This was my first time here. I was meeting a friend here. Service was good, indoor dining, & ambiance was good. We went on a Wed evening around 7p and there was seating. My friend got the cashew chicken and she said it was really good. We shared the fries. They were good. Typical fries.
I ordered the eggplant & tofu rice dish. The bowl that my entree came in reminded me of a kids bowl, not the size, but it was the pink plastic kind. Despite the aesthetic of the bowl, I really liked my dish! It was very tasty and the eggplant wasn’t too oily or mushy. It was so good!! I definitely would come back and order this dish again!

This spot is absolutely amazing—delicious, authentic Chinese-American food that feels deeply rooted in both traditions. They use traditional Chinese cooking methods but masterfully combine them with American flavors. It is a true masterpiece of culinary fusion where you get the soul of authentic Chinese flavors tailored to the American palate.
The Food:
Everything is top-tier, but I highly recommend:
• Hot and Sour Soup: Perfectly balanced and comforting.
• Fried Chicken Sandwich on a Pineapple Bun: An incredible sweet-and-savory combo you won’t find anywhere else.
• Mapo Tofu (Single Rice Dish): The flavor is deep and authentic.
The Experience:
• Speed & Quality: The service is extremely fast, yet you can tell every dish is freshly stir-fried to order. Nothing sits around; the flavors are vibrant and fresh.
• Flexibility: I love that you can order individual portions for a quick meal or go family-style for a big group.
• Atmosphere: The service is amazing—very warm, family-oriented, and definitely kid-friendly.
If you’re looking for a fresh, high-quality meal that bridges two cultures perfectly, this is the place. Highly recommend!

Regular to-go place for a quick bite! I’ve been here over a dozen times and it never misses the mark. Very filling & reasonably priced. Easy to find seats when it’s not crazy busy. Prompt and friendly service. Desserts & meals are always solid (they now carry Christine’s cookies!! Highly recommended!) Fried food’s flavorful & not too greasy – we had the fries and pleasantly surprised to find out it had nori powder sprinkled on it. Might be a little tricky to find parking if you drive, but the bus is super convenient. Will drop by again whenever I’m in the Inner Richmond area!

the name of the restaurant is so cute and funny because it translates to so so in Chinese. However, the food is way better than so so..imagine a Chinese/American sweetgreen!The dining area is clean and casual. Good service and easy to find street parking as well.

I love this spot. Kid-friendly food and atmosphere. Casual AND delicious. The food is exceptional and makes for great leftovers if you order more than you can eat in a sitting (which we always do). Also, the swag? Top notch.

The food was delicious, fresh and nostalgic! I had the sweet and sour chicken, the chrysanthemum salad, fries and an egg roll. They were all fantastic and flavored perfectly.
The staff are so kind and took the chance to talk to me about the food.
The vibes were clean, casual and comfy.

Went for lunch and it was very good. The food tastes fresh and much cleaner than some other Chinese restaurants. The $16 lunch plate is very filling and good variety.

We had the sweet and sour chicken (which was fried to perfection), the cucumbers (which were excellently seasoned), and the jasmine tea soda (which was so refreshing and flavorful). Great service, great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Our favorite Chinese restaurant in San Francisco! Great vegan and vegetarian options, humane treatment of animals, amazing creative, co-creations with other local businesses, and the most amazingly delicious food! And everyone here is always so kind and welcoming. We would say more, but our mouth is full of delicious red bean sesame Babka.

Enjoyed the super savory chicken sandwich and the mango oat milk sundae here. The breading on the chicken is very tasty and crispy, though the sandwich admittedly has an absurd amount of aioli/mayo. Oat milk ice cream was beautifully silky and the sharp mango topping was perfectly refreshing.
