This placed has changed owners and it has gone totally downhill; however, we would still go there because it was convenient. 11/06/23 will be the last time. I ordered a pound and a half of the roast pork and got a plate of 90% fat with no meat. I know pork belly has some fat but that is unacceptable. The cut was not fit for sale and should have known there would be a problem when he took a piece from the tray instead of cutting from the hanging piece in the window. I guess they don't care about repeat business...too bad. read more

I love this spot! Today, I got the two item meat (char siu and bbq ribs) combo over rice. If you want the roasted pork, you may want to go in earlier because they were out by the time I got there, which was around 3:30 pm. It's a smaller place, but everything is so good! Also, if you're ordering any combo rice plate, you don't have to wait in line, just go inside and place your order. read more

For the first time, ate there. Mom enjoyed the chicken feet; I haven't been bold enough to try them yet. Had the BBQ 2-item combo with duck and roast pork. Comes with rice and cabbage. The duck was so fatty and skin not crisp. I think that's been the trend there, so I'm going to have to find a different purveyor of duck henceforth. So disappointed. read more

My mom used to take me here as a kid after my orthodontist appointments down the street. In hindsight, it was probably a bad idea since it wasn't great for the braces, but I do remember it being delicious. There's always a line out the door which has got to mean that this place does something right. That something, is their duck. Well, of course I had to have their duck, and I doubled down with some roast pork over rice. We also ordered the beef stew over chow fun as well. The duck is delectable, and the skin is perfectly crisp without too much fat. The pork was the same way and was a bargain for $6.50. The chow fun was piping hot and paired well with the beef and veggies, and a great deal for about $6. Their most popular dishes are their roasted meats and that's what you should come for. Service was good, but if you don't speak Cantonese it can be pretty tough to communicate. I would consider take-out next time to enjoy the dishes at home, but this place is a winner for sure.

This is my go to take out Chinese joint. My kids love beef with scrambled eggs over rice and they make it just right here. They don't skimp on the beef and do not over season the dish. The beef chow fun container is always filled to the top and not overly greasy. There's always a line for their BBQ items (their BBQ is awarding winning) but if you order off the menu walk pass the line and get someone's attention. If you order over the phone (which I did) they make the food extremely fast! I ordered three items and it only took 10 mins. The BBQ is good but I only eat that occasionally. Roast duck here is also good but way to fatty for my taste. 3 dishes = $22.50 read more

Really good food and fast service! The roast duck was so good and the roast pork was good too!

Thanks for the stone cold duck when I asked for the hot one still dripping oil. So thoughtful of you...Got to stick to your guns with your old ideas of sticking it to the customers by selling your oldest food first. Must be the reason there are no more long lines to buy your food. Hope you guys make lots of money selling your way overpriced food to folks like me who has been a loyal customer for 15 years because with those tactics, you won't be open for much longer. read more

I had to go to Safeway across the street from Cheung Hing and was craving BBQ after shopping. So, I dropped my groceries and walked on over. The first thing you notice when you upon this place is the poultry hanging in the window. The roast duck and chicken looks phenomenal. This is definitely an eye catcher to those passing by on the street or sidewalk. I saw ribs as well and knew I had to get something from here. Once inside I noticed that the seating was very LIMITED. Actually, there are signs posted to just take a seat at a table if you want to dine in. Also, the seats are reserved for those that want to dine in as well. The signs come off as a bit aggressive which was a somewhat of a turn off. When you walked in you see the menu to your right on the wall. I thought initially that they only offered to poultry by the pound but I did see a menu at the end of the counter. Fortunately, I knew I wanted BBQ ribs and that was my aim in coming here. After placing my order I was considering buying more food but that seemed to be a bit much for just me, I like to eat but this would've been excessive. When I finally placed my order the butcher began to chop up the BBQ ribs. He was rather aggressive and excited while he was chopping. I don't know if that is how most butchers are but he was really into it. The cost for the pound came out to $8.70 total. All things considered that was a bargain in my opinion. While I placed my order the female cashier and someone in the back were yelling back and forth to each other. It was a bit odd and confusing. I could tell by her face that it was not something good. Because I could not understand what was being said I just waiting to get my food rung up. But, when I finally got ready to pay she seemed upset and frustrated. I just got some bad vibes from here. Not very welcoming or inviting. Oh, I forgot to mention that out of the maybe 5 or 6 tables here there was only one table that was occupied and that was by the staff who happened to be taking a break. My guess is that eating here is not the best option. After paying for my food I grabbed a menu and headed out. When I finally got home I had a chance to review the menu. There are some really good options for food here but I am not sure that I would want to come back to such a unstable environment. I would like to try the running chicken with rice but we'll have to see. As far as my food goes, it was OK. Good sweet ribs that I mixed with some steamed rice. I did feel that the ribs were cut into pieces way too small but the flavor was still good. I was able to save some for tomorrow because the pound was actually more than what I needed. Good ribs and a good meal. If the workers here could get along and customer service improved I could see this place getting a lot of good reviews. I am satisfied with what I ordered but I hope that next time I come here things have improved for the better. #bbqribsIgotdibs read more

