Food 4.5/5 Ordered three dishes for two people and there were plenty to share. The beef wonton noodle soup was delicious and 10/10! The wontons are made with lots of shrimps and the beef was tender. We also ordered garlic string beans and caramelized spareribs with ube. The spareribs are a little hard to chew and the meat doesn't fall right off the bone. Overall, the dishes are on the lighter side and not as heavy flavored. Service 5/5 The staff are very friendly and attentive. Everything is made fresh to order and you can definitely taste the quality and effort the chef put in. Ambiance 5/5 The restaurant itself is bright and spacious and is versatile to be split into different party sizes. read more

We "woked up" thinking we would be ordering baked pork chops over rice, HK milk tea, and other HK cafe food finds. However, to our surprise upon entering, we were told that there's been a change in their menu. Now a 2 pager that you can find online that offers more lo mein, wonton noodles soup, and chicken wings. We were told they have a new chef and still adjusting the menu. We decided to give them a try anyways and the food wasn't bad! Portions were a good size. Service was nice and attentive which is always a plus for a neighborhood spot. It's nice to have another Asian option in this part of Ocean Avenue for whenever we have cravings of noodle dishes but hopefully, they will bring back some items from their menu. read more

Pretty affordable and great portions! Kind of interesting how they have a wok machine to stir fry instead of manually doing it themselves! The beef chow fun was good but wasn't too flavorful. The baked pork chop was super flavorful, so I guess it balanced out! I enjoyed the baked pork chop more since it was more comforting and warm. I thought the HK Milk Tea was okay, not too flavorful but it was good to pair with the meal. read more

A nice little addition to the neighborhood. This place is in the old location of Shabu restaurant so it is realitively small. It's a hong Kong style cafe and the menu is limited in options but so far, it has been good. We ordered the tomatoes pork chop and black pepper pork chop. Black pepper sauce was sooo good. I have never had a sauce like this before. We wished the pork was deep fried longer because it was a little under and wasn't crispy. The tomatoe sauce pork chop was bomb. I am absolutely getting this again. Looking forward to try more items at this place. read more

Wok Up - Black pepper sauce pork cutlet - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - San Francisco, California

Was excited to see that there was a new Hong Kong style cafe in SF! Came here on Saturday at noon and there was a short line. There is a kiosk where you can order takeout and behind that is the waitlist. Tried a few of classic dishes and overall they were decent. Wonton Noodle Soup(7/10) - A decent bowl of wonton noodles. Egg noodles were nice and bouncy and the wontons were a good size and it was topped with yellow chives and some lettuce. The soup was okay...it was a tad sweet. Beef Chow Fun(7/10) - Noodles were good, beef was tender and the wok hay was present and seasoning was lacking a bit. Shrimp and Pork Sui Mai(8/10) - Came out piping hot and was juicy. Very flavorful pork with bouncy shrimp topped with some roe. Black Pepper Sauce Chicken Thigh(7/10) - Decent dish. The chicken thigh was really good and wasn't dry. I wish the black pepper sauce had more flavor...it lacked that punch from black pepper. Baked Pork Chop Rice with White Sauce (7.5/10) - A good rendition of the baked pork chop rice. The pork chop tender and flavorful. The dish was very cheese forward...there was a lot of cheese. Rice was okay, a bit mushy. Service was a bit slow, since they're still working out the kinks. The dishes did take awhile to come out. Pricing is pretty good for the portion sizes(except for the Beef Chow Fun, that was a bit smaller that I'd hope). I would give it some time for them to hopefully improve and will give them a try again! read more

