food was pretty good, beef chow mein was the best thing while the orange chicken was the most okay. service was mid, not too many check ins with us, waitress wanted more than a 10 dollar tip which ruined this experience. ambiance was honestly sorta depressing with that fish tank full of dead or dying fish, not to mention it stunk up the place. would order online and avoid the sea food read more

Peking Duck was extra fatty and very boney. Very disappointing. The pancakes were good, but this was not traditional Peking Duck. Skin should be crispy read more

Second visit after I realized that they were taken over by someone else. I brought my senior friend in for a birthday lunch. Made sure there was no shrimp as she is allergic. Had to ask for a manager, no one speaks English. (Which were used to these days when we go out. That's not a problem.) Someone different brought each entrée. We were waiting a few minutes to get our check and get packed up to go. I asked for some help and the waitress did not send anyone or help us for that matter. I had to get up and get my own boxes twice, get my own bags to pack it to go. And then of course, walked myself up to get my own check. Paid the check and then went to the restroom. As my friend and I are in actually using the restroom, a waitress walked in. I have no idea what she was saying the first five words and then I heard 'no tip'. I of course I explained that no one helped us do anything while we were having lunch. I've been coming here for 40 years and that has never happened to me before. I also told her I did not leave a tip on purpose because no one did anything! I'm not sure if she understood me. Hence, the Post. Usually when people do not communicate or speak English, they're a little bit nicer. Will not be coming back. Eating out is a luxury. Some restaurants forget that.

Rating for here is more like a 3.5 to be accurate. This is only for the experience eating here for dinner as I haven't tried this Cheung Hing for dim sum yet. It is odd that there are two Cheung Hings so close to each other as there is another in San Mateo, but this specific location specializes in seafood and dim sum. Service is outstanding, but the food was hit or miss. We ordered Soy Sauce Prawns, Peking Spareribs, String Beans & Eggplant with Garlic, Yang Zhou fried rice, Custard Layered Cake, and their soup of the day which was a type of chicken and fungus soup. I will say that the Peking Sparerib was my least favorite item and it looked nothing like the pictures on the menu. I felt like I got catfished. Regardless, the flavor was overwhelmingly sweet like it was a dessert and there were no garnishes like the menu pictures showed while having a completely different color. It was tender at least, but the lack of savory flavors and sweetness was disappointing. Everything else tasted solid though and I enjoyed the eggplant with green beans and garlic the most. It complimented the Yang Zhou fried rice very well. Soy sauce prawns were good. I'm just too lazy to peel the shells. Custard layered cake was insanely sweet and wouldn't get again personally. Our server was nice and gave complimentary almond jelly which tasted refreshing and I enjoyed. Overall I think this Cheung Hing wasn't my favorite experience dinner wise, but I might have a better experience with their dim sum. The service is great and the restaurant is fairly clean inside with tons of space so it is worth giving this place another try in the future. read more

Ordered a whole roast duck togo and we took it home, doesn't look like a full order... our mistake for not checking when we were there. I heard about their SF store getting busted for this kind of stuff before but it never happend to us before at the Millbrae location. Probably wouldn't go back again. Remember to check your togo orders! Update on my first review. The leg thigh part was missing from my order, which they covered it up with these fat parts that can't be eaten. All I got in this togo order was fat and bones read more

Came here on a Sunday for late lunch, I called ahead to check if there's dim sum wasn't sure if they stop serving at a certain time. Friendly staff picked up said they still have dim sum. Parked in the back in their parking lot. Got seated right away by nice staff. Ordered Stuffed eggplant Steamed bbq pork bun Chive scallop rice roll Bbq pork rice roll Egg tart Xiao long bao Chive shrimp dumpling Shrimp spinach dumpling We marked our foods what we wanted on the menu with the pen. They gave us jasmine tea. Food came out fast, the workers who brought them out were friendly and said that we missed the lunch rush. All the dim sum came out pretty fast, hot and fresh. My favs would be the stuffed eggplant and the shrimp with chive dumplings. Their rice rolls/xiao long bao wrapper is a bit thicker than what my preference is. read more

