I come here sometimes for lunch while I'm at work. This place is nothing fancy but just gets the job done. My go to is the beef chow fun and it's done perfectly. The ratio of beef, chow fun and flavor is perfect. If you like spicy, then you can add a little bit of sriracha for a nice kick. Again, don't expect much for atmosphere and vibe because most people that come here are workers around the area or people picking up to go orders. The food is delicious nonetheless. read more

The food is not top quality. Old dark place that needs to be cleaned thoroughly. There were no customers when I went in around 3pm. I wouldn't go back. I wonder how they get a passing score from the health department. read more

Want good fresh food?! want good catering?! Want a quick bite?! Then you found the right place. Stop by here and Wok-In! you won't be disappointed with the food here. The ambiance indoor space is huge and there's street and venue parking. Family owned and quick service. read more

No more buffet. We were only customers. Nice counter person. Ok good. Not worth the trip. Terrible fried egg rolls . And over priced. Decent wor wonton soup. Decent asparagus beef rice plate, ok chow mein. Probably busy for lunch during work week. We were only customers in huge room ( on weekend). read more

I used to eat here regularly when they had lunch special buffet. Last time we ate here the food was just ok and not like it was pre Covid. But, the people are nice and it's local. Not great but not bad either try for yourself! read more

Why am I just finding this place? I had a delicious lunch. Great service, excellent prices and plenty of choices. Watched the nice person make my lunch from scratch. Huge dining area. Had a wave of nostalgia as I walked in. South China cafe in the Castro, Mariposa cafe in Dogpatch and so many others that have slowly disappeared but Wok-in is still here. I will be back. I look forward to the breakfast and lunch buffets. read more

Wok-In Cafeteria - Chicken egg foo young over rice. - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Very good value food. Got the special which included 3 entires and a soup. The beef is tender, tofu is pretty spicy, but the chicken wings are just ok. It's a very cheap place, with the total coming out to be $45 read more

Best lunch time deals for fresh food in the Bayview. Although a little tough to find, It has been worth it all. We have catered lunches and graduations with Fresh Trays of food and have always been impressed with the outcomes :) read more

Came here last time just to eat lunch here on my day off which was my 1st time ever that I have ate lunch at the Wok In Cafeteria!!! And the food wasn't that bad at all and just like every other chinese food that I like to order and eat which is no other than my favorite which is the Mince Beef W/Raw Egg over steamed rice!!! Now that I ate lunch at the Wok In Cafeteria for my very 1st time and all I can is that this place is pretty good before coming here it wasn't that busy yet but when it the time was around 11:30 am that's when it started to get really busy!!! read more

This is the hidden spot for fresh and delicious Chinese food. The wings are perfectly crisp and I really enjoyed the beef/bok choy & veggies over noodles. Can't wait to try more of their dishes next time. read more

Good food, good price. Service is fast. Lots of space to eat. Stopped by during a work lunch break and got served really quickly.

I used to spend $50-$70 per day , 3-4 days a week here for lunch and/or dinner until they started complaining to another customer (coworker) that I was taking too much hot sauce. Now I bring all my business to the Chinese restaurant down the street (Soo Fong). Not only is the food delicious and the price is reasonable, they always take care of their customers. read more

My philosophy as a yelp review is this: unless a place super wows me the first time, I do not like reviewing a place unless I've been there at least 3 times. I just think that's fair and also shows consistency :) With that being said I've probably come here a dozen times. My dad works at Muni nearby and often goes here for lunch. A ton of people around the area one here for lunch, and here's why: Service is amazing. Michelle (the owner) is very friendly and loves greeting customers, cracking jokes, and making sure you are fed well. Everyone here is very friendly. As far as the food goes is always fresh and hot, and if it's not they will make a new batch and let you know. Their buffet is Chinese American food but it's all good. I have grown up in the city, Richmond district, had a ton of Chinese friends growing up, and I will say this food satisfies my Chinese food craving completely. Did I mention it's a buffet too? You can eat as much as you want! But my advice is take is slow and get a little bit of everything and find what you love then go for it. Oh and they also do breakfast all day too! Its the kind you get from the Chinese run diners... with the super big fluffy pancakes smothered in margarine and with those yummy fatty sausages! Ahh so good. Anyways you get your money's worth, and your belly fed right here. Wok on in ;) read more

