Finally had the opportunity to visit this new HK style cafe in the old Men Kee place. I was pretty excited to have a new cafe open on this stretch of Noriega Street. My former "go-to" spot was Noriega Cafe, but that has changed to a more fusion focused foods. There was a busy lunch crowd, but we were seated fairly quickly. It's brightly lit and clean. The service was attentive (I recognized her from Noriega Cafe). They offer the standard HK style food, noodles, rice plates, a la carte (family style) dishes and of course, the specials posted on the wall in Chinese, We ordered the Singapore Rice Noodle and Wonton Fun Soup to share. After ordering, it came out quickly. The wonton soup was delicious--there were plenty of wontons to share and they were relatively large in size. However, the Singapore rice noodles, checked all the boxes, portion, color, ingredients, but I think it lacked a little in curry flavor and a touch bland--but that could have been a personal taste issue. Overall, we had a good meal and ordered take out meals for later. They also offer a variety of baked buns which is especially nice and provided another option to get bakery items other than Irving Street or further down Noriega. I ordered BBQ pork buns, custard buns, and raisin twists and it was all very delicious. This place is still fairly new, and it will have some growing pains and areas of improvement. I think it is worth checking out, if anything for the baos! read more

Fairly new combination Cantonese bakery and restaurant. Went on a Sunday for lunch and ordered: - Tomato Beef Pan Fried Noodles, the beef could be more tender - Salted Fish Pork Hash, nice pungent dish and happy to see it on the menu - Honey Walnut Prawns, good size order of 12 small-medium sized shrimp although a bit too much Mayo for us. Needed more frying / glazing before mixing with the mayo Service was good and the workers can be a bit talkative and loud, so expect a lively chatter throughout your meal. read more

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. read more

They finally opened up a Chinese bakery in this area. Outside of Pineapple King (I don't count Sheng Kee), there isn't much in the Sunset, and while the baked goods here actually aren't great (everything is super sweet and glossy), they have a full service restaurant as well. Some people previously said service was hit or miss, but I've been multiple times and service has always been great. Not sure what they're saying. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Have only been here for the bread & haven't been here for dine in. Bread options in front right when you enter. While there aren't a lot of options as compared to other stores that are exclusively bakeries, they do have a lot of staple buns (ex. cocktail buns, bbq pork buns, pineapple buns, etc.) and egg tarts. The interior is pretty standard of a small business with tables spread out across the open area. When I arrived there it was right between lunch and dinner so there wasn't anyone there. read more

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! read more

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 read more

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! read more

A little Chinese bakery with inside seating soft opened, selling buns, egg tarts, and milk tea. Local neighbors come to support this new business on Noriega Street, but I barely smell the pastries - which is always my first drawl to any bakery. I bought a iced milk tea for $4.50 - a decent price considering bobas are nearly double. Service was a little low in energy and considering they haven't had their grand opening yet, I wish them 加油！Bring up the vibe and smile for success! read more

This restaurant replaced Men Kee Restaurant where my family went for years for take out. They closed due to COVID and recently a new restaurant/owner took over! This place has a bakery section which you will see it right as you enter and then on the right is their restaurant part. I thought this was an interesting concept as you don't normally see a restaurant doing this. We came on a Tuesday night and this is what we ordered: Calamari $12.95: So crispy and yummy! Great portion. Just wish it came with some lemon wedges. Salted fish, diced chicken, and eggplant clay pot $16.95: This was slightly to oily in my opinion, but my oh my it had so much salted fish!!! You definitely need to eat rice with this dish. Eggplants were cooked perfectly, so soft and love the crisp on the skin. Fujian-style fried rice $14.95: Wasn't a huge fan of this, everything felt a bit soggy. Almost felt like I was eating an undercooked porridge. Probably wouldn't order it again~ read more

New bakery in the area that we decided to check out. Picked up the bbq pork bolo, custard bolo, green onion bread, coconut cream bun, and milk teas. Hubs liked the bbq pork bolo and green onion bread. Haven't had a coconut cream bun for a while and this one was light and fluffy. The cream filling was also light and not too sweet. The bolo was crispy on top and the bun was fluffy - good. Milk teas were just ok. While friendly, the service seemed to be all over the place. Although we received our hot milk teas fairly quickly, there were customers there before us who ordered cold milk teas and had still not received them even after asking several times for status. Will give them some time to see if they improve. read more

