Four Kings - not worth the hype, sorry! I understand why it has high ratings, but most of the positive reviews seem to come from non-Asian or non-Cantonese diners. I wouldn't even consider this 'fine dining.' The only reason it was hard to make a reservation is that the restaurant is tiny, and they prioritize same-day walk-ins customers. so you HAVE to book a month in advance. Four of us went, and we were really excited to try it since a few of our mutual friends enjoyed the food here. The menu was interesting, offering a modern twist on Cantonese cuisine. However, the food was overly salted, and their signature squab dish came out undercooked, which was disappointing! Unfortunately, everything was just mediocre. Nothing stood out or was special. The idea of the concept is great but the execution wasn’t there. I'm sure you can find better Cantonese restaurants in Chinatown that offer better food than this one!

4/14/2025 - table for 2 After a wait of 2 hours (walk in) we enjoyed .. Green Beans - Good Eggplant - Good Cabbage - It was served cold so not my fav. Scallop vermicelli- OK Octopus skewers - a little chewy for my tastes. Chrysanthemum Tea - Loved it.

I found this place through Google Maps recommendations and I want to tell you that it was a unique experience since we arrived. It is the best Cantonese restaurant in San Francisco. We arrived around 8 pm and we didn't have to wait. They took us to the underground part, which is an experience since it seems like you are entering another city. The service was excellent because the waiter was very patient since my English is not the best and he helped me choose the dishes. They welcomed us with tea, which they were very careful to serve. Afterwards, we ordered the duck, which was delicious, and the prawns with honey walnuts, which I also highly recommend because the combination of flavors is wonderful. The dessert was also delicious. Overall, I highly recommend the restaurant because you will eat very well and in a unique way.

Was in town for a weekend. The hotel manager highly recommended this spot. The service was really good. Everyone was very friendly. We didn't have a reservation,it was raining and the place was packed. Fortunately there was just two of us so we were sat at small table for two with no problem. Food was better than most of the Chinese food places we've been to in the last several years. The fried rice actually had flavor and was one of the best I've had in recent times. It was Golden Rice. The lemon chicken had good flavor but was overcooked and chewy. Our favorite was a house specialty called Three treasures with black bean sauce. It was chefs kiss,top tier! Would go back just for that and the rice.

Nice restaurant with authentic Hunan dishes. The smoked pork belly tastes really good 💯😊 Good luck with the fortune cat too! 😺

When I'm anywhere else, outside of San Francisco, and someone says, "hey you wanna get Chinese?"...it's places like this that I'm thinking of. I can't for the life of me understand why no one can make good Chinese food except Chinese restaurants in this city. The dumplings were delicious and the garlic chicken over steamed rice was excellent. The ambiance was basic, and the service was pretty formulaic. He literally just took my order and ran my card. I wouldn't go so far as to say they're rude, just not particularly welcoming or social. But then again, I came here specifically to get delicious Chinese food and that's what I got. If you're looking for a cozy, delightful setting this isn't it, but if your priority is really good Chinese food then absolutely you're in the right place.

Walking through Chinatown made us crave a comfort food, wonton soup. Hon's looked like it would foot the bill. There is an extensive menu with a variety of traditional Chinese dishes, but we specifically came for wonton soup and scallion pancakes. The wonton were very good and as we had anticipated. The noodles were also a nice texture and thickness. The broth though wasn't as flavorful. I liken it to tasting like dishwater if I knew what dishwater tasted like -- bland and an amalgamation of whatever was thrown in it. Nonetheless, the wonton and noodles were good enough to make up for it. The scallion pancakes are always a must to order when they are on the menu and these didn't disappoint. Crisp, but soft and chewy. The perfect accompaniment. We also ordered a salt and pepper tofu appetizer which was okay. We prefer it to have more fried garlic. Not bad though. Service was efficient and helpful. We ordered right away and the food came out promptly after. They are attentive with refilling water and fulfilling any requests. The wait time was also not bad even on a Sunday. They seem to manage and turn tables quickly. Overall a good experience. Only a more flavorful broth would give this review 5 stars.

We didn't come here at rush time so easily to get a table but if come here at busy time; be prepared to get in line. Store is small but really cozy and clean. Foods are delicious and well seasoned. It really gives a taste of a traditional Chinese noodles. Highly recommended. Take out also a good option if you are in rush.

After walking around Chinatown, around 11:30 we stopped in for some authentic dim sum which was delicious. Inside the place was very tranquil and relaxing. Even when it started getting busier for lunch it was still not noisy. Service was great and attentive but not interfering. Efficiently bringing our various dim sum dishes and refilling our water. They had a printout of the dishes ordered at the end of the table and would check off when it was placed on the table. We chose 2 orders of Shrimp Dumplings, 2 of Steamed BBQ Pork Buns, 1 of Pork Siu Mai, 2 of Green Onion Pancake, 1 of Pork Potstickers, 1 of Veg Egg Rolls, 1 Black Bran Spareribs, 1 Sesame Ball with Red Bean Paste and 2 Hot Teas. Each order usually consisted of 3-4 items per basket. The dumplings, pork buns, pot stickers and siu mai were tender and tasty! The onion pancakes and egg rolls were very crispy and delicious! We nicely finished it off with a Sesame Ball with Red Bean Paste. They were nicely sweet and reminded me when I used to go to Chinatown for dim sum with my family back home. Great food, service and atmosphere! Worth a visit!

