About Smile House Cafe

Hong Kong cafe

Located at 1030 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116, Smile House Cafe operates as a chinese bbq serving San Francisco in California. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Chinese restaurants in the United States range from steam-table lunch counters to white-tablecloth Cantonese seafood halls, and most fall somewhere in between: a laminated menu, a lunch special board, and combo plates priced a few dollars below the dinner menu. Ordering by number off the menu is normal and speeds things up, especially at takeout counters. Family-style ordering, where a table shares several dishes with rice rather than each person getting an individual entree, is standard at sit-down spots and usually cheaper per person. Many neighborhood restaurants are cash-preferred or charge a small card fee, so it is worth asking or checking the door before you order. Delivery apps cover most areas, but calling the restaurant directly is often faster and avoids the markup.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–3 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (415) 682-4006. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, smilehousecafe.com.

With 3.9 out of 5 on Google from 432 reviews, it sits in the middle of the range for chinese bbq & roast meats in San Francisco. Recent reviews are the best guide.

San Francisco is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and San Francisco follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were very generous! I ordered the baked rice with tomato and ham, and it was honestly the best baked rice I’ve ever had. The flavors were amazing, and the dish was cooked perfectly. The desserts were also incredibly creative and delicious. Everything exceeded my expectations, and I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!

some dishes were a hit and the others were a miss. there is significantly less beef in the teppan than there once was and the spaghetti tasted like ketchup.

Wow, the white rice is good…some of the best. The flavors are on the stronger side, but in a clean way (the food was NOT drenched in oil). Now for the corn. The highlight of what I tried. The corn was cut in a way that’s easy to eat and prepared without being oily. The beef and rice hot plate was the perfect balance of flavor. I normally do not eat white rice, but I finished half of this by myself 😊. The shredded chicken was great to eat without having to get your hands dirty. It was stronger in salt, but still very good. Finally, the dessert jelly was refreshing with a hint of mint. Those are jelly cubes, not ice. Great way to finish our meal. Highly recommended! This place is constantly busy, so you know their high turnover means fresh food and ingredients. Quick, pleasant, and chill environment for a quick meal when you’re hungry.

I ordered the beef stew & tendon with dry noodle + cold milk tea. Everything tasted well. The beef stew and tendon is well done - tasty and tender. The noodle is chewy and it comes with soup. The milk tea is well made too. They also have a welcoming atmosphere and good service. I ordered bake pork chop with rice to go and am enjoying it at home as I write this review πŸ˜…!

HK style cafe with good menu selection variety. But wasn’t too impressed with their baked pork chop flavor. Was comparing a bit to the cafe on Noriega. Would still return to try their other dishes though. It was quite a wait for a Sunday lunch so be sure to factor that in when visiting.
