    Shiumai - skip, the filling was bland
    Tiffany T.

    Good service! We ordered the spicy wontons in chili oil, honey walnut shrimp, beef chow mein, har gow (shrimp dumplings), shiumai, and shanghai soup dumplings. The total was about $113 for our table to feed 2 people. Skip the spicy wontons in chili oil, it was in soup form but the soup was bland and the wonton filling needed more salt. It WAS spicy though so watch for the kick. Honey walnut shrimp was crispy, and not overly sweet. We really enjoyed it and would highly recommend. Beef chow mein was really good, meat was tender and the noodles were flavorful. Hargow was also really good, chewy exterior and filling tasted delicious. Skip the shiumai, it was a let down because the filling was pretty bland. I'd also skip on the shanghai soup dumplings because they were a bit overcooked and did not have any more soup in them by the time we ate them which was a bummer. Overall I'd revisit if I were in the area out of convenience but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here since there are a ton of dimsum spots in SF. Service was good, it's a casual spot to get a bite of dimsum until 9:30pm!

    Food was really good and service was awesome! Definitely recommend! The restaurant has family friendly ambiance. I recommend many tourists to visit!!

    the outside of a restaurant

    Was happy to find a Chinese restaurant across the street from the Parc 55 Ordered sweet and sour chicken and a side of white rice to go. Server was sweet and told me to sit down while waiting. Food came out quickly. They charge 75¢ for the to-go bag. It was a good portion size and tasted good.

    Great, easy-access location. Nice interior, but I ordered out. Woman taking my order was very friendly and helpful. Wonton soup was majestic...SO good! We also had chicken chow mein which was good, but nothing special. Broccoli beef was very flavorful and beef was extremely tender; surprisingly, this did not come with steamed rice. We had green onion pancakes that were savory and delicate - very good. The pork fried rice was good tasting, but had less barbecued pork in it than we had expected. All in all, very good and well priced.

    After a long day of traveling from the East coast, we wanted something simple and easy for dinner. King Kee was across the street from Parc 55 where we were staying and was the perfect stop. We arrived a little early for dinner and were one of two tables, but within 30 minutes the place was full. I love that they have all the models of the dishes out in the window and the staff were very nice throughout our dinner. We started with shanghai dumplings (aka XLB) and some hot tea. Then I had the pork chow main and got it spicy. It was the perfect comfort food after a long day and we both had a little left over for a late night snack. We planned on going again during our stay but ran out of time. I saw someone with the roast duck and it looked amazing... maybe next time.

    Beef Chow Fun ( Flat Rice Noodle )

    I've got food from this place many times but this time did dine in. This restaurant is mediocre. I would love to give them 4 stars if the food taste a little bit better. The restaurant location is pretty good. Close to union square. The menu here is typically Chinese food that you would find any other place. The restaurant seem pretty slow. The service was good , only one person there and the food was fast. I got beef chow fun that I requested spicy , it was not bad. The hot and sour soup was nice but the fried rice was just ok. It's another place that you could stop by if you wanted some Chinese in the area. But if you expect a better experience, I would recommend you to go to China town. There is a lot more good Chinese food there.

    wonton bug

    I door dashed from here and unfortunately had a bad experience. i had a literal bug in my food that was in my wonton soup :( this was so disappointing and i hope i can get some sort of refund :/

    4 Pieces Shrimp Dumpling

    Excellent tasting food - wonderful service - very affordable prices. I ordered two types of dumplings a special ordered their chow fun - "house style" which is not on the menu but just ask for it. The food was hot and fresh. The chow fun tasted amazing and was more than enough for 2 people to enjoy. The dumplings were out of this world. I ordered the shrimp dumplings and the traditional pork dumplings. The service is great. They were very attentive and very nice. The food came out quickly. I Galt recommend eating here.

    Quick stop for some Chinese food. Not too many tables occupied consider the hour and the day at the time I walked in, but a constant in and out of food delivery kids...good sign. I ordered a classic spicy kung pao chicken with white steamed rice. Good dish, fresh ingredients very kind service. Don't get scared by the plastic made sample dishes in the window.. nothing like what you'll get on the table.. lol

    Beef fried rice
    Kenneth K.

    As the place is not big, there was only one waiter serving and taking orders. Placed an order for Beef fried Rice. Rice is slightly hard, tastes too salty, and nicely oiled up. Beef is over cooked resulting in the hard and dry texture to come out. The egg is ripely cooked. Overall the dish came out quick and hot, but the ingredients need a bit more adjusting in order to enhance the order.

    We stopped by Z&Y Peking Duck for lunch on a Sunday and really enjoyed the experience. The…read morerestaurant has a polished, modern atmosphere, and I liked how the food was presented in a more elevated way while still keeping that familiar Chinese family-style dining experience of ordering several dishes to share around the table. We ordered quite a spread: Peking duck, pork belly, house fried rice, shrimp noodles, crab maw soup, lamb, two orders of siomai, hot tea, and a lychee mojito. The house fried rice and shrimp noodles were easily my favorites. The fried rice was flavorful and one of those dishes I kept going back to throughout the meal. The shrimp noodles were another standout and paired really well with everything else we ordered. Of course, we had to get the Peking duck. The presentation made it feel like the centerpiece of the table and really fit the restaurant's more modern approach. My mom especially enjoyed the lamb, and we also ordered two orders of siomai to share. The pork belly leaned more on the sweet side, which wasn't really for me, but my husband thought it was good. I think that one comes down to personal preference--if you enjoy a sweeter flavor with your pork belly, you'll probably appreciate it more than I did. The crab maw soup was just okay for me on its own. Stanley had made us a special sauce for the siomai, and I decided to add a little to my soup. Surprisingly, it made such a difference! It gave the soup the extra flavor I felt it needed. For drinks, we had hot tea and a lychee mojito. The hot tea was a nice pairing with all the food, while the lychee mojito was light and refreshing. Stanley, our server, was great throughout lunch. He was friendly, attentive, and very informative about the menu and the dishes we ordered. He took the time to answer our questions and explain things, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a great Sunday lunch at Z&Y Peking Duck. I enjoyed the modern, elevated presentation while still being able to order a table full of dishes to share. Not every dish was necessarily for my personal taste, but that's part of ordering family-style--everyone at the table had their own favorites. The house fried rice and shrimp noodles were definitely mine, while my mom especially enjoyed the lamb. I'd definitely come back and explore more of the menu next time.

    If you want to try some delicious Chinese dishes, come on down to Z & Y Restaurant in Chinatown…read more They offer lots of special dishes that aren't available in other places. The flavors are very good and the portion size is fair. Their prices are a bit on the high side. However, it's all about presentation and specialty. The staff are all super friendly and helpful. The restaurant is small and cozy. If you are seated by the wall, you'll feel cramped. I would come back for the glazed prawns and noodles. However, this place is known for their Peking duck. It was good, but I've tasted much better ducks at other restaurants that were less expensive.
