"This was a great authentic feeling Chinese restaurant. The portion of beef chow mein was very generous, although mostly noodles. They also do give. You a hot tea when you come in. The waitress was very friendly and helpful."

"The meat in the Singaporean fried rice noodles is not fresh at all; the strong flavor of the curry powder cannot mask the stench. Moreover, customers are forced to tip, which is a very impolite practice. I will definitely not return to this restaurant again."

"Nice, authentic Chinese restaurant on the outskirts of Chinatown. Fair prices, peaceful atmosphere, kind and professional service. I got Mongolian beef! It has a little kick of spice in it. Sweet and savory!"

"Café New Honolulu imhv is a decent affordable restaurant in Chinatown conveniently located on Stockton Street between Clay and Sacramento streets near Muni buses (8, 30, 30s, 45 and 1) and new LRV T line. My favorite dish is its Cantonese beef brisket 牛腩 wonton soup which imhv is the BEST (replacing ABC Restaurant used to be located on Jackson Street) in The City: deliciously prepared, i.e., real quality beef brisket牛腩, and insanely inexpensive: $8 bucks! (Common let's be honest tell me who can beat the Chinatown price? No one! LOL) Singaporean curry rice noodles are very good also as well as beef chow fun and fish clay pot. However, the service as agreed by other reviewers would be rather slow because there’s only “one man army” who is a nice young lady who tries her best to wait a total of twenty-five tables of guests from hosting, ordering, cashiering and cleaning. Personally, I always help her to clean up after I eat as I would be considered a regular as I visit there at least biweekly or once a week. Enjoy your meals at Cafe New Honolulu!"

"During a tour of San Fran, I walked through Chinatown and gave Cafe New Honolulu a try. Ordered the Sweet Fried Rice and Fish Balls. The rice was GREAT (loved the texture and stickiness). The fish balls did nothing for me - lived the sauce, but didn't enjoy the fish (it was made correctly, and I'm sure others love it, but it wasn't for me). However, I would go back and try another dish or two."
