    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!

    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!

I only tried it because I could neither spell nor pronounce it, but my goodness was I glad I did. It was literally heaven in my mouth. Since then, I have nary turned down Kouign-Amman when I see it on a menu. But never has any tasted quite as good as the one in Sedona... Today came close when I stopped at Arsicault Bakery. The line was a little intimidating but once in line it moves quickly. 15 minutes. I love Kouign-amann for what it is and isn't. It has simple Ingredients. A classic pastry from Brittany, France, it only contains yeast dough, butter, and sugar. Bakers fold sugar and butter into the dough in layers. As it bakes, the sugar melts to create a crispy, caramelized crust on the outside and soft, buttery layers on the inside--with no fruit fillings, so the one I tried in Sedona did a modern twist on it that strayed from its traditional counterpart, which I just happened to absolutely love. The Arsicault version has an impeccably crispy, caramelized crust and buttery layers inside that are so spongy and soft. It was rounded perfection. Given that it's been 6 years since I was Layla's Bakery in Sedona I cannot with certainty say which was better: Sedona wins for modifying the traditional with added apple compote (kudos to them for that tweak), but Arsicault wins for how close it is to what the traditional kouign-amann should be. The crisp, caramelized outer layers contrast with the satisfyingly soft center. Perfection. They say Arsicault has the best croissants in San Francisco. I haven't tried many others here, but I believe from what I've had of this so far that statement is likely accurate. I am too full at present to eat the almond croissant, but will tonight to make my decision on how it fares compared to the best almond croissant I've had thus far--in Santa Barbara at Goat Tree Cafe.

Never could score a preorder box, and instead, line up at 7:45 (earliest you can line up) and wait until opening at 9. Usually spend total 1.5 hours here after receiving the pastries. 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. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. There is a max 10 pastries, 3 of each pastries limit for each party. They're also able to separate pastries into different boxes if requested when ordering.

They have a pink espresso machine, a pink dough mixer, and the cup lids are pink.

The Pistachio croissant...Pretty special, I never had it with a cream filling. The little flat bread with eggplant and pomegranates and harissa drizzle...super!. Tahini chocolate.....the list goes on...The olive bread. So if you are going to make it to any part of the northern CA area, specially San Francisco (Yes, there are great bakeries around here), I would put this on the top of the list, as the preparation is all from scratch, and the unique flavors and approach to some well known treats is something one must enjoy. Oh, and on top of that, I ordered a plain espresso, and the barista managed to do it justice. So dont be on the fence on the coffee making and quality. The location is on the steeper roads that I have no idea how people deal with living here. Good job, as once you stop in the middle of the climb, you will likely spin some tire to get traction, and that is on a dry day! The bakery is among a residential area.

Here is what I found after having the one from B Patisserie: Pros: compote-ish filling, albeit very little of it, with no actual fruit so I couldn't tell if it was apple or pear. If they had included actual fruit that would've been a game changer for me. Or even more of it--with cinnamon. - there is indoor seating, which is nice if you're looking for that. If you are looking for a sit down place, this is the place, compared to Arsicault's grab and go - this bakery has more choices and bigger staff. Cons: - price point. Arsicault's KA is $5.50, compared to the $7 apiece here. I get it, the rental space is bigger and there is seating as opposed to the grab and go nature of Arsicault so price has to reflect the higher operating costs. I can do without seating. For the price differential, without more filling, the difference is immaterial for me so its higher price doesn't justify itself because I'm only getting KA. People who want variety of choices may enjoy B Patisserie better - slightly smaller in size to Arsicault's round perfection of a KA - no real center of spongy soft goodness bc they fold it in at the outside and the pastry dips in the middle so you have less pastry. While both KA are good, I would say Arsicault wins out on overall taste. There is more to enjoy bc it's bigger, so the outer layer of caramelized crispness contrasts the soft, spongy filling. B Patisserie has the crispy outside but it's folded in at the edges for presentation and dips in the middle so there is less pastry that it's mostly just crispy with a very small middle filling. Good but overall, Arsicault is much more satisfying with a good cup of coffee for me.
