Five Happiness - San Francisco

Great Taiwanese-style brunch items! Salty soy milk, shaobing, youtiao, and many other items!

The food is quite good. It's Taiwanese and the best day to go is Sunday for their rice balls. The prices since covid have gone up but the food is still good. There are definitely a few favorites like the combo cold dish appetizer, and other dishes. Being associated with a Taiwanese family, we tend to frequent this place often. There are a few other spots but YMMV.

This place is a huge part of my childhood and holds some of my best memories. My parents have followed the owners from their previous location! I’ve been coming here since I was in my mother’s womb, and now I'm bringing my own children. We've shared so many wonderful family meals and created lasting memories! Bill is exceptional! He always encouraged my parents to try new dishes and has treated us like family. To my son, he is now “Uncle Bill!” As for the dishes, I absolutely love them all! If you want to try something new, just talk to Bill—he'll guide you! The food and service are fantastic! We even drive across town to pick up food from here!

Take out service only. Good food, nice people, great service!

TLDR: Take out only currently, they take card, and is an institution. Staff is really endearing and the food is authentic. Their Taiwanese breakfast and dishes are the most authentic I've had in the Bay and is the closest taste of home I can get. Highly recommend their soy milk, won ton in hot sauce, you tiao (chinese donut), salty fan tuan (salty rice wrap with chinese donut in it) and more. We come here as much as we can (one time they wouldn't sell me the soy milk because it was made bland, and that really speaks to the quality standard they hold their food to), and I've ran into so many people every time we're waiting for pick up that are regulars and drive from all over the Bay to order from here that's how good it is!