Don't want to brave the crowds at Supreme Dumpling in the mall? Look no further than this new Hong Kong cafe + dim sum spot in Lakeside. Because it's in Lakeside Village, it's super easy parking. Bilingual English and Cantonese servers and cooks. I always prefer when I can understand what's being said, so I felt right at home. Servers are young and welcoming, but you can tell this is a very new restaurant. Gold utensils and cups, but utensils are super smudged so I cleaned them with a napkin and water and then they were super shiny. Food, however, is on point, thanks to the Cantonese speaking cooks who look like my great aunts and uncles. Our dim sum selections were solid! Siu mai (3/$6), har gow (3/$6.8), steamed egg yolk lava buns (2/$6). Few places in SF seem to get these staples right, however especially for a spot that's not purely dim sum, I was pleasantly surprised--I'd get these again in a heartbeat. Actually, I did immediately order more siu mai since my soon-to-be first grader gobbled up an order before I could get a taste. She also happily ate the side of plain udon I ordered for her lol. Truffle beef fried rice ($14) - truffle is super light; this is more of the typical soy sauce-forward fried rice. But it was nice and homey and I happily ate it. Beef was sliced in small pieces which is good since it's your typical not as tender beef that's often in chow fun. Appreciated the small slices of Chinese broccoli which gave color as well as the slight crunch for texture in each bite. I'd order this again, however I was disappointed that there were no pieces of mushroom--a few bits would go a long way! Lemon tea ($4) had plenty of lemon slices and you could taste the honey. Would def get this again too. It was relatively bustling at 2pm on Fri, so I wonder if it already tends to get more crowded. Easily one of the better restaurants in the immediate area, and they can expect to see my daughter and I back for at least a couple weekday visits before school begins. Hope they will offer delivery and reservations soon! read more

You know those cringe-y, cheesy AF Dhar Mann short films? "Don't judge a book by its cover...." "So, you see...." Name alone, I judged. I thought "Wok Up" was going to be a mid Americanized Chinese resto but I was so wrong. Soft opening last week, Wok Up took over Shabu House (same owner) serving delicious HK Cafe (cha chaan teng) fare. Currently open for takeout and dine in only. Soft opening hours: 11:30 am - 2:30 pm, 5 pm - 9 pm everyday. Closed Tuesday. M E N U HK Cafe Fare and Cantonese Dim Sum. One pager but menu will be expanding. Wallet-friendly with nothing over $15. Cc's accepted. F O O D * HK Baked Pork Chop Rice ($15): https://tinyurl.com/27338b6f My litmus test for any new HK cafe is this comfort dish with British roots. A bed of egg fried rice topped with panko crusted, marinated boneless pork chop that's juicy and flavorful, smothered in a creamy tomato sauce with a nice balance of tang and savory sweetness. Finished with mozzarella cheese for that extra satisfying richness. SO good! Enough for two to share. * Black Pepper Chicken Thigh Rice Plate ($14): https://tinyurl.com/ym37mjxj This took us by surprise, the marinated skin-on chicken thigh was deliciously juicy with a charred flavor. Served with a thick and spicy black pepper sauce, steamed rice, and crisp broccoli florets. * Po Tat: Portuguese Egg Tart (2 pc-$6): https://tinyurl.com/5ecpa67c Flaky crust with a smooth custard filling and caramelized top. Not too sweet. Decent but I prefer a more jiggly custard. S E R V I C E Friendly and customer-oriented, Aaron (manager?) was great about checking in and asking for feedback. Prompt food service, we received both our dishes in about 10 minutes. A M B I A N C E Newly renovated space with about dozen tables and open kitchen. P A R K I N G Easy metered parking. Overall, Wok Up is a great addition to Lakeside. If you're looking for wallet-friendly, HK comfort food with generous portions, give this new small business a try! read more

