Great place for HK cafe style food! The food is delicious and cheap.
Me and my friends stopped by after vodka tasting at Hangar One.. it was out of the way, but really worth the drive across the city from Alameda. Plus we were still buzzed from the vodka tasting and needed to eat!
We had the salt&pepper pork chops and curry fish balls for appetizer.. and we each ordered our own entree plus shared a bowl of cream and mushroom soup. For entrees, I had the beef chow fun, my boyfriend had the seafood fried rice, and my friend had the black pepper/garlic sauce chicken with rice. See I told you we were hungry! And of course, we each picked off each other's plates which is why I can tell you that everything (well at least everything we had) was delicious! Oh.. and if you order the curry fish balls, save some of the curry for your rice.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...
For when you unfailingly serve up some good jook and chinese donut on weekend mornings (Asian version of "brunch")
For when you are open late at night (past 10 pm!)
For the consistency of quality that you serve (not the greatest, but consistently not the greatest!)
For the unpretentious service (seriously, no bs here, I come, I eat, I pay, I leave)
For the unbelievably low price, prices so low you can afford to order 2 entrees!
I hope you'll stick around for a long time...

It's all about the late night specials baby.
Weeknights... between 9 and 12, they have really cheap late night specials. when my pockets are hurting... this is where i grab some macaroni soup and beef chow fun for about 10 bucks!!! cheap eh?
food is good price is cheap. can't really beat that with the economy these days.
I stumbled upon this place late one night. Fortunately for me, they have specials from 9pm - 11pm that are like 3 bucks. My late dinner ended up being quite cheap and plentiful. The food is decent - nothing too spectacular. I always try to hit up this place when I'm forced to have a late dinner.
This is a Macau Cafe, so you should try the Pork Bun Sandwich, which is what macau is known for. Its pretty good here and can compare to macau's. AND CHEAP!
However, the BEST time is to go for breakfast.
Their jook [congee or porridge] is the best in the Sunset, its not too gooey, not too watery, not too salty with msg, not too bland, its just right. but REALLY STEAMING HOT. so watch out.
With a jook, you can also pick a side order, of oil stick [chinese donut] OR Crazy Sauce churng fun[--noodle wrap--]with hoiseen sauce, peanut butter sauce and hot sauce ALL MIXED TOGETHER hence its called crazy sauce. THATS MY FAVE side btw.
Your breakfast also comes with a complimentary drink.
3 people, my mom leaves $15 thats INCLUDING tip! what a deal and you leave with your tummy SO full!!
There are also happy hours when food is crazy cheap, but you cant pay that price if you want to take your food to-go.
Daily Dinner specials are about $7.00, that includes:
-drink
-starter soup, if you add $.50 you can have shark fin soup
-main entree
-dessert
id choose this place over ABC anytime, unless i have the munchies at 2am and this place is closed..
The decor screams Macau but the food screams bloody murder...Not exactly Macau and not exactly Hong Kong...Sorta like a both got mashed together...Not saying it's not good...But also not saying it not bad...Hence the three stars on my review.
Most important thing you need to know. CASH ONLY!!! No money no talk. That said, let's talk about the food. Mediocre. Just in the middle. Not exactly WOW and full of pizazz and not exactly boring to the point of being plain. The food is decent. Like I've said before, it always depends on who the cook is that day and how he's feeling. Sometimes if the cook is angry and lost a ton of money on the ponies and the night before playing mah jong, you're in for a roller coaster of shitty food. If he's happy and made a buck, the food will sing off the plate. And then there are days when the cook takes a day off and the backup is there...Sometimes it's cool, sometimes it's not. If they could only manage to stay mediocre everyday...
The portions are perfect. Not too big and not too small. You're getting your money's worth here. And the times this place runs is cool, too. Almost to midnight. Which is perfect because there are no bars near here so they don't need to stay open past midnight. Now the wait staff...I'm not sure what is going on with them but one of them is always in a bitchy mood. And it's never the same one that's a bitch each time. It's like playing musical moods with them. If you hate working there then quit. Simple as that. But on the days they aren't soo bitchy, they're on top of their game.
So for mediocre food, this place is great for you. Not in the mood for WOW? Then you should give them a try. Trust me, your boring ass will enjoy every minute of it here.

