    jumbo green apple slush with mango jelly topping
    Colette J.

    I love quickly! My favorite drink is their green apple slushy with mango jelly. I wait for mine to melt a little bit so I still get the flavor without the icy consistency. I work nearby so I decided to try this location after work. My only complaint is that the location itself is small, however it's convenient to get to as it's near a few bus stops. Can't really do much about the location size however--that's San Francisco for ya! For the amount of drink that you get for a jumbo size, I paid around $8. They do charge for extra toppings so there's that. But nevertheless it was a refreshing treat and a good after work pick me up to hold me over until dinner!

    This is a decent Quickly. I stopped by to pickup a snack after lunch, a popcorn chicken $8.50. They have a self-ordering ipad station now. The portions seemed smaller than their Irving St. location. The wait was about 15+ minutes. They weren't that busy either. When I got a text saying the food is ready, the cashier allowed someone else to get my food. I had to wait another two minutes for the other person's order to come out. The cashier should have checked. The popcorn chicken tasted OK. It needed a lot of red powder.

    07.31.22 order here, seating upstairs
    May A.

    They are open during street construction Located in Chinatown, Quickly is a counter service bubble tea shop that offers snacks and quick bites. Their popcorn chicken is the most popular on the menu which is what I chose and it was made to order. Took a little bit of wait. From sweet potato fries to fried egg rolls and fried mini octopus... there were something like 30 different snacks to choose from... and most items are only $4.50! But wait... there's more! You can have any of these items in a Bento Bowl! I ordered my popcorn chicken to go but upstairs has some table seating. You may want to purchase that little bag to hold your fried snack because it is piping hot!!! So good and yummy. Hubby and I shared an order. If you don't already know what flavor drink you want... good luck! There's like a hundred to choose from. I exaggerate, of course, but you get the idea. There's just too many flavors to choose from.

    I ordered the popcorn chicken and found a hair attached to the chicken. Please be more mindful of hygiene and food safety.

    The misleading "Special Promotion" sign for the Tiger Milk Tea
    Leo I.

    Quickly fell short of my expectations. I was looking for a quick stop to grab boba as I headed into Chinatown, and I will give it that: I did get my order "Quickly." I ordered the Tiger Milk Tea, which was a mix of Thai tea and the original black milk tea, with 50% sugar and no ice. I was surprised to find that despite a poster being hung up with "$2.99" as the price, the drink was now priced at $4.75 (a number nowhere on the sign). (It was $4.25 + the Tapioca Pearls for an extra $0.50). Regardless of being off-put by this, I still ordered the drink. The Tapioca Pearls were mushy and the tea itself was very average. I expected much more for the price point and won't return here.

    Popcorn chicken and curly fries
    Amy L.

    Stopped by here for a quick bite to eat in Chinatown. The popcorn chicken is so good, crunchy breading and tender on the inside. Also loved the curly fries. The portions were surprisingly huge and we could have just split one portion between three people.

    Popcorn Chicken

    When you want something deep fried and filling for not much money (by San Francisco standards), this is the place. I wouldn't say any particular dish is crave worthy though. Still a good bet for the convenience and price. Popcorn Chicken: Quite plentiful for the price! Not as crispy as KFC, but crispy enough. A lighter batter. Could use some dipping sauce though; good thing I had some at home. Teriyaki Tofu: Large thin rectangles of soft-ish tofu deep fried. The fried layer wasn't crunchy, but more like a soft tempura. Inside, it was nice and supple even after frying. A nice dose of teriyaki sauce helped liven it up. Spam Musubi: Pretty standard. Tasted made-to-order since the rice was warm and the seaweed wasn't soggy. Liked that the spam was fried up a bit. Could have used more sauce over the spam though, since it was a little dry.

