Andy's Excellent Chinese Cuisine

My mouth waters just thinking about "Andy's". I just wish that we lived closer so that we could be there more often! We've been up and down the menu, and in our opinion Andy's has the best Chinese food in San Fran when we line up the excellent quality of food with such friendliness of service, the low prices, huge menu variety, and relatively quick time to bring us our freshly prepared food. If you're looking for some special ambience, that's not at Andy's, but you'll find all of the above, which is great for dining in or take-out. They honor reservations and take credit cards or cash.

Do not order from this place ever again...I ordered $27 worth of food and did not receive my full order. I called them back immediately after the driver left and was told that I would receive a callback. I was called back and was basically told I was lying and that the order was "packed by an older driver" and that "there was no mistake made." All over $4.70 that they didn't want to refund.

AWESOME GARLIC NOODLES....Incredible tasting ! I'd go across town just for these..oh wait, they have home delivery! SCORE!When I saw an award posted on their store front that stated, "Best Chow Mien in the City", there was no hesitation. I know what I'm ordering.Yep. The CHOW-MIEN dishes are some of the best in the City with the GARLIC NOODLES being the best unique tasting chow mien ever.Down one star for the solemn bleak atmosphere, although the wait-staff is friendly and helpful which sort of makes up for it. Go there for the chow mien...garlic noodles, and you'll be very happy. .

Andy's is my go to Chinese delivery spot, with consistently excellent prawns and walnuts, Kung pao chicken, and Szechuan beans topping my favorites the. When you actually eat at the stair ant it is clear why they are known for their takeout, the interior is nothing to write home about and stands in contrasts to the rest of the surrounding restaurants on Polk Street. However, the food is always delicious and Andy's will remain my o to Chinese food spot on Polk Street.

Got delivery from this place last night. Really good portions for a good price. I got the shredded pork in szechwan sauce with rice and avocado rolls. Very good as it didn't taste cheap with all that MSG or whatever. The avocado rolls were a little different as it was like a spring roll with sweet guacamole inside.As far as the service goes, I would give them 5 stars. My order arrived really fast and the food was still very hot when I got it which was excellent!

Okay, it would be nice to have at least tried the food. One hour and forty five minutes and no food. Yes, we have called.

Rude service, they have no idea what traditional Chinese food is. They over charge for rice and don't give you very much. The food was okay, but I will never go back.

After a volunteer session at one of the local schools, I met up with my friend for a little early lunch and a little shopping. We got to Andy's about 10 minutes after they opened and had to wait about 10 minutes for the tea to be served, but we did order the lunch specials. I had the Mongolian lamb which was excellent, with plenty of meat and well prepared. My friend had the Kung Pao and both were decidedly well done. For the price (about $7.50 each with tip) this was an excellent lunch at a very reasonable price. The lunches come with an egg roll, steamed rice (fried rice or chow mein $1.50 extra) and some orange slices and hot tea and fortune cookies. A good deal for a casual, come as you are eatery. The place is clean and comfortable. I will definitely eat lunch there again if I'm in the area, although there are a lot of restaurants in the area I would like to try as well. However for lunch, this is a good deal.The service was polite, friendly and prompt. Thumbs up for lunch.

This place is great. If by great, what I mean is that it sucks.Everything is either burnt, greasy, or just plain disgusting. Do they give you a ton of food, yes. Yes, they do. However, if that food tastes like homeless butthole and/or makes you physicall ill doesn't it defeat the point ?Yes, yes it does.For the record, I have never put anyone's butt near my face, and am explicitly anti-ATM.In case anyone was wondering.

Andy's is a lifesaver for vegetarians and also has great meat dishes.Delivery:For a long time, I'd only eaten Andy's food via delivery. They were always on time (consistently arrived between 25 and 40 minutes wherever I was in San Francisco) and kind on the phone and at the door. I've ordered vegetarian fried rice, chow fun, and various eggplant and green bean dishes multiple times for delivery. They've always been very flavorful and reasonably priced. Whenever we ordered from them, I was experiencing extreme hunger and Chinese food cravings, and their precious cargo always did the job! It also doesn't leave you tired and MSG-hungover like other Chinese places (even if you gorge yourself on the food like I usually do). I can tell Andy's uses high quality ingredients, and I've always gotten a balanced meal for a great price from them, whether it's delivered or at the restaurant.The Restaurant:After ordering delivery about six times, my friends and I finally had time to go to the restaurant on 9th. This was the first time I tried one of their meet dishes, too. At first, I was a bit worried because the restaurant was completely empty. I always get a little nervous when I don't see other people eating there, but I had no need to fear. The waitress was very sweet, and I could hear the hostess take order after order of take out meals, which confirmed that it definitely had a good reputation. We had the restaurant to ourselves, the food came out quickly, and our water and tea cups were always full! I finally tried their chicken chow fun, soup (hot and sour and seaweed), cashew chicken, and broccoli beef. All of it was great, and I ate my usual amount (which is a LOT) and felt completely satisfied.Andy's on 9th: the delivery is prompt, and the restaurant is cozy. The food's GREAT either way. I have been to the restaurant with a large group of friends as well as on a date. You can have great conversation because it's not packed, great food, and please both your vegetarian and carnivorous friends for a reasonable price.