This is a restaurant with multiple personalties. Actually, they have just two. Initially, I wanted to patronize there a couple of more times before making a definitive review, but the idea of risking spending money on "bad T28" versus "good T28" wasn't too appealing to me.
Any HK style cafe, I always check out my "usuals." My "usuals" consist of hot HK milk tea, baked pork chop or chicken steak over rice. 9/10, a "baked" item means the meat is prepared with a tomato based gravy over rice in a metal skillet. (7/10 there's traces of eggs in the rice) I'm not sure if this is an actual HK cafe or more of a Macau style cafe. Apparently the menus are similar. (Macau has more of a Portuguese influence than HK British)
Their baked chicken over rice, the portions are HUGE, and normally on certain days, you could get a "value" meal that'll include the drink (of course HK hot milk tea) and a dessert (normally a mango pudding) Their service is either extreme excellent or extreme "why the f*** did I even bothered to come here???"
This is one of my favorite places for the hot HK milk tea. I'm not wired afterwards, I don't need to add sugar or water, the temp is perfect meaning it's not too hot to drink the moment it arrives. One of my favorite locations for the milk tea in the Sunset areas.
You get a lot for the buck here, but I have to "2 star" it because of the inconsistent "personality" of this place.
It's finals week and my friends and I have been studying for 8 hours straight, and its about 10 pm! What choices do we have to satisfy our appetite, on a small budget!? There's seniores but pizza wasn't hearty enough, there's lucky penny.. but ehhh.... and then bam T-28! What a great whole in the wall... from 9pm-11pm they have night special consisting of appetizers, noodles, congee, sandiwches... etc... and they range from $3.30 to $3.90!
The Baked Mussels with Garlic CHECK
The Steamed Mussels with Garlic are CHECK
Wonton Noodle Soup CHECK
Thousand Year old egg with pork congee CHECK
Beef Chow fun CHECK
Fried wonton CHECK
Imitation Shark fin CHECK
Pork Chop Sandwich CHECK
THE BILL COMES AND ITS ONLY $31! hahaha CRAZY! all that food for $31! feeding 3 of us as well! where else can you get that!? NO WHERE!

T-28 Cafe gives you fond memories of eating in HK/Macau type places.
Remember Firewood or Cafe de Coral?
Fast type food served to your table instead of waiting in line near the kitchen counter for pick-up. Its cheap eats so don't expect too much.
The specials are decent but portions may be small if you order a la carte on the afternoon tea. Rice plates or noodles are good choices.
Good for late nights or odd ball times!
This place was actually pretty good. Different from your average chinese place, cause it's more of a cafe. Haven't been there since it's grand opening. Probably got worst. Cooks are probably lazy now. Bleh.
Nice decor, pleasant service.
They specialize in H.K.and Macau food and snacks and it was tastey and a deal.
after 3pm , you can order various little snack specials. My friend and I ordered the pork chop and bun, comes with your choice of coffee, tea, or tea/milk. It came just like they said : a good sized thin pork chop, seasoned with garlic/salt and a decent sized sweetish bun/bread roll.
We just made a sandwich out of it and enjoyed. $3.95, how do they make money?
Don't know what lunch hour is like, but this place is ok.
Some of the other goodies on the menu are typical Hong Kong inspired versions of Euro/American fare. I like this place and will return often. Parking: ok, but you might have to walk a minute or two.
Modern looking decor, big screen T.V.'s.

