We dined for brunch and had Dim sum. We ordered 6 items of which two were not available. The service was ok but the server was quiet and not very helpful, perhaps if could have been a language barrier. However, what we did order was delicious and fresh. The only thing we didn’t like was the state of the restrooms which were dirty and gave us a yuk feeling. A shame because the Resturant itself was fairly clean and tidy.

🥢Stumbled into President Obama’s favorite Chinese spot in SF Chinatown…Food was great 📸🤳but apparently the real main course is a framed Obama photo IG : Foodie.Catlady

Upon arrival our party realized we made a reservation at the other Z&Y. However, the host was able to help us out and get us seated as quickly as possible before the kitchen took their last orders. The presentation of the food was attractive. Some of the standout dishes were the stir-fried crab, cumin lamb and the almond cream dessert. Loved how the crab & lamb were just sizzling on the hot plate when they came out! The soup dumplings were also a solid order with awesome texture and flavor, but the cumin lamb was my favorite. If you can handle lots of Szechuan peppers then you’ll love the crab as it’s quite numbing. The mung bean flour noodle in that dish was the intriguing part for me with their unique texture and color. There were subtle areas of service that could be improved. For example, leaving the bottle of water on table so that we didn’t have empty glasses. Secondly, there was a server that was rushing to drop the hot plate for the crab and spilled our sauce for soup dumplings. Other than that they were efficient and gave us great recommendations and stayed on top of waters for most of the dinner. Our favorite part of the experience was our server, Jake! He had told us he opened the location and was at the other Z&Y for 10 years. Jake was great with recommendations and had a fun sense of humor ;) He let us see and use his POS, as we were needing out since we’re all hospitality professionals. He introduced us to Chef Han, and we had an awesome time getting to know him and learn about his journey. It was a memorable experience, and well definitely be back for the Peking Duck!

We were lucky enough to get a last minute reservation. Coming from Hong Kong, it’s safe to say this is truly an authentic culinary experience. It’s recommended to pre-book the peking duck, and its 100% worth it! We’re looking forward to coming back.

We came here at dinner time around 8pm and got seated right away. We got the Sesame Noodles, the Sesame chicken, steamed pork dumplings and Wonton soup. I had totally forgot that you can ask the servers to pick for you, I would have done that if I remembered. I recommend the Sesame Chicken, it was 12/10 and the Wonton Soup, it is very different from all wonton soups I’ve ever had, the soup was silky smooth, and it was served with toasted rice in the soup I think? It was amazing. The Sesame noodles didn’t stand out for me, it reminds me of Spaghetti noodles fusion type, it was okay, same with the steamed pork dumplings. I did noticed most of their customers were non-Asians, maybe this place is more geared towards that demographic, the food is a little salty in my opinion. Service was very quick, fast and efficient. Staffs are super friendly and nice. I would come back again to try the Sizzling rice and the sesame chicken again—which according to my boyfriend, the best he’s ever had, and he is from SoCal. I tend to have my bias towards more authentic traditional type of food, but this was definitely a hit. I would want to go try out his daughter’s restaurant, House of Fang for the modernized Chinese style as well

Super bomb Chinese food! Loved the Honey Apple Chicken dish (the apples are insane), the Scallion Pancake and the Sesame Tofu. So good we went two days in a row. Great atmosphere and the fire comes out so fast.

You will get drastic diarrhea after eating here! The waitress here is condescending and it took them half an hour from receiving the order to putting the hotpot on your desk. Trust me. It's better off eating hotpot at home.

Quality is decent and the ambiance is nice, but the prices are outrageous for hot pot. They are very stingy with their portions as well. You can do much better in SF for hot pot (especially around Sunset/Richmond). Came here once and have never returned since

So many old school restaurants in Chinatown and this was one of the best - Family lunch - 3 of us have been here and two had not. We had so much fun and the food was super good. Love the sisters who took care of us especially Annie the younger sister LOL. Celebrating our sister C bd. Thank you best part of our day.

This is a a 50-year old SF Chinatown restaurant serving wonderful Cantonese food. It is know.l also as the Pork Chop house. Its most famous dish is the Roast Pork Rice plate. They have perfected it! Don’t be fooled by its unassuming decor (one can easily miss the place). The people there are friendly and often throw in 1-2 fried dumplings for you! Recommend! Update: 11/10/24 Their 3-dish meal with rice and soup is delicious and very reasonable. A lot of times, the owner provides free dessert or a potsticker. They are super friendly too! I highly recommend anyone to give this restaurant (also called Port Chop House) a try

We walked in and were warmly greeted by the staff. Our waitress was particularly friendly and chatty. We ate the Fish Cakes, Pork Kidney w/ Ginger & Onion, and Shrimp w/ 3 Kinds of Mushroom. The pork kidney dish was unique and really good. We liked everything.

