Beyond Cafe

This place is a hidden gem. The wonton noodles, beef tendon, and curry fish balls were! Will def be back.

Best thin wonton noodles! The noodles were nice and bouncy, great texture. Broth was just the right amount of spicy for a cold day. The wonton were a good balance between pork and shrimp. The beef brisket was tender and flavorful. I definitely would recommend the food here! It's not cheap eats but still worth it.

There was a bit of a table mix up and our credit card was put onto the table next to us and charged an additional tab that wasn't ours. They refunded cash for the tab that wasn't ours but caused a bit of confusion.

Good place that sells cart noodles. (Cart noodles are basically customizable noodles) Atmosphere was good. Service was mediocre, but overall okay.

I got this through DoorDash pickup and remember this tasting pretty decent! I’m not a big fan of intestine tho and didn’t finish the huge portion of that.

Very flavorful soup but the fat round rice noodles are slippery as eels and difficult to get into your mouth.lol #i'mbadwithchopsticks

Overall, foods are great compared with many other Hong Kong style cafe around San Francisco, but they need improvement on their milk tea.

Ordered the higher end beef soup, came with smelling like fish, and had big chunk of rubbery fat. Hardly no edible meat.

Wonton noodle soup is good, but portion is small for the price (or maybe normal for SF pricing)

Possibly the best wonton noodles in the US. Vancouver still takes the cake for best outside of HK but this is close. Springy noodles, great soup and wontons that resemble the real thing in HK. Haven’t been able to find this anywhere - not LA, NYC, or SF - until now! The beef tendon and curry fish balls were stellar too. Love this place!

Their wonton noodle soup was the best I’ve had in the states! I’m from Hong Kong and their wonton soup reminded me of home, it tasted 100% the same as the wonton place in Hong Kong that I went a lot when I was a kid. Very authentic, place was clean and service was good. This place is highly recommended!

Beyond Cafe has decent cart style noodles. I do love the variety of their menu. You can take your pick on the broth type, the noodles type, thin or thick, toppings or go with the popular dishes. We picked the popular dishes, braised beef brisket thick noodle $15 (with the option to pick just the tendons) Szechuan spicy brisket noodles $14, curry beef brisket rice $16.50, tender greens with oyster sauce $14, soy sauce wings $11 and some HK style milk teas $4.50. Out of all the dishes, I enjoyed the curry beef brisket rice the most. They are not fancy or best tasting in the bay area for these types of dishes. Beyond Cafe excels at the different options available. Service was excellent. Good job staff at Beyond Cafe.

This place is exceptional and authentic - we had the noodles combined with beef brisket, tendons and wontons. Everything was top of class, and I'm comparing them against the best restaurants in Hong Kong. It's the best Chinese restaurant experience I've had in SF and Bay Area - it's not a overstatement to say it's been a true privilege to experience the food here.

The food is very tasty, service is friendly and fast, and the overall atmosphere reminds me of Hong Kong. One of the best Hong Kong cafes in San Francisco!

Went at 11: 45am as a single, only 2 other tables occupied. Took the staff 10 minutes to come to my table to take my order (I had to wave over the young lady who did not anticipate my needs.) Ordered HK Wonton noodles with additional beef brisket and tendon. No mention about price at that time. First drink came out in 5 minutes, then noodles came out 7 minutes later.

I like my noodles and soup piping hot, but this was served warm. Did not need to blow on the noodles to cool them or risk burning tongue. Beef brisket was OK with hints of star anise and visible bits of dried mandarin peel, tendon was soft and delectable. Wontons were made with 1cm pieces of coarsely cubed pork, not ground pork, so leaner than most others with considerable texture, but lacking bold flavor. Cold milk tea was not too sweet, just delicious.

Total was $24.98 for noodles and milk tea without tip. No audible thank you, expression of appreciation, or “please come again! ” upon payment and tip. It’s like I didn’t exist. I really wanted to like this place after reading the reviews, but the service was just 2/5 and the their house noodle soup was merely ordinary.

Authentic Chinese food without going to Chinatown. Very convenient.
Plenty of free parking in the evening.
