The only way you would know about this place is through word of mouth or if you know someone local. Pretty hidden spot - or atleast you wouldn't notice it until you see a line outside. I came here on a Thursday night and there was a queue outside the place like around 8:30 PM. So the place is definitely popular. Given the wait times - I decided to go with a to go box. The ambience is pretty average - it's a small place. They pretty much cook in front of you seperated by a table. Talking about food - it's very simple and cheap. I tried Tofu Mushroom and I liked it. Not much going on - just simple homely food. Maybe that's what pull people here.

Tiny, diner style, Asian comfort food spot in the mission district. Friday night, we waited about 45mins for a spot to sit for dinner. Ordered the tra leaf salad, egg rolls, samsusas, curry chicken, mango chicken, cold noodles, and some other stuff. Overall it's good, relatively healthy. Fresh ingredients and made to order. Taste wise, it was fine. Not many negatives. Nothing fancy to honest. It is very affordable for 2025 and being in the heart of the city which is definitely a plus. If you want a simple, somewhat hearty, affordable, Asian meal that's made to order, this is your spot. Otherwise, it's not fancy and nothing impressive. I think to go orders are better here if you're in a rush. Might be back.

In short, it is not worth it! Sure, the prices are cheap but that is the only thing this place has going for itself. The person working the counter was extremely rude and angry, and it seemed like she was angry that I was there to buy food lol. The food itself was extremely average. Had the tea salad, and it was very ordinary. The house noodles were bland, and while the portion size was generous, it definitely needed more flavour. Do not recommend this place!

You want the house Garlic Noodles and nothing else. We are obsessed with chili crisps, but these noodles are as pure as they come. Don’t try to fix what isn’t broken. Come in for a quick bowl of these bad boys. Don’t change a thing. You won’t be disappointed.

Cute small and family owned business, tight seating area in front of the kitchen so if that’s not your thing you can order to go. Tasty food and easy to share, very simple menu with homemade vibes, we really enjoyed watching how they prepare each dish.