Maggie was fantastic! I ordered the beef and broccoli and was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful everything was. The broccoli had that perfect Asian-style tenderness and seasoning — absolutely delicious. The beef was juicy and well-cooked, and the overall dish hit all the right notes. Great service, great food. I love the white rice too! I’ll definitely be coming back!

Hunan House sits in the heart of Chinatown, they have a vast menu with every dish the average American is familiar with and MORE! This was the absolute best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Full disclosure, I’m a Texas native and to my knowledge, there’s no Chinatown in our entire great state. We had a party of 9, each ordered 2 dishes to try as much as we could and every dish delivered! The management and staff were very friendly and extremely accommodating. This is definitely one I would recommend to everyone!!

Great Chinese food, cannot go wrong. We love all the dishes, especially the rib dish. The price is reasonable. Would eat there again.

This place is amazing! We ate here on our first night in San Francisco and we were really tempted to go back, but we had to try some other places while we were in town. We ordered the Spider Pan Fried Bao, Green Onion Pancake, Crab Puff, Steamed Pork Bao, Shrimp and Pork Dumplings, Kung Pao Chicken Bao and the Ghirardelli Chocolate XLB. Everything was great. We liked the Steamed Pork Bao the best. I would highly recommend checking this place out.

The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Although some dishes were a bit too salty for my taste, they still had great flavor. I particularly enjoyed the fun presentation of the noodles. Friendly staff. Fairly priced. We visited on a holiday weekend, so the restaurant was quite crowded. We had to wait about half an hour for a table. This place appeared cleaner and more modern than many of the nearby restaurants, which is why we chose it, and we're glad it lived up to our expectations. The toilet was clean as well.

Was recommended to point out that they mentioned it was one of the few chinese spots that had served food with a Hong Kong style flair. They had such great service that they catered to our every need. The lady who waited on us was attentive and kind. Her helpers were prompt and served us well. Our orders were... The chicken fried rice plate. From the lunch special menu. The roast duck over white rice. Roast pork with bean curds over white rice. Chicken cashew with vegeys over white rice. And Asian noodles with mushrooms. It was nice. I would recommend it.

Fun atmosphere...the food is wonderful. We had Orange Chicken and the Tomato Beef Chow Mein. Both dishes were very tasty!!! The Potstickers were really good too!!!

Z&Y is a must for anyone who lives in San Fransisco or is visiting! My favorite part of the meal was the orange chicken and the steamed pork dumplings. The food came quick and the restaurant was so clean. One thing is the Dan Dan noodles are a bit spicy. If you can handle spice, get them. The flavor is good but the spice is high. My family is visiting and it has been our favorite restaurant. (Above is a genuine review by my 11 year old son - the rest of us also loved the mu shu pork and vegetable delight, and agree that the service was fantastic. Definitely recommend to anyone!)

We were in the area and saw the restaurant was fairly popular. Turns out it's a local favorite. The Michelin guide has recommended the places a few times over the years. We ordered dumplings, egg fried rice and twice cooked pork. The rice and dumpling were excellent. The twice cooked pork was mostly good, just a few pieces that were dry or tasted less seasoned than the rest. Overall the experience was great. We came on Saturday night and only had to wait about 20 minutes.

Came here with a friend and wow the food here is amazing and cheap! Good: - Super nice staff and really reasonable prices for good portion sizes - The food came out super quickly - The Mongolian beef was the best I've had in the city! So much flavor, and it was really chewy but pliable - Nice place to catch up with friends, quiet interior - The chow fun was really tasty and addictive, good texture and temperature Bad: - The place is small there are only really 3 tables in the space Overall I liked how this was a new find and would come back.

Wow oh wow!! Food is absolutely amazing, best Chinese food we have ever eaten! Fresh ingredients perfectly cooked, healthy (not drowning in oil). Stayed in SF for a few weeks, only regret is we didn’t find this place sooner - will place another order to bring back to rural Sonoma.. Thx soooo much Hulu Wa China Bistro!!

Really authentic Shanghai flavor with affordable price. We ordered the fried horsehair crab with topokki and it is the best I ever had in the US. Highly recommend!!

Good Shanghai fare, especially the gong pao chicken and the string beans. The food is pretty salty, which I like. Some of the dishes were not as flavorful as I hoped. Friendly service.
