This place is very small with very limited seating. There was a wait for a table. The waitress was very friendly and efficient. We ordered the following dishes: (1) Roast pork and roast duck (3/5 stars). The roast pork skin is not very crispy. Good roast pork has crispy skins. The roast duck was too salty for my taste. (2). Singapore style vermicelli (3/5 stars). Tasted okay. I thought this dish looked too yellow. I have had this dish many times and it usually doesn't have that bright yellow color. (3). Beef chow fun (4/5 stars). This was the best dish of this meal. It tasted as I had expected. The prices at this place is very inexpensive. That would explain the lines waiting to be seated or to place take out orders. To me however, the food here is average. I did liked the beef chow fun. That would be the only dish I would recommend.
Not fancy. No pearls. No Gucci. This is a place for the food. Auntie gets your order or you order chopped chicken or roast duck by the window kind of place. There's room to dine-in, but it will be a small space. But the food is very good and very affordable. All the classic HK style dishes that won't sacrifice flavor just because you're on a budget. No shame in that, man. Eat because it's a basic human need. Enjoy flavor while your taste buds can still thank you for it. I was grabbing some meals to-go. Walked in like a boss, ordered in my native tongue, and the output were some good meals that were shared. Ordered a fam favorite with their Mongolian Beef and also their Spicy Eggplant entrees. All was delicious as usual and pretty filling. This is a cash only spot, so bring your bills. They take orders in English, just annunciate your words or just point at the menu of what you want. They are friendly if you're friendly lol.
Walk a little, save a lot. Kam Po is a long block up from Stockon to Powell on Broadway, and delivered a dining experience that was calmer and less expensive than most of the shops down below. I was craving noodle soup with duck, and Kam Po checked the boxes. When I saw it was $9 on the not very descriptive menu I figured it must be a small portion so I also ordered a pork stomach dish because I love offal. (By the way, the current menu is much shorter than what is shown on many Yelp photos.) The noodle soup serving was enormous, as it turned out, with a very generous amount of very meaty duck which I happily gnawed my way through. The broth was ok but improved with some chili oil and red vinegar on the table. There is also some cabbage in the broth and the noodles are Singapore-style vermicelli; next time I would see if I can substitute fun.The pork stomach (piggy equivalent of tripe, with a very different form factor) was tender and juicy and nicely complemented by some scallions, leeks and medallions of ginger in its stir-fry. No complex tastes or extra spices, just good HK-style BBQ.
First time here. Ordered chow fun to go and some ginger chicken. The place has tables and it was packed. Will update about the food later.
I bought an orange cuttlefish that was hanging in the window display. When I got home, the squid had a very strong, fishy, and unpleasant smell. I tried a small piece to see if it had a foul taste, but it was just bland and had very little flavor. It cost $20 per pound, which is quite expensive for the quality. Definitely not worth the price. Unfortunately, I will not be coming back here again.
Came here at 12:30pm on a Thursday and they were super busy! They have one super staff here, she's loud but great at managing everyone and still checking to see if you need more tea. I was craving duck so I asked for half a roasted duck and it is a lot. The singaporean style rice noodles was also a massive portion and they use a lot of curry powder here. $33 total before tips. Both were pretty tasty, I would definitely come back to try other items here.
PRO TIP! We actually used the order option embedded in the Yelp app under the restaurant and paid in advance to avoid any wait. Because our order had been placed well before we arrived, there was a little confusion initially with the staff, but they were very kind and quick to resolve by making a fresh order! At around $25, it was a very reasonable price. The pork was crispy, cooked to perfection, and the fat was incredibly buttery with excellent flavor throughout. The roasted duck was also very flavorful, and both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed both options. We would absolutely return to enjoy this dish again, along with trying some of their other entrées. The restaurant itself was nice inside, with a comfortable seating area, and once everything was sorted out with our order (our fault totally!) the food was prepared very quickly.
It's a small joint in Chinatown. Limited seating so be prepared to wait during the lunch rush. It's a small mom and pop restaurant that got huge portions of food and reasonable price. Great casual place to eat for family style meal. It is cash only.
A lot of the bad reviews highlight the lack of cleanliness, but this isn't Nobu, it's the heart of Chinatown and I was honestly just happy to experience a real local spot while visiting San Francisco. As someone from San Diego, I've had plenty of roast duck from Convoy, but walking through Chinatown and seeing window after window of juicy roast duck made it impossible not to try it here. We walked into Kam Po Kitchen, a very small and packed shop, and were greeted and seated right away. The inside is a maze of tables and chairs, but our table was freshly wiped down. There was one woman handling both serving and running food, but despite how busy it was, she was incredibly kind and had such a good attitude. You're given two menus, one with photos of their popular dishes and another large traditional menu. It was honestly hard to choose. We saw their roasted eel clay pot rice advertised outside and knew we had to get it. We also ordered the beef chow fun, and of course the main reason we came, the roast duck. The clay pot takes about 20 minutes, which they let us know ahead of time. It wasn't an issue since we had the duck and chow fun to start. The roast duck was only $9 and a great portion. It was juicy, packed with that Chinese five spice flavor, and had tender meat with that perfect crispy skin. They put cabbage underneath which soaks up all the drippings and it was so good. The chow fun had great flavor too. The noodles were well coated in sauce and tossed with lots of green onion. I do wish there was more beef since it felt a little light, but what was there was really good. The clay pot came out looking different from the picture outside, but it still had that comforting, home-style feel. The rice had that crispy bottom layer, and there was a good amount of eel and preserved meats on top. The ginger flavor really came through and made everything super fragrant. It comes with a soy-based sauce on the side to mix in, and overall it tasted very authentic, like something my grandma would make. Overall, this place isn't about aesthetics. It's about solid, comforting food, and for that, it delivered.
This place was not fancy, but SO damn good. We're kicking ourselves for not bringing a whole duck home for lunch for the next week. The prices are great. CASH ONLY. Don't miss!
Kam Po is under new management. Yes the lady with the jean shorts is still there but the owners are now a lovely couple. Lady with glasses and her husband hold the knife now. It's a mix of old school with new school. Music plays in the background of a wireless speaker and the standards mainstreamed. I been coming to this place a lot the new owners recognize me, and that's not a bad thing. Today I got a half duck for $17 and it was all meat. I am happy to see this place back in action. Reading past prior reviews its different / business practices better now with new management. Come in for the house clay pot rice that can feed two people and or the house bbq items. The cha sui lately had my family asking where I got it from. I'm blessed to be able to share food back the same way my grandparents showed me.
U P D A T E : Decided to give this place another try after a few years due to a Yelp friend mentioning the restaurant is under new management and ownership! The restaurant didn't change their decor, but the food seems to be better with some of their dishes. Same waitstaff, lady with short hair who remembers us. ***OUR PICKS*** BEEF STEW AND TENDON ~ tender and soft! Just like it used to be before Covid. So glad we tried them again. 5/5 ROASTED PORK AND BBQ PORK WITH CABBAGE AND RICE ~ the bbq pork was sliced thinner which tastes better. Roasted pork had crispy skin and juicy meat. It has a bit more fat but it's tastier and not dry. The same goes for their bbq pork. Boiled cabbage added along with steamed rice to complete the dish. 5/5 ON CHOY WITH GARLIC & SHRIMP PASTE ~ surprisingly not salty! Cooked perfectly and just the right amount of seasoning. 5/5 ROUND RICE NOODLES AND CABBAGE ~ overcooked that we had to eat it there. It wouldn't survive if we took it home to reheat. 3.5/5 WONTON NOODLE SOUP ~ wonton was a good size with shrimp in it. Noodles could have been crispier in texture. Like the rice noodles, you can't reheat again. Otherwise, it'll be a soggy mess. Blanching it in ice water would solve this. Hoping this would improve. 3.5/5 Happy that the stew and tendon is good again! We'll come back to try other things on the menu soon!
I tried Kam Po Kitchen pre-COVID, and back then, their roasted pork & char siu were truly unrivaled. Returning recently, the experience was a bit more hit or miss. We ordered: * 1/2 Roast Duck & Char Siu: The char siu wasn't quite as flavorful & kind of dry. The duck had a decent taste, but it was mostly bone with very little meat * Fish Congee: This is a massive portion! Whileit was a bit watered down for my preference, it was still hearty and came with generous, large chunks of fish. * Mabo Tofu: It lacked a bit of that bold, spicy punch you expect from Mabo Tofu, but I did appreciate that it wasn't overly greasy. * Singaporean Style Chow Fun: I'd suggest skipping this one. The seasoning felt off and it lacked flavor. This is a CASH ONLY spot, so come prepared! If you need a fast, affordable, meal in Chinatown, this is the place.
This place is awesome for that authentic Chinese bbq experience. The servers are curt -almost to the point of unfriendly but i kinda expected that. They remember everyone's order, the food comes fast and the prices are ridiculously cheap. We ordered the wanton noodle soup which was a good base for everything. For the price you should def try. The bbq duck was hot and juicy. The roast pork was moist with crispy skin. Everything was really good. Def come back. read more

