Makli Chinese Cuisine - San Francisc

While the stylish signage may draw in the curious diner, the food is an unfortunate let-down in a city where it is hard to get bad Chinese. High price and relatively long wait for a combination lunch that noticeably lacked flavor and texture.Salt and Pepper Shrimp was short of the ultimate crisp, with only minor hints of jalapeño. Accompanying Chow Mein, while deep brown in color, tasted vaguely of soy sauce and oil only, no vegetables.Likely tailored to a clientele who prefers their food bland and mild in flavors.

No.1。Super delicious. What an authentic Chinese food

Came here with friends after Barry's class and liked it!Good: No wait, there was just us in the whole restaurant on a Thursday night The prices and portion sizes were great, huge portions and authentically Chinese food, yet not too greasy so it didn't feel bad to eat I liked the free gyozas that came with the food The eggplant and chow fun and mapo tofu combo was really filling, and it came with a great chicken egg soup Mongolian beef also had a lot of flavor Really simple casual ambiance, and clean interiorBad: Took a while for the food to come, but nice staffOverall a solid Chinese food place, felt authentic and would try other things on the menu in the future.

Very nice neighborhood Chinese restaurant at affordable prices. They do a great lunch special and they’re super friendly.

No frills yummy Chinese comfort food.I've eaten here for years.I love the hot and sour soup so much.
