    Menu - Noodles Soup (3.20.26)
    Aaron K.

    LetsSweet Kitchen is a cozy Cha Chaan Teng (HK cafe) cranking out some real hits (and a few misses) in a lesser traveled part of Soma. This spot is a bit tucked away from much of anything else but definitely worth checking out if you're craving solid Hong Kong comfort food. I started with the HK milk tea, which was a bit of a miss for me as I did not get near enough of that strong, tannic tea flavor I love from the real deal in HK. Maybe their other drinks are more on point, but not off to a great start. Luckily, the food immediately turned things around. The curry combo was awesome, packed with curry flavor, spicy, rich and loaded with fish balls, bean curd, and hefty chunks of daikon (maybe could've been cut smaller, but still delicious). The wonton noodle soup gets an easy A+ as the noodles had that perfect QQ bounce, the wontons were plump with shrimp and pork and sheathed in a paper thin wrapper, and the broth was mild but comforting. Add a bit of red vinegar, and it's perfect. The Tom Yum Spaghetti was a delicious fusion dish with familiar spicy, tangy and sour Tom Yum flavors and I loved the touch of cream in the sauce that added some body and let it cling to the noodles a bit better. The only real letdown was the crispy chicken cartilage as the breading was a bit too thick and the cartilage flavors and texture became a bit lost in this preparation. The plain mayo on the side was also a bit puzzling and not a great condiment (I mixed it with a little sriracha which helped, but still not great). A simple side of seasoned salt or some sort of tare would go a long way in helping the cartilage itself be the star, much the way that it is prepared at Japanese izakayas, where I am not ashamed to say I have probably eaten this dish dozens of times. Despite a couple minor misses, I felt the meal was fantastic overall. The hits were bang on, the place is clean and comfy, and the staff were super friendly. A little pricier than your average cha chaan teng, but honestly, the quality and care make it feel worth it. I'll definitely be back to try the braised beef brisket dishes and lunch specials next time!

    Milk tea and iced lemon tea were both good. The spicy beef brisket was delicious, made with tendon brisket. The lemongrass pork neck rice was great -- the pork neck was tender yet chewy. The cart noodles were tasty -- the pig intestines were very flavorful, and the dace fish balls were nice and bouncy. Only the squid was a bit disappointing as it was quite tough. No need to say much about the wontons -- they're amazing. More shrimp than pork, just the way I like it. The rice noodles were perfectly smooth. The curry beef brisket rice was unbeatable -- spicy but still rich with curry flavor Most importantly, the service was top-notch

    Pretty authentic everyday hongkong food, which also means it's on the bland side in terms of seasoning (Cantonese food tend to go easy on seasoning and salt), some of the dishes you'd want to add more salt, or hot sauce yourself to make more flavorful. I really like that the restaurant also offers a selection of quintessential HK deserts and drinks, and its offering of dishes covers both more traditional Chinese Cantonese food, and more British influenced western style HK food.

    Curry pork cutlet

    I'm fairly confident at this point that I can get anything on their menu and not be disappointed. Yesterday, we felt adventurous and ordered their spicy ma lat chicken and rice noodle. There are several types of rice noodles used in HK cuisine but typically mai fun (thinner) and lai fun (round, thicker, slippery). This was made with the latter, of which I'm a fan both because of its flavor and because it's fun to eat. The ma lat soup was mouth numbing but not overpowering. Chicken was tender. Great dish. We also got the pork jowl and chicken chop over rice. The pork jowl is splendid how can they make pork so tender yet flavorful? Rice is perfect. In HK culture, rice needs to be cooked to perfection, where each grain is separate (粒粒分明). That means adding too little or too much water can ruin the whole pot. The butter / condensed milk toast was divine. Service is always top notch. Place was packed again on a random Sunday morning. 生意興隆, LetSweet. It's so great to see your business flourish.

    Wonton noodle soup
    Shirley C.

    This is my first time coming. I'm a Hongkonger and I can testify that their foods are authentic. Must try satay beef instant noodle: their sauce is thick enough not to get diluted in the soup. Beef is tender and the taste is exactly like the one sold in HK. I don't need to go down to LA for the satay beef instant noodle anymore. Their wonton noodle soup is great with big chunks of shrimp in the wonton. We also tried the fried chicken wings (all flat with no drumstick) and French toast. They're both tasty.

    Super Cart Noodles
    Tasha H.

    Impressed. Cute cafe, friendly service, and very good food at a reasonable price. Lots on the menu - you'll be annoyed about having to pick just a few things to try. Super cart noodle w braised broth and flat egg noodles - this was delicious. The fish cake was my favorite part. The beef was super flavorful. The broth was delicious without being overly salty. I was nervous about the egg (the photo on the menu shows a very hard boiled egg) but it came out perfectly gelled. Noodles have that authentic taste. Curry chicken: this is spicy!! But great flavor and perfect portion. Not too much chicken, but comes with broccoli, carrot, and potato. Can't wait to try more!

    Karen T.