Honestly, I didn't even glance at the menu prices before ordering--I was just on a mission to try their wonton noodle soup and BBQ duck rice. When the bill came out to a grand total of $16 out the door, I had to double-check the math! My mind was officially blown.Is it Michelin-star dining? No. But the taste is surprisingly solid, and for that price point, it is an absolute steal. Beyond the food, I fell in love with the authentic, no-frills vibe of the place. It is the perfect, straightforward spot to grab a quick, cheap bite when the craving hits. I am already planning my next visit! 說實話，點餐的時候我連看都沒看價格，一心只想嚐嚐他們的雲吞麵和燒鴨飯。結果結帳的時候，總共竟然只要$16！我當時都懷疑是不是算錯了，簡直驚呆了！要說這是什麼米其林頂級美味，那倒不至於，但味道確實挺不錯。就這個價格而言，性價比簡直絕了！除了食物，我還特別喜歡這家店原汁原味的市井煙火氣（地道氛圍）。如果你想隨便找個地方速戰速決、飽餐一頓，來這裡準沒錯。我已經決定下次還要再來！ read more
My my! Chinatown was def in my places to checkout in San Francisco!! This place has a big following on instagram, glad we checked it out. Only one server was present for the entire place and she did a fantastic job! We ordered a bunch of things: roast pork, mangolian beef, Singapore noodles and kung pao chicken. Roast pork with rice was soo damn good! Everything was devoured but we all felt the Mangolian beef was onion forward. There was almost no beef present in the dish. Overall, even with the beef dish, we loved it. Grand total was $70 (including 20 percent tip). read more