This restaurant was amazing!!! Delicious authentic Chinese cuisine!!! Their assortment of dim sum was soooo good! The roasted duck was the juiciest perfect duck I have eaten in my life! I know it seems exaggerated but, its the truth! The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. I met a lady who might have been the manager name Lily and she was the sweetest and friendly lady. I definitely recommend this dimsum spot and I promise you will not regret it!!! 😊

Absolutely delicious, had a very lovely time here. Service was fast at 9:00am and the menu had everything a dim sum craving person needed. I enjoyed the food and the service. Lovely location in China Town. So happy!

Not a bad dim sum spot, we came here after reading a couple of recommendations and wanted to have a bit of a bite to eat. The pork buns were okay, a bit more on the sweeter side than I’m used to (probably a NY thing), scallion pancake was very good, and the steamed shrimp dumplings were good. General Tso more in the savory side rather than sweet and spicy-ish. Everything was very fresh. Overall I’d probably go again cause it’s a very quiet and chill spot compared to the other parts of Chinatown and had decent prices!

Wonderful restaurant that took me back to my childhood. Great BBQ pork and Orange chicken. Hot tea. The crab rangoon were substantial and had real crab. Service was fast and friendly, and many locals came in to get food and chat with the staff, lending to the wonderful atmosphere.

We decided to stop here after walking around a bit. I am glad we did! I ordered Kung Pao Chicken which was very tasty! My wife ordered Beef Mongolian. She liked it but said some meat was a little rubbery. We also ordered crab rangoon but they came out fairly cold and after our meal, instead of an appetizer. Not sure why but explains the temperature. The staff was great but did have to remind them to get water and then refills. I am not sure they are used to people drinking so much water. But they attended well and were nice. They also gave us some delicious soup on the house and some tea. Overall it was a good lunch for under $50.

Many reports that the restaurant has closed permanently ~ obviously wrong.... please clean this up so people can see that the restaurant IS OPEN and come visit once more. Covid is over ~ Chinatown is open for busihess once more.

The building and sign is still there but this old world Chinese restaurant is long gone. Long gone are the $1.00 fried gulf prawns or the $2.00 lobster Cantonese of its hey days. Long gone are the days that patrons wore dinner suits to a memorable Chinese dinner. I’m told by the long time residents that this place was one of the restaurants to be in.

North Chinese cuisine specialized in flour food. Food quality is good but not great. Chinese churros, 油条，was fresh and crispy. Tofu jelly, 豆脑，fresh made but a little salty. Also ordered beef burritos 牛肉饼, was OK, but the inside was not fully warm. Overall food quality, I would give 4 stars. However the service hurts their rating. Only accept cash but no credit card. Interestingly, they put credit card logos on the wall, but they told me they only accepted cash.

It’s a tiny, old but surprisedly good Chinese brunch place (northern style). I had enough HK Dim sum and have been looking for northern style brunch for a long time and I also see this one but it seems so old and out of fashion so I never went in. Finally, I had the first northern brunch here and didn’t fail. And I LOVE their Wanton, the skin is really thin and meat is very tender. I personally don’t like HK wanton, they put too many things such as water chestnut, shrimp etc. BUT I like the traditionally one the most, just meat and only meat but to make it very tender is not easy. This restaurant did a good job. AND it’s really CHEAP.

Food was pretty good and fresh! I will say I recommend order Fried Dumplings and Soy milk! Their Chinese Hot Sauce is also impressive! I will come back here soon to visit them again!

I give it 3 stars out of 5 because of bad customer services, the buns are not very special, but other foods on the menu are good. During my experience here, there was only one person working as waiter and cashier at same time. She didn’t speak English, making it very difficult to order food. After we ordered the food, she came back to my table and tried to explain to us that one of my food is sold out but we didn’t understand at that moment, so she got the money and slammed it on my table and walked away. Buns taste normal, but other foods taste better. Such as beef noodle, century egg congee, and wonton soup.

Looking for a great little Dim Sum spot? Try HK.! It's budget friendly, made to order, fresh, great portion sizes, and just plain delicious. At other spots around town, we'd walk about $100 a person or more for dim sum. Here, $20 a person and you're stuffed! Found a new favorite to try at other spots. 42, 43, or 49. Two of these 3 we ordered. One had a super crispy and flaky crust with a shrimp center. It was just delicious! The other was super soft rolled and stuffed with all sorts of goodies. Meat, mushrooms, etc. I believe it was a bean paste roll. I'll get this every time now. This is one that won't disappoint. They were attentive, not one negative item to point out here. There's plenty of parking here, also a number of parking garages. During prime time hours, it can get a little packed. We already have plans to go back for more this weekend. Until next time.

The soup was good and the fried rice was not really fired but was good would come back to try more see attached pictures and follow me on Google reviews for more travel spots and food

Jing 5 was quite a delightful find for us. If you're interested in trying delicious chicken, duck, or pork offal, then this is the place to stop by and give it a try. You can purchase a mix and match of various items, which are sold by the pound. After selecting the protein options, the server will mix them with the seasoning sauces – either mild spicy or hot spicy. They also offer a variety of pre-packaged items for takeaway. They also offer noodles and other menu items. It is a small restaurant with maybe about 5 or 6 tables. We will visit there again when we explore the Bellaire Chinatown area.

Wuhan eatery that has a variety of marinated meats and cold appetizers. Tried beef shank and duck neck. Both were good. Will come by to try more. Update: re gan mian is only okay. Like the duck necks, pork feet, and vegetables.