My friends and I probably come here 1-2 times a week. The food is not amazing, but it's good, quick, and cheap. The portions are great too. I like the pork & thousand year old egg porridge (although sometimes it can be too watery), salted fish and chicken fried rice, Portuguese chicken curry, & lemon iced tea. Like I said, the food isn't amazing (I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone) but it's good enough for my Chinesey taste buds.
I've only been here twice so far.
First visit/dinner-- HK milk tea, pretty damn good. Ordered some fried rice off the day's special menu. Also pretty damn good. I think it had shrimp in it. Maybe it was a seafood fried rice.
Second visit/lunch, packed -- Got the HK milk tea, of course. Again, pretty damn good. Curry beef brisket rice noodle soup. I got the wide rice noodles. They were fresh and succulent. The curry at first tasted a bit odd, but once I stirred it more into the broth, it was quite good. The beef brisket was exactly right -- tender, a bit chewy, tendon-y, fatty in the right amount.
Now I want to go back and try the normal beef brisket noodle soup, the fish ball noodle soup, and also the jook. I see mixed reviews of the jook on Yelp, but I know how subjective that can be.
In fact, I've had a cold for the past week. Perfect time to test the jook.
Just browsing T-28's menu is an adventure. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, and the food is tasty. Every sauce they make is delicious! I highly recommend the chicken with black pepper sauce! The portuguese style curry chicken is equally incredible... just watch for the bones. Be sure to bring cash.
Service: They neglected our soup that came with the meal. assumed that since 2 people didn't order the set dinners that they did not want anything to drink either.
Food: Pros: my Portugese chicken cutlet was good. Dessert was good. Soup was good.
Cons: my man's beef was undercooked. It was pink and chewy. He's usually one of those people who finishes everything off the plate and tears off the "bad" part of the veggie to not waste food. He left all the beeft on the plate this time. I don't think eating raw meat like that was to his liking.
Next time, please cook the meat a little better.....

Yays: I like this place. When I went with my mom, we had good & attentive service, great shark fin soup (only add $0.50 more to the daily special!) and a pretty yummy baked seafood dish! Mmmmm...
Nays: I noticed that they add additional $ for take-out or something. Hmmm...
Terrible Terrible place. I sat here once for 45 minutes with no service. Note, this was at 6 or 7pm on a saturday, and I saw people who came in after us getting served. Tables were sticky, and the waiters were ignorant and didn't care. I actually spoke to a guy and he literally walked away from me when I asked about service. I will never go back to this establishment again.
If your into HK and Macou food this is a great place to visit. Food here is cheap and tasty, but very greasy, creamy, thick, etc.... I stop coming here only when i realized what I was eatting (ox tongue), which than scared me away. I use to love eatting ox tongue, until i began to realize i was eatting a tongue.

Watch out for the bones. My curry chicken had bone chips that were like mines ready to crack my teeth. T-28 serves decent Hong Kong-style cafe food. I came here with a couple of friends, and between us, we tried imitation shark's fin soup, Singaporean noodles, and Portuguese style curry chicken.
Don't expect to eat healthy here. Overall, the portions were big and the food was a bit rich. The soup and the noodles were alright. The curry, while tasty, was overloaded with coconut milk. The food could have been better, but as a neighborhood dive with a lot of menu items, I want to give this joint another chance.

Small snacks and cafe drinks. I went with a bunch of friends and when our food arrived everyone's reaction was "hm."

I had such high hopes for this place since it's a bakery (I love buns) and it has several kinds of congee/jook/porridge. Unfortunately, they serve the worst congee I have ever had. I did not know congee could be so bad. They reached new depths. I had the minced beef and egg congee. I think they must have used a tablespoon of rice for 20 cups of water to make it. I could not see rice - not even broken down rice. It was so watery and goopy that it reminded me of what you'd get in a refugee camp or a Chinese construction site. The minced beef tasted funny. They put a raw egg in the congee. I didn't realize it at first so when I started eating, I wondered what that thick, viscous substance was - it was raw egg white. Yuck. The best part of this goop was the fresh scallions.
I had the $3.75 breakfast special. Along with the congee, it came with rice rolls (these were okay; they probably didn't make them, they come with a hoisin sauce) or fried Chinese donut and beverage of your choice. I had the soy milk which was too sweet. Despite the low price, I felt dissatisfied. Rice is cheap, so I don't see why they're so skimpy about using it in their congee.
If this is what the Macau twist is, yuck. I hope that this isn't true for the sake of Macau. For better congee, go to Ming Tai or Hing Lung. Well, actually, go anywhere but here.

