Sophyan JulioMarch 26, 2016Not your average Cantonese Hong Kong style diner. Clean inviting interior and cheap food! Go for the jook, fried noodles and fried rice.
Katie YamadaJuly 5, 2016delicious and the staff is SOOO friendly. get the BBQ pork rice rolls, the dishes are kind of small, be careful what time you go because there can be a massive line..
MarcJanuary 21, 2021Esquire: I love new-school takes on SF Chinatown from chefs like Brandon Jew. Restaurants like Wo’s are more important than ever, serving as connection to past, w/o dipping into schmaltz or nostalgia
_January 25, 2016Reopened in their new location with the same food! BBQ pork rice rolls are still delicious. Their chow fun is still as oily as ever. Prices went up.
R BJanuary 10, 2019The rice was good and pork bun also. Cheap, cheap, cheap and open later in the evening. Life saver for a jet leg guy.- Emily LeungJanuary 7, 2018Great hefty wontons, and beef brisket. Fried rice/noodles done well and not very oily!
Anthony ChenAugust 14, 2016BBQ pork rolls are just alright. Would come back for the pork and preserved egg jook + Chinese donuts.
AliceMay 14, 2017Dong nai cha is so legit. It tastes exactly the same as the one in Tsui Wah in Hong Kong
Anja Z.August 25, 2019The portions are enormous and they gladly wrap up your leftovers to go, but no one takes it, so they end up throwing away massive amounts of food, which is pretty depressing to witness :(
Felix SolisSeptember 19, 2017Un 'must' si vienes al barrio chino: la comida está riquísima y nada mal de precio! De aquí salió la famosa camarera que gritaba a todo el mundo xD
