Chinese Restaurant

Review based on the string beans, chicken wings, mapo tofu, and chow fun. We wanted to order the Peking duck, however their oven malfunctioned when we waited an hour for the dish. So this review does not reflect that. Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: Casual with modern vibes and wonderful decor Value: 2/5 The dishes we ordered tasted fine and as expected, but I had wanted more “wow, this tastes better than other places”. It had a bit more western taste than authentic Chinese cuisine. We sat in the blocked off section for larger parties. The staff checked on us, but could have had more frequent refills and attentiveness. Staff was very friendly and when they discovered the duck wasn’t able to be served, they remedied the situation well. My biggest letdown was the value. I understand it’s in a popular neighborhood and overhead may be higher but the price to portion ratio was not good. Smaller portions that other like Chinese restaurants. I’m not a hater and wanted to love YH, but it didn’t happen for me.

A must try! I’ve been looking for authentic pecking duck in the city for a while, and here we go, YH is so far the best I’ve ever had in San Francisco. The duck is tender and juicy, wrap together with the sauce wrap, it hits the spot right away.

Went on a thursday night. Expect a wait if you come after 6:30 pm, they don't seat you until you have the full party. That said, service was really quick once we sat down. We ordered the pork and beef pan-fried dumplings, pork xiao long bao, sauteed grean beans, cucumber, and the Zha Jiang noodles. Everything was really good. My favorite was the pan-fried dumplings, as I've never had that before. Just be careful as it does squirt everywhere if you bite into it. I liked the pork better than the beef dumpling. The cucumber was fresh, although I didn't really taste the garlic sauce. The xiao long bao was great, and the meat and sauce were very flavorful. Although personally, I thought they were on the bigger side. I prefer XLB that has an equal meat to pastry ratio. The green beans were perfectly crunchy. For 6 dishes, tea and 1 beer, we paid ~$120 including tips. This is a good portion for 3 people. Would definitely come back again.

San Francisco has no shortage of dumpling spots, but Dumpling Home truly stands out! Everything I tried was fantastic. Pork Xiao Long Bao – The skins were delicate yet held the rich, flavorful broth perfectly. Each bite was juicy and packed with flavor. Dan Dan Noodles – Easily one of the best I’ve ever had! The sauce was incredibly creamy, nutty, and deeply flavorful, coating the perfectly chewy noodles beautifully. Juicy Pork Pan-Fried Baos – These were delicious — crispy and golden on the bottom while staying soft and fluffy on top, bursting with savory, juicy pork inside. Seasoned Beef Pockets – The bread had the perfect crisp exterior with a slightly chewy bite, while the beef was well-seasoned with a subtle sweetness that tied everything together. With so many dumpling spots in SF, it can be hard to choose, but Dumpling Home is absolutely worth it. I’ll definitely be back!

Food is delicious and good portion. I enjoy this place, my to go when hungry.

Delicious authentic Cantonese food! Came on a weekend with my family and everything was hot and fresh. Also, super reasonably priced. It's hard to find authentic family owned restaurants these days, so this was a real treat! We ordered salt and pepper spareribs, eggplant with minced pork and preserved vegetable, stir fried beef cubes, stir fried cauliflower and pork, and my favorite fried stuffed tofu. Highly recommended for lunch or dinner including takeout and catering, will definitely come back again!

Easy Chinese takeout place. Great value, really affordable, super fast, and good taste. The general Tso’s chicken was super crispy still even after sitting a bit - loved it. I grabbed a plate here for around 11$ on a nice day and went to eat in civic center, great vibes!

Really good food and large combo portions. Dim sum is fresh. No seating area since COVID.

I recently dined at a Golden Kim star Chinese restaurant in San Francisco, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. The Mongolian beef was tender, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The vegetable fried rice was equally impressive, with a great mix of fresh vegetables and well-seasoned rice that complemented the beef beautifully. The steamed dumplings were a delightful surprise, with a soft, delicate exterior and a delicious, savory filling. What really stood out, though, were the portions. They were simply incredible—the best I've ever had at a Chinese restaurant, hands down. I left feeling more than satisfied, with enough leftovers to enjoy another meal at home. If you're looking for great Chinese food with generous servings, this place is definitely worth a visit!

Food was delicious and service was friendly. First time eating here and I will definitely eat here again. Reasonable price, great taste, and abundant portions. We ordered the beef chow fun and some other dishes I forgot.

So I was hungry for some pork chow mein and in the area. Other reviews said this place was good, so I stopped in. Boy, were they wrong... First off, it was prime evening dinner time on New Years Day. There was only 1 table eating in the place. It is a small dining area where 8 maybe 10 tables. The lady at the register greeted me and took my order, which after seeing the place, I ordered to go instead of eating there. I ordered the pork chow mein that I was craving and a beer while I waited. There was (what I assume to be a family member or staff member) with his head down and slumped by the register, and a very unhappy vibe coming from him, not saying anything but staring at me. This was uncomfortable, to say the least, but it gets even worse.... I get my order and go outside. I open the bag, and there are no napkins. The chopsticks are super thin and can barely hold food, and there is o ly a very small thing of a chili sauce.. maybe one ounce at best. The food itself was just plain bad. The noodles were bland, and that's ALL THERE WAS....NOODLES.... I ate the entire plate, and it only had 3 bites of pork and no veggies besides a couple ( literally 2 or 3) shreds of carrots . When I finally got to tell the bottom of the plate, there were a few more scraps of pork and a small piece of green onion... (see picture included). When I think of good chow mein, I can see plenty of meat and veggies. This was the exact opposite. For almost $20, I expect a lot more than bland noodles and no meat and veggies. If I could give the place 0 stars, I would... Avoid this place if you can help it.

