Menu 12/2024

I may be an outlier in my experience with Chic n' Time as I thought everything was just ok. My visit took place about a month ago. I opted for a bowl of shrimp pho and had a few bites of the spicy noodle soup. The shrimp pho ($17.XX) was rather bland, particularly the broth. I was expecting at least some bean sprouts or other toppings to be included. Substitutions aren't encouraged or accomodated, but at least the cashier ran the idea with the chef/manager. The restaurant does have a nice inviting space for quick dining. Chic n' Time is located in the heart of the Mission, parking can be difficult, but lots of bus lines near by and BART is about a few blocks away. I'm willing to try this restaurant again, but probably not any time soon. #4/2025

Five Spice Chicken with Garlic Noodles
Sarah T.

simple and quick place to get a balanced meal for a good price. got the five spice chicken with garlic noodles. SO GOOD! noodles were slightly overcooked (too soft) but strong umami garlic flavor. chicken was super flavorful and the sweet sauce really balanced out the salty flavors. loved that there is a side of steamed broccoli to balance out the flavorful meal. overall, a solid place and come hungry since the portions are huge!

Chicken steak

Quick weekend afternoon late lunch for 2 around 2:30pm. Restaurant was about 1/3 full with a casual stream of to go orders too. Was able to order right away. Order from the counter in the back. Menu is available and you can step aside to look through it if needed. After ordering, grab a seat anywhere and the food will come out to you. Drinks are self serve from a fridge next to the ordering counter. Taiwanese chicken steak. Typically my go to, if not the five spice chicken. Can be ordered with white rice or garlic noodles. Also a few pieces of brocoli. Their garlic noodles are great but I opted for rice this time. The chicken is a huge piece, perfectly fried. Crispy exterior with very juicy meat inside. Comes with a red chili pepper powder you can sprinkle on the dish + a sweet and sour type sauce that pairs nicely with the chicken. Just under $20 for a dish that'll fill you up well.

Garlic butter prawns with garlic noodles
Tiffany C.

I wasn't planning on coming to this spot; it ended up being a back up to a restaurant I wanted to go to originally, but the line was too long at that place. I'm glad I ended up stumbling upon Chic n' Time as I had a great meal here. I ordered the popcorn chicken as an appetizer and for my main course, I got the garlic butter prawns with garlic noodles. The portions here are generous, and the flavors are on point. The chili powder for the popcorn chicken is really flavorful and added a nice kick to the appetizer. The popcorn chicken bites were pretty tender and had a lot of crunch. The garlic butter prawn dish was on the oily side given the amount of butter they put, but it was good! They also added some broccoli which helped the dish taste just a tad healthier than what it actually is lol. We also had a taro milk tea to share which frankly wasn't that good. Definitely not a place to get your milk tea fix. I'd skip out on the drinks here, but do try their food items. You'll leave stuffed and with a box of leftovers!

Garlic Noodles

Came here on a Thursday night and there were no issues finding a seat! Lots of seating and nice staff. Good: - I got the garlic noodles with BBQ chicken - definitely good portion sizes here, you won't be hungry coming out of it - I liked the crunchy texture of the BBQ chicken too - The vibe is very chill and we sat there for a while catching up - quiet inside Bad: - Took some time for the food to come out Overall was a really fun casual place to get a meal. It's not too expensive and the food is unique!

This is what I am familiar with when I order from Perilla.

I placed an pick up order Via Uber Eats for a restaurant I've eaten at plenty of times called "Perilla" when I arrived I noticed the door said Chic N' Time, I immediately walk out of the restaurant thinking I went into the wrong place. I confirm on my phone the address and it shows that I am at the correct place. I go back inside and speak with an employee and I ask him was this Perilla, he looked confused and said no this is Chic N Time, I asked him where was Perilla, he said he never heard of them. I then show him my Uber Eats order on my phone and he confirmed that he had my order and it was ready for pick up. I reluctantly take the food and return home, soon as I open the bag I can instantly tell that this was not going to be to my liking. I ordered the grilled beef and garlic noodles, it honestly looked like a sliced New York steak strip, tasted nothing like the beef from Perilla. I reached out to Uber Eats, they tried to deny my refund request at first but I escalated it to a manager and eventually my order was approved for a refund. Google list two locations for Perilla, 525 Haight st and 836 Irving St. Something is going on, either this restaurant is catfishing as Perilla on Uber Eats and is stealing pictures from the real Perilla or some type of "partnership" is going on between these two. Below I will show a picture of what I am use to getting from Perilla at 525 Haight st vs what I received today from "Chic N Time. Ubereats was not able to give me an answer to this whole ordeal. I am very confused.

