Cheap eats is not always good eats. Very cheap platter with very generous portions. Unfortunately the quality of the food fell flat for me. Although crispy, the pork chop was overcooked and dry. The garlic rice was too bitter for my liking as the garlic was burnt and sprinkled atop the large bed of rice. If you're looking for a cheap meal that will fill you up, this might be the place for you. Unfortunately, it didn't hit the spot for me. read more

Gateway Kitchen - HK pork chop with a side of longganisa - Filipino Near Me - Daly City, California

Amazing food for an affordable price. I ordered 2 orders of plates if the Hong Kong style fried chicken. The staff is super nice and friendly. When you enter the establishment it's not the best but the food was amazing. They give you 2 friend pork chop, an abundant amount of rice with fried garlic. And pineapple and one egg for $7.50. The parking is not the best but you can always order ahead of time and double park. They close early. But I will definitely come back next time read more

Call ahead to make sure they are opened because sometimes they don't open. Don't rely on Yelp business hour. Although the rice portion is decent the fried chicken has no taste at all. They didn't season their fried chicken. I am not sure that's how they fried their chicken. Fried bangus (I think it's a baby one because of the small size) tastes ok. Overall I prefer super star more than this place. read more

Gateway Kitchen - Fried Jumbo Deep Fried Quarter Leg Chicken - Filipino Near Me - Daly City, California

Definitely the bang for your buck! We had a huge order of 9 plates from Gateway, and it all came out to just about $60. I would like to call out that this place is Cash Only, so be prepared for that. There is a nearby liquor store that has an ATM machine for a $3 charge. The staff worked really hard to get our food ready. I appreciate that they were able to make it all in just 20 minutes. The food was great. It does come with A LOT of rice, so maybe look into ordering extra protein on the side and split with your friend or partner. I would love to come back here whenever I am local in the area to support them again. Very happy that we stumbled upon this place. read more

I can never tell when this place is open since it has posters all over the window, but they are so nice here and I've been here twice already and always feel satisfied. The food is bomb! read more

bEST cheap food in the bayarea. Both Superstar and Gateway are the best place for Silog.

They are closed! It's sad cause they were pretty good for a good price lame they had to close

More of a 4.25 Very small mom and pop shop. They were quite busy on a Saturday morning. Line to order. Bunch of people waiting for their order or to pick up their phone orders. Phones ringing from people trying to place an order. Even though it was super busy, the family? was still sweet and worked very hard. Especially the girl working in the front. FOOD: - HK pork chop silog: The pork was battered really well. It was perfectly seasoned and the pork was nice and juicy and easy to eat. The yolk was nice and runny. The pineapples were good. Garlic was was ok, I agree with another person that the fried garlic can get a little bitter when over fried. - Tuyo silog: Similar to pork silog, but with small crispy fish. Overall: Tasty food with good portions read more

My family and I have been ordering from Gateway Kitchen from time to time whenever we're craving their silogs. Since my work has relocated to Daly City and it's conveniently close to us, I ordered some with my friends. It's suggested to call in for pick up ahead of time, and when I called they were very nice and accommodating. Everything on the menu is such a good price and affordable, my friends who experienced their food for the first time were shocked how much food you get for that price and how good they were. I ordered the Smoked Boneless Bangus Silog, and it was great! I do wish they gave vinegar or some sauce to-go to dip the protein in. When my friend and I went to go pick up our lunches, the process was very quick since they had the food ready already. They are cash only, so make sure to have some on you. We got lucky with street parking in front of the restaurant, but on busier days, it might be easier to park in the neighborhood. read more

I want to say I've been coming here for at least 15yrs cause it feels that long. Even since moving out of the city this is what's on top of mind when I find myself passing through. The family who runs this has always provided love & service w/ a smile. My go-to is typically HK Porkchop w/ Tocino. Garlic fried rice, pineapple & egg, sriracha & vinegar. Just stop it, what else do you need. read more

The food here is so good and very reasonably priced. I'll definitely stop here every time I'm in the area.