    This place was solid! Wonton beef stew noodle soup was good, the wontons are very tasty and the beef was soft. Everything was good, tried my friend's curry sauce Ana it was tasty with a slight kick of heat. We got the rice noodles, curry balls and fish siu mai and it was also good. Red bean drink in evaporated milk tasty too.

    Fried fish balls
    Binh P.

    Their menu is quite large and portions are more than enough to share, even for a large group. But I'm not a huge fan of HK food so a lot of things we ordered weren't my favorite. I like the curry dishes and the saucy rice rolls, and that's about it. Curry has a good spice to it, and rice rolls were nice and bouncy. Fish skins, noodles, chicken cartilage, and fish balls taste pretty standard. The workers were helpful and friendly. Good to eat with a large group of people.

    10 Piece Wonton Only
    Jessica H.

    Ordered Wonton Only to go. Only took 10 min. The soup was packed on the side was nice and hot. Although alittle too salty to drink on its own, was good with the wontons. The wontons had a good filling ratio with pork meat and a shrimp. Overall, I enjoyed the quick meal however, I did think the price was a little steep for 10 wontons. Although its a Wonton Only dish, maybe added 1 choy or lettuce would lighten up the dish and make the dish more worth it for me. I would come back to try other dishes but for the price, I wouldn't visit frequently. Especially since parking can be difficult. This is a good option for people working in the area.

    Braised beef with soup noodles in spicy broth
    Shaz L.

    I feel like this location keeps changing operations and restaurant names, but the offering is somewhat the same (HK style casual dining). Came here to try their food for lunch, I ordered the braised beef with soup noodles in spicy broth -- the "mala broth" lacks depth and flavor, it tasted simply spicy, the meat was ok but on the chewier side. I did like the service though - the staff were attentive and friendly (better than most HK cafes in the US). I'll come back and try their HK milk tea next time.

    Minced meat and egg rice
    Natalie C.

    We came for lunch on a Saturday around noon and it was such a nice experience! A decent amount of empty seating and super fast service We ordered egg tarts (so good), rice rolls which were a perfect small bite, and the minced meat and egg rice was great comfort food. They had a good selection of classic comfort dishes and can't wait to be back!

    I'm happy this address houses a business that aligns comfortably with the urban vibe of western SoMa. You may recall this space was previously the memorable SO, a spicy Korean spot with kickass chicken wings. More recently, it was Beyond Cafe, a Hong Kong-style noodle house specializing in braised beef noodles and soups. The Hong Kong connection is still here, but the menu broadened. There are still noodle options but also snacks, small plates, and American-originated dishes you'd expect to find in an old-school coffee shop in Hong Kong like spaghetti and pork chops. I think the locals would likely be more drawn to a diverse selection like this. Jamie W and I sure were when we walked over to have dinner here. We split three dishes each providing satisfaction to our undemanding palates. First up was the $8.50 HK Style Rice Roll, a chewy glutinous delight covered in a sweet sesame sauce (Photo 7). Then our entree arrived, the $16 Sichuan Chilled Chicken Rice, chopped pieces of skin-on poached chicken mixed in a spicy Sichuan sesame chili sauce (Photo 9). It was Hainan chicken with a kick. We ended with the $9.50 Sizzling Green Beans, a veggie side with an attitude (Photo 10). Tasty stuff. FOOD - 4 stars...true HK-style dishes like you'd find in Kowloon AMBIANCE - 4 stars...pretty much the same spacious room it was before SERVICE - 4 stars...pretty attentive TOTAL - 4 stars...hope this one sticks around for a while RELATED - Exploring western SoMa? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://yelp.to/6LlEiqyZgy

    Hot HK Milk Tea
    Jennifer Y.

    This is likely my go-to Hong Kong style cafe in the city. The menu is vast and authentic and the restaurant has a clean, modern feel. It's usually quite busy on the weekends, but the food is worth the wait. I highly recommend their siu mai, rice roll, braised beef brisket noodle soup, and curry over rice dish.

When you're eating popcorn chicken w your husband and child and the Young & Reckless theme comes on, and you have to suppress the instinct to bow and yell Dai Lo, you know you're in a real HK cafe. They have booths on the side and tables in the middle. It feels semi-classy enough for a meal out. Like 80s Sizzler. Perks. You get scratchers in the end if you spend a certain amount. We got a blind box which turned out to be a stuffed coconut drink. And free sesame balls for our next visit.

To make matters worse, we were initially given plates that clearly had leftovers from the previous customer. When we asked for clean replacements, we were handed two more plates that were also used, with visible stains. The utensils were no better, covered in smudges and fingerprints. On top of all of this, we witnessed a man being mocked and discriminated against for not speaking Chinese. The workers clearly understood English but chose to do nothing about the situation, which was upsetting and unacceptable.

