Teawood Cafe - Review - Richmond - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Teawood Cafe is a Hong Kong-style spot in the Richmond with everything from ramen and fried pork chops to rose honey chicken wings. Desserts like tofu pudding, sesame soup, and sago are served in mini bathtubs for maximum photo-taking potential. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

Teawood is one of my family's new favorites. It's rare to find legit Taiwanese food in SF for some reason, and this place has it. This is what we got: Fried chicken over minced pork noodle (B02) - really good. Chicken is nicely fried, great flavor, and very juicy. Noodles are really good too, very good texture and flavor. Popcorn chicken with minced pork rice (RE04) - also super good. Similar to above but with rice and popcorn chicken style. Braised beef noodle soup (N01) - I really enjoyed this. It has the right taste, the noodles are bouncy, and the meat is very very tender. They also give A LOT of meat. Fried pork chop curry rice (RE05) - pretty good, for some reason one of my kid's favorites. So food is really good, though I think the menu could benefit from a redesign because it's confusing to read. But so happy this place is around now. Will definitely be coming back often!

TeaWood Cafe did a good job decorating the restaurant and with the creative dishes on the menu. Props to Lisa X and Genevieve Y. for posting nice food photos. If you order the cutlet noodle dishes, they don't serve it on the side. You need to order the rice dishes to get the cutlet on the side. There was one waiter working 10+ tables and to-go. Naturally, there's a long wait for service. Same with the kitchen, very slow. I have a soft spot for Taiwanese food. My Taiwanese pork cutlet noodles needed pickled mustard greens. My friend's fried chicken noodles had it. It also needed scallions. Overall, good job staff at TeaWood Cafe.

A very welcomed addition to the neighborhood! Taiwanese food that could be inconsistent at times, we had 5 dishes so far and liked 4 out of 5! So that's a good sign. The drinks are hefty as well which is great. But I have to give a shout out to Vivian, who was going above and beyond for every table, she was running around making sure everyone had what they needed, all while she seemed to enjoy her job! The inside is spacious and you won't feel crammed, with cute signs and an emphasis on a cute bear.

Thr food was delicious and they had interesting drinks. We even won some plushies from a sticker they gave to us for free at the end of the meal. So fun!

I had the pleasure of dining at TeaWood on its pre-opening day, and I have to say, it was an exceptional experience. The atmosphere is cozy yet modern, with a warm welcoming vibe. The staff was friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate. The menu is a delightful blend of creative dishes and classic favorites, and you can tell that every item is prepared with care and high-quality ingredients. I ordered the honey glazed chicken wings and calamari rings for appetisers, and it turned out to be one of the best ones I’ve ever tasted. With all that being said, I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I visited Teawood cafe , a new restaurant had soft grand opening today. The food was fantastic We tried Salmon pasta, Popcorn chicken, and everything was delicious. We enjoyed the milk tea and dragon fruit yogurt drinks. The milk tea and yogurt drinks was perfect balance of sweetness and flavor. The Staffs were attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed.

Nice HK / TW Cafe. You will miss it if you drive past it. Inside is a pretty modern hip cafe style. Very comfy and a good place to hang out. Not only comfy, but the food is very good. Have all menu or cafe items and plus more with drinks and dessert. Definitely a plus and a place to try out if you like HK/ the style cafe / food.

My 1st time at this new spot! Didn't know that they had only opened since last December. The customer service was good. I wish the best of luck in staying at this location for awhile! I'm always on the lookout for new spots and always like trying new spots around SF! Looking forward to trying their other items!' Ambiance was cool...

This was a newer restaurant that opened late last year in my friend's neighborhood and he decided to have his birthday luncheon here. It's a Hong Kong style café that also served Japanese and Taiwanese dishes. Place reminded me of places in Asia. We selected our individual entrees and our host selected a bunch of appetizer/snack dishes to share: Super French Fries, Curry Fish Balls, Deep Fried Tofu, Deep Fried Chicken Wings, Thai Spicy Fish Cakes, Deep Fried Calamari, Beef Roll and Popcorn Chicken. My favorites were the fries, which were super long, the fried tofu, the chicken wings and the fish cakes. For my entrée, I had the Deep Fried Pork Chop with Signature Curry Sauce. It came with two boneless pork cutlets, aka tonkatsu. A bowl with curry sauce, carrots and potatoes with a heaping scoop of rice. Pork was moist and the curry was not spicy. It was very satisfying. Our host ordered Hong Kong egg waffles for us to share for dessert. They passed out scratch off cards and you can win drinks, appetizers and a Blind Box. I got a Boba cup plushy. Tea Wood is a nice new restaurant in the area with friendly service. If you're craving Hong Kong style café cuisine, check them out.