Gateway Kitchen - Here ya go! UPDATED MENU ~ Feb. 2024 You're Welcome - Filipino Near Me - Daly City, California

A STAPLE!! What's better than $5-8 filipino silogs with large portions? Would recommend calling ahead of time because they can get a bit busy and might have long waits to get your food. But the workers are always so nice and try to move as quick as possible. They are only to-go so make sure to have a place to eat them after! I ordered the HK Style Pork Chop (must try) and their tocino. Their portions of rice is so much that I ended up saving my left over rice for another meal. Cash only! read more

Gateway Kitchen - Tocino, Hk Style Porkchop - Filipino Near Me - Daly City, California

Gateway Kitchen was a spot suggested to me by some friends - they were getting food from here and asked if I wanted anything. I did not physically visit here, so I am not sure about the ambience and service of this spot. The food was affordable / cheap for what you get - most of the meals are about $6 - $8. My friends ordered a variety of their combos, while I ordered their Jumbo Fried Quarter Leg Chicken, which came with a generous amount of garlic fried rice, a few pineapple chunks, and 1 egg. The chicken was good for the most part, but it was a bit dry. The garlic fried rice was flavorful and went well with the chicken; the pineapple was sweet, which I enjoyed; and the egg was a bit runny like how I usually like / prefer my eggs. I also tried some of my friend's pork chop, which was pretty good - it was very juicy and I did preferred that over the chicken. read more

A hole-in-the-wall, no frills place for the locals. My bf and I both ordered the longganisa with garlic rice and egg, with an additional egg for each of us. The longganisa were juicy and the pineapples added a nice sweet flavor to the savory dish. The garlic rice was for real and tasted great mixed with the runny egg yolk. I wish they had vinegar to-go because I like to douse this dish in vinegar. I tried with the bottles provided inside, but didn't get enough. This Filipino food really hit the spot! read more

Gateway Kitchen - Longanisa - Filipino Near Me - Daly City, California

We love gateway kitchen. If you like cheap eats, this is one of the best. The price is insanely affordable, the amount of rice serving is good for two people per meal, and even the meat serving is a lot. There's egg and pineapple added every meal. You get a lot and pay less. They are organized as well you don't have to wait for long. The staff are really friendly. Try the tocino and tinapa, we like them best. Also, they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. We found out the hard way lol the rest of the week they are open. read more

If you know, you know! Great hole in wall spot for Filipino food. Highly recommend the Hong Kong style pork chop, longanisa and tocino! The reason this spot gets 5 stars is because it's affordable and you get an abundant amount of food. Hoping this spot doesn't raise its prices. I always recommend this spot to friends visiting San Francisco. Location is only for pick up, which is a bummer because it would be nice to sit down and eat there! read more

Gateway Kitchen - Longanisa + Tocino - Filipino Near Me - Daly City, California

Food: This was my first time here. I had the rice plate with tocino. I also want to mention that the rice plate already comes with pineapples and an egg. You would just have to pick your protein. The quality of the tocino was very tasty and soft when chewing. However, I felt as if the restaurant didn't give enough of the tocino. The amount given felt like a side order and I was mainly eating rice with the garlic seasoning. My friend and I also split a side order of longanisa which comes with two pieces. It was very flavorful with a crunchy outer layer. My friend got the HK fried pork chop and said it was really good! My friend has been wanting to come back here for awhile and was excited to eat the HK pork chop again. Aside from the tocino portion being slim, I would still come back and try their other items. In total, the bill came out to being around $21. Service: The service was good. The cashier was friendly and made suggestions on the popular items. Seating: Currently, this restaurant only prepares for to go orders and does not have any tables to dine in. So you would have to eat your order outside while standing or in a car somewhere. read more

Gateway Kitchen - Hk Style Porkchop Longanisa Tocino - Filipino Near Me - Daly City, California