when i first went i thought hey the stuff isnt that bad. i mean its sortof like a chinese fusion with american food. after a few times. i was like ugh. i would say alot of my friends go there. they think its good. i mean for like 8 bucks you get big portions and drinks. ok.... i guess. its a decent place to go when your broke and you want something satisfying. but honestly you can go somewhere else. the food is just easy to make. then again i only order the specials they have for the weak. from what i heard they spit in your food.
This place is open late (a very good and rare thing) and fairly trendy to the young Asian crowd. A strange and huge menu of things (at least to this white boy), a diner look, and a flat screen playing Japanese music videos. I really love the coconut-jelly-icee-drink-thing they have. Your bound to find something you like.. but could also trip onto something a bit weird if your experimenting. The servers aren't much help in deciding since they barely speak English. Some of the treatment there makes me thing they are a bit racist and don't want white people coming in, I don't know.
My number one complaint with this place is it is FREEEEZING! I'll come there at 11PM or so and it feels like they MUST have the air conditioning on. I literally am shivering whenever I leave that place. Dress like a snowboarder and it'll be an adventure.
I've eaten here quite often due to my mom. She loves it and can't beat a bargain. Depending on the time of the day they have random specials. An example would be their 4-6pm Tea time specials. Nice little meals just to tide you over to dinner. There breakfast menu is classic HK style with rice porridge and other Macau style food. It's very clean and well lit. Usually its easy to find parking. I like taking my mom just because it makes her happy and is close. I'm not that keen on Asian food. But this place does blow away establishments such as ABC which is NASTY!
T28 was recommended to me by a co-worker whose husband runs the place. When I first saw the menu, several items evoked a big WTF such as peanut butter porky bun, crispy fried milk dumpling, yellow FUR chicken, and the variety of "instant noodles". So when we ordered, we went with the safer, more well-known items.
1. Pork Chop Porky Bun: It's a Macau style sandwich, with just a huge panko breaded pork chop in between the buttered buns, and no toppings/condiments whatsoever. I wish I could buy the buns from them, because they're the best sandwich buns ever. Crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside!
2. Fried Cheese and Ham Roll: It's a ham and cheese sandwich, rolled, breaded with panko crumbs, fried, and served with pineapple tidbits. Nothing special, but I'm sure kids would love it.
3. Portuguese Style Baked Chicken Steak: I've never had Portuguese food before, so the yellow sauce remains a mystery to me. I can't identify the spices/seasoning in the sauce, but it's really yummy.
4. Sizzling Black Pepper Beef w/ Fried Spaghetti: It's like chow mein, only with spaghetti noodles on a sizzling platter. Tasty, but the server forgot to give us the "daily soup" it comes with.
5. Crispy Fried Milk Dumplings: This was a surprise freebie. I liked the texture contrast of the crispy coating and the silk tofu-like interior, but it was bland. They should drizzle some chocolate syrup on it or something...
Overall, prices are dirt cheap, portions are very good, the place is clean and stays open until midnight. -1 star for the inattentive service.

This place serves cheap, quick Macau style food - although I don't think it's that authentic or nearly as good as the real thing. Portions and prices are decent, but you're not going to find five star food here.
However, my family likes coming here bc it's cheap and fills ya up.
- Beancurd Deep Fried Chicken Wings: 8 pieces... nice and crispy. $5
- Portuguese style mackerel fried rice ... flavorful, delicious, and part of the Sunday special
- Baked Seafood with Cheese and Pineapple: very bland
Their noodles are usually very bland so I avoid them. If you get their daily special for $7.15, you get a drink, soup, entree, and dessert. Not too bad.
CASH ONLY!
This place can't compare to Macau Cafe though! =D

