"FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH WAS SO GOOD AND CRISPY, SO WERE THE TATOR TOTS!!! The sandwich was extremely juicy and had a nice salt and black pepper rub/flavor u could actually taste. Great great price for the high quality and quantity you're getting!!"

"Yum! New favorite. The salads are fresh, nice portions and the dressings/sauces are so delicious. The chicken was crispy, tasty and not skimpy. Loved the crispy brussel sprouts even with no glaze. So often we pay +$20 for a salad and it's not worth it but these really are in my opinion. SO much better than other "salad" places. I'll be ordering again soon!"

"I ordered the 5 pc. tender combo with cheese fries. The crew filled the container with fries and was generous with the cheese. My. tenders were crispy and dripping with sauce. Good times. 5 pc Crispy Tender Combo"
"1 star. Honestly some of the worst wings I've ever ordered. The drums were so tiny I'm not convinced they came from a full-grown chicken. Mostly bone, barely any meat. You finish the whole 15-piece order and you're still hungry. And the "flavored" wings? Dripping in grease but somehow no flavor and NO sauce. It's like they took frozen chicken and drowned it in a couple bottles of oil to make it look like it has something on it. If you want the actual sauce you'd expect from any wing place, you have to pay extra. Calling these "spicy wings" is misleading. Compared to every other late-night option out there, these are at the bottom. I'd honestly rather stay hungry all night than order these again."

"Best kimbap in SF! I'm always a little leery of virtual brands but this place is so solid. I've ordered twice now and the 2nd time was even better. The Tuna Mayo Kimbap is huge, tastes fresh, and is crammed full of goodies like fish cake, imitation crab, and shredded egg. Korean mom approval quote: "not too much rice." Their Fried Seaweed Roll (3PCS) is also fresh, obviously homemade, and has a surprising and pleasant peppery kick. I love dipping it into the Tteokbokki sauce. The Tteokbokki itself is nice if a bit bare bones (just dduk and fishcake) but the sauce is spicy and tasty."
"Bulgogi Kimbap was drier than expected... Musubi Kimbap was tasty but did not look anything like the picture so a bit misleading... Fried Dumpling (4PCS) were very tasty and a great deal at 2 for 1 price. I do think that including 2 portions of the dipping sauce instead of just 1 would have been nice..."

"I would recommend the Nashville tender and fries if you're looking to satisfy a fried food craving, but just know that this place takes over an hour to make and pack the food even if it isn't busy inside. The wings were large in size but flavorless, a little soggy and pink inside like the other reviews say. Go tender or chicken sandwich over wings."

"Excellent. Food is very flavorful and freshly made.. Cooked with love and to perfection. Arrived hot and neatly packed, good-sized portions. It's worth the affordable price. My 1st time ordering from this place will definitely be ordering again. Curry Chicken Rice Plate咖喱鸡飯 It was so yummy! Cooked to perfection. Loved it. Lots of flavor. The only issue I had was it only had 3 small size pieces of chicken. It was more of a potatoe and onion curry than a chicken curry. Other than that, everything was perfect. Sweet and Sour Cod Fillet Rice 甜酸鱼飯 Yummy. "Cooked to perfection. Made with love. Shrimp Dumplings (4)虾餃 Yummy. Cooked to perfection. Made with love."
"I was looking thru doordash for dinner and found this place. I always read reviews and look at pics before ordering and this place had good reviews so i decided to place an order. I ordered 2 combo plates and wontons in hot oil. The food arrived quickly and was still hot upon arrival. I asked for a side of hot sauce but they didn't include it. Oh well. The food: -Prawns with Scrambled Eggs Rice 滑蛋蝦飯 was very good. Kind of a basic dish but it was done right. Perfectly cooked shrimp and salt level on the eggs. -Chicken with String Beans Rice Plate豆仔鸡飯 was delicious as well. Cooked in a yummy black bean sauce with perfectly crunchy green beans and moist chicken. Chow mein was good too. -Wonton With Hot Oil红油抄手 was enjoyable. The hot oil is actually hot and the wontons were good. All of the dishes i ordered were great and the portions were generous. The prices are also super affordable here which i appreciate. The quality of the food exceeded my expectations based on the price. I will be definitely be ordering from here again."
