    Chicken Chow fun with tender noodles.
    Theresa R.

    We stopped here after dropping off my teen son at In and Out. We had and hankering for Chinese, so we dropped and ran! We stopped here planning to bring food home for other family members, so we bought a LOT! We had chicken chow fun, fried calamari, black bean beef, chicken and vegetables, sweet and sour pork, chicken won ton soup, and house fried rice. The table was too small for our order, but everything came hot and fresh and fast! It was all good, with nice crisp vegetables, tender meats, and sauces all seasoned just right. Were were also impressed at the service. It all came out so fast, so we had to get to-go boxes going just to have room to eat. The staff were there in a hot second, picking up the plates and handing us containers to fill. We enjoyed our meal and our family at home were happy, too.

    There is interior seating but it's greasy spoon vibe. Wong's Cafe when I came on a late Sunday afternoon was very busy with takeout orders, and my walk-in order was ready within 15 minutes. Street parking can be tight. My order consisted of a Chow Fun with BBQ Pork that was well made and contained a generous amount of meat. The Beef with Bean Cake was good and again had lots of meat though I prefer the dish with Firm or Extra Firm Tofu. I can happily say the cooking is still spot on.

    Sesame chicken with chow mein- the chicken is so crispy, even after boxing it up and taking it home it tasted crispy a few hours later

    Wongs Cafe redid the floor and painted the bars white. It's cozy and clean and the waitress is friendly. The portions are generous- the fried sesame chicken is saucy and crispy- even after boxing up the dinner leftovers it's crispy hours later (for that late night sweet/savory/crunchy snack) And confession time, I grew up in a house with security bars over every single window. Seriously, EVERY window! So eating here is a sentimental homie hood experience, like it adds more value to the meal! (See pic of remodeled dining area- but pay special attention to window with bars on it- reminisce with me!)

    Pork Ribs
    Jasmine M.

    Paid about $16 for an order full of fried pork fat. I do not recommend getting these I should've believed the last review that said it's mostly batter... and they didn't even have the salt and pepper taste that most Chinese places have.. gross and a waste of money :/

    Scrambled eggs with beef
    Raymond S.

    The food was amazing and its a great to go spot! They are fast and affordable! The service is so quick. I love their food. I got the Honey Walnut Chicken, look H.W.S. Is my favorite but i dont see any post or pictures about the H.W.C. So i decided to try it and it was AMAZING! The scrambled eggs w/ beef is my favorite its so good. You could do it with shrimp also but the beef is where its at. Until next time!!

    Singapore rice noodles with less shrimp
    Raymond L.

    This is a most reasonably priced restaurant which makes superior Chinese foods. I try to patronize them always when I'm in town, I want them to stay in business! We always seem to order takeout from them but that's because we're normally dining with a lot of people and it's more comfortable to simply order out and bring to friends house to share along with what someone else brings. Parking is challenging if you don't bring someone else to pickup the orders. I also noticed that they do a huge amount of takeout as evidenced by the huge staging area for their takeout orders. We ordered the Singapore rice noodles but asked them to give us a lot less shrimp in the order, we're not a fan of shrimp and they seem to have a lot of shrimp in their orders, we love the rice noodles but shrimp not so much. We also ordered the salty fish with chicken fried rice, now that's comfort food. They do a fantastic job with this dish along with the great job they do with every dish they make. The prices may have changed but that's to be expected but their quality has not wavered.

    Menu - 5/9/2026

    Friendly staff, good food for the price. Has decent amount of seating inside. Will definitely come again!

    General chicken
    James H.

    The definition of a hole in the wall. Take out only, Phones in an order of wonton noodle soup and general chicken. The soup broth was very bland much like water. The general chicken was good but salty. The prices are cheap. I'll try other stuff on the menu next time. Cash/venmo only Street parking only

There's only 8-10 tables, with one large table. I was told this place only has one waiter/ cashier. So you need to bring your patience when you eat at Suily's Cafe. I spotted something on the menu I just had to try......"Hong Tao Yee Won Ton Soup." It is rare to find this style of Won Ton Soup in a Chinese restaurant. But Suily's Cafe has a unique way to serve it. They serve the hot soup and the deep fried won ton dumplings separately. You add them as you eat, and they stay crispy. The thick soup was loaded with egg, tofu, cilantro, mushrooms, and green onion. OMG, the soup was boiling HOT! I had to gently sip it. Then gradually I added the crispy won tons. Wow, the ten dumplings loaded the bowl. These plump won tons and the thick soup made for a satisfying meal. Price: $12.00, serves 1-2 ppl. Yes, I would definitely return if I was in the area. Note: The restroom is way in the back, pass the kitchen. Meter parking on the street. There's a Walgreen's shopping plaza across the street.

