This commissary kitchen of a food truck cooks up much-welcome flavors in a neighborhood of limited dining options.
The pork belly bao, straightforwardly sweet and tender, with nice acidic crunch from daikon pickles. Karaage chicken fingers, not very different from any diner-made chicken tender with fries.
The food, while tasty, could step it up a bit on the spice.
I loved the bao here at the Chairman! I came to their co-op restaurant location at Hawker Alley for lunch, and had a wonderful quick lunch!
I got 3 of the bao: the karaage chicken, pork belly, and spicy chicken. They were all so warm and fresh, but my favorite was the karaage chicken because of how incredibly crispy it was!
I got to eat at their outdoor dining area, which makes it convenient to stop for a quick lunch during the week. Highly recommend!
My first time here and first meal in San Francisco. The rice bowl (vegetarian) that I got was pretty appetizing. The food was done within minutes and the service was good. The dining area and overall place is fairly small so quick bites or lunch with a friend would be ideal.
The karaage chicken is delicious, with very crispy chicken thigh cut into strips (3 or 5 pieces) and the fries have a light seaweed dusting for flavoring.
Great food and customer service. We stop here every time we're in the city. Everything is amazing. My son's favorite is the coca cola pork sandwich, mine is the pork belly buns. Rice bowl and noodles are also excellent!!
My first introduction to the Chairman was their food truck. I've been hooked ever since. The Tofu taco on the soft warm bun is to die for. Even meat lovers will love it.
There's only street parking at the restaurant. Unfortunately, I had a short wait during my visit because the cashier forgot to put my order into the cook. But he made sure to make up for it by providing me with a extra taco.
Loved them when they were a food truck and now love this brick and mortar store, especially the salad bowls, noodle stores and delicious rice bowls not available at the food trucks.
Consistently awesome, and fast. One of the best tofu buns in town, imho.
Great place to go when you're on Larkin St. for Asian inspired street food.
I recommend the spicy chicken buns and green salad with pickled vegetables!!
This is a no frills Asian spot that saves all the surprise in their food. The boa buns, noodle, salad and rice dishes are all exquisite.