Bland. We ordered 1. Wonton Soup, 2. Salt and Pepper Prawn, 3. Salt and Pepper Squid, 4. Bitter melon beef, 5. Orange Chicken, 6. Garlic Eggplant, 7. Malaysian-style Chowfun This was for take-out, on a Sunday, at 5:25PM 1. Wonton Soup: This was the absolute WORST wonton soup I have ever had in my life. Clearly, whoever was cooking added water to make the soup broth go further. The only time I've had watery soup was when I was cooking for myself on a college student budget. The wontons themselves were okay. The bokchoy wasn't even cut I had to separate the leaves with scissors at home. Which is fine, but really? It just shows there was no care put into preparing the food. 2. Salt and Pepper Prawn: Um. Bland? It was just so disappointing because I just had salt and pepper prawn at a different Chinese place last week that was DELICIOUS. If I added salt it was passable. 3. Salt and Pepper Squid: This dish is obviously deep fried so I kept munching on it. Yes, it was bland, but sometimes I got lucky and had a flavorful piece. I liked that there was some spicy pepper so I was more OK with the dish being bland. We ordered take-out and they did cut a ventilation hole in the take-out box so it was sort of crunchy, but not the best. I don't like the batter mix as much as other places, because sometimes I would get a bite full of mushy stuff. 4. Bitter melon beef: Alright. I ordered this just to antagonize my husband. But this ended up being the best dish of the night. The bitter melon soaked up the flavors of the dish, and this time it wasn't bland. 5. Orange Chicken: Panda Express makes better orange chicken. At least I could taste the orange in this dish. However, the chicken pieces were soggy and it made for an unpleasant texture experience. There was more flavor in this dish compared to the eggplant and chowfun, but again, the sauce was super watery. Maybe if I didn't have the wonton soup I would have said, "Maybe it's supposed to be like this". 6. Garlic Eggplant: It was O.K. It was bland too. The garlic flavor was minimal. So disappointing. They should just call this Onion Eggplant. 7. Malaysian-style Chofun: I LOVE the wide flat noodles. I was hoping this was going to be amazing. It wasn't. Very tumericy and bland. Again. In summary: I'm convinced the kitchen is functioning on a low budget at the moment. And if that's what they want to do, fine. But I ain't coming back. If I add salt to my food, it is passable. The flavors however aren't amazing. The food is edible and the portion size is good. If you're on a budget or maybe you have hypertension and you need a low-sodium diet, then this might be the place for you! The food is oily though - so maybe not the healthiest option. I'm giving this place 3 stars, which is what I would rate an average Panda Express. EDIT: I just saw someone else's wonton soup from last month. The broth was darker, there were carrots, and mushrooms. We got gypped. DO NOT ORDER TAKE OUT FROM HERE! read more

After a week of its soft opening, decided to give it a try today. It's clear that the crew is still figuring out the process. Dum sum is freshly made and come up piping hot. (if it ever comes out :) ) Food: (4/5) Dim sum options are the basics. The scallion & chives dumpling is surprisingly good given the transparent type of wrapper is known to be hard to manage. Roasted duck is as good as the other Cheung Hing's location. Service: (3/5) Hit or miss; one tends to get disoriented at time and the rest are trying hard to work out the process in peak hours. It's clear our order was missed as others who arrived after are getting theirs. The disoriented staff kept avoiding the request to check the order and ultimately found another one to help out. During the whole stay, one party got up and left after seated with tea on table/before ordering, not sure the reason but won't be surprised it's due to the chaos. Place: (3/5) Interior decor: can't recall how it's like back to China Village days as I stopped going there for awhile. It's nothing fancy. Belmont/San Mateo area don't have much option for cantonese dim sum after ABC seafood/champagne/china village were closed(Consider Palette tea garden is more a fusion restaurant in different category) Hopefully the new team in this place smooths out the routine soon. read more

I had dim sum lunch here few weeks ago from the recommendation of my realtor. Belmont is not in my neck of the woods, so I took her suggestion and was not disappointed. It's not a fancy restaurant, but also not a hole in the wall. The main dining area is fairly spacious, very bright with lots of seating area and comfortable. The dishes offered are traditional dim sum we all love. All we ordered and ate were delicious and flavorful! I should have taken pictures, but slipped my mind since I was talking and eating. Service was prompt and courteous. I would return here again when visiting the area and wanting dim sum! read more

Having loved the other Cheung Hings in the Bay, I decided to give this one a try since I was in the area. The entrance kind of reminded me of some episodes of Kitchen Nightmares where it just didn't look like the entrance to a restaurant as it was dirty and felt like it was used partly as storage. No worries I thought, that's how some Chinese restaurants are. Well, in true tradition, I was more or less ignored for a couple minutes as I was getting takeout. The food then took forever to come out, or so I thought. Apparently it was done and the employees just sort of left it on a table, so by the time I got the food and brought it home, it was lukewarm. Sad. The food itself was great though. Yum. 4 stars for food, unfortunately 1 for everything else. read more

Cheung Hing - Scrambled egg with beef - Dim Sum Near Me - Belmont, California

Ordered before food was great. This time food was so bad and tasteless. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Moving on.

