    lobster crispy noodles $26
    Jeff H.

    Hing Lung Cafe was crowded on a Thursday night. Luckily we came a bit early and we didn't have to wait. Our order was a beef ball congee $15 and a lobster crispy noodles $26. We wanted some fried Chinese donut with the porridge but it was sold out. We noticed they have new menus now. It is easier to read and, there are photos. We asked for less sauce for the lobster crispy noodles. When it arrived, it will full of sauce and the noodles were mostly soggy. At least the porridge with the meat balls was good.

    Pork and preserved egg porridge
    Bill P.

    Order: Pork and preserved egg porridge: shredded pork that is a bit salt with egg that consist of jelly like texture. classic comfort food for a cold day or night. Rice noodle roll pot with braised beef stew: love the sauce, beef was sooo tender and rice rolls were soft with just a little bit of chewiness to it. There is tendon in this dish and you can ask for less if you want more meat Fried bread and fried donut: must orders for the porridge, fried bread is sweet and the fried donut is salty. Crispy exterior that felt fresh Original place used to be in San Francisco. Prefer this location instead of one further down south. This place is known for their porridge, rice rolls and fried delights. We were seated right away in a booth, there are about 4 booths on each side of the restaurant with tables in the middles. Authentic restaurant in this busy street, parking is metered in front of. There are closed for a few hours between lunch and dinner

    Found this spot by chance as fam and I were hungry and didn't felt like cooking. It's a hole in a wall spot and it's what you see is what you get kind of place. Food is delicious and served in HUGE portions! They're a small place with buzzing crowds. They know their regulars by name which shows how long they've been there. 4/5 stars would recommend

    Every time I come to SF, my mom brings us here as a must eat. The flavors are authentic and you can't find any place like this in LA. We came in on a Friday night and all the tables were filled. We were seated within 5 minutes of entering. They offer street parking but it was pretty difficult to find any. We ended up circling around and found a parking structure close by. They offer a weekday special where if you order $68+, they give you half a chicken or soy chicken. Unfortunately, they ran out of soy chicken for the night so we got the regular chicken instead. The fried donut is a must try. These were my favorite and you can't find anything like this. If you want to try a clay pot, I'd recommend ordering it first before analyzing the rest of the menu because it does take 30 minutes for them to prepare. Everything was delicious and this would be my favorite local spot.

    Suspicious fish in my congee

    Hubby & I dropped in for lunch today after a Costco run nearby. We were in a mood for comfort food after being out of the country for several weeks. Pros - * we were greeted immediately and instructed where to sit. * Menus and hot tea walked over. * Hubby's beef chow fun with gravy had plenty of beef and great wok flavor. * My fish congee came sizzling hot in a cast iron bowl. * Very generous portions where we actually shared. And we rarely share. Cons - * Once we decided on what to order it was a wait. And wait. And wait. We flagged a waiter. I noticed this with other patrons that also needed to flag a waiter down. * the fish in my fish congee was weird. It never flaked. Was rubbery and slimy. Was it actually fish? I picked all the fish out. When we were done we flagged down the waiter for our check. We boxed up our leftover chow fun. Paid cash and left satisfied. I'd come again but skip the fish.

    Tofu and Bok Choy
    Andy N.

    A standard Cantonese restaurant with decent food but pretty sure the quality could've been a lot better. I came here with my family before an overnight flight to Asia and immediately felt sick afterwards. Everything we ordered seemed incredibly greasy so there was so much oil and sauce slathered on everything. My family decided to order everything vegetarian (and I can't 100% confidently say it was vegan despite asking) but our gai lan, noodles, and tofu dish was just full of salt and oil. After a while, my stomach started hurting and the only thing that curbed it were the complimentary sliced oranges to end the meal. I can't say I loved the experience (and the service left much to be desired, even as a family that speaks Canto) so I won't be returning unless family decides to take us here, which was why we came in the first place.

    Came here for take out of Singapore curry rice noodles which comes with pork and shrimp at 11:30 on a Friday afternoon. since they open at 11 many of the tables were filled with regulars or folks waiting for their take out. Bill came to $19.77 and it was nice the cashier informed me that there would be a 3% additional fee if I charged with a card which I ended up paying with cash. Did not see any signage about the 3% fee but it was nice I was informed before paying. Solid Hong Kong Cantonese cafe and will come back again if I'm not wanting Mexican food from El Farolito up the block.

