Filipino-Chinese takeout known for huge, cheap plates like pork chops
"Super Star Restaurant is an Excelsior takeout counter where you can get a full meal for less than $10. The cash-only spot churns out satisfying plates of tocino, Hong Kong-style pork chops, and juicy longanisa, all atop mountainous heaps of garlic rice. If they’re not sold out, the petite and well-seasoned eight-piece lumpia are a mandatory part of any order." - gabi moskowitz, julia chen 1, patrick wong
"SF has its fair share of overpriced sandwiches, salads, and burgers that’ll make you consider taking out a loan just to have lunch. But at Super Star Restaurant, prices have barely budged since the ‘90s when they opened—at $6-ish for a nearly overflowing takeout box, it’s hard to find a better deal in the city. The first orders of business at this Filipino and Chinese takeout counter are their massive pork chop and longsilog plates. And never leave without throwing in an order of one-biter lumpia—just note it’s cash-only." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
"The Filipino and Chinese takeout plates at Super Star Restaurant ring up at around $6 apiece—this place in the Excelsior has been around since the ‘90s, and we’re pretty sure prices have barely budged since then. Go for the longsilog with snappy sausage and garlic rice, or the crispy fried pork chops the size of a baseball mitt." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong

Food Rundown Longsilog Snappy longanisa, a runny egg, and garlic rice that takes up about 75% of the container’s real estate—when plagued by indecision (or when Super Star starts to sell out of other favorites), this simple yet nicely executed plate is our go-to. photo credit: Julia Chen Pork Chop Hong Kong Style The breading on these palm-sized pork chops is crispy enough to pass off as a new Lay’s flavor. This $7.50 plate is the heftiest and most filling you can get here—so if you’re looking to get the most bang for your buck, this is the best option. photo credit: Julia Chen Lumpiang Shanghai These petite babies are excellent. They’re not overly greasy, have well-seasoned pork filling, and you can easily pop one back in a single bite. Eight pieces per order. photo credit: Julia Chen" - Julia Chen
"A no-frills Filipino-Chinese spot in the Excelsior, Super Star is known, in part, for its mind-bendingly low prices — often less than $8 for a huge garlic rice plate with a fried egg and your protein of choice. Popular options include both the Filipino- and Hong Kong-style fried pork chops, the jumbo fried chicken leg, and an entire lineup of classic silogs (breakfast combo plates)." - Dianne de Guzman