This place gets extra points for being up the street from my house and having a late-night menu when I'm too lazy to cook. The food is good. I don't often venture into unknown food territory but I trust this place and have usually been pleasantly surprised.
Just came here today . They have many menus so it took me a while to look through all of them and order LOL . T-28 is like another D&A but better . They have late night special which and another special which is 3pm-6pm . They have a variety of food . They offer a lot of interesting things other cafes in SF don't offer . This place is very clean . They have a flat screen where they play chinese karaoke songs but you can barely hear them because the volume is turned down so low . The HK milk tea was way too bitter . Seems like they put too much tea and didn't put any condensed milk or sugar . The wonton noodle soup was ehh .. mediocre . The wonton didn't look like wonton at all .. they were very big and tasted like sui-mai . The noodles that came with the wonton got tiring . The macau style pork chop bun was suprisingly good .The jook was very good too . It was too liquidy like the jook you get at ABC but it wasn't too thick either . It was just right and full of flavor . The porportion was just right . I love their hot sauce !! It's not the cheap hot sauce other restaurants and cafes use . The hot sauce is very flavorful . Dirty cheap prices for good food ! Two wonton noodle soups , a jook , a macau style pork chop bun , a jelly hk milk tea , and a ice cream float came out to be only $20 !! If you're thinking of going to ABC , consider this as an alternative .. cheaper , cleaner , and better food !!
I think if you yelpers who gave this place 3 stars ate at the equivalent competition in the South Bay at dumps like Top Cafe, you'd be giving T-28 7 stars or more. I'm serious. Those of you who live in SF are definitely spoiled with more varieties and generally better quality. While I haven't been to W&M or D&A to compare, T-28 does offer good value and a few dishes that might be semi decent representations of food you can get in Macau.
Where else can you get the signature Macau snack pork chop buns in the Bay Area but here? Orchard Bowl Cafe next to Sheng Kee in Richmond 99 Ranch plaza does not have that, sorry folks. T 28's pork chop bun is done the authentic way according to a TV show I saw. Nice bone in cut fried pork chop (not breaded but marinated well), sandwiched between a crunchy exterior but soft interior baguette like bread. Superb snack, I'm sure the real deal is better in Macau (though you'd be waiting 30 to 50 mins in line for one).
That's the problem with Asian Cheapness. If you are infected with it, you flock to the latest new place, affectionately old school termed "New Shit Hole" in Cantonese (again I'm serious), and looking for good deals/value meals until you and the crowds (and whatever trends you want to follow) rather go to some other hole for your fix (this is starting to sound wrong...). As a result your standards are higher and expect more for paying less. Which is why low quality buffets are so popular with this crowd.
This place opened sometime in 2003 and the wait was horrid once past 6 pm on weekends. Food was generally quite tasty. I had an old review here: http://www.chowhound.c...
Last night I came back again and they seemed to have included the afternoon tea special value meal to appease the ever growing Asian Cheapness Influenza. One new drink item caught my eye, which was a spicy hot version of some sort of herbal milk tea. Not sure if I wanted to brave this, so I stucked with an iced milk tea to see if it was just as good as I had remembered.
I got it to go, and the first layers were all sweet condensed milk. Too much sugary taste but after a while the flavors started to sink in. This is still a great and a favorite rendition that while isn't close to the best in Hong Kong, is ranked amongst the top 3 in my book for the Bay Area. Very smooth on the tongue, and good flavor. Too bad this place is too far away for me these days. I would love for these guys to open a chain further south, because the Top Cafes down here needs some serious bitch slapping to get their quality back up.
4 stars for the milk tea and variety, but hmmm I'm not sure about the baked Portugese style chicken over rice. It was a funky yellow sauce that had some sort of identify crisis (not quite curry and not quite coconut). Tasted ok but I felt unfufilled afterwards. I'm pretty sure this is nothing like in Hong Kong or Macau. I thought baked Portugese chicken sauce was supposed to white? Oh well.

I went here tonight after 9pm with my roomates for a late night dinner.
I was impressed by how cheap everything was, especially their menu that is only offered from 9-12. Dishes and appetizers were priced very cheapy (under $4!).
I ordered the macoroni soup with spam and the chicken chow mein. The chow mein was very good, not too salty and also came with thin noodles which was something that I am not used to. The macoroni soup was also not bad (probably something I could easily stir up at home but was satisfying).
So, by the end of our meal I was satisfied with my choices. However I do wish that the waiters would be a little more attentive. I had to literally flag them down for water, boxes, and our bill. And plus, they didn't understand anything I asked when I questioned about several things on the menu, but hey, thats ok as long as my food is good.

is it a strange coincidence that hk cafes/bistros make good chow fun? their chow fun is pretty good too, with a lot of "wok hay" (although broadway bistro in millbrae is a tad bit better - for you chow fun lovers). this is also a good place to come for porridge, i like the "pei dan sow yuk" - thousand year egg w/ pork meat. i forgot what the prices were but if you come after 9 p.m. it's cheaper, but you have to eat in, no take outs (bummer!).

try to stay away from the spaghetti if you can.....

