The first time I discovered this place was when I was browsing through DoorDash seeing what to have to eat and it immediately made it to my list for a place to visit and tryout. This place is fairly new and a good addition to the area since there are not much Asian/Chinese restaurants in the area. Upon arrival, it was dinner time and the place has yet to fill up. I was greeted by their friendly staff and seated right away. Their menu consists of small plates/appetizers, rice dishes, noodles, desserts, drinks and much more to chooses from. Also Dim Sum is served all day here. Everything is made to order which is always a plus for me since it is quality over quantity and I never mind the wait since I am a very patient person. This place gives out true vibes of a Hong Kong style cafe. As time went by, the place quickly filled up along with people picking up their orders and delivery drives arriving for pickups. The staffs here are very welcoming, well trained and understanding where my visit was a satisfying and issue free one. You can dine in, order for take out, place an order over the phone or have it delivered to you via a delivery app. I highly recommend this place to all Chinese food enthusiasts, to anyone willing to try something new, if you need a quick bite, to anyone looking for a laid back spot to dine at or if you just so happen to be in the area to check them out. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.

delicious sinitic/east-asian eatery in west portal! 5star food and service! I’ve eaten there twice and both times, the food quality, portion sizes, and service did not fall short! To give an example, my most recent time I got their chow fun, shrimp dumplings, and lotus rice, and a free Thai tea since it was happy hour. The chow fun had the PERFECT texture, the Thai tea was delicious and both sides left me feeling refreshed. Lastly, the server even offered to give me another drink as he saw I wasn’t drinking mine! Truly a RESTaurant, which is so rare to find in this day and age.

Came here for lunch. Ordered the beef chow fun and popcorn chicken with hot honey sauce. Both were tasty. We had to order the yummy tiramisu bingsu. Service was great. Will come back again.

Its been over 20 years since I've experienced this type of restaurant in SF. Back in the early 2K's, HK style dessert started to become popular. Especially in the Richmond District. Late night red bean, coconut milk, jellys, taro.... it was fantastic. Slowly Boba drinks took over the scene. Snow Bliss not only brings back those amazing desserts but the food is also excellent! It has a HK vibe. Small, friendly and delicious food.

I wouldn't say I venture out to the West Portal too often, but gems like Snow Bliss, definitely make it a compelling reason to! They specialize in bingsu, but their menu is huge, offering everything from popcorn chicken, to rice plates and noodle soups. If you're in the mood for dim sum, they have that too! I ordered the popcorn chicken, wonton noodle soup, and matcha bingsu. The popcorn chicken was notable because it's made Chinese salt and pepper style, which made it really fragrant and savory. Not many places do it this way, but I think they should! Wonton noodle soup was also pretty solid, and the matcha bingsu was refreshing. The chewy mochi made every bite delicious and I would definitely come back here for a full meal, or just for dessert!

Snow Bliss Cafe totally exceeded my expectations. The presentation of every dessert is beautiful, and the snow ice is unbelievably smooth — light, creamy, and packed with flavor without feeling heavy. I also loved how customizable everything was, from the toppings to the sweetness level of the drinks. The cafe is spotless and has a really calming atmosphere, perfect for studying or catching up with friends. Staff were friendly and made great recommendations. Overall, a must-visit spot if you love high-quality desserts and aesthetic cafés!

We’re so happy to have checked out this lovely place! Family run with pride and care, delicious (!!!) food, super nice service and squeaky clean! Seriously, not a speck of dust to be found. We were both impressed with the super juicy and tender chicken, shrimp (cooked to perfection) and beef, super flavorful fried rice and portion sizes we’ll have leftover for a few days! The folks working the place are so nice and take such great care of the cafe. We’ll be back and we’ll bring friends and family!

November 2025: Used to come to the previous restaurant for many years. Stopped by to try Snow Bliss Cafe during dinner time. Ordered the beef chow fun and the broccoli beef with rice. Overall, enjoyed my meal. Portion was quite large. Service was friendly. The restaurant is not very big but the workers are pretty prompt. Our order took a while to come out because they were very busy with customers and Togo orders. They gave us complimentary fried won tons for our inconvenience. I thought that was a very nice gesture. (We weren't complaining. They still acknowledged the delay in our order by giving us the won tons.) Overall, would definitely come back again for more delicious Chinese food.