A hole in the wall take out only place, that only takes cash. So don't expect anything with the ambiance and decor....like I said it's a hole in the wall type place. Service was quick too. But as for the food, it was ok-good. I got the hk pork chops and added the longanisa. Also got to try their tocino. Longanisa-it was good, crispy outer layer and juicy center. Hk Pork chops-it was pretty good, crispy, just wished it was seasoned some more. Tocino-was average. Garlic rice-it was ok/good But the pineapples they give with each plate, I can do w/o. Overall I'd give it a 4, and add .5 because of the price. So I rounded it off to a 5....it's definitely worth what you pay for. read more

Gateway Kitchen - Hk pork chops & Longsilog - Filipino Near Me - Daly City, California

The best way I can describe this place is it's the most affordable and most delicious Filipino food ever. It's really one of the first Asian fusion foods in Daly City and San Francisco. It's sister store is Superstar but all in all this place really is the best place to eat some good Hong Kong style pork chops or even Tocino silog with its signature garlic rice! Service is fast and food prices are all under $10 for a meal and it's great! You gotta bring cash because it is cash only and the place is To-Go but like I said food is indeed A-1! read more

Why advertise as "open" but are never actually open???? This is the 5th time in the last month where I've called in. I even drove past it once too, to make sure they are really closed. I live 30 mins away and yes, a few times was my fault for rushing over before they close without calling first. I've called numerous times on Wednesday and also called today - FRIDAY. Update your business hours or set up a voicemail greeting to let customers know you are closed. Cheap food doesn't equal cheap business ethics. It is very frustrating! read more

When I first heard of Gateway through IG, I knew I had to try it if I was ever in the Daly City area and it did not disappoint! At $5.50-7.50ish for their silogs, it really felt like I was getting my bang for my buck with the portion sizes and my filipino breakfast cravings were fulfilled. One thing to note is it is CASH ONLY. I came on a Saturday morning close to when they opened and while there wasn't a long line, there were a couple of other folks in front of us as well as people who had phoned their order in. One thing I wish I did before coming was reading the reviews because I would have opted to call ahead to save some time waiting so that's something I would do in the future. Despite that, I felt like the food was made in a reasonable time at about 10-15 mins. I got the HK style pork chop silog with a side of longanisa and I was satisfied. The pork chop was massive and pretty crispy. The flavor was okay and I found it fine to eat as is or with a bit of vinegar but my siblings felt theirs needed a bit more flavor so maybe a tad bit of salt would have done the trick. Personally, I could have done with a little less of the fried garlic for the rice but luckily it was on top so it was easy to either scoop out or avoid the pieces I didn't want to eat. The star of my meal was the longanisa though and I'm so glad I got it as a side. Pro tip: ask for the mini cups to get vinegar on the side to eat with your food. The staff was super friendly and I love that this is a family-run business. Despite being busy, they acknowledged us when we walked in and we're able to make the food in a reasonable amount of time. While this probably isn't the best silog I've ever had, I'd say the portion and prices can't be beat and Gateway is a solid option if you're in the area and want a cheap Filipino style breakfast. read more

Gateway Kitchen - Hk Style Porkchop w/ side of Longanisa - Filipino Near Me - Daly City, California

Gateway Kitchen is my preferred spot for Filipino cuisine. Although I typically enjoy homemade Filipino food over dining out, this is my go-to spot if I don't have any at home. They offer affordable, consistent, and fast service. On Father's Day, I arrived around 8:40 AM, and it took approximately 10 minutes for six to-go orders to be completed. Due to limited parking in front, I waited in the car while my companion handled the pickup. One of my favorite dishes is the HK style pork chops, but all their menu options are excellent. read more

Unbelievable low prices, large size serving, good quality food. Selection is good as well

Ordered a plate with longanisa and tocino, and they were both SO good. The garlic rice was perfect too. This is a very grab-and-go type of place, but the staff was friendly and very inviting. read more

Gateway Kitchen - Filipino Near Me - Daly City, California

Today, I'm craving for Fililino breakfast..finally after so many attempts of passing if they are still open. I got lucky today, auntie and uncle where there after so many years they still remember me and my kids, I wish I was able to chat more with them. I ordered to go HK style pork chops and tinapang bangus and side of longanisa with lots of garlic rice. The taste is still the same as I remember them when we used to dine in here. It's a great feeling to eat here once again, treated like we are a family. read more