Long lines outside of the restaurant. Tried to get the roast pork but it was gone by the time when it was our turn to order. All we got was the duck liver, roast duck and pork tongue. I love the duck liver. Roast duck was a little too greasy but still tasty. The pork tongue was a little tough. Definitely coming back next time for the roast pork! Just need to be here early for that. read more

Really good Chinese bbq. The roast duck was so succulent and the bbq pork was sweet and salty. The only downside was that they ran out of roast pork, which is my favorite. They are also cash only so make sure you come prepared. My wife isn't into Cantonese style cuisine so she ordered the Mongolian Beef which was nice and flavorful. I really enjoyed their hot and sour soup but it needed more spice as the sour flavors dominated. I do like that they have a lot of meat in the soup. I wish there was something like this in the East Bay but I will definitely come back if I'm ever in the area. read more

One of my favorite places to come to for Chinese BBQ meat plates! Love the BBQ Pork Over Rice (#99). It comes with some side veggies as well! Super affordable for SF at $8.95 a plate.

Would not recommend sitting in. But damn, is the takeout awesome. One of the best (if not the best) places for BBQ meat in SF read more

Cheung Hing Restaurant - storefront - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

My brother raved about this place for months and finally dragged us all out there this weekend to try it out. This place encapsulates everything you would imagine when talking about a hole in the wall chinese meat shop. It's dirty, loud, greasy and the (great) smell permeates the air both inside and outside. We ordered a number of items but the ones that stood out were the roast duck, the roast pork and the char siu riblets. Each and every one of these items were pretty close to the best I've ever had. And that is saying something considering the great chinese meat shops we have in my home town of Honolulu. Perfectly salty, fatty and moist the meat is accompanied by the most flavorful and crispy skin. Unfortunately the char siu itself is not the best there is but hey, you can't have everything in one shop right? Overall, for some chinese meats, this place is simply "as good as it gets." read more

Cheung Hing Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Closer to old school prices, classic Chinese hole-in-the-wall service, overly salty food. That pretty much sums it up.

Cheung Hing is a family pleaser in my household. Not just for me. Not just for my parents and sister. But also my grandmother, uncle, cousins, their partners -- the whole shebang. I've been coming to Cheung Hing for takeout and the occasional sit down meal for as long as I can remember (even with the short stint of it being closed, it didn't sway our family from finding another Chinese deli). While I've explored the menu to some extent, there are some dishes that keep me coming back for more. Cheung Hing tastes like home, family, and community and I hope they stay around for a long time. Okay now, here is a list of some of the must gets at this classic San Francisco spot: BEST DISHES FROM CHEUNG HING (and in no particular order): 1) The Turkey - ORDER THIS. I believe you may only be able to take out during the holidays (thanksgiving and christmas time). Needless to say, this turkey is the best turkey I've had from a takeout place. Plus, they give you small bao buns and this delicious gravy that make excellent sides and additions. 2) The Roast BBQ Pork - UGH so good, great to put into a porridge or salad or even eat on your own. The roasted flavor is strong with this one. 3) The Roast Duck - sometimes the duck can be a mixed bag -- somedays it is more fatty or bony -- but overall this with rice and the duck sauce make the perfect meal 4) Bittermelon with Chicken - Such a classic. The bittermelon is not bitter but not too sweet and the sweet brown sauce over rice is downright addicting. 5) Chow Fun with Scrambled Eggs and Shrimp - just get it, enough said!! read more