    G4. Rice Noodle with Chicken in Fish Broth
    Chelsea N.

    Good value for what you're paying. Hainanese chicken over rice noodles in fish broth (7/10) - broth didn't really have a rich fish taste. Chicken was tender and well marinated. Had to add lots of white pepper for a kick. The restaurant is tiny and had only 10 tables! Could tell that this is a local spot.

    Lamb pot
    Johnny Z.

    We come to hing ling in ssf a few times a month, and it is one of our regular go-to spots. During our last visit, we asked a waitress if there were any special dishes for the holiday season. She highly recommended the soy sauce chicken and the lamb pot. Both dishes were absolutely delicious!i would highly recommend both the soy sauce chicken and the lamb pot to everyone, especially those who enjoy lamb and chicken.

    I appreciate how well they season their dishes without overdoing it. Nothing feels overly salty, which is rare since a lot of Chinese food tends to be heavy on salt. Hing Lung keeps it balanced, and it really elevates the dining experience. I leave feeling satisfied, not bloated or overly thirsty.

    Beef congress serves 4
    Clifford W.

    Parking on meters free after hours or nearby parking lot. Food is tasty and Hong Kong style. Beef congee was thick tasty, beef slices, ginger, scallions. Very steamy hot. Soy sauce chicken was average, free range chew. Beef curry had sinewy beef, very tough beef to my taste, tasty curry gravy. General Tso chicken good tangy flavor, deep fried chicken in sweet sauce on bed of broccoli was excellent. Beef chow fun was average. Not too salty as I like it. Service ice reasonably quick. Ambiance was ice family Cafe, run like mom and pop cafe. Overall, we liked food, 4 stars out of 5.

    Party tray menu August 2025
    Jasmin C.

    Ordered a small party tray of cha siu (bbq pork) chow mein and they charged me $65 instead of the $55 listed? Chow mein was good though, and it was a hit at my work potluck. Pretty standard Chinese restaurant. Have enjoyed their other locations my whole life.

    L7. H.K. Style Beef Chow Fun
    Allena C.

    Update: It's been a while since dining here. I heard from a few friends that the food has changed and most likely there is a new chef. We took a chance thinking how bad can the food be? Well, some dishes were not good, while others were edible, but not like it used to be. HK-STYLE BEEF CHOW FUN ~ This dish lacked the smokey flavor (wok hay) and color. The bean sprouts were barely cooked like it was an afterthought or they almost forgot to put them in. Disappointing. 3/5 BRAISED PORK AND PRESERVED MUSTARD GREEN IN POT ~ The pork was so dry, it was almost inedible. Actually, I took one bite and left the rest on my plate. The meat used was too lean! Usually, it's fatty and tender, so it'll melt in your mouth. Maybe this dish just needed to be cooked even longer or they need to buy better meat. Won't order this again! 1/5 SEA COCONUT CONCH STEWED CHICKEN SOUP ~ It's soup! You really can't screw this one up? It tasted okay. It wasn't salty, but flavorful and it tasted clean. 4/5 STIR-FRIED MINCED PORK WITH STRING BEANS IN XO SAUCE ~ This dish was okay, though it was a bit salty and some of the beans seemed overcooked. The pork could have been chopped up a bit more. 3/5 SAMPAN CONGEE ~ A bit bland, but it's ok for congee. Hing Lung is known for their congee, so it was expected to be decent. 4/5 CLAYPOT RICE WITH ASSORTED CURED MEATS ~ This dish takes an extra 30 minutes to prepare. However, it came to us without the crispy rice on the bottom. We asked them to heat it more so the rice would be crispy, like it should be. They said the rice would burn and it should be fine as is. Because we insisted, they proceeded to check whether it needed to be cooked longer. The rice was white on the bottom and not even light brown! They took it back for another 15-20 minutes. After it was cooked more, it was better, but I think if the chef added some oil to the pot before putting in the rice and meat, it would have crisped up the rice quicker and it would have tasted better too. By the time this was back on our table, we were done with dinner. 3/5 It's unfortunate to update my review and take away 2 stars. I would only come here for their congee. But I can make my own congee at home, if I had all the ingredients. I think I'll stick to their San Bruno location where the food has been consistently good and satisfying. Sadly, I won't be coming back to this location unless things change.

