TeaWood Cafe

Teawood Cafe was a bit underwhelming. I tried it after seeing it on TikTok, but the milk tea with the bear was a letdown...it had almost no tea flavor and tasted more like soy milk. The appetizers were decent: the super long fries with truffle dip and fried tofu were okay, but nothing to rave about. The fried pork chop noodles were hit or miss, the pork chop was good, but the noodles were overly salty, even after mixing in the sauce.

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!

these purple rice yogurts are SO GOOD. We tried the original one first and then loved it so much we ordered 4 more - one more original, two mango, and one matcha. They taste a little sweet, a little sour, and have the perfect about of chewy texture served cold. Comes in a cute reusable container with a straw. Definitely coming back here for these again 😍

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.

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.

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.

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.

Was craving beef noodle soup in SF and came across Teawood Cafe. The menu is very broad, with everything from Taiwanese dishes to Thai flavors & even ramen. We ordered : * Braised Beef Noodle Soup (3/5) : I had high hopes for this one. It smelled amazing and looked great, but the broth was way too salty. The noodles were perfectly chewy and the beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender and flavorful, but the broth really threw it off. I asked if they could replace it, and the staff was super accommodating. They gave me a lighter clear soup instead, which was much more enjoyable. * Minced Pork in Thai Spicy Spaghetti (4/5) : A bit oily, but the flavor made up for it. Really well seasoned with a solid spicy kick. The fresh cut chilies take it up a notch, definitely for those who can handle heat! * Fried Tofu (5/5) Simple but excellent. Perfectly crispy on the outside, light inside, great snack to share. The cafe has a nice, modern interior & street parking was easy (we got a spot right out front). Overall some hits & misses, but the service was awesome and the menu has good variety. Would come back to try their other stuff!

TeaWood's menu featured quite a few drinks, desserts and various entrees. We started with the super fries with the truffle sauce. They arrived hot and crispy - good with the truffle sauce. The pandan chicken seemed interesting but just tasted like satay chicken pieces. These are made with peanut butter, so caution to anyone with a nut allergy. Cant say there was any pandan flavor. They were ok. Hubs ordered the Braised Beef noodles. Not quite what he expected as the broth was more on the vinegary side. Kiddo ordered the black garlic ramen - he said it was ok. I ordered the pork cutlet with curry. The pork pieces were thin and crunchy. I was expecting more of a Japanese curry but this one was more thin - meh. There was a special - buy 2 coconut puddings and get 1 free. Kiddo ordered the pandan one. The pandan jelly was on the harder side. Coconut pudding was ok. Also bought the Thai tea one - tea flavor was subtle and the mango one. Also ordered the tofu pudding with the taro and sweet potato balls and pandan jelly topped with coconut milk. Nice presentation and the tofu pudding was smooth, but there was no flavor and no sweetness whatsoever. The taro and sweet potato balls were also hard.

Teawood Cafe was a bit underwhelming. I tried it after seeing it on TikTok, but the milk tea with the bear was a letdown...it had almost no tea flavor and tasted more like soy milk. The appetizers were decent: the super long fries with truffle dip and fried tofu were okay, but nothing to rave about. The fried pork chop noodles were hit or miss, the pork chop was good, but the noodles were overly salty, even after mixing in the sauce.

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.

9/8/25 - My partner and I went here in person for the first time and we loved the mango sago drink and the fries, but the noodle dishes were really salty. I think if we came back, we'd just got for snacks and dessert. Also I wanted to go, because I thought we can buy blind boxes, but it turns out you need to spend $20+ to get scratch cards and you can only get a blind box of you win on the scratch card.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I ordered the braised beef noodle soup, and it was amazing, the broth was rich and flavorful, the beef was tender, and the noodles had just the right texture. The waiters were also very friendly and have great smiles. On top of the great food and service, the restaurant also has a fun promotion. If you spend $20 or more, you get a scratch card for a chance to win a blind box (with super cute stuffed animal inside) or other coupons. Highly recommend this place if you're craving comforting noodle soup and a little extra surprise with your meal.

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!

Good food. Reasonable price. Cute atmosphere. Service was fast considering only two people were working the floor and beverages.