I came across this new spot on Yelp and decided to give it a try! This HK cafe is clean and modern with a kiosk to place your order in the front for food to go. If you're eating in, grab a table for dine-in service. They just opened last week, according to the gentleman who took our order and served us. ***OUR PICKS*** BEEF CHOW FUN ~ noodles were good, but sadly the beef was on the tough side. Wok hay was good and it was seasoned just right. 4/5 BRAISED BEEF EGG NOODLE SOUP ~ the beef was not your typical beef brisket, but possibly the shank/leg section. It was well seasoned compared to the rest of the dish, but kind of dry even in soup. The beef was too lean for my liking, though the noodles were perfectly crisp and blanched just the way I like them! Wish it had bok choy as there were only a few pieces of cooked lettuce. I was told that the noodles were supposed to be udon and he asked if egg noodles were ok for me. The menu said egg noodles, so I was expecting egg noodles. It seems their menu may be changing to different noodles in the near future. 3.5/5 BAKED CHICKEN THIGH RICE PLATE WITH TOMATO SAUCE ~ my partner ordered this and enjoyed the cheesey rice and tomato sauce. However, the chicken was marinated with 5 spice. The chicken is usually lightly seasoned with neutral spices like salt, pepper and possibly garlic powder. We felt the cheesy tomato sauce didn't mesh well with 5 spice. It played an odd number on our tastebuds. 3/5 PORTUGUESE EGG TARTS ~ you get 2 tarts for $6. A bit pricier than a Chinese bakery! But I wanted to try it. The crust was flakey and buttery though not a lot of crust. Custard was not very rich or creamy. It was more like a regular egg tart than a Portuguese egg tart, just burnt on top. I think I'll stick to getting tarts from a bakery. 3/5 With high ratings from a handful of people, I guess I had high expectations. I hate to be the one to give it 4 stars. The food is actually 3.5 stars. The service was attentive, so I upped it to 4 stars. I just felt some things could have been better. Maybe they're working out the kinks like most new restaurants. Hopefully they will make some improvements for better results. Wishing them the best of luck for their new cafe! read more

We had the fortunate pleasure of eating here during its first few weeks of opening. I'm sure they're still working out the kinks, but we didn't notice any. The food, service, and pricing were spot on, and I can't see what else they could do to improve. We had their pork with tomato sauce and fish with black pepper sauce - both were delicious and perfectly cooked. To end our meal, we had their egg tarts, which were fresh, hot, and also very good. Would love to return to try other dishes. BB read more

Wok Up - Pork with tomato sauce over rice. Delicious! - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place opens recently. We came to try it and it's pretty crowded. We had to wait for a table. The place is clean. The decor is modern and simple. Their dim sum is steaming hot and delicious. The wonton noodles dish is excellent. The wonton is awesome, the noodles are cooked just right and the broth is flavorful. This dish tastes just like the ones I had in HK. The baked fish filet over rice with tomato sauce and the stired-fried noodles with soy sauce are both good. We also had a couple of the small plates: The Typhoon pork tenderloin dish and the Stir- Fried Cauliflowers with Beef are both tasty. For dessert, the Portuguese egg tart is crunchy outside and soft inside. Definitely will come back to try other dishes at this authentic HK cafe. read more

New Hong Kong Style Cafe just opened here on Ocean Ave in the Sunset District. The interior is clean and modern. The menu prices look reasonable and fair compared to other HK style cafes. I do wish there were more menu options but perhaps it's relatively new. Trying out the HK style milk tea is a must try when you are visiting any HK style cafe and this one was really solid. The drink had a strong tea flavor and was not too sweet. We also ordered the baked pork chop rice. The portions weren't huge but adequate for lunch. The pork chop is initially deep fried and then baked over fried rice with a tomato based sauce and cheese. The pork chops were tender but wish they were a little more crunchier. The sauce was slightly sweet with a fresh tomato taste. Nothing special on the fried rice which could use a little more egg. Personally, I liked the truffle beef fried rice the most. It was a unique dish with bites of beef mixed in with truffle. Really satisfying and you can taste the "wok hey." :) read more

We stopped by for lunch on a weekend and parking was easy to find nearby. Waiters were attentive and setting is clean and modern using turbo stove and machine to do all the cooking . Love the juicy tender pork chop over toasty fried rice with flavorful tomato sauce that didn't taste like ketchup . Nice portion too . 5/5 The beef brisket noodle soup ( replace with won ton noodles as they didn't have the egg noodle). Beef was tender, would prefer some green veggies and wide noodles. 3.5/5 Lemon tea - 3.7/5 read more