    Popcorn Chicken Bento

    Coming from SoCal, I want to say that Quickly up here is kind of pricey. You go to Quickly for their standard boba milk tea that's usually around $3 or less (which I don't know if this location has) and then their popcorn chicken. This location seems decent. I got a large honey boba milk tea (didn't have too much ice just by default and wasn't too sweet without any adjustments) and a popcorn chicken "bento" came out to less than $12-not bad when a regular boba will set you back $7-12. It was lunchtime so I ordered a "bento" instead of just popcorn chicken, thinking it would look like the menu picture and come with some kind of small salad or veggie or even pickles. I was wrong. It seriously came with a ton of rice and some soy sauce poured on it. Wow lol The popcorn chicken chunks were decently sized but not well seasoned. I feel that if they're gonna accommodate weaklings who can't handle white pepper then they should provide it on the size but they did not. I wonder if I should've asked for it? Red pepper? Some spice mix? Hm. The bonus is that it did come in a compostable container (Ik, I'm so surprised).

    Dairy free milk tea with boba

    Super delicious and affordable boba. I loooove that their milk teas are all nondairy, made with coconut milk (my lactose intolerance loves it too). Definitely popping in for another quick fix sometime soon.

    Oolong Milk Tea with tapioca and egg pudding
    Shirley P.

    My partner and I came here before dinner, and it was pretty popular for a Saturday around 5pm. The staff were really friendly and ready to answer questions about their selection. It's a pretty popular franchise internationally and across the US. The drink and snack options are endless here, they have plenty of toppings to choose from as well, and it's definitely a place where you have to take a minute to peruse before you decide. My partner did the strawberry delight, and I ordered an oolong milk tea. They seem to have one size for all of their beverages. This is also the only place I've ever been to that truly gives me a no sugar feel that's actually natural and delicious. I was so blown away and appreciated it thoroughly. The tapioca doesn't taste like it's flavored in brown sugar, it tasted like they just made a fresh batch just for me, and that's just not common in any of the bubble tea shops I've been to in my lifetime. This place is definitely a grab and go type of spot, and it's unclear to me if they have an area upstairs that's an extension of what's downstairs but more space to hang out and enjoy the beverages. I saw a couple of people go up and down, and they had the Quickly cups. The staff also didn't advertise it to people to go upstairs. This place does seem to have something for everyone, and if we weren't about to go to dinner, I most likely would've snacked on something there. Everything on the menu sounds so good, and it didn't help that I'm an indecisive person. I'm glad I stuck with my usual though, and it was better than I expected. I almost said let's pass on it, and I'm glad I didn't. I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for bubble tea, something to drink and something to snack on. Based on my experience, they seem to be very accommodating to requests on how you want your drink to be made, and it makes me happy to see that because dietary restrictions should be taken seriously.

    I went years ago. Missing all that the big area has to offer. I could see myself living here. This is a refreshment must visit but here in Chinatown. We've been walking around for several hours around the bay area. Checking out all the buildings and figure out the lay of the land. We stumbled on the bubble tea spot here in Chinatown. It's seem to be where everybody was going, so we had to join and check it out ourselves. We got some yummy refreshments, called and sweet. I always get the same thing as a mango slushy or Slurpee drink with Boba at the bottom and mango pops.

