Menkee Wonton

The food here really is delicious. Vegetables are prepared to Cantonese perfection. The food preparation is outstanding. The decor is not impressive for dining-in, and while the service is efficient, it's not exactly friendly or warm. If you feel put off by the look of the restaurant, get take out. You won't be disappointed. If you can't decide what to get choose one of the two lowest pieced fixed-price menus. It's a lot of food though! Someone else on google mentioned the beef chow fun - this was the dish I ordered the first time I went here. The noodles and vegetables were great. The wonton soup is great. The wontons themselves are really delicious, and the broth and cabbage make it a delicious starter for a hearty meal.

my favorite to-go spot in the Sunset! they're almost always open when you're craving Chinese food. the main chef/owner is constantly yells like Chef Ramsay and it translates into his delicious food! you can taste the fiery wok passion! don't forget to tip their daughter working in the front! theyve hustle hard for many years and still keep their prices affordable for their customers. my fav dishes here: deep fried pig intestines shrimp and egg ho fun salt and pepper calamari salted fish eggplant minced beef tofu

1) crazy affordable prices. I genuinely can’t find a place in SF that still sells entrees in the 6-8$ range. 2) really good food 3) don’t expect amazing dine in service or the place to be beautifully decorated/clean. This is the purest definition of amazing hole in the wall Chinese food and if you know what you are in for than I deplore you to try this place. Ignore 1 star reviews that comment about communication issues or order issues, but if friendly service is imperative to you than I would recommend you look elsewhere.

The food here is excellent. I absolutely love their fried tofu and all their noodle dishes are amazing!! It is a true hole in the wall, down and dirty spot with the most amazing food. Don't expect good service but do know that your tummy will be happy!

This place has a fantastic owner cook who makes down home foods which is absolutely delicious. I really like his calamari which is light and tasty. His batter and the seasoning he uses makes this dish memorable. Too often you order calamari it comes out over cooked and rubbery. This place it's light and tender. My favorite dishes I like are his steamed pork with salted fish, lotus root with Chinese sausage, salted fish fried rice, Chinese gai lon with oyster sauce, and his mustard green soup with minced pork. Best part of all it is really reasonable to eat here and it really has good food.

Menkee is an 80's era Chinatown restaurant. They do have unique Chiu Chow style dishes. Tonight I had their Chiu Chow style peanuts $1.75, Chiu Chow style egg rolls $2.50 for two small rolls, Chiu Chow oyster cake $6.95 and a BBQ pork wonton noodles $7.55. The Chiu Chow style peanuts were roasted peanuts served at room temperate. They weren't oily or salted. I'll skip that next time unless there is beer. Their egg rolls were pretty good. The filling is sticky rice with little pieces of Chinese preserved sausage (lap chong) served on a bed of pickled vegetables. The Chiu Chow oyster cake was not bad. Very doughy and didn't have that bitter oyster taste that I enjoy. There were little pieces of green onions in there. Finally the BBQ pork wonton noodles were acceptable. I didn't find the broth to be exciting or the BBQ pork to be succulent. The wontons were OK. This place feels dirty and run down. The waitress could use a lesson in congeniality. The food is pretty good though because of their Chao Zhou dishes. I wouldn't bring a girl here until they are down for hole-in-the wall establishments.

Been coming here for 20 years, cheap and delicious down home chui chow food. You are not paying for service here so don’t expect a smile and this is the very best definition of a hole in the wall restaurant. Everything is sticky, the floor, the table, the menu, the bathroom and even the waitress. Also you’ll never ever have to wait for a table. Order the 5 course meal for $24, (it used to be $20) the flavors are great. Edited in 2025, this business is permanently closed and has been sold!!!