Cheung Hing is your one stop shop for when you're craving some Chinese bbq meat. Don't be intimidated by the line out the door since it's a small primarily takeout place and they're pretty efficient so the line moves rather quick. I actually prefer the long lines because the meat is not left sitting for too long since they're always cooking up the next batch of bbq meat. Be prepared to order or you'll be holding up the line. I usually get the roast duck ($11/half or $18/whole) and bbq pork ($8.25/lb). There's also roast pork, chicken (five spice, soy sauce, free range, soy sauce), cuttle fish, pork ear/tongue/stomach, chicken feet, as well as cooked dishes. Both the roast duck and bbq pork were really good. Apart from the good seasoning/flavors, the duck isn't too fatty and the bbq pork isn't too lean. I usually frequent Ming Kee on Ocean Avenue because it's closer but actually prefer Cheung Hing. There's only a few tables which is fine since most people do takeout. Cash only. read more

You rock Cantonese people. Ma people! It's normal to pass by Cheung Hing and seeing a long line outside. Luckily this is just the to-go line where everyone orders the delicious roasted duck, roasted pork or other meat. We ate here on a Sunday so the tables were all free and we didn't want to wait. Like every Asian place, the service is super fast. The food was great. I'm a vegetarian so I don't know about the meat. But the whole duck my friends ordered was amazingly crispy according to them. read more

Service is always incredibly rude. I feel like because they're a known hotspot for roast duck they feel like they can get away with being disrespectful towards customers. read more

I don't think the BBQ was thaaat good. I was craving BBQ and we decided to come here bc my bf said when he thinks of good BBQ...he thinks of this place. Decorations were...well, what do you expect from these typical Chinese places. Which I'm not saying it's bad, because I love Chinese restaurants. Even if the place wasn't nice but the food is still good? I will definitely come back. We sat down and one of the ladies promptly gave us hot tea...we had to grab the menu ourselves which I didn't really mind. I got the BBQ pork and soy sauce chicken. Now...I LOVE LOVE LOVE BBQ pork. Biggest fan of BBQ pork right here. Whenever my family went out to eat, they ALWAYS asked me "so, what do you want? BBQ pork again?" So I would say I know what GOOD BBQ pork tastes like. But, this wasn't that good. Definitely other places that are a lot better. The soy sauce chicken, on the other hand, was pretty damn tasty. A lot of meat. Yummm. Not that much sauce on the chicken itself...more on the rice haha. Some veggies on the side and a good amount of rice. The portion of our rice dishes was perfect. Funny story: There is always people lining up for this place (it was 4pm and it wasn't never empty...). Well, this one guy skipped all of them and ordered his food. The other see lais (lol if you're chinese you know who I'm talking about! hahaa) were GLARING at him. Hilarious. Scary story: There was a little girl with her mom and she kept on singing but it was creepy...like those little kids in scary movies. lol. Please learn some Disney songs :/ I think I would come back again. Although the BBQ pork wasn't the most amazing, I think I want to try their other foods. A-OK for me! read more

Cheung Hing Restaurant - BBQ + chicken over rice - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Another reviewer said that this was the best rest duck in town and I got to say that I have eaten a lot of roast duck searching for that ever elusive best, and this is the best, hands down. It's on the pricey side but every time you bite into that succulent deliciousness, tell yourself that you're worth it! read more

This WAS my favorite place for roast duck, roast pork & BBQ pork for years...no longer! I went there last week to get a half a duck for my mom & I and a lunch plate for my friend. I had heard that they were doing unethical things with their food but I didn't believe it and had to find out for myself. When I opened the box, it looked really good at first. There was part of a drumstick and part of the drumette on top, 1 piece of breast meat and the rest were little pieces of bones & skin with very little meat. My friend's lunch plate of roast duck and BBQ pork was no better. I called the business to tell them I was unhappy and the lady that answered swore they wouldn't do anything like that. She asked me what would they do with the better pieces. I replied put them on the top of other boxes? Then when I said I only had 1 piece of breast meat, she said I probably got a smaller duck. Ok, so then I still should've had 4-5 small pieces of breast meat, right? I'm never going back here again. Such a shame...raise the prices and then don't give you what you paid for!!! read more

Note that I will be going to Hong Kong to try out the real deal in a few weeks, so my opinion might change very soon, but for now I'm definitely a fan. I got the 3 item combo plate, which comes with white rice, some lettuce and 3 barbeque items of your choice. I went with the roast duck, char siu and roast pork. The char siu was a disappointing in my opinion. I felt that the maltose ratio (the key ingredient in char siu that gives it its signature sweetness and sheen) was perhaps off? The roast duck was on point; wonderfully fatty and nicely seasoned. It's good that they provide plenty of plain lettuce and rice, because you'll want something to collect all those juices and fat with before shoveling it all down your mouth. Similarly, the roast pork was also very well-executed. Juicy, clean-tasting (lacking the funk that pork from Cantonese BBQ spots can sometimes have), and with impressively crackly skin. Next time I'll be sure to get just the duck and pork, as they made the trip worth it. Service is very bare-bones to nonexistent, but that's par for the cause at places like this. Cash only. read more

