-out from the bar next door and also the people dining inside. It must be tough working all those hours by herself at that age. My prime rib $21 was so so. I ordered medium and got a rare. The meat was bland. The supplied au jus was much needed. Regardless, I enjoyed my meal. Good job staff at Pork Chop House.

Super authentic and nice setting! Total hole in the wall but the food was amazing. The staff don't speak English but that's not their problem- I don't speak two languages either! We went on a Saturday night and it was pretty empty, but I really hate loud restaurants when I'm trying to enjoy a nice meal with good company. The food was super tasty and I definitely recommend. They have a large menu and we really had trouble deciding. All of your Americanized favorites are there and they have plenty of authentic dishes so you can try something new.

A friend recommended that we check out this place for it's authentic "cha tang" type of dishes. When we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly waitress. She gave us a great variety of recommendations. I got the pork chops with terriyaki sauce. The portions were quite large. The pork itself was quite tender and the sauce was a little bit sweet and savory! There was a nice blend of sauteed cauliflower and cabbage over the pork which balanced everything quite nicely. My friend got the minced beef over rice with a pan fried egg. He really liked it and it also seemed to have large portions as well. They also gave us a free potsticker and soup so that was nice. I would 10/10 recommend this for an authentic HK diner type of experience.

Came here with my parents after I landed in San Francisco and this was the only place out of so little that was open at eight or 9 PM. The place is really small and it definitely looks on the older side. However, this deceptive place actually has a lot of great Cantonese /Hong Kong style food. I had zero complaints about the Hong Kong style milk tea so I would definitely recommend that to anyone who goes. I also was able to try their lamb and bean curd, rice plate - the lamb had a really rich flavor, and the bean curd was nice soft and chewy. I personally got a full plate of the beef chow fund. The beef chow fun was a little bit saucy - it's a bit saucier than it traditionally should be however, the flavor was still really good. I definitely recommend supporting this business - the owner/server seemed really nice and guided us through the menu, despite a very slight language barrier. Even as Cantonese speakers they were somethings lost in translation, which was a bit surprising to me. but that's how you know the food is good.

Located in the heart of Chinatown, I've heard this place was known for their pork chop rice. This was a very small store, but we were seated right away on a Saturday afternoon. Service was great and the lady was very attentive. Pork Chop Rice 6/10 - Unfortunately, the pork chop rice was not that great. The meat was pretty flavorless and seemed like the teriyaki sauce on top was doing all the heavy lifting. Portion and price were okay.

Stopped by to grab a take-away order for Chicken Eggplant over Rice (13.85). Unbeknownst to me, frog meat was substituted instead as it is known widely as the "other, other white protein" and a delicacy. In fact, frog when prepared properly are lean meaty morsels full of vitamins and tastes very similar to chicken meat. Not this nasty plate! Upon opening the lid of the plastic container, a foul malodorous "fishy" funk punched me in the face. After inspecting a small forkful, I noticed the fully deskinned frog in plain view. Appalled and aghast as the putrid rank smell worsened in the searing heat, I quickly discarded this meal in its entirety along with its vegetarian seaweed soup with peanuts for precautionary measures! Appears substitutions and forced tips are quite a common practice here. Pass this unsanitary hole-in-the-wall eatery as it is a health hazard for all.

A nonchalant Chinatown institution that is serving up solid Chinese-American meals. Been coming here for the past 20 years and it's the only place I bring guests to whenever they visit. I always get the roast pork with gravy and/or the ox tail stew. Each plate comes with a Chinese soup and a potsticker too! Huge portions and prices are around 12-15 dollar. Roast pork gravy with rice. You get a mountain of rice and on top is a solid half pound of pork. All smothered in a delicious gravy sauce that'll leave you wanting more. On the side is typically boiled cabbage, but it'll differ on the day Ox tail with rice - huge chunks of oxtail that has been stewed for hours. Reminds me of home every time I eat it because this is what my mom used to make.

If you love hole in the wall dive joints and greasy spoons? This should be right up your alley. Ever since Mariposa Cafe closed, I really missed roast pork and gravy. Then I heard about this place. So good! Very generous portions and pork was tender with just enough fat on it. Gravy was a bit on the orange side but very tasty. Been a few times so I know it's consistent. They serve you tea, some soup and 1 delicious fried dumpling. And the two ladies helping me were so sweet. Made me feel like right at home. Definitely a repeat customer

Old school chinese diner food; basic, tasty, and great prices. you cannot go wrong here; every dish is great. Most famous is their roast pork with curry or brown gravy; but almost all the dishes are great.

It's a local gem. Good food, reasonable prices that won't break the bank. It's like the original Chinatown steakhouse that decades ago was mainly only men that ate here. Now everyone can enjoy their roast pork with brown gravy over rice.

F'n Covid. Delivery, outdoor dining or takeout just isn't the same. So, when I visit the same place twice within the span of a few days, and indoor dining is still not allowed - that's saying something. Take it back a little more. Tried to visit back in February but this place was closed. F'n Covid. But also it was a holiday weekend. CNY, Valentine's and President's Day. Can't blame them. I was off work too. First visit - my friend and I got an order of Roast Pork. Take out. Btw, cash only. Shared the delicious tender Pork with rice, smothered with what we called a "secret radioactive, out of this world" gravy. We both don't eat rice regularly (yeah, we're both Asian) - but with the gravy, I finished my portion down to the last grain. I would have gnawed on the bones but didn't have to because the meat just slipped right off. Second visit - we decided to go back and try their Oxtail. Same results. This time however, I did gnaw a little on the bones. If you've had oxtail, you know what I'm talking about. I left nothing to spare on the bones and it didn't matter that I was eating outdoors on the street for the world to see. One of these days when indoor dining is prohibited again, I'll make it a point to dine in. Next time, I'm not sharing. My friend will need to order her own.

Cash only. Ordered the roast pork and was surprised there is no skin. When I am looking for roast pork at a Chinatown establishment I was hoping to have some crispy pork skin on top of that roast pork. Service as you would expect ion Chinatown though helpful that the folks could speak English well. It is convenient and open later after we got out of an event at the theater down the street. Will give them another chance next time and try something else.

Wanted to try this place for a long long time and finally found it. However I was disappointed. The roast pork wasnt what I expected and honestly i felt the taste was pretty bland although the fattier pieces were ok. I also got the oxtail because i love oxtail and hate to admit it but i was disappointed with that too. Not saying you shouldn't try this place. You should. As for me I wont be coming back. So my search for roast pork that is close to Mariposa's roast pork is still an on-going search! Where is it?! Anyone know?!
