One of the best Empanadas I've had. The beef was tender and full of flavor. I definitely should have ordered more than one. The grape pork ribs were full of flavor, very intense on the sweet factor which I wasn't prepared for and it is very sticky when you eat it. Not too much meat on the bone so the best way to eat it is probably with your hands The $9 rotisserie meal just needed to be a little bit hotter and I personally just wanted more salt but it was tender and not dry.

Amazing food for the price. The dumplings were delicious. Some of the best we ever had. The service was very friendly.

This is the spot to go for a value meal. On top of that, the food is genuinely really yummy. Ordered a C1, C3 and a wonton soup (not pictured). All very home style and down-to-earth cooking. No fancy, extraneous stuff happening here. Service was ever so slightly on the long end, but there's not a lot of workers and they'd always be glad to help if you waved them down. Definitely pop by if you have the chance. Their rotisserie chicken is excellent!

Tucked away in the Tenderloin, the neighborhood gem has a following of loyal customers. On a recent Saturday night visit, every table was full! But after one visit, you’ll also be hooked—delicious food, friendly service and did I mention the delicious food? Just, yum! Can’t wait to return and have the Cantoo Triple Set (roasted duck, lechon, and BBQ pork)— I think I e thought about this dish every day since. Will post a photo!

This place is amazing and slept on. The combos (Combo Valenciano and Combo Cantoo) are delicious and incredible value. I also love the salted egg pumpkin appetizer. The servers are warm and accommodating to any food restrictions. Can't wait to come back and try the other dishes on the menu!

I loved this restaurant! This has been for a while in my must visit places in SF and as a Venezuelan who was raised in the east Coast...I'm glad I found this gem. The service is amazing, the food is truly amazing. I had the empanada de pabellón and the special that had BBQ ribs, special fried rice, chop suoi and a lumpia. I can't wait to go back to try the chicken. The people are mellow and I transported right back home with the great service and the amazing food . Please visit this place if you want Chinese food with the Latin flavor The portions are generous you will def take stuff to go. Gracias por su excelente servicio hoy chicos! Sin desperdicio gracias por mi polar

This place is incredible 10/10. Delicious food, generous portions, great value, and casual vibe. Got the noodle soup with roast duck, salted egg pumpkin, and combo cantoo. I want to try everything on the menu!! Came back the next day and got the rotisserie chicken combo, cucumber salad, yucca frites, and a steak special. All delicious.