Great Chinese spot. I was in town for work and always try to get some good local Chinese food. I ordered roasted duck noodle soup and the salt and pepper wings. Great portions and great taste. I initially called first and the lady who assisted me was very nice and good customer service. They don't deliver so you'll have to get DoorDash. I'd definitely recommend and order from again when I visit San Fran for work. read more
Great flavors, but serious cleanliness concerns I found Kam Pao on TikTok and decided to check it out after seeing a mix of reviews. It's a small mom-and-pop spot in Chinatown, so I went in knowing it wouldn't be fancy -- just hoping for good, flavorful food. The good: The food really was delicious. My partner had the black pepper beef over rice -- super tender and flavorful with jalapeños -- and I ordered the roasted pork belly and duck over rice. Both had crispy skin, juicy meat, and great seasoning. Prices were also very fair (under $30 total). The concern: While I was there, I noticed some hygiene issues that made me uncomfortable. I could hear frequent sneezing coming from the kitchen ,not just a couple times but several and it was hard to ignore. I did see a worker come out who looked visibly ill; his mask was pulled down below his face while he was handling cups and dishes. The other staff I saw had masks on, but a couple also had theirs pulled down. I completely understand that people get sick and still need to work, and I respect that this is a family-run space. But it made me uneasy from a cleanliness standpoint. The food was good, but once I noticed all of that, I honestly couldn't finish my meal. Bottom line: The flavor and prices are solid, but I can't overlook the hygiene concerns. If those things were addressed, I'd absolutely recommend Kam Pao but as it stands, I probably wouldn't return. read more

