This place was horrible wonton so simple just soup with wontons, chow mein was so salty and thin. Service was so bad and they even asked for tip so shameless. NEVER GO HERE!!!

No frills Chinese restaurant located in the heart of downtown. The menu is fairly extensive for the size of the restaurant, so there are plenty of options for everyone.Service tends to get a little backed up, depending on how busy the restaurant is and also the amount of takeout orders they have. Came here on a weeknight, and almost every single table was full. They also had a ton of takeout orders.I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. I love their tofu dishes, and I would highly recommend the chicken wings.Parking is either street parking, or there are public lots around as well.

My family ordered take outs to celebrate Chinese New Year, and Hing Lung did not disappoint. Their clay pot rice with lap cheung was delicious with its sweet soy sauce and burned rice at the bottom. The mushroom dish with tofu and bok choy was flavorful as well as the freshly cut chicken. I also recommend trying their sweet and sour pork. It is crispy even with the drizzled sauce. I called in advance to place my order and with a total of 6 dishes, it took them less than 25 minutes even when they had a full house around 6pm. This is still my favorite cozy Chinese restaurant!

These guys are well known and have quite a few locations. They are also very expensive for Chinese food. The portions are small and the prices are high. They could never get our orders right. Come on you guys, chicken chow mein is not house chow mein. I can't say that they are the best Chinese food. Best is a big word.

Came here for lunch as we wanted something warm to eat as well as craving some Hong King style cafe food. Dining area was clean as well as the booth where we were sitting. Pictured are the fresh pork liver and meatball congee recommended by our server as we wanted some soup. For me, I'm a typical ABC and requested Hong Kong style beef chow fun. Portions are generous and shareable. Service was fast and we were out within an hour. Highly recommend this place if you are in SSF on Grand Ave.

Best place on the planet to order lung. They have the most delicious lungs from a variety of animals. You can get boiled lungs, fried lungs, even broiled lungs if that's your favorite. You can get piping hot lungs and also cold lungs. If it breathes it leads. Best of all, as you can tell by the name the lungs are obviously hung so that you can pick you favorite.Vegetarian options: I'm not aware of any vegetables that have lungs. Therefore I don't believe this would be a great place for vegetarians. Unless you can make this one exception to eat some delicious lungs.Dietary restrictions: If you are unable to eat or digest lungs then this may not be the best place for you because lungs is what they serve. If you are allergic to lungs, then you won't be able to eat here.Parking: Parking is where you put your car when you are going inside to a place like this to eat.Kid-friendliness: All the kids here were very friendly. I have no complaints about the friendliness of the kids that were present at this establishment.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs are accessible here by rental. They have a variety of wheelchairs to choose from making them very accessible.

My parents brought this over to me so this review is based on takeout. I've been here numerous times and absolutely love their liver congee, Chinese fried donut and house special pan fried noodles! The drive was maybe a half hour drive to me and the food was still pretty hot! Highly recommend these dishes!

Always liked Hing lung food . They were always known for their porridge and won ton soup back in the days when they were located in Chinatown. For authentic Chinese dishes, this is the place to go !

Just landed in San Francisco and wanted to find a place for a quick bite to eat for lunch. Hing lung Cafe was perfect not a long wait and got a seat. We ordered a couple of dishes and it was very tasty and fast. The place was a medium size restaurant with tables. The staff is pretty and the service was good. Would definitely come back here again next time.

Missed a good bowl of hot noodle soup so this hit! Good mix of lean and fatty pieces of roast pork and a ton of noodles. I changed it to mei fun and it was actually the thin vermicelli which was awesome since some places have the thicker noodles as mei fun. The broth did need a bit more flavor for me but it was still good

Love this place food and service is pretty consistent. Food: I always go for the porridge/congee in the pot. Stays hot the entire duration of the meal, taste is on point and definitely hits the spot when you're feeling slightly sick during the cold winter season. Their seafood noodle slightly bland but could be just a miss this time . Their tofu appetizer & eggplant is good but on the pricier side for what it is. Wonton noodles are all tasty. I recommend. Service has always been pretty fast. Parking is a hit or miss depending on timing but meter spots up front & only 1-2 spaces in the back. All and all this is a frequent spot as somewhat a regular.

There was a waitress wearing glasses who had a very, very bad attitude!

Hing Lung has a solid menu selection. The food is delicious -- I've never tried a dish here that I didn't like. Service is typical of a Chinese restaurant.

This is the best Cantonese I have ever had in my life! We are foodies in this household, so I don't give my recommendations unless it is truly outstanding. We had the Chicken Curry, Mongolian Beef, the Spicy Pork Green Beans, and Hot and Sour Soup. You should definitely give them a try.