Expectations can be fleeting. I should have fled after reading the menu, a two-sided one page sheet (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=rT410_I5kwE522HvthzUVQ), (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=DIKoseAsc3266nJuOoGJUw). This business came up out of curiosity as I was a frequent diner at the previous business known for their hot pot. In seeing the reviews especially from one of my favorite reads Cherylynn N. (https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=eKUGKQRE-Ywi5dY55_zChg), it was a priority to try given her opinion. After a busy day of errands, office work, and home tasks, I made a point to come here just after they opened on a cool December Thursday evening. I was a bit surprised that it was totally empty and was given my choice of tables. I picked one near the expediting station since that was the nearest two-seat table. After studying the menu and NOT seeing the popular dishes that caught my eyes, I pivoted. I started with the braised beef broth with noodles (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=TUZ2hOX_WHgaLmbKK05FaA) after being offered a choice of flat rice noodle also; there were small tender pieces of stew like beef pieces, mostly lean. The noodles were on the thin side and soft in texture, not the HK thin chewy noodles. The broth was clear and clean tasting with small pieces of ginger as a garnish as well as two large slices of white oyster mushrooms. It was okay but didn't stand out. I would probably enjoy the spicy braised beef noodle soup more as it was pretty much a one note dish. I also tried the Bang Bang chicken wings (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=6O2PlUPJB7hCShq_r2vXEg). The Chinese description matches that of the famed spicy wings on Irving Street. It was served temperature, smoking hot while being mildly spicy with a light and sticky sauce. The mix of both wing type pieces were crunchy and nicely flavored. I finished about half as the soup noodles were filling. In walking in, I noticed an order station just before the kitchen and was confused whether there was wait service or an order and be seated eatery. A young gal greeted me and gave me my choice of tables. A gentleman asked me what I wanted to drink and I opted for cold water. The wait staff were present but mostly mulling by the cashier and expediting area. Part way into my meal, I asked the man when did the menu change and why. Apparently, the chef left and the new menu started about two weeks ago (early December). The room is clean and updated from the previous shabu please and much brighter. However, coming in wanting to try the baked pork chop rice, JK milk tea, and other items from the old menu that people complimented. The young lady said they have the old recipes and the ownership is the same but I likely won't return unless those menu options return. read more

Ordered to go through their website (which I've added onto Yelp). The order was ready to go before my pick up time which was a plus. This cafe is passable, my parents were satisfied with the food. Ordered: Baked Pork chop over rice w/ Tomato sauce, Beef chow fun, Shrimp Wonton noodle soup and milk tea. Everything was good but the milk tea was lacking a little bit. Overall, would recommend this place. read more

Delicious and attentive. Had dinner with Mom and they gave us hot water to drink. Ordering was easy with QR code at table and paper menu was also offered if we wanted it. Baked Pork rice/spaghetti with red or white sauce were both delicious. Tried both sauces at 2 separate occasions. Truffle beef fried rice was great. You can taste the truffle oil. Offering something different from other cafes. Wonton noodle had soft dumplings and spongy egg noodles. Noodle made just right. Typhoon Pork Tenderloin. my only suggestion would be to served with rice on side with a side bowl of broth. Serve it like a Lo-mein. The pork is good but a little dry therefore the broth. Without rice, the plate is incomplete as they charge similar pricing to their full rice/spaghetti plates. Staff was courteous and offered service whenever you look over at them. Dining room is very nice and clean. Street parking was plentiful. Constant flow of take out orders with people popping in and out. Side tip: If you're dining in. free parking at meters starts at 6pm right outside. read more

Recently tried Wok up over the weekend. From my experience it was ok. Nothing great or special about the food or ambiance. Service was slow and the beef chow fun didn't have any "wok hei" and the typhoon pork tenderloin was bland. The steamed black bean chicken feet was per usual dim sum flavor. Also, the iced lemon tea had too much ice and not much lemon tea flavor. It was basically a cup of ice. You couldn't smash the lemon inside either. I was looking forward to the HK cafe offerings, but nothing stood out. read more