What a cute spot! I appreciate that while this cafe uses some gimmicks (like blind boxes, scratcher cards, bathtub-shaped bowls for desserts), the food still is of good quality. The chicken cutlet was seasoned perfectly, as Taiwanese chicken cutlets/popcorn chicken should be, and was a classic dish that just hits really well. The pork minced sauce over noodles was delicious too, though the picked mustard greens were overpowered by the sauce, sadly. The noodles were cooked well and had a good amount of chew to them! The super french fries were also really fun, considering they're just long french fries lol. They're surprisingly lightly fried, so they won't last very long once you get them. Make sure you eat them fast! I just didn't like the chicken satay with the peanut sauce. The peanut sauce was very sweet and didn't taste as nutty as the usual. Overall, though, I want to come back here again, and hopefully next time, I'll get a winning scratcher card LOL.

Summary: Surprising flavor and surprising gifts! Details: When I think of think of Asian cafes and the food that's available there, I have a particular stereotype in my mind already: food that satisfies that snack craving, but isn't particularly notable otherwise. So, the food at TeaWood actually came as a surprise, with food that's a lot closer to a full on restaurant experience, though still with plenty of those cafe-style snacks available. There are a mix of East Asian cuisines available to you here, Taiwanese and HK style eats among them, with the former being surprisingly legit, and the noodles we got having a surprisingly good chew to them. All that said, the things we got (all savory) were a bit too sweet for us, but even that speaks a bit of Taiwanese authenticity, for better or worse. Having asked after our meal though, it sounds like you can actually ask the kitchen to adjust for this ahead of time, so mental note for next time around. The final surprise of the meal: scratchers! Yup, prize scratchers, which can get you various food discounts, or blind boxes with random gifts inside, like this watermelon drink plushy I pulled. Fun little way to end the meal. Accessibility: Spacious with plenty of accessible seating.

We came here after an exhausting day at the Academy of Sciences. As a group, we ordered multiple drinks and snacks that included a few orders of their super fries, chili wonton, popcorn chicken and teriyaki beef over noodle. Everything was delicious! The only caveat is that some drinks came in these cute little bears- so no ice. By the time we got home, most of the drinks weren't cold anymore and we had to buy ice and poured them in our own cups.

As the name implies, this is more of a cafe with simple eats as opposed to a restaurant. While the service was very friendly and prompt, and the food was good, there wasnt anything that stood out. If you're looking for a casual, quick eats, light meal type of place, TeaWood has what you need Order through the QR code on your phone and items are delivered to your table fairly quickly. We tried: Popcorn chicken $7.95 Thai Chicken Satay $8.95 for 4 Singapore Laksa Noodles $14.95 Beef in vine pepper sauce $13.95 I would've liked things to be stronger in flavor with more spice variety. Total price was $68.16 Plenty of metered parking on a Saturday around 5pm. There were just a few patrons dining

Love frequenting Geary for some great food and vibes! I've been to teawood numerous times usually later as they close ~9:30 for some yummy Hong Kong cafe food! Compared to other Hong Kong cafe style foods, their menu is limited but they specialize in different noodles, spaghettis, rice bowls and snacks. Service is always relatively quick and nice! They offer free hot tea in the house by the way :) definitely would come again whenever I'm near the area!

My third visit. Good food, reasonable, fast and friendly service and very bright and clean. Big booths or tables. When you pay, they give out scratchers like a thank you for coming. You can win a blind box gift...(a small toy or keychain, etc...) or win free drinks or snacks on your next visit.

