"This used to be an easy 5 star rating; I've been a loyal and frequent customer of New China House for about 15 years! They've consistently been my favorite restaurant in this entire area, and the only local Chinese restaurant I patronized that's how much I loved the food I used to get. I absolutely LOVED their Monk's menu (particularly the Monk's Beef (seitan) with Broccoli, which I nearly always ordered), and the Crispy Eggplant! The Vegetable Chow Mai Fun was tasty, too. I also always included the Vegetable Spring Rolls and Vegetable Dumplings (fried) with my orders. Because I'd been ordering the Monk's Beef with Broccoli for so many years, I didn't even know about the Crispy Eggplant until about a year ago... when I promptly fell in love with it, and ordered it repeatedly thereafter (alongside the Monk's). I cannot BEGIN to convey my disappointment when they suddenly stopped offering the Crispy Eggplant. However, I assumed they still had my old favorites... but no! The ENTIRE Monk's category has been removed from the menu! AND even the Vegetable Dumplings have disappeared, too! Alllllll the dishes the only dishes I loved are gone! New China House, say it ain't so! Please bring them back!"

"Absolutely adorable! I came for the food and stayed for the amazing service. This has quickly become my favorite spot in San Francisco. As someone who follows a plant-based diet, I found myself feeling a bit envious of a friend who ordered the dry-fried chicken. Thankfully, they offered dry-fried mushrooms, which I decided to try. I had no idea what to expect, but they were fantastic, featuring the same deliciously crunchy outer layer and a tender interior that's easy to bite into. Naturally, I had to order the green beans too. The portion sizes and flavors are impressively generous. Plus, they even offer brown rice! The standout part of my experience, though, was the service. The staff at the front engaged in conversation with the guests and even supported local trick-or-treating. This place truly embodies the spirit of your friendly neighborhood Spiderman!"

"I had a terrible experience with the food at Ken's. The simple platter featured spring rolls that were undercooked and had a fishy taste, shrimp tempura that was greasy, and wings that tasted cheap and frozen, despite being labeled as wings. The teriyaki chicken tasted overwhelmingly of vinegar, and to make matters worse, there were no sauces included with the delivery. The triple delight dish was equally disappointing. I definitely will not be ordering from Ken's again."

"We have eaten here for years but had stopped going for awhile. So we decided to go back. The all you can eat sushi had actually gone down in price! The menu for all you can eat is somewhat more limited than other places we have been but still a nice variety. The sushi is fresh and well prepared and presented. I wish they would offer a sashimi menu as well. The Chinese food is always quite good. The hot and sour soup was very good but wish it had a little more sour . The staff were attentive and very friendly."

"Absolute worst Chinese restaurant I have ever eaten at.I ordered the lunch special the other day two of them and got overcharged by over a dollar on each And states on the front of the menu that I have ,if you spend $30 you get a free crab rangoon or sushi roll so I asked the lady about that And she said they don't use the coupons anymore. So I asked her for an updated menu and whenever the food came I got the same exact menu that I already have. I highly recommend nobody ever order from this Chinese restaurant it's horrible!!!! And to top it off with my order I ordered a smoked salmon roll which was supposed to be cooked it came raw and the salmon had greenish brownish spots on it very nasty didn't even eat it I threw it away!!!"

"Pleasantly surprised by the food and quick service. Wanted American Chinese and decided to give this place a try despite the reviews— so glad I did! Ordered online and it was ready when it said it would be. Went inside and saw how food was cooked fresh and to order. It was clean and very deliciously smelling. Ordered an appetizer sample and it smelled and tasted fresh and with quality. Got an order of general gau’s for my husband he and liked his meal. The flavors of the lo mein had that wok flavor and I was impressed. The food was fried well but not only. Will definitely come here again."

"when we reached our 915 clock reservation, there was no one at the Hostess-Desk. I went to talk to someone in the takeout area to see what's going on, they told me to wait for someone to come out. we waited a good 4.5 minutes until the host finally comes. He didn't apologize for waiting. I just set us up. the waiter didn't say hello or imagined himself. it was just ready to take away our order immediately. eating was okay, nothing special. overall it was just ok. the customer service was missing and again it was not special. I wouldn't go back. too many other good restaurants around with good service and eating to deal with it. it's too bad, I was very excited to eat here."

"I don't usually write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience. The food here is quite good, especially since they don't use MSG like many other restaurants. Prices are fair and reasonable, even cheaper than many places in the neighborhood, despite inflation and the pandemic. The service when placing my order was excellent. They provide a generous portion of food—definitely more than a half portion, in my experience. The delivery was prompt and the food arrived hot. I've been here a few times, and I will definitely return."

"I haven't dined at this restaurant in years due to a previous disappointing experience, and unfortunately, nothing has improved. The pork fried rice was overcooked and filled with chunks of white rice. While the boneless spare ribs were tasty, there were only 4-5 pieces included. The orange chicken lacked enough orange sauce, although it was decent. The service was good, but overall, I wouldn't choose to order from here again. The delivery service rated a 4, with the meal type being dinner and costing $30-50 per person. The food received a 1 rating, while the atmosphere and service were both rated a 4."

"Chaplin's is absolutely amazing. I took my husband here to celebrate his birthday. We easily found street parking. We were greeted warmly at the door and seated immediately. The decor is great. We loved the theme and the old Charlie Chaplin silent movies playing on the projector. Our server was friendly and attentive. He provided great insight on the menu and suggested some delicious bites. All the food was perfection. We ordered the Limelight Guava Daiquiri for drinks, Chaplins buns and fried pork gyoza for appetizers, the Miso and Shoyu ramen our meals, and the chocolate lava cake for dessert. We've found a new favorite and will definitely make ourselves regulars."

"Really good, I got it delivered and the service/delivery man was very sweet! The food was nice and hot. I got the general Tso chicken, and it was crispy and flavorful. I got egg drop soup too and it was excellent, and I got a spring roll it was alright, very crispy though : . The crab cheese wonton though was really good and I enjoyed that so much! I would definitely go here again and try more dishes. Also I got a good amount, very generous!"

"I absolutely loved the lunch from this place! I went to Chinatown to get some shrimp lo mein, but it was either too expensive or I felt like I was being treated poorly, so I left. With only half an hour for lunch, I walked into this restaurant and found exactly what I was craving. The food was hot, delicious, and only around $4, allowing me to return to work on time. I really love this spot! <3"

"I like large fried rice with pork and shrimp. I never feel like it 's enough so I always ask for $5 more pork AND $5 more shrimp. I have placed this exact order at MANY Chinese restaurants from the Bronx to Brooklyn and they always tell me that it 's so much that they actually have to put it in a short alluminum pan. This place gave it to me in the regular large box ? she put the bag on the counter and I felt like I was obligated to follow through with the order so I paid the $30.50 but I was walking to the door and everything was saying NO DEAL . I apologized a few times and asked for a refund. (Never made it out the door, definitely didn 't touch the food or even box. Just plastic bag) she was LIVID snatched the bag tossed the money on the counter. I didn 't think that was necessary but I understood her frustration. This spot just isn 't for me. Plus $30 and no free Beverage."

"This was the most dissatisfying and disappointing dining experience I have ever had. The meat was tough and overcooked, the fried pork was dry, and the chow mei fun lacked flavor. Furthermore, the portion sizes were significantly smaller than other nearby Chinese restaurants. If they are charging $10 per serving, they should provide more substantial and enjoyable meals. This is especially important if they want to retain customers and stay afloat during the pandemic. My advice to them is to improve their food quality in order to survive in the current climate."
