A nice family-owned restaurant. We loved the chowmein, Shanghai dumplings and one of their new Sichuan specials. One of the owners was the server and she was friendly and passionate about her menu. Ambience is okay but service was fast, and food was good.

The food at this restaurant is undeniably excellent, but the behavior of the staff—particularly one waiter—severely detracts from the overall dining experience. I recently took my boyfriend out for dinner, and from the start, the waiter’s attitude was dismissive and unprofessional. When we asked for recommendations on the menu, his curt response was simply, “I don’t know.” Later, when we inquired about their available teas and other beverages, his repeated answer was, “I don’t know,” with no effort to find out or assist us further.

While I understand that language barriers might pose challenges, this was not the root of the issue. The waiter’s attitude escalated at the end of our meal. When we requested the check, he became visibly irritated and raised his voice at me, demanding a tip. I calmly explained that tipping is earned based on service quality, and unfortunately, his behavior did not meet any reasonable standard. Instead of accepting this, he continued to insist, loudly drawing unwanted attention to my partner and me, to the point where other diners were staring. My boyfriend eventually spoke up, telling him that he shouldn’t demand something he hadn’t earned. We left feeling embarrassed and deeply dissatisfied.

This wasn’t an isolated incident. I had a similar experience during a prior visit with a friend. We ordered takeout, which totaled around $70. I tipped $7 through their payment system, only to discover later that the restaurant staff had fraudulently adjusted the tip to $80. I had to contact my bank and the restaurant to resolve the issue. This dishonest behavior is completely unacceptable.

While I’ve met the owner and found her to be a lovely person, I’m unsure if she is aware of how her staff is conducting themselves. It’s shameful that such behavior is allowed to persist, as it ruins what could otherwise be a fantastic dining experience. I fully support tipping when it’s earned, but people need to understand that tips are optional and should be a reflection of good service, not a mandatory surcharge. The behavior I experienced here goes beyond poor service—it’s unethical and unprofessional.

Not the best Chinese food, for the area it’s good enough if you are in a hurry or don’t want to go all the way to Chinatown.

Absolutely love their 'Triple C Tofu'. Every time I'm in town, I make sure to stop by here just for this dish.

Service was excellent. Food comes out quick. The hot numbing fish was exceptional. The fish was moist and the crust was crunchy.  If you like dry fried chicken, try the fish here!

Mama Ji’s rekommenderas av lokalbefolkningen och är ett utmärkt val för avslappnad kinesisk utsökt mat. Vi hade vitlökssparribbor och wowo tou (ångkokta majsbullar med fläsk och grönsaker) väldigt goda! Vänlig, bra energi service och maten var snabb.

Stort värde för pengarna, precis som du vill betala för att äta god mat!
Älskade potten klistermärken och räkor dumplings var helt enkelt läckra.
Main inkluderade en fantastisk myror på träden som var kryddig och välsmakande små bitar av laddade upp kött på ängel hårnudlar.
Lammrätten vi hade var också något annat men kan inte komma ihåg dess namn. Klibbig och kryddig läckerhet!
Tjänsten är vänlig och hjälpsam, inredningen är familjens kökstil men behöver inte bli snygg för denna måltid, bara bra mat, vi spikade det.
Vinlistan är solid och priserna är inte dåliga för att äta ute i SF.
En fantastisk utekväll med familjen.

Utanför den misshandlade banan i stadsdelen Castro. Vi ätit lunch där - ångad fisk, baby bak - choy och ris - Schezuan matlagning så det är kryddig men helt enkelt läckert. Mycket trevlig personal, bra och snabb service Be om lite chili - olja som ett ackompanjemang om du behöver mer värme!

Låt inte ordet komma för mycket; detta är en liten pärla med kryddig förrätter och mycket bra dim sum. Bra vin- och öllista. Liten, avslappnad och en opretentiös behandling.

Maten var utmärkt. Vårrullarna och dumplingsna var underbara. Jag hade aldrig haft myror som klättrade på ett träd innan, men jag är redo att få det igen!

min vän och jag bombarderar runt letar efter anständigt dim sum. denna plats är liten, och serverar inte dim sum efter 530 pm. MEN de har dim sum som aptitretare. Jag kommer alltid försöka hitta någon att gå med för att kolla denna plats. berätta inte för någon om den här platsen. Det blir ganska upptagen, men jag är säker på att det här är en lokal pärla i grannskapet.
 4 Cs blomkål, varm och sur soppa, custard bullar omg

Jag älskar det när jag hittar en liten plats utanför den misshandlade banan. Bra service, utmärkt dim sum lunch! Kommer definitivt tillbaka!

Detta är min resa att placera utanför Chinatown. Bra Dim Sum och utmärkt kryddig rätter på kvällen. Jag får alltid potten klistermärken och Shanghai dumplings. Saltbakad räkor är en annan favorit. Jag brukar gå under veckan som platsen är packad på helgerna. Inredningen är grundläggande och de fick äntligen nya stolar som är så mycket bekvämare. Bra öl också.

Jag har ätit på Mama Ji två gånger - - både med vänner och kollegor. Tyvärr var vi båda besvikna båda gånger. Första gången trodde jag att jag inte skulle återvända, men min vän som var med mig sa, nej, vi kan gå tillbaka. Vi gjorde och hon och våra män överens alla - - maten är lackluster, ointressant och inte utsökt. Vi kommer inte att återvända och vi lever i huven.

Maten var utsökt, men vi trodde att de glömde en av våra inträden, faktiskt den enklaste att laga mat, vi bad flera gånger innan vi fick det och då var vi redan nästan färdiga. . .

Denna restaurang är lite dyrt;
Räkor Dumpling $ 6. 50 - Chinatown $ 4. 50
BBQ fläsk risrulle $ 8. 95 - Chinatown $ 5. 50

Dimsum är ganska bra för en lokal restaurang om du inte har tid att göra det till Chinatown. Men om du är turist, varför äta här när du kan ta en titt på en av de största / äldsta Chinatown i Nordamerika och äta bättre / billigare kinesisk mat.

Vi kom över denna plats här och verkligen ville ha kinesisk mat så vi bestämde oss för att prova det. Jag är så glad att vi gjorde det, det var så bra och du skulle inte förvänta dig det från utsidan eller från inredningen inuti. Jag hade den djupa stekt kycklingrätten och det var super kryddigt, så akta dig! Platsen var verkligen upptagen och när vi lämnade det var faktiskt en kö av människor som väntar på att komma in. Personalen var vänlig men jag tror att de kämpar för att hålla fast vid efterfrågan som vi var tvungna att fråga flera gånger för ris innan det kom. Totalt sett skulle jag starkt rekommendera denna plats.

Partner och jag rekommenderade denna restaurang av en vän som bor i SF. Vi besökte till lunch och hade Dim Sum. Perfekt små tallrikar med god mat. Intressant sätt att beställa din mat, du är överlämnad en laminerad meny och en märkpenna du markerar hur många av de objekt du vill ha, det finns bilder på maten på menyn. Potten klistermärken, ångade dumplings, fläsk revben allt utmärkt.

Hade en utsökt middag med en vän på denna dolda pärla. Yummy potatis, läckra kyckling med gröna bönor och fenomenal fisk med chili och gröna.

Daly City dim sum ställen packade, kom hit och ingen linje. Utmärkt dim sum! Kommer definitivt återvända igen.