Super cute cafe, we sat at the booths and really liked it, it was comfortable and aesthetic. Initially thought this was a Hong Kong cafe, but it's more of a fusion of different types of asian cuisines. I loved their popcorn chicken, something about it is super addicting. The chicken is tender and juicy in the inside, it's not super crunchy outside but has a crunchy soft like texture on the outside that gives it the classic popcorn chicken distinction. Flavor was good and went great with the sauces that were provided. The Deep Fried Pork chop w/ Signature Curry over rice tasted like a regular Japanese katsu curry, the curry itself was on the lighter side, but there was a good amount of katsu. The ice bear milk tea was super cute, but I think the ice bear might be mostly water? It felt like it diluted my drink a little bit when it melted in.

I come here every time I'm in the inner richmond area. Their taiwanese food is to die for. Everything is so flavorful and accurate to the taiwanese cafes over seas. Their presentation is adorable and their portion sizes are perfect (not too little to feel unsatisfied but not too much that you can't order multiple dishes without needing to haul takeout containers). I can't believe they aren't more busy during the weekends!

Really nice interior, reminds me of a modern restaurant in China! The menu is vast and authentic, ranging from drinks to desserts and noodles. We tried: - Taiwanese Pork Chop Noodles (4/5): The pork chop was amazing. However the noodles and seasoning themselves were pretty underwhelming and salty. The price was affordable given how much pork there was. - Signature Black rice yogurt drink (2/5): The rice was hard!! Kind of ruined the experience. The yogurt part was yummy though! - Rose Honey Wings (2/5): These were just so sweet and sticky. The sauce was gloopy and it was kind of an odd flavor profile, but the wings themselves were big. Service was really good! It was empty on a Sunday.

Randomly stumbled upon TeaWood Cafe and the food did not disappoint. The menu was quite scattered so I had no idea what to expect. I ordered their chicken cutlet noodle soup and the chicken was juicy and had a really crispy skin. The noodles soup was very umami. My party ordered several other items that were quite delicious. The honey rose fried chicken wings were quite interesting. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I also don't know how to describe it. You could really taste the honey and rose flavor though. I don't go to SF much due to parking, but luckily there was street parking in front and we came at off hours. If I'm ever in the area again, I would love to try their other items and their HK style desserts.

Date of Visit: 4/22/2025 If you like Hong Kong style dessert and drinks, and also Taiwanese, and Southeast Asian foods, you may wish to try TeaWood Cafe. Opened back in November 2024, the dining area was clean, new and spacious. The street parking was not too difficult during dinner time on Tuesday evening, and we were sited right away. Tea Wood Fruit Tea $7.25 Husband got the fruit tea with many fresh fruits inside. Iced Bear Milk Tea $6.96 I got the milk tea with a very cute bear shaped ice cube made with milk tea. A little too sweet without adjusting the sweetness and ice level. Popcorn Chicken with Marinated Minced Pork Sauce Over Rice $13.95 Husband got the Taiwanese style popcorn chicken with minced pork rice. Popcorn chicken was very good! Freshly deep fried with basil and was juicy and tender. Taiwanese Minced Pork Sauce Over Noodle $12.95 I got the minced pork noodle with egg and vegetables. A little salty and the noodle was a little too soft, but overall it was good.

Very nostalgic Chinese cafe with so many choices. We got the pork chop noodles, tan tan noodles and their super fries. They also have cute desserts in bathtubs but we didn't have the space to try it this time

Teawood cafe for full plated dishes, like baked pork chop in tomato sauce, curry beef brisket. Good milk tea here and it's bottomless. They have the typical HK mac and ham soup, egg sandwiches, and also other HK-style dishes.

Cute spot in Richmond for Asian fusion dishes -- tons of dessert options including boba, tofu pudding, yogurt drinks, french toast, and egg waffles! And so many food options too, ranging from Taiwanese dishes to Asian fusion pastas. I got the Taiwanese minced pork sauce over noodle, which was the perfect portion for a hungry person. The sauce was salty and flavorful, the noodles had good chew, and I liked the pickled veggies. All the prices here are super affordable, with most dishes being under $15. We got a glutinous rice and mango w tofu pudding dessert which came in a bathtub, which was cute but the mango was quite unripe so it wasn't my favorite. The rice topping was good though. We came on the last day of their scratch ticket / blind box promotion (for every $10 spent, you get 1 scratch ticket) and we got 6 tickets; 3 of them were gifts which were very cute -- a plush keychain, notepad, and pen. Service was friendly and pretty fast. Lots of seating inside. Good option for a casual quick dinner in the area.

