I was incredibly disappointed to see that without lowering the price of the duck ($88), the restaurant had removed the soup course, thus reducing the number of courses from 3 to 2 without a reflection in the price. The duck course, for which the soup is quite delicious, is no longer worth the price. The duck is delicious, but the portion is small, and even two duck courses with three additional entrees dishes were not enough to feed six people. I hope they return to including soup among the duck course.

Overall we enjoyed the dinner, but expected more crispy duck skin for a peking duck experience, and thought they would provide a little soup from the duck bones and now they charge extra for that which diminishes the full experience. The food was excellent, don't get me wrong, all the dishes were tasty and they give you plenty of wraps for the duck, duck was lean and very good, but it was still a tad disappointed. Service was very good, no complaints there. Probably would not return since it's out of our way, and other duck experiences that are more complete, it was good to try it though.

Some of the best Chinese food in the city! Save the time by avoiding tourist spots, and get a tremendous Chinese food experience without the wait here. Highly recommend the Peking Duck and Mongolian Beef!

You have to order the duck ahead of time, or make a duck reservation if you want to eat the tasty duck. We did not know this, and our server was very kind and found us the last duck that was available. It was so delightful- the crispy skin melted in our mouths and the whole experience was great! I would also recommend the green beans and the veggie dumplings, they were also delicious! The whole staff was very kind and we felt very welcomed into the space.

The service was a great interaction overall interactions with all the employees was a very positive experience but one of employee was somewhat a racist so started it off I booked on open table for the Peking ducks as it stated that no reservations no ducks we arrive somewhat 10-15min before our appointment get a table to seat where there's another table seated next to us a group of Chinese people who talk loudly and doesn't care about the other. The waitress walk up to us with some water and I started order some order I guess like side complimentary like pepper beef shrimp walnut and so on and she suggest we get a “ À La Carte” since there a good amount of people and ofc I said yes. And I started ordering a hot and sour soup for the table and again I said” for that can I have in a ÀLa Carte portion she was like what? I repeated the word she was I don't understand what you're saying loudly like...I know people have their up and down days but don't take it out on the Customer we were just trying to have a good meal . I then trying to talk/explain “ Oh like a sharable size for the table of 6” she then proceeded to “ I don't know what you want” I just give up and pointing out at the picture instead. I can clearly tell how we were treated compared to the table next to us and really hope this kind of thing won't happen again.

The salt and pepper fish was my favorite. We also got the sesame chicken, on the request of a 10 year old. It was sweet and good. The YH Chow mein was also great, and the veggie delight mix of veggies was also great. The best parts of the veggies was the sliced mushrooms, and the asparagus. The black buns with the salted egg custard were top notch as well. I enjoyed all of it. But seriously, the fish was perfectly fried, light and fluffy, the salt was on point, and the thinly sliced jalapenos were a perfect foil for the saltiness of the fried fish. If I went by myself, and could only get one thing, it would probably be the chow mein. But if I could get a lunch special, it would be the salt and pepper fish, some veggies, and some steamed rice. Done and dusted.

I’ve been ordering from this place for years… It’s always been a family staple. The quality of their chow fun is the greatest i’ve ever had, west or east coast. It’s a taste of hong kong.
The service is top notch, as they always accommodate my changes and requests without hassle.
Thank you for always preparing excellent quality, and efficient service. See you next week!
Great food. However my partner and I were disappointed by an aspect of the service. A particular employee had been very kind and welcoming to us and we sat by the bar and witnessed her get berated by another employee, seemingly a manager or supervisor of hers, to the point of crying while still preparing drinks. Even while she was crying this person continued to pester her and made her feel even worse. It was incredibly unprofessional and just really really mean spirited. I hope this review gets read by someone who has the power to reprimand her because that was completely inappropriate and no employee should have to put up with that kind of toxic behavior from a superior. Other than her our visit was very great.

This is the restaurant I want to gatekeep. Seriously, I pray it never gets too popular—I need to be able to get a table without a wait.
The food-Heavenly and the restaurant is squeaky clean and neat.
Pro tip: Skip the usual chow mein or chow fun. This is a jasmine rice + family-style mains kind of spot. Trust me, you'll thank me later. (For reference: 3 entrees for 3 people was a lot—we had enough for breakfast the next day. Zero regrets though.)
These dishes still live rent-free in my mind: -Mongolian Beef -Basil Eggplant -Pot Stickers -Fried Calamari -General Tso's Chicken -Eggplant with Spicy Garlic Sauce
If it’s your first time, order eggplant menu. You'll regret every day you spent not knowing it existed.

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.

Ordered Beijing duck. Really good taste. The fat part of duck really balance. Recommend it

Really great affordable Peking duck 3 course to feed 2-3 people for $88. Just have to call a few hours in advance to reserve it. I come at least once a month and it never disappoints
