"A great restaurant serving authentic Chinese cuisine and very affordable as well. And like many Chinese restaurants... You got some Decisions to make regarding what kinds of food you Want to eat. Pretty much whatever food you select in a Chinese restaurant... You know you just can't go wrong for everything is delicious and this place is really no different. Compare Chinese restaurants is kinda like splitting hairs or what kind of car/motorcycle you wanna buy so thread wisely. I recommend this restaurant if you happen to be in the Clement street area right next to the Golden Gate park. This place accepts cash and plastics (Debit /Credit cards). Just come starving for they serve huge portions!"

Cheap Chinese food. Can't go wrong if you order what you like. Lol. Definitely recommend the fish in claypot dish. The food comes out fast so make sure it's what you want because it'll be impossible to change your order.

Everything was fresh and delicious. The Mongolian beef was tender and full of flavor. The onions were lightly grilled to perfection. The hot and sour soup was tangy and spicy, the shrimp being a nice touch. The Chinese broccoli with oyster sauceperfectly cooked and lightly crisp. I left very full and very satisfied. View menu

During Covid they had to let their servers go so the wait to get your food is long and slow. But the food is so good, I didn't care. My favorite Chinese restaurant on Clement Street. Update: the wait is a little shorter and they have been closing earlierthan usual. Best to call in your order early and give them time.

The service is quick and the food is always reliably good. While there can occasionally be a wait, it’s usually not an issue. The menu offers a wide variety of options, ensuring you never tire of any one dish. Parking is relatively easy, and the restaurant is located on Clement Street, where you'll find plenty of other shops and restaurants nearby. View menu

The food was so good, the waitress was polite, I will definitely buy food from here again, they have large tables so you can go with family or friends! Plenty of food and the prices are not bad most plates are 10-15$ (not including sea food)... and I noticed all their customers were locals not tourists, I live near SF but definitely would be in the tourist category I guess so I'm glad I found a place where the locals eat!

Authentic Chinese food in an unassuming location. They give you complimentary tea which was extremely appreciated in this cold weather. House made chili oil is on the table which is flavorful and a little spicy. Got the pork pot stickers which you can tell are made onsite. Six come with an order and they're pretty large, so they can definitely be shared. Also ordered the whole Peking duck. The skin was so perfect and crispy and the slices were a great size. The buns were soft and pillowy and it came with very thinly sliced green onions and cilantro as well. Service was prompt.

"Earlier this year Salty 's was featured in one of the top 100 places to eat in the Bay Area in 2022, and after trying it a couple times, it 's easy to see why. Quality and flavor, great customer service, it checks all those boxes. I occasionally visit the 24 hour fitness on Van Ness, and Salty 's happens to be just few short blocks away which makes it perfect when I 'm looking for a post-workout sandwich. And for those that know me, I love me my sandwiches. On my latest visit, I decided to go with the 'Glorious B sandwich, which come with turkey, bacon, avocado, pepper jack, veggies, and garlic mayo. The blend of flavors and high quality of the turkey is no wonder it 's at the very top of the menu list. It 's one of those sandwiches, that you can bring to park and not need a ton of napkins to get through. It was well put together, with the ratio of all the ingredients matching well. Nothing overpowering, just sandwich perfection. The size of the sandwich I thought was the perfect size for my appetite. As I 've gotten older I can 't put down as much food as I used to, and after one-half I knew I could 've stopped eating, be content, saved the rest for later. But of course I ate the whole thing and nothing sounds better than taking a quick power nap right after. I love that their menu has so many different sandwich combinations, so definitely take time to check their menu before calling-in/walking-in to order because it 'll definitely save you some time. On my latest visit, I was in and out in 10 minutes. Definitely towards the top of my list of sandwiches in this part of town!"