Service: nice Ambiance: super casual New HK fusion cafe and I do love how spacious the interior is, but their menu is a bit more limited than other HK cafes in the city. FOOD: Mushroom Pasta in Truffle Cream Sauce (8/10) - love the creaminess and how much mushrooms they included, but wanted more truffle flavor Braised Beef Tendon (5/10)- it was a little too dry for my liking Tonkatsu Ramen (5/10)- the broth tasted like the instant ones we find at Costco, ramen noodles were okay. It was like a mix of Japanese and Chinese ramen which I'm not a fan of Coconut Coffee Latte (3/10)- tasted like straight up milk I feel like I didn't order the right dishes, like popcorn chicken or pork chop/minced pork over rice, mostly because I wasn't craving those dishes at the time. Even though I didn't like majority of what I ordered, I would come back to try their other dishes just to see if I ordered the wrong things the first time around.

Cute cafe with an extensive drink and food menu! Friendly waitstaff, though we only took our drinks to go. We got a scratch-off coupon from a restaurant in the Sunset advertising this cafe and after we had dinner, we felt like a drink. So we decided to venture to the Richmond to try them out! OUR PICKS: PURPLE UBE LATTE ~ I asked for lightly sweetened at 25% and added crispy boba aka crystal boba. I enjoyed this drink! Light foam and good flavor though I think it was even less than 25% sweetness, so if you like things a bit sweeter, I would go with 50%. 4/5 PASSION FRUIT GREEN TEA WITH COCONUT JELLY AND BOBA ~ 25% sweetness. It was average though like I said, it seemed even less than 25%. And passion fruit flavor was really light, but you can taste the green tea and the caffeine level was pretty high where it can keep you up if you're sensitive. Probably wouldn't order this again. 3/5 For a Monday night, there was a good amount of patrons dining here. Their menu looked intriguing, so I hope to visit again to try their food and other drinks.

Hong Kong Style Egg Waffle (港式鸡蛋仔)- cute presentation but otherwise the egg waffle was a bit on the softer side. Traditional Sesame Soup (石磨芝麻糊)- really cute tub and not too sweet. Though felt a bit watered down compared to other deserts places I have been in the city Overall a nice, clean place for Asian desert. Comes with free water or hot tea. Lots of other food/snack options which I probably try in the future. Though these are my usual go to deserts, I would prefer other places I've been too.

If you are a tea person, I would highly recommend you to come and try their tea section. They have very strong tea flavors. Came with mom and brother yesterday for lunch. Food was tasty as usual. My mom is a hongkongese, she drinks HK milk tea everyday and knows what is good HK milk tea. I took her here one time, then she came with her friends several times. Every time she comes here, the first thing she orders is a silky Thai milk tea. She likes the silky, creamy and strong tea flavor. Yesterday they also offered free hot tea. We guess that it was a jasmine green tea. It's so fragrant and had a strong tea flavor. It's a good combination. Loved it. :) We also got three blind boxes. Yeah!!! ;)

I was craving something homey and snacky with some sort of milk tea. This place hit all those cravings all at once. It's a very small place when you walk by and you may pass it up but inside had lots seating and tables. I enjoyed the quiet and airy ambiance inside and the servers were very attentive. Food was amazing and my milk tea was the cutest milk tea. I'll definitely be coming back! Try it out if you're in the neighborhood!

We wanted to check out this place as it's a new addition in the Richmond neighborhood. Came here on a Sunday night and it was fairly busy, but luckily no wait. The servers can take your order or there's also a QR code if you want to order online. We got to order a handful of foods and the portions were pretty generous. I definitely needed a takeout box afterwards. Inside, there's a handful of cute aesthetic decorations that include neon lights. They were also doing a grand opening promotion where spending X amount of dollars gives you scratch cards for prizes. The servers were really nice and helped us out promptly whenever we needed something. Food wise, it wasn't anything standout; however, still a good cafe spot to get food in the area. Will definitely be back next time to try their drinks.

Vibin'!! Oh, what a delectable surprise! The ramen noodles are on another extraplanar level of chewiness! They spaghetti with their unique sauces were also really good. We keep coming back because the food and unique dishes are indeed good! The snacks like the tofu and finger fries are great for parties and lounging too. Snacks on snacks on snacks!

