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
They changed the wonton soup, no more chicken beef and shrimp. Bummer :( I unfortunately won't come here much anymore. The menu description was accurate though, I just didn't think I needed to re-read it since I've ordered it so many times. Same price.
Me and my sister were looking for some Chinese food and decided to go here, a 21 min walk away. We were disappointed when the crab ragune and sweet and sour soup came. It was below average. We didn’t even finish it. The General Tsuo Chicken was good as well as the Chow Fun. But nothing worth the price. Our conclusion is, the price doesn’t own up to the over all taste and service. It took them forever to bring the check. Would not go out of my way to go here.
Great service

Very good food , fresh ingredients
Food was delicious, but they need to keep their hours up to date. Says they’re open from 11:30am so went at noon on a Friday, but it was closed. The sign outside their door also said open at 11:30am. We were counting on them for a family potluck so it was especially disappointing. Couldn’t even leave a voicemail cause it was full.
We got the chicken wings, cucumber salad, xiaolongbao, black pepper chicken, mala noodles, and spicy mushrooms. Would recommend any of them
I came here with a couple friends after a close friend of mine recommend it. Immediately we were greeted and led to a super nice corner table which gave us a wonderful view of the rest of the restaurant. Our server was incredibly sweet and every recommendation she had for us was a 10/10. Their friend rice is easily my favorite due to how light and non-oily it was. Usually i find fried rice to be super oily but the fried rice here didn’t have that issue at all and easily earned its place as my favorite fried rice ever. Along with that the string beans became an easy favorite with the flavoring and perfect texture. Also the bao buns for dessert were a perfect way to end the meal! they were so light and perfectly sweet but not too sweet!!!
Great food & welcoming atmosphere