Great food + atmosphere. This husband and wife duo are a great addition to the neighborhood. We should support and continue to support small businesses like theirs. Food is great and satisfying!

Pretty darn good food. Finally stopped by after driving by for a couple of years and thinking that no one ever came here. First, it's now obvious that they do a lot of takeout business, and second, the food is really yummy. The spinach-mushroom bao bun is pretty decent, and the chicken and green bean entree has some really nice flavors happening. Will definitely come back to try more items.

Clean kitchen, awesome food, open late… what more do I need to say? Try the walnut shrimp

April 5, 2025- Saturday. Second time coming here since the price is super affordable. As of April 5, 2025- they're having a promotion of ACYE Dim-Sum for $25.99+$1.50 (Tea/person). Overall, the food was okay- not the best but you pay for what you get. My personal favorites: CHICKEN FEET- It was a bit over seasoned and too sweet, but still good. MANGO PUDDING- 10/10, no complaints RICE NOODLE ROLLS- I enjoyed the texture of the noodle rolls, however the filling shrimp/beef/BBQ pork could be improved. ==================================================== Everything else on the menu is consumable but it's more of a hit or miss- either the skin is too soggy/gooey or the inside is overly seasoned/overly cooked. If you're looking for affordable Dim-Sum or it's your first time- definitely would recommend it for what you're paying. The service and the team is 10/10. If they could improve on the food quality, I could see this place doing big things!

My new favorite neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Don’t let the huge size of the restaurant intimidate you for a Chinese restaurant. It looks like a banquet hall, but they have reasonably priced lunch rice plates for $15- Also AYCE dim-sum for $25 during certain hours and days. The dim sum variety is less but it’s still AYCE. I like how their menu is a paper menu to mark your dishes. The food is not like other places. I’m not sure exactly why, the food tastes lighter. Sure you still get the same typical Chinese dishes but the instead of tasting just the sauce you actually taste the fresh vegetables and meat. The white rice even tastes better than other places. Its new, so not crowded at because not so many people know about it but it’s a perfect place for large groups or family dinners. It’s crab season, so we had the ginger crab, pea sprouts and Singapore noodles. Nice portions and all delicious!

KungFood perfectly balances authentic Chinese flavors with a Western touch—truly one of a kind! It has been a lifesaver for my taste Buds! Fresh and clean ingredients, great value for money!

We had the meatless orange chicken and meatless general tso’s, divine!! Fresh jasmine green tea and amazing service, we spoke to Chino Yang who was so friendly and had some amazing stories to tell. Would highly recommend eating here :)

Sure thing! Here's a more natural, humanized version of your review with the word changes: --- Definitely recommend!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 The last few times I’ve eaten out in the city were pretty underwhelming, so this place was a pleasant surprise! We loved it so much, we ended up going back for dinner three days in a row… 😅 First pic: Honey Glazed Shrimp Second: Veggie Fried Rice Third: Orange Chicken Fourth: House Satay Fried Rice (BBQ Pork, Chicken, Shrimp, and Satay Sauce) Everything was delicious, but I’ve gotta say—*the Honey Glazed Shrimp* was my top pick, hands down! --- Hope that works! Let me know if you want any tweaks or more details.

The delivery servicemen I think was From Beyond Menu and he didn't adhear to the delivery instructions, which were please call upon arrival. He texted and left my $85.00 order outside my apartment door. Why have delivery instructions if you don't follow them. Otherwise, the food was great and plentiful. Even had leftovers.

I walked by this place and saw a bunch of locals inside, decided to give it a try and am not disappointed. Filling portions, the #1 special is $9.21 and comes with choice of 1 vegetable (bean sprouts, lettuce, cilantro, corn, scallions). I got the soy milk as well, $2.76. Got the order after 8 minutes, and found seating easily because the dining room has ample seating (big tables, small tables, counter). Plenty of condiment choices as well, including chili oil and peanut sauce. The customers range from elderly to teenagers, and you can understand why after having it - great value for the price and large dining room.

How did they make the rice rolls so thin!! It's nothing like the ones you order from dim sum. Completely different. Rice Roll Special ($9.21) - One of the best rice rolls I've ever had. It's silky and light but still loaded with filling. Top it with chili oil and soy sauce at the sauce station. Deeelicious. Pork with Preserved Egg Congee ($5.99 for large) - A little bland but nothing some white pepper can't fix. The two of us were stuffed from only ordering two items. Great value too.

When my family and I walked in here, we were surprised to discover that we were the only people in the whole restaurant. It unfortunately reflected much of Chinatown too- there wasn't too much life when we went off Grant/Kearny St. The food was tasty- too salty but delicious when mixed with rice- but expensive. We ordered three entrees, two veggie appetizers, and rice but ended up paying $30 a person. Service was great- our server was very nice and the owner gave us some good recommendations.

Spacious restaurant with a lunch special that fills you with delights : fried dumpling and cold noodles to start ; followed by a vegetarian tofu with white rice; They charge five bucks for non customers using toilets. And that is what airlines charge too. Chinese tea not included unless you drink it in the bathroom and then it’s free. They want you to use the bathroom a lot .