    Msg is definitely used

    Congee in pot is supply in dinner time?

    Yes

    How many outdoor dining tables?

    none and parking is still a pain in that area

    Any association with the Hing Lung that use to be in SF Chinatown?

    Mr Kong, the old Sf China town Hing Lung owner, still works at this restaurant everyday. If you don't believe it, just say hi to him and his wife Mrs Kong.

All of the food was what you expected from a typical chinese dim sum restaurant and we were very pleased. The biggest takeaway is from a short interaction I had with the hostesses (the women wearing the black jackets at the front of the restaurant). When one of the waitresses accidently knocked over the soy sauce on the table and onto the my pants, she was very apologetic. I understand as we are all human and mistakes happen. The manager came by and provided us napkins/wet tissues as well as being apologetic. I was able to go to the bathroom and wash/dry off the stain in 5 minutes. It was not a big deal at all to me and I went back to our table. When the hostess came by and said she was sorry, she also mentioned to sit on the inside of the table next time. I didn't want to counter as my mother was present as well as all the other staff were very cordial. However, when you make a statement like that and to imply that I had anything to do with the sauce getting on my clothes, it just takes turns all of these apologies into a hollow statement. Even though it was a bad interaction from one individual, it left a very sour impression on myself and I would rather go to other restaurants than repeatly go here again.

Servers come around enough, but not too hard to flag one down. This place is small but really good for groups. This is a solid dim sum spot. They have the classics like har gow and siu mai, egg custard and sesame balls. I usually order the egg custard right away because they seem to always sell out. Their hot sauce is delicious.

On my last visit, there was a Specials list printed on a long piece of receipt paper. Favorite dishes so far: * Pan Fried Yellow Chive Dumpling * Five Spice Taro Root Cake with Chinese Sausage * Yellow Bean Pudding The steamed shrimp dumpling offerings are solid. The rice flour wrapper might break on you. My usual go-to dim sum dishes of Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf, Beancurd Skin Rolls, and Beef Tripe with Ginger & Scallion weren't as savory as I'd like. I enjoyed the special menu item of Stewed Beef Brisket in Savory Broth with Turnip. Not as good as Fat Wong's, which I miss terribly, but better than B & W. Good hot tea selection, including green, oolong, jasmine, and chrysanthemum. Service is efficient and especially kind if you can communicate to the servers in Chinese. If you want dessert served hot, just order it after your main meal. Restaurant is clearly popular and authentic to the local Chinese community. You can bring in your fish, vegetables, or meat to have the restaurant cook it for you! Saturday dim sum at 11 am opening time was busy, requiring us to stand and wait. Not much of a waiting area, lacking chairs. Several people were ordering to go. Friday late lunch around 12:30 pm was a good time to go. The parking lot can be a bit of a nightmare to navigate. Tight corners, narrow driving lanes, bumpy pavement, not clearly marked or narrow parking slots with all Asian drivers. It feels one way and full at times. You enter the T-shaped restaurant through a hallway, where the cashier is. It opens up to one large main dining room to your left and a likely banquet room room/medium sized dining room to your right. Lots of large round tables with Lazy Susans. When the restaurant is full, it can feel claustrophobic. Carpeted floors. Not a dive. Not the most beautiful place for a wedding banquet, but a great place to eat. I look forward to trying more dishes and reordering my favorites.

I don't eat porridge often, usually when really under the weather so I'm fortunate to not gone to get some in a while. I called my pickup order since I didn't see an online option. The store front is Ichi Ramen so it's confusing in case you get lost in the busy plaza. I ordered shrimp, fish and plain porridge (congee) along with beef chow fun. 4 dishes total. Total came out to under $60 and it was a heavy bag! The porridge has a nice thick consistency without being runny. It had flavor to not need seasoning and surprisingly large portions of seafood. The chow fun was decent but I've definitely tasted better. Kinda pricy at $18 though the beef slices were big. I appreciated it wasn't as oily as other chow fun I've had so easy to eat without feeling kinda gross after. Solid value, good food, and worth a rec for porridge. All in all, I'd definitely return. 4.5 stars.