This is the BEST hole in the wall for takeout I've found in SF for good dishes and huge portions. No matter how many other take out places I've tried during covid, I always compare to Wok-In and no other restaurant has even come close to how good Wok-In is. I am Chinese so I'm quite picky about Chinese food too. The Peking style pork is a MUST. I get it every time and it always lasts me at 2, if not 3 meals. I also like the honey want shrimp a lot and continue to try the other dishes on their menu. The restaurant is not fancy, don't expect a nice sit down experience but the food is so worth it and I always get take out which holds well. read more

Wok-In Cafeteria - 401. Peking Style Pork Chop 515. Honey Walnut Prawn Green beans dish - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been to a ton of Chinese restaurants and I can be pretty picky about how I like my Chinese food. But let me tell you, WOK-IN got it down! They make the best salt and pepper chicken wings and tea leaf eggs ($1.50 each) I've ever had. The wings are so crispy and so flavorful, with the perfect amount of jalapeño. The tea leaf eggs are bold and so fragrant. The seafood chow mein they serve here is delicious as well. They have now set the standard for chow mein and I can't go anywhere else without comparing to Wok-In. Other favorites of mine are the BBQ pork, roast pork, salty fish chicken fried rice, beef chow fun, honey walnut shrimp, and their runny egg dishes (off menu). Not a lot of places can nail a runny egg beef over rice, but I promise that if you order, it will not disappoint. Aside from the food, the staff members are super nice. I am always welcomed with warm greetings and smiles. I visit quite often and my trips to order lunch have also become visits to my friends haha! 10/10 would recommend! read more

Great food for the price you pay. Quality and reflects the price you pay but you definitely get value for your money in terms of quantity. Ordered the mongolian beef noodles. As you would expect, greasy but tasty. Perfect for hangovers and feeding a group of hungry boys. read more

This resturant is so good! The hot sauce and their homemade wontons tasted like a million dollars! Their service was amazing too! I was I a bad mood, and they said to keep my head up and really cheered me up. Their ratio of their chow mein was perfect too. I went to Soo fong the first time and their environment was so dark. I wanted to try a chinese resturant and it was the best decision of my life! Definitely recommend for a family owned resturant! read more

recently upgraded restaurant! This place has been a go-to spot for my family for YEARS. Classic Chinese restaurant thats really inexpensive and really delicious. We usually do take out dinner from this spot when we are in the area and we get so much for out buck. My favorites include the won ton soup, spring rolls, chicken wings, general Tao chicken, and the eggplant with black-bean sauce. Honestly everything I have had there I really liked so you cant go wrong with ordering anything from their menu. Their lunch special is SO CHEAP. It's like $12? for a lunch BUFFET. I mean, C'MON! it doesn't get better than that. read more

One of the best Chinese food within the Bayview area, it closed to Evans Street Post Office and there is a small coffee shop nearby. I liked their pan fried dumplings, tomatoes beef over rice and Chinese sausage with bitter melon scrambled eggs over rice, yummy read more

I love this place. Been going here since I was young. It's in a nice place to eat and relax.

My go to when I'm at work. Classic Chinese mom n pops shop. Every Chinese restaurant I go to I always order salt n pepper chicken wings and This place is one of the best places that does it right. They also have an all you can eat lunch buffet here ending at 5pm I believe. Great place to eat. Lots of room for guests and restrooms are clean and decent. read more

This place is so bomb! Michelle and Judy are soooo nice and super friendly. The food is always delicious and the veggies are crisp and fresh. I've had the buffet, which is always good for $13. The selection changes sometimes but there's always rice, some kind of noodle, potstickers, egg rolls, salt and pepper fish, hot and sour soup, and a ton of entrees. They have a roasted chili oil dip that's to die for. A la carte is great, you get A LOT of food for your order. The honey walnut prawns are huge! And you get almost a dozen per order. I subbed my rice for the salt fish fried rice. I think I paid less than $10 for a huge to go container filled with food. It's good enough for 2 meals. The breakfast is also soooo good! The French toast was perfect, pancakes are fluffy & huge, bacon & sausages are crispy & juicy, eggs are flavorful & fluffy. My coworkers and I are addicted, we've either gone here or ordered from here at least 10 times in the past 3 months. And we're not stopping anytime soon! read more