    Wasn't feeling too well so decided to get takeout from a Hong Kong cafe. I tried Venus Cafe at…read moreother locations but it was my first time at this location. There's a daily special on the whiteboard inside the restaurant that comes with a drink if you pay a few extra dollars. I wish it came with more options but can't complain. The stir fried beef was super flavorful and the beef was tender! The onion was also sweet. I would definitely get this again! The baked tomato pork chop was alright. The tomato flavor wasn't too strong, which was disappointing but the pork chop was tender and not too dry, so that was good.

Baked seafood combo with white sauce (2/5 stars): You have the choice to pick this over rice or spaghetti and I chose rice. This is my go-to item at a HK cafe so I know what I like and it is not this! The flavor was bland and needed heavy seasoning. The cream had a strange slight sweetness to it. I did appreciate the corn and the rice being egg fried rice but those were the only saving graces of the dish. If I'm craving this dish, I'd definitely go elsewhere. Beef chow fun with gravy (5/5 stars): Ok NOW we're talking! Another one of my staples, this was actually so flavorful. You can taste the "wok hei", the smoky charred flavor made by the wok on a gas stove. And to still be able to taste this under wet gravy? Just perfect. I'd get the chow fun again and try the hot desserts next time I'm here!

No frills mom & pop.. My type of place. The lady was super friendly and gave me suggestions. I seen Everyone getting the Roasted pork w/gravy, rice and corn($14.45). I was debating on getting that or the prime rib special($24.95) I went with the Roasted Pork because she said it was the most popular and I can always come back! It was amazing.

I walked in with a group of 8, we were immediately greeted by a lady who seemed to run the entire dining room. She was very to-the-point and efficient. She treated us very well, giving us complementary pan-fried dumplings, and even making sure our friend who came later got everything that the rest of us got as well. The usual Chinese menu items we ordered were all pretty standard, including the hot & sour soup. The pork chop was flavorful & cooked well, but the gravy on top of it had a weird gelatinous consistency that took a while to get used to. The prime rib was a more-adventurous item that we ordered, and although it wasn't bad, I think I'd skip it on my next visit.

There will be a little bit of a wait if you come at lunchtime, but the changing of tables is so quick, it's worth the wait. My table got many items to try out, including a number of dumplings and main dishes. We have no complaints! The servers were on top of their game, and every time a menu item was brought out, they would cross it out at the table, to ensure all our food was brought out. Each dish came out piping hot (especially the dumpling and wontons), and my favorite main dish was definitely the Braised Seafood + Tofu in Clay Pot. Pair that with some rice and your set. This place was such a vibe! Totally recommend; all our food came out quick --- everything was made-to-order, and they got nothing wrong. 10 out of 10!

    My husband and I visited Chinatown on a weekday morning. It wasn't too far of a walk from Union…read moreSquare and it was a beautiful, calm and sunny day. Shops were starting to open up and we stumbled upon Hon's Wun-Tun House. We originally wanted to go to a different dumpling house but that one was closed at the time. As we peered into Hon's storefront window, we saw employees already busy making dumplings around 9am. We decided to give it a try and we were so happy we did! The servers were quick to seat us, give us water and take our orders using their tablets. We ordered the pan fried dumplings and the scallion pancakes. Everything was delicious! The dumplings had a good amount of filling and were hot and fresh. The scallion pancakes had plenty of scallions which I appreciated. I mean it wouldn't be scallion pancakes without the ample amount of scallions, right?! Lots of customers were having breakfast and I noticed many people ordered congee, so it must be one of their best sellers. Our bellies were satisfied and we were out of there in under 30 minutes. Bill came out to be about $23 after taxes and before tip. This place is great for a group of friends or families to sit down and have a meal while visiting Chinatown. The front of the restaurant has a kiosk to place orders as well (not sure if it's only for take-out orders). It's definitely a restaurant I would go back to when we are in the area again.

Its not overly sweet and it leaves you comfortable. Fish combo is a fillet baked with an egg on top covered by aluminum wrap next to a scoop of rice and broccoli. The fillet comes out extremely tender and is consistent with the amount of times I go here. The only qualm is that they serve it with the Aluminum and I'd have to open it up and scoop it onto my plate so I avoid scraping at the aluminum ( I'm not very light with my fork ) Pork and chive potstickers were simple and an appetizer when going with friends. I wouldn't order this usually because it is just potstickers

It's your basic HK Cafe menu, with lots of different options. Nothing necessarily stellar, but if you're craving a HK cafe, this hits the spot. Service...is usually a little lacking. If they're very busy, you're likely to stand at the doorway, staring at several empty but dirty tables, waiting for staff to acknowledge your existence. The regulars will just walk in around you and sit down at a dirty table. Accept this as part of the vibe. When you order, you better know your whole order. They're not here to chit chat. Food will arrive when it wants to. Never fast enough to be fast food, but sometimes you'll be starving and want to ask the wait-staff...and the moment you do or want to, the food will magically appear. It's a mystery no one can solve. Come hungry, because the portions are large. It's almost too big for 1 person, but after you're full you realize there's only 5 bites left...and you unbuckle that belt and make it happen. Because that's what you do.