    Ssal is a one-Michelin-star Korean tasting menu restaurant on Polk Street, and it should have two…read more We came here to celebrate our birthday and anniversary, and it could not have been a more perfect choice. Fourteen courses, each rooted in traditional Korean cuisine but presented in a way that feels fresh and surprising. You don't get a menu until the end of the meal, so every course is a surprise, which honestly made it even more fun. The space has that perfect minimalist Korean aesthetic: calm, intentional, and beautiful without trying too hard. Service was warm and personal while still being polished, the kind where you feel genuinely looked after without it ever feeling stiff. The courses: - Island Creek Oyster, Choujang: Arrives on a covered bowl of smoked charred grass, and that smoky aroma hits you before you even take a bite. The choujang was not too spicy and paired perfectly with the oyster. A brilliant way to open. - Bluefin Tuna, Kaluga Caviar, Handmade Sesame Oil: The star here was actually the seaweed. The crunch and full seaweed flavor was outstanding and tied everything together. - Australian Wagyu, Emerald Kiwi, Pine Nut: Sweet and savory. The tart base had a satisfying bite and the kiwi brightness against the wagyu richness worked really well. - Roasted Sweet Potato, Périgord Truffle: The truffle is shaved over the potato. It could have come inside the crochette, but then you'd lose the visual. Delicious either way. - Live American Eel, Koshihikari, Gamtae: The gamtae seaweed tastes almost like a tea, delicate and slightly floral. It balanced beautifully with the eel and was one of the most unique bites of the night. - Hokkaido Sweet Prawn, Brokaw Avocado, Kaluga Caviar + Ssal x Arsicault Bakery Croissant: Meant to be eaten like avocado toast, and it works beautifully. The only thing I'd add is a pinch of finishing salt on the avocado. The croissant is the famous Arsicault one with 320 layers, incredibly fluffy but not the least bit oily. - Dungeness Crab, Bafun Sea Urchin, Gold Queen Rice: The standout of the night. Comforting and elegant all at once. It reminded me of that moment when you're eating crab, you save the top shell with all the roe and juices, add rice, and mix it together. That's exactly this, but elevated. So good. - Korean Abalone, Bloomsdale Spinach, Malted Fingerling: I've always found abalone too tough, but not here. Tender, flavorful. - Cuttlefish, Chrysanthemum, Dubu, Deonjang Beurre Blanc: The cuttlefish had that perfect fresh chew, almost a crunch, that you want from really good cuttlefish. - Sablefish, Zuckerman Green Asparagus, Fermented Chili Jorim: Could not believe this was fish. It cuts through like butter. - Wolfe Ranch Quail, Bokbunja, Red Ginseng: A whole quail split between each couple at the table. Rich, tender, and very savory. - KBBQ Galbi, Tteokgalbi, Morel, Black Garlic: An optional add-on course and absolutely worth it. The galbi is not A5, but it looks and tastes like it is. The marbling comes through on every single bite. - Asian Pear, Omija, Cinnamon: Omija is also called the five flavor berry, and it really does deliver all five. The combination of the jelly, fresh pear, and sorbet made for a really interesting mix of textures. - Albion Strawberry, Yogurt, Mint / Mignardises & Fruit: The fruit plate of strawberry, mulberry, and cherries. This also comes with a burdock tea, which I am now obsessed with and have already ordered on Amazon. The menu is signed by the kitchen team and given to you at the end as a keepsake. Thank you Ssal for a great and memorable night!

    I've never expected to come to a Chinese restaurant in the Marina, but there's a first time for…read moreeverything. This place was very nice as the interior and exterior was exquisitely designed. Their patio is one of the best places in the city for a date night! Pork and Truffle XLB (5/5): Just wow! This XLB was packed with juicy flavor and the truffle definitely stole the show. Shrimp Pork Wonton (5/5): I really liked the peanut butter in this dish as it was unique compared to other wontons. It was earthy but also packed with umami flavor Mushroom spring roll (5/5): Definitely one of best eggroll I've ever had. The skin was flaky and not too crunchy. The mushroom created this unique flavor I've never had in an eggroll. Ahi Tuna tostada (5/5): This was my favorite because I love raw fish, but nontheless this was amazing. The fish was fresh and the avocado packed it with flavor. Szechuan chicken (5/5); This was great bite to share with the table. A lil kick with a big punch of flavor. Lettuce cup chicken (5/5): Nice balance of crunch and savory. I loved how the chicken wa spackled with flavor and lettuce was refreshing. Chilean Sea bass (5/5); Glazed with miso so it was perfectly sweet. I liked the texture of the fish as it had a nice chewiness. Stir fired beef (5/5): Very tender and packed with flavor. The smokiness reminds me of a steakhouse Sweet & tangy chicken (5/5): This comes with a half pineapple. It has a sweet glazed tangy flavor and the chicken had delicate texture. Roasted egg plant (5/5): I don't even like eggplant and I loved this dish. The eggplant was perfectly cooked as it wasn't too mushy and tofu was silky soft. I loved how it absorbs the rich sauce. Sautéed green beans (5/5); Perfectly delicate and simple. Can't go wrong with this. Mouthai Char Siu (5/5);This comes with Fiji apples to cleanse your palette. The pork jowl was flavorful and fatty. Just the way I like it. Fried rice (5/5): Very solid and comforting. Garlic Shrimp noodles (5/5); similar to Alfredo and I really liked how light it was. Overall I really enjoyed my experience and the food here. It's also affordable compared to other restaurants in the area.