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.

overall this is a good late night spot to come to for a meal/snack. the menu is extensive so you have a lot of options. we got the chicken karaage with pork sauce and the fried pork chop with noodles. i liked the chicken karaage but the fried pork chop dish was on the saltier side. the long fries were the best part it was crispy and black truffle sauce went well with it. i like how you can order from the qr code from the table, our last dessert item did take awhile to come and we had to ask the waitress but i reccomend you check this spot out for yourself with the extensive menu you're bound to find something you like!

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.

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.

We've visited TeaWood Cafe 5+ times since opening with various family and friends, and everyone we've brought has loved it without fail. The food and drinks are great, and service has always been friendly and welcoming. The first time we visited our waiters were Koi and Leo who were wonderful. The stand-outs that we get every time are the popcorn chicken, fried tofu, and super fries. Many desserts are less sweet than what you'd get at other similar shops. The entrees are surprisingly generous in portion and delicious! We were impressed by the salmon and clam pasta and mushroom black truffle pasta. The sauces were delicious and seafood cooked well, not overdone at all. On weekdays it seems quieter, we recently came on a Monday evening and only saw 3-4 other sit-down diners over 3 hours. On weekends they definitely see more traffic and we've seen the restaurant full! Highly recommend this place, whether it's just for a quick boba stop, dessert after dinner, or a full meal, we've been to TeaWood for every occasion. Hope to see them in the neighborhood for a long time.

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.

Great popcorn chicken and quick service. The interior was roomy and felt like a fun place to hang

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!!! ;)

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

The foods and drinks were good. I liked the fried chicken with curry rice. We will be back next time! The ramen was also yummy and had lots of flavors!

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

I'd been curious about this little place and today had the opportunity to have lunch there. GREAT Choice!! The restaurant is bright and clean, and the friendly staff greeted me with a smile. That doesn't always happen. I was offered hot tea and ice water. The tea came in a 16 oz mug and had been steeping for a while so was not the usual "hot water and here's a tea bag". The menu was extensive representing different Chinese styles as well as Japanese and Korean - all with a wink to a fun time (blind boxes, scratch-off coupons, etc.). A wide selection that kids would enjoy. The menu itself was bright, colorful, and full of photos which were representative of the food. No bait and switch. The photos, not just a list of offerings, were really useful in helping me select my dishes. I had the sliced beef in vine pepper sauce on noodles. Tasty with a good amount of beef. Besides the drink photo attached here, I had the creme brulee for dessert. What? Creme brulee? Yes, and it was really good. If I was forced to find something negative, the sugar crust could have been burned (brulee'd :) ) a bit more, but that is nit picking. I will order it again. It was creamy, really good, and just the right size dessert. And in an Asian restaurtant! (Was this a nod to the Vietnamese? ;) ) The prices were right in line with other Asian restaurants of a similar style. The dessert choices were extensive - something I will have in future visits. The service was quick, friendly, and helpful in negotiating the extensive menu. Parking is on the street and the side streets offer lots of metered parking. Or take the 38 bus.

date & time: friday february 7, 2025 @ 2:30pm party of 3 scene: couples & besties in miu miu sweaters, pleated skirts, riding boots music: 90's & early 2000's aliyah, ashanti & nelly decor: enter this aesthetic eatery & slide into a comfy booth vibe: super cute young friendly staff devour: braised beef, fried chicken cutlet w/ rice, pork cutlet w/ rice & mango w/ coconut noodles total: $48.68

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.

Got their salmon clam pasta and fried chicken curry. Both didn't disappoint. I'd come back for it again Service, online app ordering but they have servers too Ambiance: casual, hard to find parking

They had tantanmen ramen! Had a great time with the kids. The loved the K-pop vibes and popcorn chicken.

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.

I wanted to try this place for the street food. The popcorn chicken and fried Tofu was the boom! The Seafood Laksa pasta was very tasty. But, the Lasksa noodle soup was just lacking. The Pork cutlet tomato pasta was filled with tomato flavor and the pork is tender. But, the Tomato noodle soup also lacking! Creamy pastas, great! Noodle soups, avoid.

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.

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...

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.

Food was very yummy and service was great. The food had excellent taste and there were a lot of varieties of options you could choose from. There is rice, spaghetti, ramen, and a lot of appetizers. Their prices are also pretty good and fair. We definitely will come back again!