Chashu don: 5/5. No complaints here! The pork belly was perfectly, thinly sliced, and everything was seasoned well. The serving is rather large so you really get a bang for your buck! Deep fried tofu: 5/5. Perfectly crispy on the outside and wonderfully juicy and soft on the inside. Perfectly seasoned with white pepper and basil. You can't go wrong with this one. Pink lychee: 3/5. The flavor was good but I felt that the size of the ice chunks could have been finer. They were blended to an awkward size that I had to first chew or melt down before swallowing. Service: A bit slow considering it wasn't very busy. Overall: Would definitely come here again!

Recently opened new cafe serving all types of Asian cuisines. Cute aesthetics and the food is pretty good. The Taiwanese Minced pork noodle was delicious. The fried chicken with curry rice was tasty but chicken a little dry. Cute & tasty drinks and desserts served in a mini bathtub. Service was excellent and very friendly. Located on Geary and 4th Ave.

I honestly came here for the bear jar, but my drink didn't come with it :') but it's ok I guess. Maybe some other time Anyways, street/neighborhood parking Good spot to eat and chat with friends! Good amount of seating and the place was clean. Service was friendly/checked up on us Items: - (4/5) Thai tea : standard/ can't really go wrong with it - (3/5) Clams and salmon in creamy mentaiko sauce: pasta was fine, but overall not really what we expected. We also thought the salmon would be the sashimi type (we should've looked up pictures first) - (4/5) Deep fried chicken cutlet with marinated minced pork sauce over rice: this one was goood!! The chicken was crispy, juicy, and seasoned well! Presentation was nice too. I would be interested if they added a fried pork cutlet option :) - (5/5) Super French fries with truffle sauce: very good, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside!! Flavors and sauce was good. I could eat it without sauce too. It was fun to eat / interesting

TeaWood Cafe is conveniently located in the inner Richmond on the Geary and a block away from Clement where you find the Clement farmers market. We went on a weekend and it was not crowded at all. We got two drinks: house milk tea and the sparkling yuzu drink. Both are decently average. I like the sparkling yuzu drink, it's refreshing. The house milk tea is pretty standard.

parking in the area was kinda rough on a saturday afternoon but not impossible! the staff was nice and the food came quick. iced bear milk tea- 4.3/5 actually really nice black tea flavor! the milk tea bear keeps the drink from watering down too much as it melts. deep fried tofu- 4.2/5 love the seasoning on the tofu. it's soft tofu and not the usual firm tofu so i wasn't expecting the texture but it was still pretty good! tom yum pasta- 5/5 really like the tomyum flavor in the pasta. it was creamy too which kept the pasta from being too strong. mushroom and truffle pasta- 4/5 not the strongest fan of truffle but it was balanced well with the creaminess of the sauce so it became mild enough for me to enjoy. taiwanese minced pork noodles- 3.8/5 i forgot to take a picture but the soy sauce egg on top was so nice and jammy. the noodles had a nice and chewy texture but it was slightly on the salty side.

My family and I came here for lunch on a Sunday. It wasn't crowded. We ordered Thai iced tea, fried tofu, braised beef noodle soup, chicken with salted egg cream sauce pasta, popcorn chicken with marinated minced pork over rice. Here are my reviews of the food: Thai iced tea: too sweet; it could use more tea and less sugar. Fried tofu: nice and crispy but lacks flavor. Needs more seasoning. Braised beef noodle soup: broth has nice flavor and the beef is tender and flavorful. Although it is not the best beef noodle soup I've had; I would order this again. Chicken with salted egg cream sauce: The cream sauce is good and the pasta is cooked just right. But the chicken doesn't taste that good. Popcorn chicken: Tasted average. It could use a bit more seasoning. Marinated minced pork over rice: I did not like this dish at all. The minced pork tasted a bit off; perhaps the meat is not fresh. Would not be ordering this dish again. Overall, I think the food is average. I would come back to try other dishes. Giving them benefit of the doubt that perhaps we had ordered the wrong dishes. This place has a wide selection of beverages. Wait staff is friendly. Comfortable seating. I would give this place another try.