Walk in, attempt to order, wife asks what "Chow Mein" is. Girl at counter laughs at her. Okay, funny, we don't know what Chow Mein is. Now maybe let us know? But instead she repeated "Chow Mein, it's Chow Mein." three times, laughing each time. Finally after an uncomfortably long period of this, she said "it's noodles." I ordered the honey walnut chicken. I should not have done that. Then my wife ordered hot tea. I grabbed a soda from the fridge nearby and told her I was having that. We sit down. My wife went back to ask for her tea. "I have to make it." We could tell she was busy, no big deal. My wife grabbed a mug from the counter and filled it from the nearby kettle, taking it back with us to our table. We continued eating and she asked again, this time, the lady grabbed an open tea bag with her bare hands and threw it at my wife. Also, the food was horrible. My walnut chicken was riddled with fat, and had dark areas in it that were impossible to chew so I had to spit it out in a napkin. The napkin sitting there with my spat food greatly reflected the rest of the meal. Disgusted with the behavior, and the food, we left, 30.00 lighter but barely any more full with the small amount of sludge we put in ourselves from that place. read more

This is the epitome of a cafeteria. The place looks just likes it tastes. Which doesn't say much about the food. Let's just say for the location (Hunters Point) it is decent enough to fill you up. I wouldn't recommend going here though, particularly if you can go somewhere else. read more

Wok-In Cafeteria - Don't Eat at Wok In - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I discovered this place randomly one day and within a time span of approximately 8 months, I eat here at least 2-3 times a week. It's convenient for me because it's only a 3 minute drive to my work and another big plus for me is that they accept credit cards. The main lady, Michelle, is very nice and will always remember your face whenever you return. The lunch buffet is definitely worth since it's only $7 (not including a drink). I usually order different plates when I go there just to try new things. My favorites are the Mongolian Beef Chow Fun, Sesame Chicken, and the Tomato Beef Fried Noodle. If you like spicy food, you'll love their Mongolian Beef. If you're ever craving something specific that isn't even on the menu, Michelle will gladly customize whatever you want. I would starve or be broke if it wasn't for this place. Another plus is that they close at 9pm, which is great for those who work late on some nights and need some food. read more

Charged two different prices for the exact same thing. Don't know how and don't know why but when I asked the lady she said I had to order the order separate not the lunch special. So why did I get the exact same thing yesterday for $14? She had no answer so I walked out read more

16 years in Bayview and just discovered this gem of a dive: all you can eat buffet lunch, serves American breakfast. Crawfish, pot stickers, egg rolls, Mongolian beef, sesame chicken. Come hungry, you will be charged according to how much you eat, but very reasonably. Open until 9 pm, M-S, dinner priced a la carte, $. Friendly service, home-cooled food. Going there today 9/3/16, for breakfast, which is served until 2. We prefer their breakfast to their lunch -- home made hash browns and home made pot stickers. You can have lunch items too. read more

Bro the wings here though.. tucked away is this hidden gem have to make a stop every time I'm in the city

Recommend Cashew chicken, Mongolian Beef, or Chicken mushroom, fairly quickly delivery

This is a place where you can trust that your taste bud and tummy will be satisfied. Their Burger Sandwich tailored made by Michelle who patiently listened to your urges of the day and tamed your tummy. This feels like home now to me. read more

Wok-In is awesome! I come here for their scrambled eggs with shrimp over rice and especially their wonton soup. They are my go to for any of the wonton soup - delicious broth! Not the most convenient location, but I still go if I have a hankering. If you go here for their lunch buffet - you will be satisfied! My work colleagues introduced me to this place and I've been a regular of theirs for lunch and or breakfast & lunch! The owners are super awesome and friendly. I would like to try everything on their menu! read more

Revisted wok inn recently and the place is still solid and best bang for your buck. I've ordered a la carte as well as tried their extreme value buffet. The price has gone up but hey this is sf and where are u going to get all u can eat for 11.95 with so much to choose, from potstikers, curry chicken, Hunan beef, chicken wings, salt and peeper pork, hot and sour soup, fish, and many more. The lady is still friendlier than ever and she explained that they do pvt parties which is a steal at the price. The place is large for a bday or baby shower. Really hidden gem in the Bayview. read more
