Braised Beef stew noodle soup
Jackson C.

Fairly new Hong Kong style cafe opening in the Sunset district on Noriega St. Of course, they offer HK style tea which is typically a strong tea like black tea mixed with condensed milk and/or evaporated milk. It's pretty good, not too sweet, reasonably strong tea flavor. Near the entrance, they sell a variety of Chinese style buns and breads which I didn't try this time. The place wasn't too packed during lunch time. For in-dining (or takeout for that matter), they offer rice plates and noodle dishes like wonton and braised beef. Not the most extensive selection but adequate. Many HK style cafes offer baked rice or spaghetti dishes but not offered here. I tried the braised beef noodle soup which was actually served with a large bowl compared to others I've had, probably due to a little more noodles than other places. The food tasted pretty average but the prices are reasonable so it's an adequate lunch option. Wish the beef was a little more tender.

pineapple bun with butter $2.50

My truck was getting an oil change across the street. The restaurant was full at 9:15am. My order was a pineapple bun with butter $2.50 and wonton noodles combo milk tea $11. You can also select coffee or soy milk instead of the milk tea. Any iced drink with the combo will be an additional $1.50. The wonton noodles were surprisingly good. It contained a slight sesame powder taste, just like the ones from HK. The pineapple bun took about 30 minutes to make as it is not on the menu. They did a good job with melting the butter on a warm bun. Overall, service was slow but sufficed to say, understandable as they were swamped with to-go bakery, online and dine-in orders with only two people working. Most of the tables stayed un-bussed.

This place is so clutch when you're looking for a bakery that's open early on the weekend! I've stopped by here a couple of times to pick up some baos for the boys while the yard is getting remodeled. They have a really good variety of baos as well as cafe food that starts at 10:30am. Starting today 3/29, they are even serving breakfast! From 6:30am - 10am, Who doesn't love some HK cafe brekkie? Some of my favorite items are bbq pork buns, pineapple buns, and they even have pineapple bbq pork buns! The Macau egg tarts are also very yummy and the Hong Kong milk tea. The restaurant is clean and the front counter ladies are so sweet and nice. Pastries are baked fresh every morning and if you need a big order, make sure to call them in advance so they can prep for you!

We came here for the first time yesterday for brunch/lunch. We come in from Sacramento and this place is recommended to my sister who lives in San Francisco to try it! The place is clean and beautifully lit very bright inside. We're glad we tried it. The food was excellent. The bakery goods were beautifully displayed. When we finished our brunch/lunch, we got a tray full of bakery goods to bring home to Sacramento. I was so disappointed when I got home that when I bought 3 custard tarts that she placed them up on top of each other and they were flattened by the time I got home certainly not as beautiful as when I bought them. I was embarrassed to give them to my friend who I bought them for! The next time I go there, I will definitely let her know not to put them on top of each other!

Disappointing Restaurant Experience -- Hoping for Improvement We visited on Saturday, Feb. 7 (party of five, 5:30-6:30pm). The menu is the same all day, starting at 10:30am. We ordered six dishes for about $120 after tip, and unfortunately, the food was mostly mediocre. Examples below: 1. Beef Brisket Noodle Soup was too salty; my 9-year-old nephew only ate the noodles. 2. Tomato Beef Chow Mein lacked flavor at first, though the second version was better after we sent it back. 3. Peking Ribs tasted off and had too much visible fat, making them hard to enjoy. Improvements needed: Consistency - flavors and seasoning need to be more reliable across dishes. Management presence - more oversight would help maintain quality. I've only seen the owner or her son here only 3 of the 10 times that I've visited. Service - check-ins with customers would have gone a long way, especially with only a few tables occupied. I can't recommend dining here for now, but I hope this new family-run spot takes feedback seriously and improves--it has potential.

REVIEW FOR BAKERY ONLY: Good variety of pastry selection. DIY style of service (grab your own pastries). Particular standouts were the pork bun and the Macau egg tart. Prices were very reasonable, pastries under $3. Will be back!

Pretty clean restaurant and bakery  (Can smell the chlorine, since it was still early and relatively empty)
Grace C.

We arrived 11:30 and the restaurant was still pretty empty. They started us quickly. We ordered quickly before the rush; but I think they are still pretty new and took quick a while for the food to come. The decor was pretty standard Chinese restaurant, food has a little msg and tasted decent, portions were solid. Pricing was not bad. Overall avg about $15/dish. It's pretty convenient that it is attached to the bakery so you can hit two birds with one. They have some unique items like durian pineapple bun.,. Total came to $27/person. Will return for a quick bite when needed.