I've been here quite a few times already because it's that good. Really yummy tasty food here for a good price. Boba quality varies depending on the day as I've noticed the black pearls can sometimes be too hard (but when it is soft, it's sweet and delicious). Waiters here are super sweet and fast. The popcorn chicken and beef noodle soup are to die for, definitely try these out! The place is cute for a casual hangout or date!

This is a cool little place with a variety of snacks, desserts, and drinks. This could be a nice hang out spot with friends. Their food is quite good and drinks are large. I've gone twice so far and the service has been great each time. They're doing a promotion right now where you can get one ticket for every $10 spent. Each tickets comes with prizes ranging from a free dish, money off, or blind plushy box. I was lucky to get two blind boxes. Must try!

I love the idea of HK cafes! Their so novel so I was anticipating the opening of this cafe. This space before was a ramen shop that has long since closed during the beginning of the pandemic. I'm glad teawood cafe chose this location as it's on Geary a major street and ehs they did with the interior is amazing. The inside looks so spacious and inviting. I love the HK themed tables and the aesthetic overall. I've come through and got their drinks each time. First time the red bean milk tea which has a very pleasantly balanced flavor. Second time I got the thai tea and the flavor was very deep rich flavor. I think this is a welcome addition to the Richmond district and I wouldn't mind coming back.

I love HK cafes and stumble upon this place on Yelp and decided to go for lunch on a Monday. Parking was quite difficult as expected in the Richmond district. There was a few parties ahead of us, but we got seated quickly with our son in a stroller. The menu is very extensive, lots of drinks, desserts and snack options. I was looking for a baked porkchop over rice, but I did not see that. There was generous portions of meat in our dishes: Tonkatsu Ramen, Braised Beef Noodle Soup, and Deep Fried Chicken Cutlet w/ Minced Pork Sauce Over Noodle. There were about 7 slices of Cha Siu in the Ramen and in my Braised Beef Noodle. The Deep Fried Chicken Cutlet tasted like Popcorn Chicken, tasty and meaty. The food was tasty, not too salty, which is what I prefer. Drinks were also refreshing and tasty, but took a very long time to get. We had to remind the server about our drinks and didn't get them until the end of our meal. Overall, food is good, I would definitely come back to try other items, especially their desserts and the cute little bear drinks! Atmosphere is clean, cute and comfortable. Service needs improvement, but there was only one person waiting tables and one person making drinks.

Teawood is one of my family's new favorites. It's rare to find legit Taiwanese food in SF for some reason, and this place has it. This is what we got: Fried chicken over minced pork noodle (B02) - really good. Chicken is nicely fried, great flavor, and very juicy. Noodles are really good too, very good texture and flavor. Popcorn chicken with minced pork rice (RE04) - also super good. Similar to above but with rice and popcorn chicken style. Braised beef noodle soup (N01) - I really enjoyed this. It has the right taste, the noodles are bouncy, and the meat is very very tender. They also give A LOT of meat. Fried pork chop curry rice (RE05) - pretty good, for some reason one of my kid's favorites. So food is really good, though I think the menu could benefit from a redesign because it's confusing to read. But so happy this place is around now. Will definitely be coming back often!

First time trying this place saw the grand opening sign outside. I like their interior and ambiance, reminds me of eating at an authentic Cantonese / HK cafe. Decided to give the Minced pork rice with chicken cutlet a try (very traditional Taiwanese dish) The food did not disappoint!! Also service is good here as well. And parking can be challenging during rush hours but if you get lucky to find parking near by. Give this place a try!

