    OMG this place is so underrated! It's hidden gem and I'd definitely go back. Good: - Super cheap food, and super fast service, it feels like a cafeteria style place - Huge portion sizes and lots of food options - Loved the sweet and sour pork, the short ribs, the combo plates, and the empanadas - all of it was so well prepared and very tasty - Staff was very friendly Bad: - A little bit more dingy of a place, it's clean but you shouldn't expect a fancy place Overall this place is super unique and I'd definitely recommend it to people looking for a unique dive and good food for a great price!

    We came to visit this place from east bay. We order Venezuelan rotisserie chicken which came with 4 freshly baked warm cornbread and dips. Chicken tastes perfect, very juicy with crunchy skin. Venezuelan drinks with lime was very refreshing, which was recommended by our Waitress. They also served traditional Chinese beef chow fun, which is excellent. Everything we tried, including fried Pumkins and fried sesame balls are all delicious. We are so happy we discovered this hidden gem.

    Such a great spot that just opened! We got the chicken empanada, corn soup, mini arepas, and the combo valenciano. The food was so delicious, their house made chili oil was yummy, the service was great, and the portion sizes were amazing! Will definitely be back!!

    Wow! Very excited about this restaurant opening! International cuisine that is creative with accessible price points! I had the chili oil pork dumplings and the croquetos de congrejos. Looking forward to trying more :-D the staff takes pride in their business. Clean, spacious atmosphere.

    We ordered the Venezuelan roast chicken and a yang chow fried rice. Good value for money and fast pick-up times! I'm happy that this spot opened up in the neighborhood.

    A wonderful new spot in the Tenderloin! I was intrigued by the fusion and especially thought the empanadas variations were worth trying. I had their cantoo special and an empanada stuffed with beef, beans, and cheese. The empanada was hot, fluffy, and stuffed with mouthwatering ingredients that really made it hard not to just stuff the whole thing in my mouth. The special included juicy chicken, fried rice, and a side of veggies. There was so much rice, I had to take some to go! I would prefer a little more chicken and a little less rice, but at the current price ($12), I won't complain too much about it. Definitely will stop by again to try their soups and another empanada!

    Food was really amazing, my favorite was defn the chilli oil dumplings as its such a unique taste i havent tasted elsewhere, its like my tastebuds unlocked a new flavour. The bbq duck was very similar to the one i had in china, so this one is quite authentic and the empanadas is one of the best i've ever tasted, its juicy and flavourful. Highly recommend and would defn go back!

    Really impressed by the food quality, as the prices are a low for SF. Very good service, no line and a lot of space inside. I like the variety of food choices and interesting choices of food! Definitely recommend.

    A wonderful dinner at a surprisingly affordable price. We ordered the pumpkin and lumpia starters, followed by the roasted chicken, ma pa tofu, pea shoots, plantain, and fried rice. The portions were very generous and we ended up taking a lot away with us to share; the staff were very helpful in packing it up for us and in general just very nice. Some of the food is clearly a fusion of styles in a single dish, but the biggest aspect of the fusion was having the dishes together (fried plantain with ma pa tofu, for example).

    This place was sooo good and they've only been open 11 days! We ordered takeout and were late to pick up our food but it was still warm and delicious by the time we got home and the accompanying sauces they give you are incredible. Ask for the shrimp chili oil with your food!

    Cantoo is a charming new addition to the neighborhood. Interesting flavors. We enjoyed the booth seating, customer service and the savory food options we ordered.

    Mostly tasty food, good service I had the combo Cantoo ($12), fresh cantaloupe juice ($6), and quesillo ($6). The rice was perfectly cooked, the BBQ pork was great, and the chicken was flavorful. I gulped down the cantaloupe juice quickly, because it tasted great. The caramel sauce on the quesillo was burnt though, and left a bitter aftertaste. The prices seem fair and I'd return, but I wouldn't order the quesillo again.

    Awesome family business It seems that one lady serves everyone while her parents prepare the food in the kitchen. She is very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. The Pabellon was pretty good, and the portion was big. We also had the seafood soup. Also, a big portion. We order other items as well. My goodness, we ordered too much for 2 people. Prices for the food are cheap. In summary, food is affordable, generous, and authentic. Service was awesome.

    The food was really great. We had some empanadas, carne mechada was my favorite, but the pollo and pabellon were also great. We also had some mini arepas that were really good plus the arroz especial. The service was great, we felt very welcome.

    Now this place is awesome. The chicken was flavorful especially with the house made white sauce. The sweet sour sauce was just trying too hard. This place is Asian Venezuelan fusion. I want tobtry more but for a good introduction to the food you have to order the Chicken combo and it's under $10. Don't worry it's in an ok part of the Tenderloin.