I wanted to give them zero stars because of their poor service and unprofessional demeanor, I gave one star because yelp makes you give at least one to post.
I recently ate at this cafe this past Saturday. My first impression was that it seemed very clean and newly painted. I was meeting my sister-in-law for a late lunch, I arrived shortly after her and when I went to place my order, the guy there told me that I couldn't sit with my own party and told me to sit at a table by myself. Then after I agreed to this outrageous request, a waitress bumped into my baby's stroller while carrying a hot bowl of soup. My sister-in-law asked the waitress to go around the other way and to not bump into our stroller again. The entire wait staff refused to go around my stroller and continued to carry HOT food and liquids above my daughter's stroller and then had the nerve to complain about us blocking the walkway, where else was I supposed to put my daughter's stroller??? I had her right next to my table. The people who worked there were very rude and unprofessional. They insisted on bumping into my daughter's stroller (did I mention that my daughter is only 6 months old) and continued to be very rude to me and my sister-in-law each time they passed by. I was so uncomfortable being at this cafe I couldn't even finish my food, which was very oily and had no taste, I asked for a take out box and the guy rolled his eyes at me and then just slammed an empty box on the counter and walked away. Never in my life have I ever been treated with so much disrespect. I do not recommend anyone going to eat at this cafe. I read some of the other reviews and were surprised that I was treated so poorly.
TO sum it up, I do not recommend to eat at this place unless you want very bad service, want to put your child at risk of a burn injury due to lack of common sense and tasteless greasy food.
When they first opened, the food was plentiful and good. However, after a while, the food plates didn't taste as good anymore, and it got a little skimpy. You can say this is supposed to be authentic hong kong style food, but It's far from it in my opinion. At least the place seemed clean and sanitory.

This place has the worst service ever and the food is just as bad. I was there for lunch recently and encountered the most insensitive, no common sense and rude waitress and waiter. My advice is don't even waste your time going to this place. There are way too many other establishments that cares about customer service. I would give them a negative star if I could.
Hong Kong style bistro with a Macau twist, so you can see Portuguese influence up and down the menu. Bacalhau, anyone?
Food is decent, but not sensational. But I don't ever consider myself an expert in Macanese cuisine anyway. I do like their baked chicken with portuguese sauce (or is it baked portuguese chicken?)

Not a bad place to get a cheap, quick bite. The best deals there are their specials, different ones being offered thoughout the day. Service is quick and prices are good. Food range from good to mediocre. Some items are much better than others. I really like the Salt and Pepper Tofu, but wouldn't order the curry puffs again. Tasty or not, food is made to order and always served hot.
T-28 is at the corner of taravel and 28th ave. it's a all day and all night place for hongkong/macau style american food. they have jook and rice plates too. the place is clean and the staff is quick. i've been here several times for lunch and dinner. the place is always busy but turnover is fast as the kitchen is quick and the customers are quicker. porky bun, baked chicken, baked pork chop with fired rice or noodles are winners. portions are huge. their breakfast special before 11am is a deal. Jook, rice crepes and milk tea for $4. Parking is better than irving so that's a plus. still expect to walk at least a block.

Not your typical wonton house. This one has a Portuguese twist. Some unique menu items include Macau style pork buns (house baked buns similar to a french roll with different fillings-both savory and sweet) and a very delectable Burmese fish noodle soup (mohinga). Burma SuperStar also has a version of this Burmese fish noodle soup and I would rank T 28's offering on par. The usual suspects are also served - chow fun, chow mein, and baked pork chops. key stat - open 7:30 am to midnight. check it out!
