Wok Shop Cafe: Authentic Chinese Cuisine in San Francisco

Walked into this place by total chance. Got the veggie chowmein and eggplant with chicken and prawns and it was awesome. This is the type of Chinese food you wanna eat to cure a hangover, just a perfect combo of flavor, and the right amount of greasy. The eggplant was cooked to perfection, it melted in your mouth. Their menu is a-la-carte style so not ideal for an individual person unless you’re really hungry or want leftovers! Would definitely go back to try some of their other dishes.

I like their tasty food. This is my "go to" place for Chinese food close to work. I love their basil chicken or shrimp!

Very good Chinese cuisine. The pt stickers were so good and filling. The Beef Chow Fun was so delicious and felt home cooked. The duck was so succulent, juicy, flavorful and delicious. The white rice balanced it. Very happy to have found such good food.

Easy to find and convenient Chinese restaurant on Van Ness Ave. Service was decent but not conversational. Food portions were ok size which makes the prices of each dish ok as well. If you are craving Chinese on a workday lunch break, this is a decent place.

Ate here with extended family and tried a variety of dishes. As an Americanized Korean, I was quite impressed with how the food tastes. Here is my honest review of each menu item I’ve tried. Pot Stickers: 9/10 With all the good reviews on this, I had high expectations. It is still really really good. Very Crispy and good flavor, I just thought it would be better. (picture included) Orange chicken: 10/10 My favorite out of them all, very very good. Amazing texture, so so yummy. 100000% recommend. Mongolian beef: 9/10 Very good. Rich flavor. Definitely recommend. Sweet and Sour pork: 7/10 Good texture but something in the sauce was a bit unexpected, although it was still overall pretty good. (picture included) Kung Pao chicken: 7/10. Very spicy, beware. Beef Chow Mein: 9/10 Not a huge fan of chow mein but this was really good. Singapore style rice noodles: 9/10 Pretty good, authentic flavor. Normally something I would not like, but I enjoyed this dish at this restraunt. (picture included) Prawn and Scallop with black bean sauce: 4/10. Server recommended this to us when we asked for a mildly spicy seafood dish, however it did not meet my expectations at all. Salt and Pepper Fish: 8/10. Delicious but a tad bit too salty for my taste. Beef chow fun: 7/10 exactly how you’d think it would taste like Service (7/10) was less than ideal as the one server was sitting at her desk watching shows at a loud volume. Wish she paid a tad bit more attention to a party of 9.

Sweet and sour fish fillet was really good. Seafood fried rice is good too although average. And the Singapore style noodles were a little dry for me but maybe that's how it normally is. I wouldn't order it again though. Ordered takeout so I can't say anything about the service although it took 22 mins for the order to get ready (yes, I timed it). Place is alright. I didn't see anything worth mentioning. But an ok place to dine in.

Ordered the sauces version of beef chow fun. This is not on there menu so you have to place the order on the phone or in person.

I’ve been ordering take out from here for years now and every time it’s exactly as I expect. The wild pepper chicken is my go to and a must! It’s perfectly crispy and not dry. The chili pepper is spicy but not overpowering of the other flavors. (Mind you spice preference is subjective, and I like it hot). The dry fried green beans are crunchy and each bean is evenly covered with sauce. Order from here if you’re looking for yummy classic American Chinese food!! (I call directly so they get the whole sale.)