Popcorn Chicken

The popcorn chicken I got here was super crispy and flavourful. it was the perfect snack/light meal. One of the best I've had and I'd get it again.

I'm so happy I found this spot. You can't get good 5 Spice Chicken at too many places in the Bay Area, but here you can. They also have another of my favs, Garlic Noodles, so "Say less!". The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The service is great. And it's a little hole-in-the-wall located in a lively area. It could use a refresh though.

Five spice chicken with garlic noodles and satay pho with fried chicken
Jessica L.

Food: - Garlic noodles are buttery, salty, and full of chunks of garlic. - Five spice chicken thigh is perfectly seasoned and moist. - Fried chicken is crunchy, moist, but a bit salty. - Satay pho was a lot spicier than I was anticipating and I actually could not finish the broth. Service: Feels to be family owned and cashier/food servers were always very kind. Ambiance: - There is seating inside and outside. - A lot of people were grabbing take out. Over all, this was a great food option in Mission!

Stopped by Chic N Time for dinner around 8:30 pm on a Friday. It was close to their closing time (9pm) but they still had a few groups of people dining. We ordered at the front counter and they gave us a number to place at our table. My friend and I ordered the popcorn chicken and peppercorn wings with garlic noodles (+$1 since it normally comes with rice). The food came out fresh in about 10-15 minutes. As soon as we tasted the chicken, we totally understood why they had it in their restaurant name. Both the popcorn chicken and the peppercorn chicken were juicy, crispy and flavorful. Popcorn chicken had the right amount of batter coating and the seasoning hit the spot. It also comes with the spicy seasoning that you can dust on to taste -- would highly recommend! Peppercorn chicken wings were good, though I don't really know what the peppercorn flavor was supposed to taste like. Garlic noodle was fine, a bit on the dry side, but not bad at all. The stars here are the chicken and I was definitely impressed; will for sure come by again!

Came here in a pretty large group after church. We come pretty regularly and every time we do they are always so sweet and accommodating. The food is also really good and the portions are more than enough! I love the five spice chicken garlic noodles! The five spice chicken is def the star! The owners and employees are always so welcoming and quick to help. I definitely recommend coming here for a nice casual bite, the food, the staff, and vibes will not disappoint!

Peppercorn Chicken Wings and the Beef Satay Noodle Soup
Aaron Z.

I have no idea why this place isn't more popular. I'd guess it's because the inside is casual and not as Insta-ready as its peers. What it does have is delicious modern Asian food at good prices and a perfect location. The service was prompt and kind; just order at the counter and sit. Peppercorn Chicken Wings: spicy and crispy wings topped with fried garlic, green onions, and jalapenos. I am so into it Beef Satay Noodle Soup: Actually spicy in the best way. Tons of flavor with a bunch of julienned cucumbers. The noodles were plentiful and bouncy. I'd definitely get this again.

Fried chicken steak with garlic noodles
Allison W.

This place has a homey feel that reminds me of the little family cafés I went to growing up. All the staff were very friendly and were happy to give recommendations for things on the menu. It wasn't crowded at all on a Saturday around 7:30 PM. My friend and I got the imperial rolls to share. I got the fried chicken steak with garlic noodles and a jasmine green tea with boba, and my friend got the garlic butter crab with garlic noodles. Imperial rolls - 5/5, so crispy and flavorful! Loved the noodles and lettuce that come with it as well. Fried chicken steak with garlic noodles - 5/5, a generous portion of food with such a large piece of freshly fried chicken. The garlic noodles are perfectly chewy and have the right amount of garlic, absolutely loved this. Garlic butter crab with garlic noodles - 5/5, so much crab given! I personally didn't love the texture as much as mine but 'y friend loved it and the flavors were so good. Jasmine green tea with boba - 1/5, tea was really watery and slightly bitter from overbrewing. Boba was overcooked and not good. I usually order half sweetness for drinks but even I would need more sugar for this drink because it was basically flavorless. Would not recommend, but to be fair the cashier was recommending a bunch of other drinks over this so maybe that's on me. The portions are generous and so filling. One of the employees asked if we liked spice and gave us two shakers of spices that we could add as we wanted (be warned, I would use these sparingly because the spice builds quickly!). Just such a good spot for a filling meal, would absolutely come again!

