Reviews for Beyond Cafe in San Francisco, CA

Good place that sells cart noodles. (Cart noodles are basically customizable noodles) Atmosphere was good. Service was mediocre,... but overall okay. Read more

Possibly the best wonton noodles in the US. Vancouver still takes the cake for best outside of HK but this is close. Springy... noodles, great soup and wontons that resemble the real thing in HK. Haven’t been able to find this anywhere - not LA, NYC, orSF - until now! The beef tendon and curry fish balls were stellar too. Love this place! Read more

Beyond Cafe has decent cart style noodles. I do love the variety of their menu. You can take your pick on the broth type, the... noodles type, thin or thick, toppings or go with the popular dishes. We picked the popular dishes, braised beef brisket thicknoodle $15 (with the option to pick just the tendons) Szechuan spicy brisket noodles $14, curry beef brisket rice $16.50, tendergreens with oyster sauce $14, soy sauce wings $11 and some HK style milk teas $4.50. Out of all the dishes, I enjoyed the currybeef brisket rice the most. They are not fancy or best tasting in the bay area for these types of dishes. Beyond Cafe excels atthe different options available. Service was excellent. Good job staff at Beyond Cafe. Read more

The food is very tasty, service is friendly and fast, and the overall atmosphere reminds me of Hong Kong. One of the best Hong... Kong cafes in San Francisco! Read more

Went at 11:45am as a single, only 2 other tables occupied. Took the staff 10 minutes to come to my table to take my order (I had... to wave over the young lady who did not anticipate my needs.) Ordered HK Wonton noodles with additional beef brisket and tendon.No mention about price at that time. First drink came out in 5 minutes, then noodles came out 7 minutes later. I like mynoodles and soup piping hot, but this was served warm. Did not need to blow on the noodles to cool them or risk burning tongue.Beef brisket was OK with hints of star anise and visible bits of dried mandarin peel, tendon was soft and delectable. Wontonswere made with 1cm pieces of coarsely cubed pork, not ground pork, so leaner than most others with considerable texture, butlacking bold flavor. Cold milk tea was not too sweet, just delicious. Total was $24.98 for noodles and milk tea without tip. Noaudible thank you, expression of appreciation, or “please come again!” upon payment and tip. It’s like I didn’t exist. Ireally wanted to like this place after reading the reviews, but the service was just 2/5 and the their house noodle soup wasmerely ordinary. Read more

Good bang for your buck! Decent portion sizes. Had the fried garlic chicken lollipop ????. This is the dish that I'd come back... for! I have yet to try the honey sesame version of this. Definitely getting that the next time I'm here. Had the Laksa Noodleswhich I didn't expect much of an experience, but I was pleasantly surprised by the portion and taste! As someone who loves andmakes laksa from scratch the Singaporean/Malaysian way. This was close but there were some missing elements to the taste. Thenagain I don't hold it against them since they are a HK style restaurant and it wasn't promoted/listed on the menu as Laksa ofthat style. Gave the head waiter a big fat tip for being patient and polite with us. We were the last customers and stayed15mins after closing. There's definitely room for improvement when it comes to this restaurant's atmosphere, taste, and foodpresentation. TLDR Good causal dinning that will leave you feeling satisfied. Get the fried chicken! Read more

Definitely a rare fine. I think this is the best wonton noodle outside of guangzhou. You have to try their mango pudding. ... Chicken wing was superb and different. Their milk tea will send you into orbit. Let's not forget their fried calamari. I havenever seen tentacles that big. Read more

Authentic HK style Cafe, super delicious food! I really appreciate authentic Chinese food in this neighborhood that is not... overwhelmed with sauces/oil to make it taste flavorful. Everything is fresh, making it healthy and my go to restaurant in thearea. Space is clean, dishes meticulously done, and overall relaxing ambience that includes great customer service, yummy food,easy parking and quick service. What more can you ask for? Thank you for making my tummy happy every time (I have a sensitivestomach with freq gi issues when I eat bad food). Read more