I kept seeing this place all over IG when LoafHK first opened, so we had to check it out. We've really been missing solid Chinese restaurants in the Sunset, especially after so many OG spots closed post-COVID, and this definitely hit the spot. We ordered the salted fish diced chicken fried rice, which was so good--super flavorful, you could actually taste the salted fish, and it came out piping hot. The salted fish eggplant with diced chicken in a clay pot was also really delicious. The string beans with beef were another standout--very flavorful and well done. The salt and pepper calamari was just okay IMO; the calamari itself was a bit bland and most of the flavor came from the batter. Lastly, we got the tomato beef crispy noodle. It was fine, but not something I'd normally order--though my friends really enjoyed it. Overall, everything we ordered was good, and we'd definitely come back to try more dishes. A lot of people around us were ordering noodle soups, so that's next on our list. Service was amazing. The staff were super nice, and we stayed for a while just chatting and catching up. They didn't mind at all--in fact, they kept refilling our tea and even said, "Let me clear the table so you can sit and chat more comfortably." Like... who does that?! We came on a Friday and it was a bit busy, but the place has such a cozy, homey café vibe--somewhere you can eat, relax, and really enjoy your time. Will definitely be back.

I want to like this place and definitely want to support small businesses. However since opening we have been here multiple times. Service n food just gets worse. Unlike most Chinese restaurants they are not accommodating. Poor hygiene, even if they have gloves on the finger is IN MY FOOD and the same gloves handles cash. So disappointed. This place will NOT be my choice for Chinese food.

After a group lunch, some suggested checking out this new bakery. Upon entering, a nice selection of Asian pastries awaits. I'm one of those people who likes durian and was pleasantly surprised to find a durian pineapple bun for sale, $4.25. At first I thought it was just the top part of the bun that included a durian flavor, but after a few bites, real durian pieces were inside the bun! It was pretty tasty. I was also impressed with the lemon roll cake slice, these are seemingly hard to find these days. Unfortunately, they didn't have any Taiwan milk tea during my visit. The food menu also looks tasty and very reasonably priced. Hope to try the drinks and food next time I visit. #38/2025

Stopped to kill an hour while my car was being serviced across the street. Had a don tot (egg tart) and Hong Kong milk tea and both were good. The crust on the don tot was not as flaky as some I've had, but it was good and the custard was not too sweet. I enjoyed it and would recommend it. The pastries are in cases and you serve yourself with the tongs and trays off to the side, so you can take your time to decide. Some of the food I saw others eating, especially the tomato beef chow mein, looked good and the prices are reasonable, so maybe I'll come back for lunch soon!

Becky V.

Friendly courteous staff helping us. Food is pretty good with a good variety of choices on the menu, whether you feel like rice plates, clay pots, veggies, appetizers, or anything. Chinese food. Buns for sale up in front too, grab and go style. Not a lot put out because the space is small so staff member was continuously refilling it. Interesting item: durian pastry, very big size for a pastry bun. Good prices Lunch food- -beef chow mean: popular dish, many tables ordered -Mongolian beef: tasty, lot of sauce. Best eaten over rice -salty fish fried rice: if you like salty taste. Smells good -seafood fried noodle: good taste, wish there were more seafood meat pieces because it was more noodle and not so much meat

Pineapple Bun

Chinese bakeries seem to be a dime a dozen out here in the Outer Sunset... Well, add this one to the list! LoafHK bakery opened about three weeks ago, and they are still in their "soft opening" phase. I happened to be nearby, so I decided to head on in and check it out.. Inside, just grab a cafeteria tray and a pair of tongs, and pull what you want from the clear drawers full of freshly baked Chinese pastries on hand. Self-service, ya know.. Friendly counter staff, with a cozy dining area where you can enjoy your treats. While I was there, they had all the standard offerings - Pineapple Buns, Baked Char Siu Buns, Raisin twists, Custard Tarts and many others. Oddly, all of the baked goods looked rather dry, as they lacked the shiny attractive glaze that you see on pastries everywhere else. Perhaps they are trying to be healthy by avoiding that sugary (or eggy) glaze, but it does make the items look a lot less attractive. Nevertheless, I chose to try their cinnamon bun and a baked BBQ Pork Bun just for starters. Cinnamon Bun: Unfortunately, the cinnamon bun was just as dry as it looked, and the cinnamon bun tasted rather bland. Mind you, I'm not a sugar hound, but it would have benefited from being more moist with a stronger cinnamon flavor to it. This was fresh.. but just so dry and without much flavor. I hope they improve on this.. (2.5/5) The BBQ bun was a little better, but even though the bread in the bun was dry and lifeless, the pork was OK, though nothing like the image of the BBQ bun pictured on the sign out in front. I truly wish the best for LoafHK, and again, since this is a soft opening, I do hope they tighten up their game soon!