Family run and fast-service! You can see from the window where they chop up all the meats, all the other dishes are made in the back. Small eating area and limited decor. We got a roast pork/duck rice combo plate and a side of green beans. Got a soup on the house too, shoutout to our server. Keep in mind: this place is cash only!! No frills, just cheap and hearty food. read more
I love their BBQ meats. No frill dine-in experience, the inside is kinda smelly of cleaning products with sticky tables, but they serve some mean BBQ meats that has me coming back when I'm in the area to take home some BBQ. You can't go wrong with BBQ pork, duck, or crispy pork. Cash only. read more
Really good no frills Chinese restaurant. Probably the best one around the area. It's cash only, dining in can feel a little dirty and brisk, also they serve hot tea in those plastic cups which really shouldn't be used for hot scathing drinks. Parking is non existent. I'm in town for a staycation and walked here from Union Square so it was fine for me, but I don't know what I'd do if I had to drive here. read more

Giant portions for a great price! Came here on a Sunday afternoon to pick up takeout for dinner. Some people were seated inside eating, and the portion sizes seem just as large in person. The staff are very efficient with taking your order, just be aware they're cash only. They cut up the meat immediately and we were out in 5 minutes. We got Pork Belly and Roast Duck over rice, which was so much food for 2 people and could have been split for 3 people. I appreciated the touch of a layer of cabbage over the rice to separate it from the meat. The Pork Belly was so crispy and Roast Duck was so juicy! All of it was so good and tender. I definitely will be back! read more

It's been a while since I last came here. I usually get a rice plate or rice noodle soup dish. This is a restaurant that also serves Chinese BBQ items. The restaurant is your typical Asian diner/eatery with kinda sticky tables and Chinese speaking staff. It's your standard 3-star, nothing fancy, local eatery serving supposedly inexpensive and filling dishes. We came here for lunch with intention to get some roast duck but kinda got sucked into the server's pace/enthusiasm on ordering. She recommended the roast goose, which only came in 1/2 or whole portions. The customer next to our table said it was good so convinced, we decided to yet it (wish we had the foresight to ask the price of it first). Then she recommends a combo plate with duck and choice of BBQ pork or roast pork. We opted for the BBQ pork. She said we are just missing a veggie dish and recommended the mustard greens. She said it's stir fried with ginger and garlic with a drizzle of Chinese wine to give it an aromatic flavor. We asked if white rice was included but she said it's for an extra charge so we decided to get fried rice instead. Food came fairly quickly and portions were decent. The goose arrived room temperatured, was meaty and decently flavorful. When the combo plate came, it was hot. The duck was very good - in my opinion it's better than the goose. Bbq pork was piping hot, lean (which I'm fine with) but the flavor is just ok and it doesn't have the honey sheen to it. I've had better bbq pork elsewhere. The mustard greens and fried rice were normal good. Biggest surprise was the bill. It came out to an eye opening, jaw dropping $85! It turns out the goose plate alone was $36! The bbq pork/duck combo plate was $18. I was expecting the bill to be in the $50s. Overall the food was fine (the duck was really good - definitely get that), but it's hard to justify 4 dishes at an Asian diner/eatery to be a hundred dollar meal (after tip). They should definitely change the dollar sign for this place to $$ at least. It's not the $ days like it was in the past/pre-covid. Cash only. Also, ALWAYS confirm the price before ordering. 3.5 stars read more