It has been a MINUTE since I've been back at Anh Hong, but as always, it did not disappoint!…read more We used to go back in the day when they were still in the TL doing the seven courses of beef. They don't do that anymore, but they still have the same stuff you just have to order à la carte. The restaurant isn't huge, but they're definitely giving more upscale vibes, and I highly recommended making a reservation because they definitely get busy. You end up with a lot of food on the table so it's nice that the tables are huge! We ordered a bunch of things, including their beef carpaccio, beef wrap, grilled pork, and imperial roll dishes, but I think what stood out the most were the prawns! A little on the pricier side, but definitely tasty.

This is a small quaint place. Be sure to make a reservation before you go. We waited about 1 1/2…read morehours, and the service is a bit slow. They are not in a rush to clean up tables so they could seat the next guests. It's more like a we'll seat them when we seat them. No sense of urgency. The food is really good and fresh, but beware that their most popular items do contain peanuts inside of them. The river prawns were a bit overrated in my opinion. Overcooked and bit tough, and chewy would not get them again. Ask for extra napkins up front since you do end up eating with your hands most of it.

My boyfriend got the Charbroiled beef with garlic noodles and imperial rolls (#24) with an extra order of beef. Our meal was super filling and balanced! They don't skimp out on either the noodles or the protein (definitely could have done without the extra beef we ordered). The chicken was juicy but the skin stayed crispy. The charbroiled beef had the smallest hint of sweetness for me. The noodles had a nice chew to them, and were dry but in the best way possible. A lot of garlic noodles tend to be too oily and leave an unpleasant lingering mouthfeel, but that wasn't the case here. The noodles could have used more garlic for my preference, but I think it was well balanced with the flavorful protein and fish sauce. The imperial rolls were okay and a nice crunchy side. I wouldn't get them as a separate appetizer, but only $1 more to add to your dish is unbeatable. Overall a great experience and I'd definitely bring some friends here for a comforting meal.

This older man walks around very ambitious with his little credit card terminal ready to charge anyone who is anyone. He gives no receipt. He is the owner and the waiter. But he does not give any service and just expects tip. All he does is walk around and collect money & does the very minimum. I've given this place multiple chances over the years, but unfortunately each experience has been uncomfortable in one way or another. The first time was around 2022. My family and I arrived about 30 minutes before closing, and the owner told us he would still serve us. After seating us, though, he immediately pressured us to order quickly and told us we had to eat fast because they were closing. I was with my elderly relatives too so just turn us away? If that was the case, it would've been better to simply not seat us. Don't be greedy just bc you want a few bucks. Another time, my husband called to order Hanoi-style pho to go, and the owner responded with unnecessary attitude, saying that's the only kind they serve. LOL, ok. The interaction felt rude for no reason. Most recently, we came on Mother's Day. The dishwasher/staff member was also unfriendly. The bun cha was decent according to my mom, and my husband said the beef stew noodle dish was okay, but my pho lacked flavor entirely. I wasn't expecting it to compare to pho in Vietnam or even San Jose, but it tasted very bland so I didn't finish it. The service from the owner continues to be the biggest issue. When we paid, he stood over us while I counted cash, so I felt pressure to count fast and add tip quickly. He left then came back a few seconds later then quickly grabbed the money without even asking whether I needed change and disappeared faster than the wind. The whole interaction felt awkward and pushy. He has a very strange personality. He's honestly very sleazy and has bad energy After several experiences like this, we won't be returning.