    I like this place for congee and Chinese comfort food…read more This place stands out for congee because they serve it ripping hot (literally boiling in front of you on the table) in a clay pot. For some proteins, it is advisable to get an extra bowl to remove the protein as it will overcook in the crazy hot congee. The sliced beef congee comes out perfect so they must either add it to the hot congee rare or even raw so it ends up cooking perfectly. The friend Chinese donut was crispy and airy, slightly oily so fryer oil may have needed to be hotter and fry cook need to slow down and let oil temp recover. Place does get busy quick and may need to wait for a table though.

Initially when I first drove in I thought there was no more parking but if you keep driving in you will see the parking lot is huge and so was the restaurant. Ordering is by marking on the menu. No carts here. They have 7 dish sizes: S - $5.75, M - $7.05, L - $8.05, X - $9.05, DX - $10.05, TX - $11.05 and Q - $13.75. After placing our dim sum order it took only 15 minutes for some of our dishes to come out. Despite being busy, I thought the service was pretty fast. We ordered 11 dim sum dishes plus a noodle dish and after tax and tip it came out to about $33/person and we were full. This was a good amount of food.

Most of the plates we ordered were tasty including the soy sauce thin noodle chow mein, egg custard, braised chicken feet and steamed gai lan. I didn't care for the egg rolls and pan fried turnip cake, as they didn't taste right and the egg rolls were bland. The green onion pancake was flat, soft and not crispy, disappointing. Frozen ones at Asian markets taste better fried at home. We needed a high chair and were told none were available. They had some high chairs upstairs but they didn't appear to be clean. We finally commandeered one after a party left, with no assistance from the wait staff.

With a recent boom in HK street food especially cha chaan teng (tea and meal eateries), I suggested meeting several friends for an early dinner here. This place has been here a while, before the ongoing trend emerged. I arranged a meetup with a peninsula friend to meet there for an early midweek dinner before 6 pm. They have a private parking lot so that was not an issue. Walking in, we noticed the order station and menu on the left (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=VXnwmT7l57Wujd4yMeyvlQ) and a cooking area to the right (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=h5fu-B6JPAxM-VFU_pDTYw). As we studied the menu, the discussion among us three was that we wanted to eat multiple menu items. After a few minutes, we ordered our meals one by one, adding two appetizers to share. After my friend first paid for our meal, he chose a table in the middle dining area. I noticed a water station near the cashier and brought three plastic cups for my friends and me. With this being a somewhat cafeteria style format, a gal brought our food a short time later. Here's what I tried: Appetizers, shared 1. Popcorn chicken (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=W18wgtSMHw0g-EqytrQpDA) - Very solid version as this came temperature hot. It was spot on crispy and the white pepper seasoning very true to the recipe. Nice that they provided skewer sticks and we ate barely half if this with the generous portion. 2. XO sauce mini rice noodles (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=uLIWGlflOZKINVlxMoS7PA) - For a mini, I was surprised with the food amount. Unlike dim sum house versions, the ingredients are not stir-fried and merely mixed with the sauce mostly on top with a soy sauce oil mix lining the bottom. It was tasty and a good-sized serving. Main 3. Beef stew wonton noodle soup (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=F8_RGDn1cEfD1emWUdaWvA) - I forget whether there were four or five relatively large wonton dumplings with the thinner chewy egg noodles here. The beef stew pieces were tender and seasoned well making for a tasty bowl. The bowl size that I thought was smaller actually held a good amount of food where I just had enough stomach space to finish it. There were plenty of white turnip pieces (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=-HvCGJqyvrNOKF7cgacOog). This is a hearty meal. When we arrived, there were only two tables of diners (couples) as we found our table. By the time we left, there were families and couples there and the dining room was about half full. There was a steady flow of takeout orders being picked up too. A family of three sat at a mah jong table (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=xGkgRuG-bFIBlDaHkUyszA) but merely to play with the tiles. With the recent gained popularity in mah jong events and the like, the theme here was ahead of its time. I will probably return with friends to try other menu items and perhaps save room for a drink or dessert too.

    It's cute enough and looks like it could be lovely at night with nostalgic HK hits and mahjong…read moretables + beers. Food was decent. We got what was pictured. Mine was the sampan jook (porridge) which was $18. Consistency was right but it didn't have any seafood so wasn't a true sampan porridge at all. Sampan is literally the flat wooden boat that fisherman would take out in the HK pier, and the jook would be made with whatever they catch, typically shrimp, squid and so forth. Here, there were pieces of char siu and some pig skin. Tasty but not sampan and not worth the marked up price. My husband said his char siu was good, but roast pork not edible. Boba was not bad at all.

