Cheung Hing

We didn't plan to come here, but on a Saturday lunch Hing Lung next door was packed and Cheung Hing next door was quiet and empty, to save time, we settled in here.

The menu posted outside has no price, but we were pleasantly surprised that the prices are reasonable.

The interior was simple. There's a BBQ counter upon entry. The tables felt a little sticky. Service was quiet and not proactive, but not hard to get if you need something. After we finished, table and dirty plates were cleaned up quite quickly.

Bbq rice plate is 13.99, not bad. Beef brisket Lo mein is also 13.99, good portions. They also give you an egg drop soup complementary but it's quite watery. I got smoked pan fry frog and it was quite tasty. Good heat from the wok and flavored strongly, but a lot of onions and not enough frogs. It's 20.99, not bad.

Parking is horrible in this neighborhood.

Pros: Friendly staff and clean dining area

Cons: The dishes were deceiving. They looked delicious but was bland.

It's 3.5 stars to be exact. To stay in that good Chinese restaurant star level.
Good Cantonese BBQ, ordered the roast duck, roast pork and the cha siu.
All we're done as you'd expect. Duck was maybe a bit gamier than other spots, but it was very meaty.
Roast pork skin was crispy, and the layers of fat, meat and skin were fairly consistent throughout the cut. Similar to what you would get in HK. The cut I got was probably on the less fatty side. I'll probably try to ask for a fattier cut next time and see if that enhances the flavor and taste.
Cha siu was standard for SF. My pops liked it. I found it to be on the drier side. I'm more accustomed to HK cha siu with like a thick honey glaze dripping off succulent meat.
Yes, I would probably come back here to retry the roast pork. I feel like the spot on Ocean, Ming's might have better duck.

Sad, sad, sad. How the mighty Cheung Hing has fallen.

This used to be the place to go.

They can't even get roast duck with wonton and noodles correct. The lady kept arguing with me that I didn't order the noodles. Thank goodness I did it through Yelp (which directed me to Grubhub).

I showed her my screen, and she rolled her eyes and just dumped some noodles into the box after having me continue to wait.

Horrible service. Small portions. The duck was meh and the wontons have no shrimp inside them.

Busy busy area so good luck finding a street parking during lunch time! Their meters use the parkmobile app so luckily I already have it for MN.

Food was mediocre. The potato leaf veggie was really salty. They did have a promo where you can get lobster e mein for $3, but I'm not sure how you can qualify for the promo.

Place is clean and you can see all the roast/barbecue hanging right when you enter. Overall it's not bad but I can do without.

We were too lazy too cook last night so we decided to swing by here for dinner. We walked in and we're seated pretty much immediately. The lady that took our order honestly seemed a little rude and didn't want to be there. I read her the number of what we wanted and she rudely said "I don't know what that is". Personally just felt like she could've asked me to clarify which dish it was. So fine, whatever brushed it off.

We ordered the West lake minced beef soup, young zhou fried rice, fish with tender greens, and the beef fillet with assorted mushrooms. Everything came out piping hot & smelled really good. The west lake minced beef soup was flavorful & had quite a bit of beef in there so they definitely don't skimp on anything. We thought the fish with tender greens was just okay. I enjoyed the beef fillet with assorted mushrooms and would definitely recommend this dish. The beef and mushrooms were all very flavorful, and not overcooked. The young zhou fried rice I would probably pass on. We've ordered this at other restaurants and it seems like this one is super bland in comparison to what we've had before. At the end of our meal, another server brought us two bowls of red bean dessert which I appreciated. I didn't think they'd actually offer traditional dessert with our meal so it was a nice surprise.

Overall, I'd come and eat here again although a few of the dishes were misses. Will have to just order other dishes next time. My family has ordered takeout from here before in the past and quite like it.

I was craving for cantonese bbq today so I walked in and ordered a takeout.

Food: Decent, like all other cantonese bbq near your place.

1. Roast duck: mediocre, I had better roast duck in other restaurants close by
2. Pork BBQ: greasier than other places, and tastes better when I reheated it using my oven

Service: Terrible

1. I asked the lady who took my order if she has any recommendations and she replied "I'm busy and why don't you take a look at the menu and figure it out". I was surprised by her response yet understand her tiredness.

2. I ordered two pounds bbq and was charged three, I asked another lady and she was like "yeah, that's common here"

3. I asked the lady in #2 if my takeout qualifies the promotion on the menu, she replied in an aggressive and rude way as "no and why don't you open your eyes wide and read it carefully". I was shocked by the response and asked her to clarify what she meant, the lady rolled her eyes and then told me BBQ does not qualify any promotions. I am just a customer politely asking the promotion advertised on your menu, you don't have to insult me in person and give me such dirty look.

Good luck with your business.

This is a big no for me I wouldn't return, be careful, they don't have prices on a lot of their menu and the receipt is not in English. I felt a little ripped off. Anyways I digress.. the food is okay, nothing to rave about. They brought out under cooked pork to my wife and kids and then got mad when we asked to switch it with something else. This visit was a waste of 100$ honestly.

Cheung Hing has always been our go to restaurant for years! They continue to have great customer service at the 3 locations we frequent (SSF, Millbrae and San Francisco). The roast duck is ........YUM!!! They also make this fried wonton soup with crab meat which is my fav along with the salt and pepper chicken wings!! For parties, they are my go to for their roast duck, chow mein and fried chicken!

Food is great. Most dishes are traditionally made the right way & the flavor is spot on. My favorite is the snow pea shoots when i feel i need veggies, and my favorite is the tomato beef on pan fried noodles, steamed chicken & rice with ginger sauce. I love the sauce i always ask for extra. The egg flower soup is just right for my dietary needs.

I go to the one in San Mateo for work lunch. The waitresses tend to my needs quick & fast if i'm down to a 1/2 hr lunch. My favorite waitress knows my routine so well & takes care of me. A big tip, they remember you for & should treat you better. Sometimes i don't want to wait & grab my own to go to boxes & pack up when i see they are super busy. Im one not to get mad at the restaurant staff. They don't say anything which is great cause i don't want to hear any comments or being smothered.

I love it at other restaurants when you are in the middle of eating & talking to your dining friend when they ask you if you need anything. I mean sarcastically "no" dont bother me, really but i like it when you do your job appropriately. You will get a nice tip. Thats me.

People who do not know the staff or what to order think that the staff is rude. You feel like they are yelling at you or look at you with no smile but i like the food & thats what i go there for. Its a regular old chinese attitude that goes a long way back. If you go to Sam Wo in chinatown, the funny history about Edsel Ford is that he was a famous waiter for being funny rude & mean to the customers. He made a customer wash the dishes...can you imagine that? Our old chinese attitude was always rude & mean. I dont know why but they think its funny & gets away with it all the time especially in crowded busy areas.

Fast service & good food. Thats their style.
