Idk about you but I love cheap finds and Utopia Cafe is one of them. I mean... where can you have a decent meal for under $10??? It still blows my mind how affordable this spot is. Definitely a hidden gem in SF CT. Love that they have a menu that is not too overwhelming. My go to is their pork knuckle noodle soup along with their pork liver if I'm feeling extra rich.

Nice hole in the wall restaurant serving HK cafe style meals. They are on Waverly Place and extremely easy to find in Chinatown. It's a quick meal and a good bathroom pit stop because each time I've been here I needed to use the restroom after circling the entire chinatown area for a free parking spot. I do like their beef stew wonton noodle soup. It doesn't break the bank being under $10 so they are a keep in my book. Their HK milk tea is over ice only so if you're looking for a true version of this you won't find it here. They also have lemon tea and it's served in a to-go cup. Cash only.