Having heard nothing but rave reviews for AB, I finally tried it for myself and now understand why…read morethere's always line. Due to scheduling, I wasn't able to arrive until an hour before closing on a Friday which meant many of the items were sold out. When I arrived, there was a line so I had my buddy drop me off while he found parking. In retrospect, I should have had him drive around the block a few times as the line moved fast and there wasn't much to choose from. Since we both didn't know how quick the transaction would be, he figured out the metered parking, which was a feat in and of itself, and when he was walking over to the bakery, I was done with pastries in hand. Only one customer is allowed in the narrow shop at a time while the other customers queue up waiting to be signaled to step forward. As for seating, there is none so no one hangs around. Of the croissants remaining, I ordered all of them: Chocolate Almond Croissant - full of almond paste and chocolate, you could share this one, but why? This was my favorite. Almond Croissant - very good Kouign-amann - good sized While you can't enjoy the warm croissants with coffee at the shop, my buddy and I tucked in as soon as we got into the car. Good thing we carry a vacuum to clean up all the crumbs.

Croissants are always amazing! Good service…read more Always a line get there early. Best place in town.

No matter what flavor the croissant is, it is consistently flaky and buttery. The classic pistachio cardamom sugar croissant is one of my favorite sweet items. Its not too sweet and the flavors are prominent. The rice roll was my favorite monthly flavor for september. The bun was pillowy and soft with meat, scallions and cilantro scattered throughout.

I hadn't had a traditional one yet this year, so that was a plus for me. Normally I'm not crazy about the nut moon cakes, but this one was terrific! It was the best moon cake I've had in a while - regular lotus seed with yolk and nuts. The lady at the bakery reminded me of an "auntie" and she was super friendly! Even though today was moon cake, I took a chance and asked if she had any wife cake (Low Po Behng). Unfortunately she didn't, but we had a nice little conversation in Cantonese and it brought me back to childhood and Chinatown in L.A. back in the day. Some people might not like that it's closed (I think that's when she runs out or isn't baking that day) but that's just how it goes. It's nothing personal if someone drives a long way and it's closed. It sounds like sometimes the lines can be long (There was no line for us today - score!) but it's everyone's choice if they're willing to wait or not. It's a little place and you order through the door. To me, that just adds to the quirky adventure of it all. Next time I hope she has Low Po Behng!

Whatever the lady makes for the day, that's the item to get and it can run out soon - then they close shop. Be prepared to pay with cash. There is a Chase and Citibank across the street. If you have a chance to meet "auntie", consider yourself special. Enjoyed our time with a little chit chat - since we were fortunate that it wasn't busy yet. I know some may be upset that it wasn't opened when they showed up - but that's kind of what makes it special - when you do get there in the right day and time. So be warned about the randomness of it all and consider yourself lucky if get a treat.

(i sound like an american health influencer...oh wait i am american). anyway they're a bit too sweet but the frangipane tastes good. the plain one is boring in a bad way. pain suisse is okay too. it's ironic that their best croissants are the day-old ones since they are twice baked with frangipane pumpkin bread was pretty good! again a bit too sweet but spice and pumpkin came in strong like pow pow. bostock was good too - my first time. again a twice baked pastry except it's brioche and the syrup is passionfruit. the fruit flavor was slight but i wish it was stronger. super interesting to eat though i also wish that the heat and freshness of the pastries didn't vary so wildly. some days they're cold as frozen peas and other days they're nice and crispy and warm and fluffy and fireplace-y and hot-mug-y. sorry i have a lot of wishes. unfortunately big B may not be able to satisfy them. i wish i can go back to try the black sesame one but i'm too broke and i have an astronomically low attention span so i can't wait in line