We ordered Korean chicken wings - the sauce was extra starchy and thick. Flavor was lackluster. The wing itself was fine, good size. Peking pork chop - oh man this...was so disappointing. It tasted soo strongly of a vinegar tart flavor and again very starchy thick sauce. Both items were sooo off in flavor. I ate to eat, but bleh sadly they were both not good. Maybe we'll try the favorites next time but I'm staying away for now.

The server was helpful, talking about all our allergy concerns, but in the end, my friend with a seafood allergy. They let us know there is just a little bit of oyster sauce, which is not too bad for my friend. But they still felt a little bit of tingling so we suspect there was more oyster sauce in the food than they let on. The restaurant was pretty empty, but it sometimes still took a little longer to get the server's attention, maybe because there are a lot of takeout orders. The restaurant is pretty nice inside and has plenty of seating, but there were a few tables with random stuff piled on them so maybe they were reorganizing or something

Service was prompt and there was no wait. Theres parallel parking in front but its usually filled. Theres a lot behind the store and parking in the next street.

But I'm not upset at all about this impromptu decision as we had a great meal here. Our table of 6 ordered a variety of dishes and everything was delicious. the most notable items for me were the spicy wontons and fish in chili oil. The dishes were spicy but not so much so that you couldn't enjoy the actual flavors of the dish. For those that like the Szechuan tingling feeling, the chicken in explosive chilis was also quite good. We had also given the string beans, green onion pancake, and pork and shrimp dumplings a shot and all of them hit the spot. I'm usually a huge fan of braised beef noodle soup so decided to get that here too. It wasn't the same as if I had gotten this dish at a Taiwanese restaurant; compared to the strong flavors of the other dishes, this one was pretty mild. So it's something I would skip next time I come, but every other dish was on point. Our waitress was also great at taking care of us, bring out our food quickly and helping us to clear the other plates. Even after we finished our meal and overstayed our welcome by continuing to chat, the staff didn't make us feel rushed to leave.

We walked into a spacious dining room with views overlooking the bay, creating a more special atmosphere than a typical dim sum restaurant. The location near the airport also added a unique touch, with views of planes taking off and landing while we ate, a detail that made the meal feel distinct from the usual dim sum experience. The room feels open and comfortable, the kind of place suited for family meals, celebrations, or a longer weekend dim sum gathering. The dim sum menu covers many of the classics, with carts bringing out dishes throughout the dining room and making the experience feel traditional and lively. We tried the har gow, shu mai, BBQ pork buns, and turnip cakes, all of which were solid staples that made the restaurant a good choice for a full dim sum spread. The har gow had a thin, translucent wrapper and a generous shrimp filling, and the shu mai were well seasoned and held together nicely. The seafood-focused dishes also fit naturally with the restaurant's identity, with fresh ingredients and larger banquet-style dishes available beyond the usual dim sum selections. The dinner menu added another reason to visit, especially for larger groups. The Peking duck was a standout, with crispy skin, tender meat, and the classic combination of steamed buns, hoisin sauce, and fresh accompaniments that made each bite feel balanced. Seafood dishes like crab with ginger and scallions highlighted the restaurant's focus on Cantonese flavors, with the ginger providing a clean contrast to the sweet crab meat. Fried rice and wok-fried dishes provided satisfying options to round out the meal, each one arriving hot and well seasoned. Desserts were also worth saving room for. The sesame balls had a crisp exterior with a chewy texture and warm black sesame filling, while the Portuguese egg tarts finished the meal with a flaky pastry and smooth custard center. We appreciated these small details, as they helped make the meal feel complete rather than just focused on the main dishes. Service was generally attentive and the large dining room made it easier to accommodate groups compared to smaller dim sum spots. The staff handled the steady flow of diners efficiently, and the food came out at a good pace even when the restaurant was busy. Prices can vary depending on seafood selections, but the combination of food, space, and waterfront views makes Grand Harbor a good option when you want a more relaxed Cantonese dining experience. It is especially worth considering for dim sum when you want both the traditional atmosphere and a scenic setting.