I saw this new spot in the area and wanted to give it a try. I got the cocktail bun, pineapple bun, baked bbq pork bun and a custard bun. I think they are all solid in terms of flavor and texture but I wish the bbq bun was less soggy. There are also drink options in the store but I wish the store was a little more enticing but maybe it just opened so they might need more time to spice the place up! read more

Checking out this new local bakery in the sunset district. The bakery has a good selection and variety. Not sure if this price for the bakery is on par with other local bakery for buns since it's been a while since I got buns in the city. The egg tart price is on par with other places at $2.50 a piece. I think they are ok. I think Mr bread is a little better. The pineapple bun was very flaky which I enjoy. The beef brisket wonton noodle soup was pretty good. The beef was very tender. The wontons were good size and tasty. The broth was pretty good. The beef brisket chow fun was good. The dish was very flavorful and the beef was very tender. A little different from normal beef chow fun but it's worth it. I enjoyed the dish a lot. Good size to share. Good size restaurant for the sunset with a few tables. Wasn't too busy for a Saturday morning around 11am. The place is clean read more

Had to check out a new Chinese Bakery and Cafe style restaurant. I saw from IG that a mom and pops and open this restaurant and said that it took them a long time to open this business.

We ordered Peking Ribs, Beef Stew Clay Pot, Braised Tofu, salt fish chicken fried rice, wonton noodle and Singaporean stir fry noodle.

Disappointed at their attitude and way of handling this situation... Here on thanksgiving... The male baker in the photo was refilling the pastries when my husband was kneeling down to deal with our kid.

Did not look apologetic at all. As for the food... all the pastry are cold and very mid. read more

This was a very solid spot for all the Chinese/Canto pastries you can think of! They had all sorts of things ranging from cocktail buns, pineapple buns, durian filled pineapple bun, baked bbq pork buns, you name it, they have it. I got one of my all time favorites, which is actually not a very common pastry that's sold in bakeries, a durian filled pineapple bun! First bite into this pillow-y goodness and I was hooked! Plus the bun itself was absolutely massive! It was as big as my hand! The bun was oh so soft that it nearly melted in my mouth. The durian custard as delicious, not crazy pungent, but still had a ton of durian flavor. The place was packed too and I can definitely see why it would be because all the items were decently priced and delicious! read more

Since they were new, we went for a mid-morning walk to check out this place. The ambiance is comfy, and they spent some money on the place to make it look amazing. Right when you walk in, they have self-service Chinese buns like BBQ pork buns, pineapple buns, and even egg tarts. Was curious, so I bought a pork bun, an egg tart, and a scallion bun. The pork bun tastes like a cafe bakery, which has enough filling. The scallion bun was good, and the flavors were on point. Egg tarts are so so. We also bought a chicken chow fun, which I would say has good taste, but the chicken is a bit salty. Got a milk tea but had to wait. I can tell the staff can get a little overwhelmed, which can make them a bit rude, but service is key in the business. One thing is that the food came out slowly, and getting my milk tea takes some time, too. Since it is a new place, I want to give them another chance and will probably return in the upcoming weeks. read more

this is for the dine in experience. we went on a weekday around 2:30pm so it wasn't busy at all. since the place is new, the place is clean. we got a table quickly but after that, it took quite a bit to flag anyone down to order. we even asked the gentleman who came out from the kitchen who served a dish to another table that we were ready to order. he just pretty much ignored us and went back into the kitchen. there were 4 front store worker but no one paying attention to us, all doing their own thing which wasn't much of anything. the same guy came out again and we had to shout to him we are ready to order. he said he doesn't take down orders and shouted to another lady to help us instead. I don't understand why no one heard us the first couple times nor see our hands waving in the air (it's a small place). I got their wonton noodle soup. I based a lot of places on how well this simple dish is made. this dish has a lot of room for improvement. I don't taste any shrimp in the wontons, mostly pork. The wonton skin is thick and size wise it is small. the noodle is average with no bounce, the soup is a little bland. I can appreciate that it came with veggies. my friend got the seafood stir fried crispy noodles. she spit out the shrimp because it had a rotten taste (?!). we were almost done with our food but still missing a dish so when we asked about it, they went into the kitchen to ask and then came back to tell us the ingredient is not available....why is there no communication between the kitchen and the front? I live 1.5 blocks away, I don't see myself coming back for their hot food. I have not tried their pastries yet. read more