Best roast duck ever--juicy with the spices that I grew up with when we picked them at Chinatown so long ago. Thank goodness I don't live in SF! And their siu yok/roast pig and BBQ pork is good too. read more

I have been coming to this place since I was in grade school! It's crazy to see how much they have improved over the years. It's my go to restaurant for some Chinese BBQ essentials-- especially when I want to throw a party! The prices are fair and the food here is absolutely delicious. I 100% stand by other reviewer's thoughts their roast duck being so delicious. I would even dare to say it's the tastiest outside Asia. I would recommend ordering a whole roast duck to share or a roast duck over rice and steamed cabbage meal for one. It's so tender and flavorful! It's really a party in your mouth. When I was little, my parents would buy me a roast duck over rice from here to eat while they worked nearby. I really do regard this restaurant and their roast duck as my comfort food. Everyone I have shared the roast duck with, loved it as well! It's not a surprise that their line is out the door every time I come into town to visit now. I also love their fried pork belly and char siu pork. My family and friends will send me here to buy these to bring home (and I live 2 hours away)! CASH ONLY! They speak both Cantonese and Mandarin... and a little English too! Don't be afraid to try it! read more

Pretty standard... Nothing too special. Yes, if you're not Chinese or Canto, the deli meats hanging in the window might be super impressive. But if you're Chinese or Canto, this is basic haha After running around for the day, came here with the boyfriend because we were both craving duck. The line was out of the door (small store space anyway) and we just got behind everyone. Little did we know, the line is only for to-go orders. If you want to stay and eat (5 or 6 tables of four), just head straight in and grab a seat. We ordered: roast duck with rice ($7.25 on menu) - peking duck! roast pork with rice ($7.25 on menu) - pork belly BBQ pork with rice ($7.25 on menu) - chasu I would say that the meats are on the saltier side. And the menu prices weren't actually what we were charged. We got charged $8.45 for each dish but it wasn't a huge deal so we didn't fight it... Definitely will though next time. I would estimate maybe a little less than half a pound for each meat dish. If you're starving like we were, just order 3 dishes and you don't have to finish all the rice. But since the meat oils saturate the rice on the bottom, the rice becomes SUPER delicious. Pretty standard compared to a lot of deli places in other Chinatowns like Flushing and Boston. read more

Not exactly anywhere near Hong Kong Standard(10/10 perfection) but not bad for San Francisco. (5/10) issues: -overcooked chicken breast -overcooked charsiu (lean part) -to-go half chicken much better than eat-in chicken. -duck oversalted -chopping technique needs improvement. Way too many bone shards. read more

Maybe the best Chinese bbq in The City. Unfortunately, have to watch my diet and can't eat much of this type of food (salty, sugary, fatty). Don't understand why some people complain about the meats or blame the person cutting the meat. YOU get to CHOOSE which duck, chicken, or piece of bbq meat you want. You let them know if you want the meat cut it up or not and you get to watch it go down. If you think the pork is too fatty, pick another piece. If you think they're ripping off pieces of duck, get it whole and carve it yourself. Personally, I just let them know what I like and they've come thru (most of the time). They also have a kitchen in the back and you can order noodles, won ton, congee, and other menu items. Pro tip, if ordering bbq meat rice plate or menu items, go inside to order or order by phone. The line outside is for bbq items to go. read more

The best Chinese roast duck in SF hands down! My uncle picked up a plate of a full sized duck and it was delicious. Of course I find most of these Chinese bbq places a bit on the salty side (compared to how it is served in Asia) but this one doesn't overdo it too much... read more

The best roast duck you can get in San Francisco. And that's a BIG statement. This place constantly has a line out the door for their duck and bbq meats. You know a place is good when a bunch of elderly Chinese people are willing to stand in line for 20 mins for some food! There isn't a lot of seating, and the place is small, but that's okay. Most people order their food a la carte and to go! The duck meat is the perfect ratio of fat and meat, is juicy, and flavorful. Best eaten when hot, my mom always gets a whole duck and we have an amazing dish for the next few meals. I also want to take one with me whenever I head back to San Diego for college. This is something you can't find anywhere else! Another notable dish is the bbq pork. When it's fresh, the pork is so tender and flavorful. Pair it with some cabbage and rice and you have an amazing meal. YUMMERS! If you are ever in the area, you CANNOT miss out on trying the duck from Cheung Hing. read more

