2546 Cafe - San Francisco

I will call it most expensive in the area, portion barely enough for one person, forget excess to take home.

It's what you'd expect from a typical Hong Kong Cafe. Hearty and comfort food from your childhood if you're Chinese. Portions are on the smaller side, so if you're thinking about sharing, I hope you're dining with no more than 1-2 extra person, max. Needless to say, most of the food here seems to be individual portioning. Price seems fair for the most part, but what would normally be the sharable items like chow fun and fried rice isn't the best bang for your buck considering the small sizes. Flavor wise, the food gets a pass from me. Don't expect to be wowed, because at least to me, HK cafes aren't really known to be fancy and flavorful like what you'd expect from other Chinese establishments. To me, they're more for quick bites. This is a non-frills place, nothing fancy to write home about, but you get in and you get out. Like many others have said already, this is a cash only place. While I understand why, you'd imagine they'd get with the times and have at bare minimum, payment options like Zelle or Venmo, but it is what it is. This wouldn't be my first choice, but if you're in the area and want some comfort food, then at least give it a try. It gets the job done.

Went there for Lunch today and the taste of the food was not bad. First we ordered the Mongolian beef over rice and it should really be called onion over rice it barely had any meat. We also ordered Chicken chow Mein and it was thin hard noodles not the chow mein I was expecting. To top it off it is cash only which I already knew but when we got the check we got charged a 15% service charge it was just 2 of us and no where is it posted that they charge a service fee. It would be nice if they would let you know ahead of time. The servers are rude and never checked on us once,

Good food. Not sure why ppl give them bad reviews…Salted pepper pork chops, broccoli beef and baked pork chops are our go tos and consistent.

Great food. Portion is so big I have to bag the left over. Taste so good and lots of varieties. Price is so affordable and worth the bucks.
