Giant Scoop Cafe

This review is strictly for the $1.25 ice cream scoops. They have a great selection of Crystal Farms flavors to choose from and it is the best deal you can find in San Francisco. The prices seem to be kept intentionally low so nearby kids can come by after school and actually afford to buy something to eat. TBH, I'm not sure how this place stays in business for so many years with such low prices so it's worth supporting this local mom and pop shop for the ice cream and maybe tip the nice hard working lady behind the counter.

Wow, I've been an active client of this eatery since 2015 but now have a long overdue review to share with you all! Firstly, this is a mom & pop biz that is run by a Chinese couple who are devout to their customers & have an amazing work ethic & relationship with the local community. Don't come in here expecting a ritzy shop with a chandelier & staff wearing tuxes! This is a mom & pop that scream out "hole in the wall " because it's take out only & has the hot Chinese Team Table Side on the right & the ice cream to the right. $2 for a tiny box of Chinese grub, $6.50 for a two item combo box, $1.25 for a scoop of ice cream & home made French fries that start at just $2 for a small batch! When I was struggling financially as a broke college student, this was one of my favorite meals! A full meal for less than $5! Their neighbor , Hong King BBQ used to have 50Cents ice cream, but thanks to Bidenflation, that is now history. Come here and Trump out your expenses when dining out because it's election year & it's not cool to overpay! Lol

Trash! That's exactly where everything but the noodles went. I've been up since 4am (it's 12:40 as I'm writing this review) and was starving so I just put as much soy sauce as I could on the noodles and ate those. Everything was BLAND and flavorless. The fish and shrimp are a joke! It's MOSTLY batter, the fish and shrimp AREN'T seasoned and the shrimp isn't even cleaned all the way. Gross!!! What's more the plate is like $8 bucks but she handed me back $10 from my $20. Sales tax is 8.63% in SF. Sooooo, you're just gonna TAKE YOUR TIP, huh! I disregarded it bc the full moon still has me feeling positive from last nights meditation and my affirmations this morning. Once I got back to my office I was so disappointed. I could've gone to B&J burgers and got a BOMB ASS COD SANDWICH, if I would've known I was gonna end up with this BS! DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! Panda Express would've been better than this!!! YOU'RE HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE!!!!!!

giant scoop cafe banging on my chest fkthe other side all my homies hate the other side

This whole in the wall is a gem, can't believe I've never been here. The prices are amazing and you get so much good. I ordered the 3 combo meal, only cost $6.50. This place is cash only.

Haven't been here in so long... I haven't been here since high school and it's still the same! The shop is still run by a middle-aged Asian couple. They're so sweet and nice. The food might not be the best but it is consistently decent. There's not much to complain for what you get and what you pay for.don't get me started with the price. I don't think anywhere else would sell a pound of food for less than $10. If you want to get full and have a decent meal, I recommend giving this spot a try.The store is fairly small so it's better to order take out. Hope this store remains around for many more decades to come.

Really Good Americanized Chinese Food for a Great Price.And the selling ice cream and french fries.Extra large box of fried rice or chow mein for $6 and same size for meat is $8. These prices are from. The 1990's. Enjoy

This time, I showed up around 11:30 and they weren't ready yet. They had fried rice, noodles, Chow fun and like 3 options but most of the food table was empty and it wasn't worth trying because of the limited options. They told me it was still cooking.Someone else reviewed this place recently with completely wrong prices (maybe their whole review was false and they only wanted to bash Biden), so I have added prices. $7 for two items and it's been like this for awhile.Last time I tried the food here, it was decent for the price. Had the meatless Chow Fun and a side of salt pepper pork bones. Portions were okay for $7.

I love Giant Scoop! Whenever I need a cheap delicious meal I know I can count on giant scoop. Their portions are great and the prices are about the best in the city. 10$ for a 2 person meal and very filling at that is amazing! Just for the cherry on top the lady in the restaurant is so sweet, kind and always has a positive attitude.

The food here is delicious and they give large portions. Very affordable and the owners are very nice. There is only one table inside so we usually take our food to go. I like to get the spicy chicken and the chow mein which is meatless. The service is very fast since it is sort of buffet style behind the glass.