Ordered black pepper chicken over noodles and a baked pork chop over rice with iced milk tea and iced lemon tea. Food was edible but nothing stood out which would make me want to return. Although the black pepper sauce didn't taste bad, the consistency was very watery. The pork chop was a breaded tonkatsu unlike most typical HK cafes. Stay away from the iced Milk tea and iced lemon tea. Neither had any tea flavor. Be careful when tea is offered to you. When we walked in, the waitress immediately asked us which type of hot tea we wanted. We thought it was complimentary. After we chose it, she gave us the menu. The menu showed $1.75 per person for hot tea. We cancelled our hot tea and tried their other drinks instead. I noticed the waitress asked each customer if they wanted tea once they sat down but didn't give the menu until later. read more

Finally a Hong Kong style cafe, known as Cha Charn Teng for those familiar with Hong Kong style cafe food. This place has some great local Hong Kong dishes. You can order from the kiosk for take out which was what we did and then the staff would bring out the food for you. We ordered our favorites, the pork cutlet rice with tomato sauce $15, Baked fish with tomato rice $15 - The pork was super tender and soft, complimented with tomato rice and baked with gooey melting cheese. The fish also tasted similar because of the similar sauce but Baked fish with tomato rice $15, the fish was flaky and tender too. and the Typhoon pork tenderloin $13 - this was considered a side and so delicious and flavorful, with garlic and chilli. It was crunchy and tender, almost like chicken. All tasted really hearty and comforting. This place was pretty busy during 11.45 am and there was plenty of street metered parking on Ocean. However, you might find free street parking on the side streets and the other side of 19th Avenue. Lovely seeing this little part of Ocean Avenue coming alive again since Covid and with some great eateries. read more

I was excited to try another HK style cafe in the city, but this one felt more like a fusion restaurant than the typical cha chaan teng vibe. The menu is smaller than most HK cafes, though they do serve dim sum all day, which is a nice bonus for late night cravings. We ordered the baked pork chop with tomato sauce, wonton noodle soup, HK milk tea, and lemon iced tea. The baked pork chop portion was generous, but the rice didn't resemble fried rice and looked and tasted closer to plain white rice. The pork was overly tender without much texture. The wontons were a good size with thin wrappers, and the noodles were perfectly al dente, but the broth had way too much white pepper which overpowered the flavors. The HK milk tea was disappointingly light with barely any tea flavor, but the lemon iced tea was well balanced and refreshing. Service was the weakest point. Staff weren't very attentive and I had to wave them down every time for the check, napkins, or a to go box. Overall, the restaurant has potential, but both the food execution and service need improvement to match other HK style cafes in the city. read more

Restaurant is intimate, clean, and well lit. Friday family dinner around 6:30pm; attentive and friendly service throughout dinner. Food came out sporadicly (as expected due to small kitchen and HK cafe style). Quality of food is always the focus. It passed all our metrics. Food was flavorful and fresh. Baked pork cutlets, an order each of baked fish with tomato sauce and white sauce, green beans, and beef ramen noodles were generous and satisfying. Our party ordered a hot milk tea and lemon tea-both spot on. The rest of the party had jasmine tea -good flavor (taste and smell) due to a quality product. We also ordered dim sum to share; expect it to be served piping hot and served last. A good time was had by all (teens to retirees).

Great new find in the Ocean neighborhood. The food is great... high-quality, tasty and not overly salty like many other Chinese restaurants. All the menu items we tried were surprisingly delicious. The sticky rice was super flavorful and not dry like others. The green beans were perfectly crisp and flavorful. The truffle fried rice was my favorite dish... the perfect amount of truffle flavor and not greasy. I also really liked the beef noodle soup as the broth was super clean. The desserts were great too! We're adding this to our rotation of spots to visit. The restaurant is still new, but the service was super friendly and helpful. I think the server's name was Aaron and he spent a lot of time answering our questions about the dishes and making suggestions. Everything he suggested was delicious and perfect!

We had our name down on the waitlist, yet the server almost seated a group that arrived after us because he forgot to check the waitlist. Once we were finally seated, it didn't get much better. Service was nearly nonexistent; we had to flag down the waiter most of the time. When the food finally came, the portion size was honestly laughable. I ordered the pork chop dish, and the amount of rice that came with it looked like it was measured out for a child. For the price, I expected a proper adult meal, not something that leaves you looking for a second meal. As for the wonton noodle soup, it wasn't authentic.