TeaWood in San Francisco is a nice addition to the Richmond district. It took over the long time Genki Ramen spot. We came with our curiosity since it had a bunch of desserts and dishes I love at other restaurants. We were seated with no issue as we were one of the only customers. We ordered a variety of items and all of them were tasty and exceeded my expectations going in. The Tantanmen was a standout for me. The rich, creamy broth had just the right level of flavor, perfectly complementing the chewy noodles and tender pork slice toppings. It exceeded my expectations for a Taiwanese-style noodle dish. They did have the spicy sauce on the side which was a nice touch since I had a kiddo with me. The Super French Fries were unique as they sounded. They were extremely long strips of potato! Crisp and golden on the outside, with a fluffy interior, they paired wonderfully with the honey mustard dip. A simple yet fun comfort food item. We also ordered Popcorn Chicken with Marinated Minced Pork Sauce Over Rice. The savory pork sauce blended seamlessly with the rice and added an extra layer of flavor to the already delicious chicken. This reminded me of something you get from Shihlin. The Iced Bear Milk Tea stole the show in terms of presentation. My daughter loved this so much. The cute bear-shaped ice cube sitting atop the drink was a playful and creative detail. The milk tea itself was smooth and well-balanced, making it a good pick for tea lovers and those looking for a fun IG moment. The boba we added were also good, very rarely do I complement restaurant boba. The service stood out as warm and accommodating, with a few understandable hiccups given the restaurant's early days. Despite a minor mishap with our order, the staff went above and beyond to rectify the situation. They comped the accident and even provided an extra order of popcorn chicken free of charge, which was a generous touch. They also kindly helped pack up our leftovers, leaving a great impression. Despite being new, TeaWood has high potential, with food that consistently exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a Taiwanese-HK café fusion spot with comforting dishes and thoughtful service, this place is worth checking out. I'll definitely be back to see how they grow from here! Oh I forgot! They give scratch cards for coupons or prizes for every $10 spent for their grand opening! We made out with some fun blind boxes and a $2 coupon. Good way to get people to come back.

The food was decent. Wasn't the best Taiwanese food but I appreciated the variety and extensive drink menu. It's a fun experience with kids cuz they have scratch cards at the end and you can get free food or drinks for your next visit. The staff was friendly and the food came out really fast which was nice.

This place was solid! Got the Laksa and the minced pork preserves vegetable noodles, needed more of the vegetables I think. Both had real good textured noodles and flavorful. The star, I smelled rich tea brewing! The tea smelled so good I had to get the milk tea with boba and it was good!!! one of the best I've had in SF.

4.25 stars Considering the fact that this is a café, the noodle soup was okay. The Tom Yum broth only tasted like lemongrass with spices, but nothing much. I was hoping for more flavor within the broth, but it met expectations. However, the Mango Gi Gi was excellent. It was silky smooth with a rich mango flavor. All the food and drinks were fresh. The staff were incredibly friendly and quick. I also enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and calm music. The overall price is standard comparing to other restaurants. I enjoyed the idea of distributing coupons giving free drinks, blind boxes, and a few dollars off (only effective until January 31st, 2025)

The place has that hip youthful vibe of the newer Asian snack places, but the food is definitely a step above those places. It mixes HK, Taiwanese and Japanese together. We had the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken which was very tender and fresh tasting...10x better than the BK chicken nuggets at the end of the block while costing not even 2x as much. Comes with a sweet sauce and a honey mustard. We also had the fried tofu appetizer... well executed and not overdone. Comes with a sweet sauce. The others in my party had the Black Garlic Ramen and Tonkatsu Ramen. They praised the soup's flavor and inclusion of the tamago egg, but the noodle is slightly thicker than they like. The thickness is similar to chow mein. I had the Taiwanese noodle with pork chop. The pork came deep fried i think...lightly breaded. Tender enough to not need a knife. The dish also included blanched Shanghai bok choy and some type of pickled vegetable. Noodle was like chow mein, too. Portions were big enough that we took at least a little bit home. Bill was about $87 befor We also shared a Taro Root Sago which was OK. Seemed lacking in taro and tapioca, BUT I don't know how sago is supposed to be. Cute place with booth seating, large screen TV and neon signage for fun selfies. They offer a coupon/scratch off thing for spending a certain amount of money to keep you coming back. (UPDATE: Promotion is over) We went at 5pm on a Saturday night and it was empty but when we left the place was half full. They have a kiosk that you can order and pay in advance, but we were old school and made them come to our table to take our order. Parked about 2 blocks away at a meter. (UPDATE: Been back a couple of times. The super fries are OK. Crispy and seem airfryed, but they lack salt and they serve it with a mayo, not ketchup. It lacked that fried potato taste that hooks me into eating more than one fry and chip. The calamari was a bit tough and the sweet and sour sauce it comes with is not as appropriate as cocktail saunce. Too sweet. The sesame balls with red bean inside were perfect. )
