Reviews for The Chairman in San Francisco, CA
I loved the bao here at the Chairman! I came to their co-op restaurant location at Hawker Alley for lunch, and had a wonderful... quick lunch! I got 3 of the bao: the karaage chicken, pork belly, and spicy chicken. They were all so warm and fresh, but myfavorite was the karaage chicken because of how incredibly crispy it was! I got to eat at their outdoor dining area, whichmakes it convenient to stop for a quick lunch during the week. Highly recommend! Read more
The chairman was once voted the best food truck in SF, and it was well deserved. We always enjoyed the food, at their store in... the tenderloin and at their food trucks. You could expect high quality at great prices, executed perfectly,consistently. However since the price rise they seem to be having major quality control issues. We ordered 3 miso cured tofusteamed bun along with a burger and a bowl at their oakdale location. While picking up, I checked if I had all the items andeverything checked. However upon reaching home my partner took one bite of the miso cured tofu and immediately noticed thatsomething was missing. When we opened it up, there was a soggy piece of tofu with some sauce in a steamed bun. The greens (babychoy) were missing. Not a single wayward green made it into any of the 3. Super disappointing as we spent almost an hour todrive and pickup the food. Check the picture to see the best of the 3, the others were lacking the sauce as well. So so sadthat a great experience is now sub par, and more expensive! Read more
Loved them when they were a food truck and now love this brick and mortar store, especially the salad bowls, noodle stores and... delicious rice bowls not available at the food trucks. Read more
My first introduction to the Chairman was their food truck. I've been hooked ever since. The Tofu taco on the soft warm bun is... to die for. Even meat lovers will love it. There's only street parking at the restaurant. Unfortunately, I had a short waitduring my visit because the cashier forgot to put my order into the cook. But he made sure to make up for it by providing mewith a extra taco. Read more
Great food and customer service. We stop here every time we're in the city. Everything is amazing. My son's favorite is the... coca cola pork sandwich, mine is the pork belly buns. Rice bowl and noodles are also excellent!! Read more
My first time here and first meal in San Francisco. The rice bowl (vegetarian) that I got was pretty appetizing. The food was... done within minutes and the service was good. The dining area and overall place is fairly small so quick bites or lunch with afriend would be ideal. Read more
Great place to go when you're on Larkin St. for Asian inspired street food. I recommend the spicy chicken buns and green salad... with pickled vegetables!! Read more
This commissary kitchen of a food truck cooks up much-welcome flavors in a neighborhood of limited dining options. The pork... belly bao, straightforwardly sweet and tender, with nice acidic crunch from daikon pickles. Karaage chicken fingers, not verydifferent from any diner-made chicken tender with fries. The food, while tasty, could step it up a bit on the spice. Read more