A great hole in the wall. My boyfriend and I decided to come here before he left to go back home. When you first enter, you can recognize that it seems like a typical Chinese restaurant. Roasted duck hanging from the window, a basic menu hangs above the ordering space, not very welcoming, and the smell of the restaurant is incredible. We were a little confused on how to order because there was no one greeting us, but we quickly figured it out. If you get confused, here's what you do: 1. Dining in? Pick a table and sit down. If there are no tables then, sorry, you're sh*t out of luck. You have to order to-go. 2. Ordering to-go: if you want meat (roasted duck, bbq, turkey, etc) then you let the butcher know. It's usually a male that's wearing a hat that is closest to the duck. If you want to order something that's off the menu, ask the girl manning the cashier for one and then order from there. If you want my advice, I wouldn't sit down and eat. I would order to-go. More on that later. My boyfriend and I sat down and a girl came out from the back and handed us menus. My boyfriend and I decided to order the shrimp fried rice as well as the roasted duck. It seemed to be a popular choice. She came out again and along with our food order, my boyfriend ordered a cup of water and I ordered hot tea. The water was straight-up tap water (like most restaurants) except it had that metallic taste that was not pleasant at all. The hot tea genuinely smelled like chlorine and I refused to drink anything after that. The fried rice came first and the duck came shortly after. All I can say is: the hot tea and the water is completely forgotten. The roasted duck had so much flavor and was so incredibly juicy. The portions that we got weren't favorable (lots of bone, etc) but man. The meat and the skin were well worth it. My boyfriend even said that the duck was so good that he's willing to come back: but only if we order to go. The restaurant itself is completely grimey but coming from the 626, I had my fair share of dirty restaurants with wonderful food. I would most definitely come back here but.... I can only emphasize this enough: I will only order to go. read more

The Sunset has a lot of the city's best kept secrets and I think Cheung Hing is a prime example of this. We are talking a no-frills HK-style butcher shop where you can get delicious char siu pork, ribs, soy sauce chicken, roast duck, etc. We usually order these things as takeout and prepare them with rice and veggies at home, but many people like to order dishes from Cheung Hing too, such as wonton noodle soup, jook (Chinese porridge) or roast duck over rice. Comfort food with comfort portions at comfort prices. read more

My review can only be for the cha siu (BBQ Roast Pork), currently sold for $7.80/lb. This is the only thing that I have purchased and will continuously go out of my way to come here to purchase. It's totally worth it! Eventually, I'm sure I will try the other offerings, but this place literally has the best cha siu I have had since coming to SF. It's tender, a little fatty, not dry at all and extremely flavorful. There are only two other places that I will repeatedly travel out of my way to get cha siu from and they're both in NY (Queens and BK!). I highly recommend this spot - there is usually always a line outside to purchase their food - they have roast duck, chicken, siew pork etc. all the offerings of your typical chinese establishment. There is little seating available - do not expect anything fancy but do expect to get a good bang for your buck! I'm telling you that cha siu is delicious. so. worth. it. read more

Cheung Hing Restaurant - BBQ roast pork (cha siu) so good! - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

CASH ONLY Thank you yelpers for pointing me in this direction. This place reminds me of a couple of the better spots in Oakland's Chinatown. I simply went with a little bit of the BBQ Pork and BBQ Duck over rice. They throw in some cabbage and just the meat, rice, cabbage go very well with one another to create a great taste that I had not had for awhile. Service is friendly and as others have noted the line moves relatively fast. Good value as well especially by SF standards since the hearty combo above ran me $10 and some change. read more

I heard this was one of the best Chinese BBQ places in the city, but I'd have to say meh, I've had better. I tried their roast duck here twice. While the flavor is good, I didn't think it was as moist as some of the other roast ducks I've had. Actually I have to say it was a little too salty for me. I've had it over rice and in noodle soup, and both times they gave me very fatty pieces with barely any meat. read more

The roast duck and food portion lived up to the hype! My roast duck and chicken combo along with string beans were delicious. By the time I got there, there was no more BBQ pork. So go there early! My only complaint is that the floor was a bit slippery, so hope they can attend to that since I saw many elderly who dine in. I would come back again - earlier next time for my BBQ pork. read more
