This has been my go to restaurant for 30 years. Back on Potrero Hill I would eat here 3-4 times a week. Anytime I go back to SF it's my go to spot. It's not over the top. It's not nuvo or bespoke or any of that crap. It's just good food and leaves you happy and satisfied.

I have reviewed this neighborhood restaurant before as we order take out once a month. Today we decided to eat in... For apps we had the Haukaw and Siomai Combination. Followed by the Crab Rangoon. Both were tasty, freshly steamed and met our expectation. Next we had Mandarin Eggplant. This is our all time fave. It tastes even better when you eat at the restaurant! We ordered Eliza's Spicy Chicken. The were decorative Veggie that were crisply sautéed along the sides. Very good and one of our faves. Lastly, we had some Mushroom Chow Fun...delish! All the dishes were so much better as dine-in! But take out is not bad despite the time in the container. A neighborhood must!

I hadn't been here in years and it was still as good as ever! The interior is so nicely decorated and the food is great. I love their mushu pork it's always a good go to.

Good food, great service, family friendly I will recommend calling ahead plus parking is scarce.

Best/tasting Chinese fusion eats and attractive presentation! Order the specials like sunflower beef, spicy chicken and prawns, portobello shrimp, and combo appetizers. Prices are reasonable too! The gentlemen server will take care of you!

Quick update: These were delicious too: Sweet and sour pork Fried rice Pot stickers Vegetarian moo shu

Michael Bauer doesn't go here weekly for nothing! Went here for Chinese new year w two buds. Very pleasantly surprised- and quite frankly- we wondered why we haven't been here before?! The style of food is cleanly presented, light in fat and not too greasy -- and just very well executed. The duck was very tender on inside and the skin was very crispy. Yes there was more meat than bone!! - even the potsticker appi- a typical dish that doesn't leave impressions- was Better than good here - like- almost handmade ..?! Point is- each dish that we ordered and will order in future will likely be as good as the experience we had here. Cheers

I am apparently on a nostalgia tour of SF restaurants. I used to come here all of the time, like 15 years ago. This will set some context for you. The food here is good, very good in some cases. I am going to go ahead and recommend you get take out for reasons I will explain in a minute. First the food- It is hunan/mandarin style Chinese. I always get vegetarian mu shu. On my last visit it was as good as I remembered. The portion size has shrunk but as my husband noted when we got the bill, it was our first meal under $100 in a long time. We also got hot and sour soup, chicken with cashews and mongolian beef. The food was hot, fresh and everyone enjoyed it. You got the feeling everyone there was a regular. They all greeted the owner (I presume) familiarly and seemed to have established their regular order. A very neighborhood kind of place. I wish we had gotten take out because the restaurant was cold AF. I think it was even colder than it was outside. We did not take our coats off the entire time. There was a space heater behind us but it didn't help much. The decor is very dated (like it would have been very cutting edge in the 90s) and kind of run down. It made me a little sad because this is obviously someone's business and they made it through the pandemic but maybe just barely. Kind of like they are going through the motions but their heart is not in it anymore.

If you are craving Hunan style Chinese food with a California twist, give this family owned restaurant a try! For vegetarians, they have plenty of options here and will customize dishes as well. We started coming to Eliza's during the pandemic and quickly became addicted to their portobello shrimp bok choy dish. If you like mushroom/truffle flavor, the sauce in that dish has plenty of it. The portobello mushroom is sliced thinly and has a great texture and reminds my fiancé of abalone. Tonight we came here to dine in for the first time. They were pretty busy on a Saturday night, we waited 5 minutes to be seated. The interior design is interesting, it has an eclectic mix of modern art and traditional golden Chinese religious idols (Buddhist I think?). Overall, flavors of all our dishes were on point, service was attentive, we'll definitely come back to dine in soon. Garlic eggplant appetizer- very flavorful, garlic adds a nice crunch, generous portion of garlic. Pairs well with the sweeter soy sauce marinade. Nicely grilled. Hot and sour soup (we got it vegetarian)- one of our favorite dishes of the meal and hit the spot on a cold night. Honey walnut prawn- tasty, shrimps are on the smaller side and a bit more breading than I prefer. Portobello and bok choy (we got it customized without shrimp)- our favorite dish, never disappoints. Umami mushroom flavor pairs so well with the bok choy. Sweet and sour pork- well balanced, good amount of meat, bell peppers, pineapple, tomato, carrots.
