If you want comfort Chinese/HK food at a no frills place, this would be it! The prices are very affordable (esp in the SF area) and the portions are generous. I really enjoyed the beef and black bean entree, beef was very tender. Chow fun had the classic wok taste, which made it extra tasty. The interior walls are covered with cartoon and anime murals, really cool vibe in here. Staff was great too, super attentive and nice with any of our requests! Highly recommended!

Classic Chinese food for cheap and you get what you paid for. The perfect yelp rating of 3-4 stars indicates the best, authentic Chinese food. They have lunch deals for rice dishes for $8-10 and noodle dishes $10-12. I ordered: 1. Tomato beef Chow fun: Delicious! I liked the beef and the flavor of the sauce with the noodles. I wish the noodles were a bit more crunchy but either way it was still delicious. Lots of beef and the portion size was quite large for $10. 2. Scrambled egg seafood chow fun: One of my favorite dishes and they were so generous with the amount of shrimp! I did feel it needed a little more soy sauce but I guess it's better to be more bland and you can make it more salty rather than the other way around. Overall, Delicious and cheap. What else do you want in a Chinese restaurant. Lots of lunch and dinner deals. Good portion size. Decent service. I'll definitely be back!

I had grown up going to D&A Cafe on Clement, but now live closer to Skyline Cafe and they have the same menu. Sure, the prices have come up quite a bit over the years, but the food is still good! I almost always go for their alphanumeric combo deals that comes with a protein, rice or spaghetti, and corn. If you dine in, you also get soup! I generally go for the black pepper beef (short ribs!), garlic sauce pork chop, or the fish fillet. Lots of good options and nice sized portions. I do wish they'd accept credit cards since prices are getting higher and I don't like to carry much cash around with me. Go ahead and opt for a watermelon juice when in season or some good ol HK milk tea! I think they also still have their "happy hour" menu which is worth checking out if going with a small group!

Good Chinese food for cheap! Just like many HK cafes, the workers do not have the best services in terms of attitude and mannerism but they are super quick! All of our food and beverages came out in less than 10 minutes! Our favorite was the salt and pepper tofu. My husband and toddler were munching on those non-stop at the restaurant! Everything else was standard for Chinese food and tasted good. Skyline Cafe has deals throughout the day! We came during the evening happy hour (before 6pm) and got a full meal for around $50 after tips and taxes. Totally worth it! The customer services are slightly better in person than over the phone and most of their customers are Cantonese speaking. One of the servers was kind and even helped us pack our leftovers. The cashier lady needs to be a bit more patient though. She seems to always be in a rush even when it is not busy. Unlike traditional HK cafes with the bright white lights, this place is filled with colorful artwork like Pokémon and Mario World. Super random but the paintings kept our one year old toddler entertained throughout the whole dinner. Note: cash only!

We came by for dinner and this place is cash only. The restaurant isn't the cleanest or fanciest but gets you filled up with good food. They have a 3 item special that comes with rice and a soup for about 35 dollars, which we normally go for. This time around, I also got a baked spaghetti dish on top of the deal. The staff was okay overall, we had to wait to see if we should seat ourselves or have them seat us. Three different people took orders from us but one lady was a little rude and I didn't get good vibes from her. At the end of the day, I came here for a meal to fill my stomach up. The braised tofu was pretty tasty and flavorful, it soaked up all the sauce it was cooked in but I didn't try out the seafood because I'm not too big of a fan for seafood. The soup was delicious and refreshing to start off your meal, it was one of my favorite parts of the meal. The baked spaghetti was pretty mid to be honest, I didn't expect it to be like how it is in Hong Kong but it lacks in comparison to a lot of places in the Bay Area. The sauce was clumpy and almost tasted like flour, and there wasn't enough seasoning in the sauce but the pork chop was tender and delicious! The Peking sparerib was the definite winner here. It hit all the marks in what you would expect in a Peking sparerib, sweet, savory, tangy, and tender!