Good food at a great value. Nothing more you could ask for in today's economy. The portions are also not small either. Phenomenal staff, phenomenal food. Love it. read more

Can't go wrong with this place! Family owned & owner always greets you coming in and thanks you after. CASH ONLY! - there is a Walgreens on the other side thhat have ATM but what I did was just bought something and did cashback instead. PARKING - side street parking only. Note you gotta do the meter Mon-Sat (I didnt have quarters but the owner was so nice to spare me some) read more

Gateway Kitchen - Menu - Filipino Near Me - Daly City, California

The prices aren't $3-5 anymore, they've gone up to $6-8 per entree. But they still offer some of the most cheaper options in the bay for Filipino food. This is a sister store to Superstar. Street parking. CASH ONLY!! They don't have an ATM inside. To-go orders only. I ordered the Hong Kong style pork chops, bangus and tocino. The tocino was ok, a bit tough to chew. They only give one bangus per serving. Wished they gave two so the rice to protein ratio was better. But I'd definitely go back just for their hk style pork chops. They serve it with garlic rice (found some of the garlic pieces to be burnt which made it bitter. Not a big deal though), one fried egg, and some pineapple. Utensils include and they have vinegar/soy sauce too. They also sell beverages like canned soda and Arizona. Ordered and waited 10 mins for it to be ready. Made to order so expect to wait if it's busy. Ended up eating it in my car. Overall, can't wait to try more of their menu items next time around. read more

I would call first before going as they were closed today (Wednesday). Was excited about trying this place but it was a no go for us. Will have to see what days they are open! read more

Really large portions for very reasonable (read: cheap!) prices. Quality is not great but definitely an affordable filler, especially for the kids. We ordered several silogs and sides to go. I would steer clear of the pork chop, because it was dry. BREAKFAST Deep fried pork chop- too dry Bangus Tocino silog Longanisa silog Don't expect Jolibee breakfast, but this is definitely an easy way to feed the fam if you're too lazy to cook. Filipino food is a bit greasy for me to have on the reg, but definitely something I enjoy once in a while. You'll find me here for breakfast on a budget. read more

A great spot for affordable but delicious eats! This is a family run restaurant and everyone on the staff is friendly and so appreciative of your business. I started coming here over 5 years ago. My usual order flip flops between tocino and HK style pork chops. The meals all come with a large portion of garlic rice, pineapple and an over easy egg. I always see people eating milkfish here but haven't gotten around to trying it. When I first starting coming here, the HK style pork chop used to cost $4.25 - yes, you heard that right! 2 large pieces of pork chops with rice, egg and pineapple for less than $5. Now, it costs $5.50 which is still an absolute steal. I can't finish the entire meal so this can really be 2 meals. Order the soup on the side for $1.50 and you'll have the perfect Sunday lunch meal. Be nice and tip the staff well, if you have the opportunity to. They are hard working and have kept prices so low for many years! read more

Updating my review because I'm a frequent customer and they deserve it. Gateway kitchen always keeps it consistent and never fails for a sub ~$10 meal! read more

A staple in San Francisco in my eyes. Sister restaurant to Super Star (they are within 2 miles of each other) I loved their food when my mom would bring it home while I was a kid, and I love their food as a full grown adult. I appreciate how they have always made their plates affordable for the community. It's fast filipino breakfast food. The portions are big for what you pay. The service is quick. Don't be alarmed with how the restaurant looks, THE FOOD IS FIRE. It does get pretty busy in the mornings especially on weekends. Parking can be a pain as it's in a pretty busy area of SF and finding street parking is sometimes the worst. Hongkong style porkchop and longanisa are my go to's. You won't be disappointed. read more

Always one of our favorite places to stop by when we're in the area. This time we picked up some brunch before heading to the pumpkin patch and it didn't disappoint. Hongkong pork chop is a fave, their garlic rice is delicious and the egg is always perfectly cooked. Not to mention it's really cheap if you're on a budge (or feeding a bunch of people), but they only take cash so be prepared! Haha read more
