The convenient location (right next to Don Quijote) save me trips to Chinatown to get char siu and rice cakes. Char siu never disappoints. Rice cakes are so soft and don’t have that sour taste. They also sell some local favorites like manapua and pork hash which sell pretty quickly. I saw people ordering half a dozen or a dozen each time. Prices are reasonable. Still no dine-in at this time.

Steamed and baked char siu manapua was good. Char siu filling was close to what Libby’s used to be. White rice cake was good, pork hash was good - this was close to what Libby’s used to be too. Roast pork was tender on the inside and had a nice crunchy outside. Gin dui (sesame coated chewy dessert) was also good. Only went 4/5 because the U Choice staff at the counter forgot to include my char siu sou (Chinese roast pork pastry puff). Overall good dim sum. I recommend you try it!

My measure of authentic Chinese food are the hanging ducks or slabs of roasted pork that greet you as you walk in. We love to order the steamed buns with pork in the middle and they also have a baked version of this. Order a couple of those baked buns and a bowl of noodle soup, it'll be one of the simplest and most satisfying meals you'll ever have. It's definitely filling so share with a friend or love one.

Their manapua is AMAZING. I highly recommend the steamed pork manapua. It's also super affordable, only $3 for one!! The lady that helped us out was super nice and friendly as well. It's also conveniently located next to Don Quijote!

This is a take out only Cantonese eatery located next to Don Quijote market, but there are tables outside in the common area where you can enjoy your meal. The food is not great, but not bad either. I tried the chicken and duck combo. It was fine for a quick lunch. Maybe on my next trip to the area I will try the combo plate where you can choose 1, 2 or 3 items with a choice of white rice, fried rice or noodle.

So I have been going here for years because I love Don Quijote nut this is the first time I have written a review. So I have lived in San Francisco and these guys are definetly the real thing. They have great duck and Char Siu as well as roast pork. I usually get the baked manapua and the pork hash. The baked manapua has a nice soft bun and the filling is great fresh with lots of meat. And the pork hash is great because it has chunks of water chestnut and other delicious veggies mixed in with the pork hash. The service has always been fast and friendly and the decor is well traditional Chinese restaurant .

We've been coming here for years and they never disappoint! Our favorite go-to's are their steamed and baked manapua, pork hash, roast pork, char siu, and half moon. The half moon usually runs out by late morning. So, I make certain to come in the morning. They always recognize us and welcome us back.

Ate fried rice with 1 choice for $9.37 tax included at U Choice In restaurant at the Don Quijote on Kaheka St. It is an easy choice when I am not in the mood for anything much. They give good amount so it is filling and it is very convenient.