Siuly's Cafe is proudly the second kind. This oldie-but-goodie has been feeding Daly City for years, proving that you don't need reclaimed wood walls, Edison bulbs, or avocado foam to win loyal customers. You simply need to serve good food...consistently Walk through the doors and you'll quickly notice something...the regulars. Whether ordering take out, reading the morning paper, or catching up with friends over coffee...the entire dining room reflects Daly City locals throughout and then some. With plenty that don't even need a menu because the staff already knows what they're ordering. That's when you know you've found a true neighborhood institution. The menu is a wonderful blend of American breakfast favorites, comforting diner classics, and Chinese café specialties. It's the kind of place where one table is enjoying pancakes and bacon while the next is happily digging into chow mein or a hearty rice plate. And somehow...it all makes perfect sense. If you're visiting for the first time, here's a little advice. Order the Salt and Pepper Pork Chop Then order the Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings And while you're at it, don't overlook the Salt and Pepper Rock Cod See the trend here? Apparently, whoever is in charge of the salt-and-pepper seasoning deserves their own parking space. Each dish arrives perfectly seasoned with a crisp, golden exterior while remaining wonderfully tender inside. The seasoning is simple, balanced, and incredibly addictive--the kind of flavor that convinces you to keep reaching for "just one more bite" until the plate mysteriously empties itself. The portions are generous without being overwhelming, the prices remain refreshingly reasonable, and every meal carries the comforting familiarity of food that's been prepared thousands of times--with pride and consistency. This isn't food that's trying to impress social media. It's food that's trying to make your day a little better. Mission accomplished. What I appreciate most about Siuly's Cafe is its authenticity. It doesn't pretend to be something it's not. It's simply a welcoming neighborhood café where good coffee, hearty meals, friendly service, and familiar faces come together to create something that's becoming increasingly rare. Consistency In a world where restaurants constantly reinvent themselves, Siuly's Cafe reminds us that sometimes the best recipe is simply continuing to do what you do exceptionally well. By the end of my meal, I completely understood why so many people keep coming back. Some restaurants earn customers while places like Siuly's Cafe earn generations. Overall: 4.5 stars. Honest food, generous portions, friendly service, and the kind of timeless neighborhood charm that's becoming harder to find. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or one of their outstanding salt-and-pepper specialties, Siuly's Cafe continues to serve Daly City the way it always has--with consistency, value, and plenty of heart. Come hungry...and Go Big!!!

I can live with that. We were shown to a middle table surrounded by other diners, but able to sit comfortably without bumping into anyone. We could get in and out of our seats without doing gymnastics or mortal combat - a problem in the past here. The ambience was festive without being explosively loud. Wce could actually hold meaningful conversation - such a lovely surprise! The furnishings could have done with some upgrading (carpets and decor felt a bit shabby). But the lighting was comfortable - I was grateful not to have glaring fluorescent fixtures illuminating us and the food. Service was unusually attentive, as I was accustomed to being abandoned by wait staff after putting in our orders in the past. I suspect they recognized our guests, two prominent and beloved retired local politicians. The variety and creativity of their dim sum was the best I've tasted in years. No ubiquitous dumpling fillings here! No gummy gravies or sauces. Each flavor was distinct, unique and scrumptious. Two rice roll dishes were the standouts. One had green spinach in the rice noodle and a crunchy, but chewy texture with the shrimp filling. The cha siu roll was generously filled and included a light sauce reminiscent of that used in cha siu bows. Every dish was fresh, sporting beautiful vibrant colors, with delicious sauces for each item. Servings were generous and satisfying. The roast duck was to die for and quickly devoured. After a hideous dinner banquet here years ago, (overpriced, slow and bad service, food served cold with sauces congealed, days-old rock cod passed off as "live from the tank", lobsters too tough to cut or eat), I had avoided coming back to Koi Palace until this current meal.

They are located in a strip mall near several different food places, bakery, and a bowling alley. This is a solid dim sum place, with no frills and reasonable prices.

I think I detected a hint of coconut too - yum. + Beef chow fun - this had a really good wok flavor and the noodles were less wide than most. The noodles didn't clump either, and the bean sprouts were still crispy. + Roasted pork belly - the skin was so crispy and the pork was juicy. We ordered most of the basic dishes like har gaw, sui mai, noodle rolls, turnip cake, stuffed eggplant, chicken feet, etc. and they were all above average. My only complaint is if you don't read Chinese, the menu is a little hard to navigate. The English subtitles are so small that if you're looking for something, you have to scan the front and back of the menu trying to find the item. I was looking for sticky rice in lotus leaf, but found sticky rice roll and thought it was the same thing. It wasn't. The sticky rice roll was not bad, but I found the rice drier than when it's in lotus leaf. We ordered a few things by mistake because the English subtitles were not that descriptive. Overall, a great alternative to more popular places like Koi Palace. The menu may not be as creative as Koi, but you don't have to deal with the lines and you still get great food.

    Came to Tai Yuan for lunch on a Friday and was pleasantly surprised by how smooth everything went…read more We were a party of three and there was no wait--we were promptly seated and given a high chair. The dim sum menu was extensive, and they also had daily specials. Everything we ordered came out hot, fresh, and in a reasonable amount of time. One of the staff came around with a tray of baked goods immediately upon seated. We tried the BBQ Pork pastry, and it was flaky, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweet and savory--definitely recommend that one. Overall, we enjoyed almost everything we ordered. The only miss for us was one of the fried fish dishes and the green onion mantou, which was just okay. Would we come back? Absolutely. The service was efficient, the portions generous, and the food solid. Great spot if you're looking for dim sum that delivers on quality without the usual weekend chaos.