    Very upscale spot for modern chinese food tucked away in Marina -- I always walk by and am curious…read moreabout it! Finally came here on a whim and they had tons of seating available during dinner time. The inside is very swanky and I like the layout a lot. However, it was super loud inside so almost impossible to hear across the booth (the chairs were also super far apart so that also added to the difficulty). Food was really good-- way better than I expected! The dim sum type apps were all super flavorful and didn't taste too americanized. I loved the pan fried bbq pork buns, crab siu mai, and the prawn toast. The garlic shrimp noodles were tasty but tasted just like garlic and butter so nothing too special; would try something else next time. The beef short rib was the only miss for our table; the seasoning leaned too sweet for us and i didn't love the flavor of the beef. Overall a nice spot and definitely embodies the vibe of a "lounge" -- they look like they'd have a fun drink menu. Service was okay, but food came out very quickly and in courses which was nice.

The dumplings were very flavorful as well and the skin wasn't too thick. The pork filling also had some veggies which was a nice touch. The chili oil that was included was also pretty good!

Undeniably first rate although a tad too spicy for my hubs. Maaaaybe for me too, though I don't like to admit it since I like to think that I possess a high threshold for spice. Like I'm some kind of spice ninja or something. But, in actuality, I'm just not. Hot & spicy dumplings. I hate mushy dumplings & these were nothing of the sort. Full of flavor, but not too spicy. Beef noodle soup. Hubs LOVED this so much that now he orders it every time. Fried rice. I order fried rice every time I order any Chinese food, just fact. This fried rice is stellar! So fresh, perfectly cooked, & not greasy. Win. Barbecued pork buns. Dynamite! Scallion pancake. Not too thick, not too thin. Not overcooked, not undercooked. Not too greasy. They got it right. Crab & cream cheese "rolls." For whatever reason, I feel compelled to order crab rangoon whenever I order Chinese, & this is their equivalent. They're more like "packets," thin & flat. The ratio of vessel to filling is just disproportionate. Where's the crab? Perhaps more importantly, where's the crab flavor? Lots of potential here but they fall flat. This appetizer is the only thing we've tried here that we haven't loved. Dumpling Union is now our favorite for Chinese delivery. Thank you DU for bringing us such a fresh & quality option for Chinese food. 4 & 1/2 stars.

    Celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary here. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful! The dining…read moreroom is elegant and sophisticated. Now, it is somewhat dimly lit, which makes reading the menu a bit difficult. Definitely had to pull out my phone to see! The service was exceptional. Everyone was super attentive and kind. The food was delicious, but the portions were a bit smaller than I remembered. The crab puffs were tasty, but soo very small, definitely wanted more. The satay was super good, but again, left us wanting more. Only 1 small skewer of beef and chicken. The garlic noodles were good, but a tad bit dryer than I'd like. The shaking beef was soo good, but more veggies and potatoes than beef. For dessert I had the creme brulee and it did not miss! This is definitely somewhere I'd come back to and recommend.

    Whether you're ordering the dumplings, garlic noodles, or crab, all the dishes are made with…read moreattention to detail and taste good. The Bo Kho dumplings were beautifully presented and tasted like Bo Kho. Probably my favorite thing I ate during the night! However, both Bo Kho and dumplings individually are not expensive items. So to put a $25 price tag for only 4 dumplings, it definitely feels a bit hard to justify getting it again for the price. That theme felt pretty much the same throughout the night. All of the dishes were decent and were presented nicely, but nothing I tasted made me go "wow, I need more of this". Crab was fresh, but nothing amazing was done to it that a fresh crab from another restaurant could not emulate. Service was attentive for the most part, and the ambiance of the restaurant is top notch. Don't think I'd come back again for a while personally. Nonetheless, if you're just here for the vibes and maybe a drink with a date/colleague, then this is a solid spot!
