Papa's Kitchen

I order Papa's kitchen at least once a week shamelessly I really adore this place and their food is sooo delicious and comforting. My favorites to order are the house wonton soup and dry fried garlic spareribs!

A little kindness goes a long way. I was having a bathroom emergency and I understand that is not the restaurants responsibility. I saw the sign said restroom for customers only and I was desperate. I walked in with my friend, we were greeted nicely at first until I asked can I buy a drink to go and use the restroom to which the woman shook her head, refused to look at me anymore and kept saying no. They were by no means busy (maybe 5 people there), it was not inconvenient and really would take nothing away from them to let me purchase a beverage to use the restroom.

Ordered a lunch-time pickup of Pineapple and Shrimp Fried Rice; was ready in 10 minutes! Overall it was good but strangely the pineapple had no flavor or sweetness whatsoever; hopefully just a bad batch of pineapples. There were other veggies as well (peas, baby corn, green onion, etc) and it was a well-balanced fried rice. 4/5 for now because of the lackluster pineapple,. the service I received was kind and I'll be back!

Something was very off with the older woman working in the front of the restaurant while my partner and I dined in that I just can't quite put my finger on... In addition to the food being disappointing and lackluster, I kept noticing that she would be selectively accommodating to certain patrons over others... there were multiple same sex couples that ended up walking out of the restaurant because the felt like the were not being served properly which made me feel uncomfortable...I'm not making any accusations but I definitely felt the energy was off that day.

Bad customer service. I ordered spring rolls through DoorDash that literally quoted 39.vegetables spring rolls(4 Pieces) $8.50 when I got to the restaurant to pick up I received egg rolls instead when I saw the order I asked told her that I think it's the wrong order and she said "no that's what you ordered" I showed her the order on my DoorDash app that clearly has a picture of the item I wanted she didn't offer any solutions so I told her that I'll contact DoorDash which I did and got a refund. I was still craving springs roll that day so I went back I live around the corner so it wasn't a hassle for me to go back I wanted to use my credit that I got from DoorDash but before I order I made sure to ask her that this is the right item and she said no it's not that's not the right picture and not the right price and I told her that it's on DoorDash though how can it be the wrong item it literally shows the right picture right name? Anyways this is the most confusing experience I ever had in a restaurant I end up ordering the same thing and had to pay $2 extra. Why would you put a picture and a price on DoorDash if it isn't correct or accurate feels like a scam! Disappointed asf! And ruined my appetite. When she hand me my RIGHT order she said "next time call me instead of paying on the app" ????? Do I not have the option to order food and pick up food contactless? Ugh

A little cute mom and pop serving Vietnamese and Chinese food. I got the Mapo tofu and it was all right. It has a spicy sign right next to it on the menu however it was not spicy at all, like at all. Should not really be called mapo tofu if it's not spicy.The inside is clean and spacious, and the service is friendly and very nice. However, I will not be back.

After we started eating we found a harmless bug on our plate. The restaurant looked very clean overall. Earwigs exist in a lot of different places. My issue is simply this, once you discover one bug, there are usually more violations hanging out. Having worked in a kitchen, I know what it takes to keep it clean. One little bug on a plate of spring rolls, we're not shook! However, the food was nothing amazing. This place is super average. Having traveled the world, dining in major cities all over this planet, I know what happens behind that kitchen door isn't always something you want to see. I've seen mice running through deli counters, dead fruit flies in soy sauce, dogs standing on butcher tables in night markets chewing on carcasses. Flies surrounding piles of ground beef.

Stumbled across Papa's Kitchen when we were looking for a bite to eat on the way to Golden Gate Park. The restaurant was clean and spacious, the server was very sweet, and they gave large portions. We got the cream cheese puffs and vegetable chow fun. The puffs were pretty standard, I liked the addition of extra flavor in the cream cheese filling. I thought the chow fun was average, a bit too salty for my liking. It was a very pleasant experience to come here!

Pretty standard fare Chinese place with reasonable prices and big portions.Seafood combo pan fried noodles were actually pretty good. I don't get this dish often but the sauce was pretty flavorful and it came with lots of seafood (fish, scallops, shrimp, squid) and veg (bok choy, snow peas, carrots, mushrooms)Sweet and sour pork was disappointing. The sauce was pretty good but the pork itself was really overfried and to the point of being dry / stringy. I'd still go back to try different items and it isn't a place that breaks the bank.

It's a family owned restaurant, and I had high expectations. We ordered a lot of things, and I have mixed feelings. My favorite is absolutely the fried rice. There is a scent to it that cannot be replicated at home. The big wok in a restaurant can only achieve it. The fried chicken wings are good as well. The second tier is orange chicken and the spring rolls. My least favorite is the lemongrass garlic noddles and the hunan fish filet. There is no garlic nor Hunan flavors. They all kinda taste the same at the end. Would I come back? Probably not. There are plenty of places in the haughty.