Neighborhood Chinese restaurant. The food reminds me of home cooking when I was a kid. The service was quick and this was a great time to come in. Normally standing room only. Ambiance is clean and the decor is older but I am here for the food! read more
I have to admit I've only been here once, but I already think this should be considered required dining in Chinatown. Between this and the tarts at Golden Gate Bakery (if it ever reopens), you've got a pretty good start on the prototypical Chinatown sustenance experience. I only became aware of this spot from a youthful vlogger who convincingly raved about the portions they serve here and how she's been coming here for years since it was such a good deal. It's on the corner of Broadway and Powell, so you'd expect it to be busy during the lunch hour. However, I got lucky and had to wait only for a senior woman who was buying a whole roast duck and having it chopped in a very peculiar way. I didn't see a menu or really have an opportunity to ask for one since the two men behind the counter were busy chopping meat and filling takeout cartons. Good thing I knew what I wanted though and ordered the $7.75 Roast Duck Plate (photo: https://yelp.to/_hME3M1-K5). I was amazed at how much duck I got and how much rice was underneath. I asked for some boiled cabbage just to break up the carbs and got it. I didn't eat it here but took it to nearby Woh Hei Yuen Park (review: https://yelp.to/XwtIch49ZB). Big mistake. The picnic tables were taken, so I had to sit on a bench where my duck was attracting a flock of hungry pigeons. Even with my arms flailing to wave the pigeons away, the duck was certainly tasty enough, and I'd definitely return. FOOD - 4 stars...incredibly cheap chunks of roast duck over rice. Tasty enough. AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...a no frills space with no menu in sight SERVICE - 3.5 stars..,they're not paid to be nice TOTAL - 4 stars...hungry in Chinatown?...come here RELATED - Exploring Chinatown? Here's my collection of places I've patronized and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2WoF1Z2 read more
The coziest no-frills place for delicious roast duck, roast goose, yee fu noodles, and clay pots! All the people here are so caring and warm, it feels like you're eating at home! You also can't beat the prices here--got a meal enough to feed four people for $51! read more

My family members and I have been buying Chinese entrees from here recently due to its proximity to On Lok facility half a block away. Both my brother and I ordered entrees from here on different days and found large metal bristles, most likely from a very old wok cleaning brush, in our food!!Please see pictures. Luckily, we, and including my elderly mother, didn't end up swallowing it! Be aware, the cooks are obviously not concerned with food safety here! Additionally, as mentioned by another reviewer, if your dish is $11.80, the cashier will ask you to pay $15.00, purposely adding an extra $2 to each entree you order after taxes. read more

Unassuming place a little bit far from the center of Chinatown. The place has been a long staple and must visit place if you want BBQ meats! I always come here for the roast pork or bbq meat to eat with my family. I came on a weekend just for a quick bite as I was craving some lo mein and meat. If you dine in, they serve you soup with your meal and your choir of tea or water. It is cash only so please plan ahead! read more

From what I know, they only take cash. They are still open for indoor dining and carry-out, but don't believe they have delivery and I know for sure they don't have outdoor dining.
Do they have a whole Peking Duck you can order? Are they open?
Hi! Love Kam Po and enjoy their dishes as well as the take out deli goodies! The yummy ducks hanging at the ready are actually roast duck, NOT Peking duck. Roast duck is cooked using flavoring -- star anise, ginger, green onion and other herbs.…
Do they have a new phone number? The number listed doesn't work and you cant order online.
They are closed until early 2021 due to construction on the building.
Is Kam Po still open? I saw the shop closed and boarded up. Would be really disappointing to see this place closed down. Hope it's just temporary.
Closed for building renovations for estimated three months effective 10/5/20. Hoping to reopen 2021.
Is Kam Po open for take-out at this time (April 2020)? Are they serving in the restaurant, technically spacious enough to maintain 6 feet between patrons?
Take out only for now. Unless they are forced to close.
Is this place open Xmas day 2018?
Most of the businesses in Chinatown including Kam po are indeed open (regular hours) on Christmas day.
