"Leave your Wednesdays open—from now on, that's when you should be eating the baked pork chops with tomato sauce at Cafe Bakery. The Wednesday-only special at this Sunset spot comes with two weighty breaded cutlets fresh from the oven, resting on a heap of vegetable fried rice and doused in a slightly tangy tomato sauce. As if that wasn’t enough, the dish is bookended by a bowl of macaroni and ham soup and a saucer of green Jell-O for dessert. But Cafe Bakery doesn’t just have oven-cooked pork. Any of their daily specials, like the curry beef brisket and baked seafood, are worth stopping in for—if not just for a sub-$20 meal that could last you a couple of days." - patrick wong, julia chen 1
"Go to this Sunset cha chaan teng if you’re looking to dethrone Joey Chestnut. Not with hot dogs or water-dipped buns, but with stomach-stretching portions of Hong Kong-style diner classics. Entrees like the baked seafood over rice and fried fish fillets spill over their plates, and basically require asking for a to-go box as soon as you sit down. More than enough on their own, these daily specials also come with a bowl of macaroni soup, milk tea, and a silver-plated saucer of green Jell-O. Getting a seat is usually no issue, though the restaurant is often at least half full with families at any time of day. And while service isn’t as quick as other Hong Kong-style cafes, you can still get in and out in less than 30 minutes. video credit: Patrick Wong" - Patrick Wong
"The neighborhood spot closed the bakery side of the business (once Mayor Ed Lee’s favorite place for a pork bun); the bakery shuttered during the pandemic and the owners do not plan to reopen that portion, though the restaurant side remains open." - Becky Duffett