Dont eat here, everybody I know has gotten sick they have this low grade crap.Also, their drivers are complete dicks.

I wanted to try out the new Living Social online ordering system, and decided to get some take out from Andy's Chinese Cuisine. The estimate was 25 minutes, for my food to be ready. I showed up a few minutes early and the food was already nicely packaged and ready for pick-up.The staff was very friendly and I really appreciated the fact that they double-boxed the food and double-bagged as well (as Chinese food tends to be greasy/saucy and can become a mess really quickly if incorrectly packaged). My boyfriend and I ordered:-Tomato beef noodles ($5.75): This was much larger than I was expecting. Noodles, with chunks of tomato, bell peppers and beef. It was not overly saucy or spiced, but it was still flavorful.-Potstickers ($4.50): 8 pieces; thèse don't really taste like any other pot stickers I've had before, but I still liked them. They were wrapped with thin wraps and the filling tasted like it had cilantro in it. The edges were nice and crisp and the dipping sauce was a little bit sweet too.-Fortune cookies (free!): they use the panda-brand pre-packaged fortune cookies. These don't have the best flavor, but I'm not picky.Overall, the food was fairly tasty and the pricing is very fair (it can't really get any cheaper). I wouldn't say it's "authentic," but who really cares- it still tastes pretty good. The portion sizes are extremely generous and this was way more than enough food for my boyfriend and I- we even had leftovers. So while it's not the best, it works and I may order take out or delivery again sometime. (Delivery minimum is only $10.) I liked that they included a take-out/delivery menu in the bag.

When Andy's opened on 9th Ave. many years ago, it was excellent but it's gone progressively downhill. Even the chicken kung pao they tout as the best in town is mediocre now. It used to be firey with lots of crunch. ...?

We lived in the city for a year, a couple of years ago. This was the best place that would deliver to our apartment. We tried several and this one was always reliable. We have been trying restaurants where we live now, but all I keep thinking about is the Egg Fu Young at Andy's!?

I eat at many Chinese restaurants and I find Andy's a good place to eat at. I eat there at least once a week & have done so for at least 12 years. Their Lunch specials are great and a good deal! I always order the garlic chicken ...?

Andy's does a lot of neighborhood hype, sending out flyers to all the residences toting they have the best Kung Pao chicken - NOT! I asked for the food to be mild & ordered the Kung Pao chicken which was not flavorful, just passe' like ...?

Just edible but you'd have to be nuts to eat at this joint in a city like San Francisco, for chrissake! The number of amazing Chinese restaurants within a 1 mile radius makes eating here by choice a SIN. Go anywhere but here if you want ...?

This is Chinese food in the sterotypical grain for people who have never experienced real Chinese food. San Franciscans are a different breed! We know good food, and are a diverse community. Please don't insult us with your cold Chop Suey, ...?

Definitely a restaurant for non-Oriental.We ordered 5 courses. All came on medium to small dishes. Too pricey for the kind of portions we got.Before we left, we noticed next table, all Caucasians, each got a good-sized (double ours, ...?

This is one of my favorite places to get Chinese food. I've been coming here for years and the service, along with the food, is always great. My favorites are the Kung Pao Chicken (which was actually rated the best in the city by Asian ...?

I rely on Andy's for prompt delivery of delicious and fresh Chinese fare, although I've never actually been inside the restaurant, and they have never let me down. Over the years, I've ordered just about every dish they serve and have always ...?

The best, most well-rounded Chinese menu, everything from decadent Kung Pao to ultrafresh dry wok mixed vegetables. Great, friendly, family service on takeaway ... and almost no one eats in, because the one thing Andy's lacks is a palatable ...?
