"The unsung hero of boba tea cafes is the Taiwanese popcorn chicken. If you've experimented outside the drink menu at any San Francisco tapioca place, you've most likely tried the crunchy, juicy snack. The popcorn chicken at Wonderful Desserts is fried, seasoned with salt and pepper (and often times five-spice powder), and topped with fried basil. Again, cash only." - Maya Wong, Janelle Bitker, Ellen Fort

"Hunanese cuisine often takes a back seat to the Bay Area’s bumper crop of Cantonese and Sichuanese restaurants, so it’s no wonder that this hot spot has caught on with the area’s Chinese transplants seeking Hunan dishes. Expect a wait at peak meal hours—especially for large parties, as the dining room is compact. The boldly flavored dishes incorporate oodles of smoked, cured and fermented ingredients-from the bacon-like pork wok-tossed with leeks, garlic and soy, to the pungent pork, black bean and pickled chili mixture that tops those spicy, chewy, hand-cut Godfather's noodles. The whole chile-braised fish, fresh and flaky in its bath of bright red chili sauce flecked with scallions and garlic, is an absolute must." - The MICHELIN Guide

One of the OG boba place in SF.