Wanting to find a new dim sum spot to celebrate our annual Thanksgiving. Like many, I'm not a turkey fan and the thought of having to prepare a giant bird for dinner sounds terrible. But, who doesn't love dumplings! This restaurant came highly recommended by friends and it's close to home. We decided to give it a try on one of their busiest times of year and I'm glad we did. Food was piping hot, fresh and delicious! Service was fast, friendly and straightforward. I want to go back already! read more

As soon as I walked in, I saw a waiter hastily setting down an order of steamed dumpling, claiming that a customer had complained about the dim sum smelling bad. I hesitated for a moment but decided to stay, only to realize it was a mistake. Putting aside the poor quality of the dim sum, the restaurant couldn't even manage the most basic fundamentals--properly steaming, frying, or heating the dim sum. Items like siu mai, beef balls, cheong fun, fried bean curd rolls, spring rolls, Portuguese tarts, and more, all came out lukewarm, far from being hot enough. Even if the dim sum were piping hot, it couldn't save the fact that the quality was subpar. However, the dismissive attitude of the waitstaff, the handling of food by the kitchen staff, the restaurant's lack of commitment and respect for their own offerings, are what proved to be fatal flaws for Cheung Hing. Such standards would have already led to closure in regions like China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau, and it remains to be seen how long they can survive in the Bay Area. read more

Dim sum is now sooo much better after the change in ownership, wow. This South Bay girl living in the Peninsula is finally happy and doesn't have to drive to Milpitas/Cupertino anymore for decent dim sum. We arrived before 11am on a Saturday and were easily seated with a really clean high chair for our little one. Dim sum were all so fresh and tasty. read more

Went there for the first time with three friends on a week night. We had a great time. We ordered a set dinner that came with a soup, a lobster and four other dishes. Based on the price I thought the portion would be on the smaller side. So glad that I was wrong. The portions were so generous that all of us got a couple of boxes for to-go! We even had choices for our desserts. The food was delicious and authentic. The service was attentive. read more

Alright, my family and I ordered a bunch of dishes so I'm just going go down the list. Black Mushroom Sumai - 5/5, excellent and I loved every bite Bean Curd Skin Roll - 4/5, not my favorite but it was tasty Deep Fried Meat Dumpling - 4/5, really good Steamed Turnip Cake - 3/5, looked nothing like the picture and it came in a regular bowl. The taste was pretty good though. Beef Stew Rice Noodle Roll in Clay Pot - 3/5, meat was really soft but the sauce was very watery. Shredded Pork Pan-Fried Crispy Noodle - 2/5, the noodles lacked flavor and the dish wasn't hot. Sauce was also watery. Steam Egg Custard Bun - 2/5, taste was there but it took nearly 40 minutes to arrive. Donut with Rice Noodle Roll - 1/5 taste was good but this was wayyyyy overpriced. This item came out to roughly $2 per piece. Usually comes with soy sauce too, but they forgot it. I don't think my family and I will return :( read more

Food was excellent, went there many times, it issue is the service, they asked me to tip more, went there as an 5 ate about 120 dollars of food, wanted to take some togo to my family, ordered another 100 dollars of food, we gave them 24 dollars of tips for the food and service they done with us. But they came back and asked this is not enough, I didn't want to argue with them, so we gave them another 10 dollars and said that is all we have is that enough? Server said nothing and left. This is super disappointing as we been there dozens times, we love the food but that experience I do not want to go there anymore. read more

i have been missing good cantonese food and this place filled that spot perfectly. food was all great quality. the raw geoduck and sticky rice was phenomenal! read more

Rating I'd give is 3.5 stars, so I'm rounding it up to 4 stars as it's authentic Cantonese food. Food variety is very good and tasty especially for dim sum. Also solid Cantonese food options for dinner and lunch, but no real ambience. Feels crowded in seating arrangements. Service is ok, but had to ask for various things like soy, more napkins, extra serving forks and spoons, more hot water in the teapot. On the plus side, food was brought out while still hot. Parking lot in the back is convenient. read more

Pretty good dim sum, great staff. Glad this spot reopened with some Chinese eats. I wouldn't say it's anything spectacular but it hits the dim sum spot. I ordered take out once and they never even put in my order. You could say we were very disappointed and had a hungry baby in the car. Ambiance is ok, the place is pretty clean and spacious. Why hing gotta sting me? read more

Wow...Just be aware of the service!!! Ordered dim sum to eat. Food was pretty good, I liked the wrapping of the dumplings and the meatballs tasted good. Was going to give them more stars but that service was just not reasonable. We ordered two dishes first then added three more dishes about fifteen minutes after. The first two dishes took almost 45 minutes to arrive, and the last dish they forgot or something and took over an hour to arrive. When we went to pay we paid cash and you can get a 10% discount if paid with cash, but they claimed that discount is only if you let them know?! Then they claimed we did not pay tips or pay enough tips and demanded it or we couldn't leave....When were tips mandatory especially if we waited over an hour for one dish and there were only five tables in the whole restaurant....!?! read more

Their pork and shrimp Shu Mai is one of the best I've had in the Bay Area! I also enjoyed their sticky rice with Chinese sausage and their shrimp balls - though it didn't come with the honeyed mayonnaise as usual, just the sweet and sour sauce. I wan't so excited about their crispy pork belly. You can get better at HL Peninsula. I also really enjoyed their steamed sesame balls. My friend had chicken feet and beef balls and she said they were delicious. The new owner is a young-ish man who is very friendly and welcoming. The staff is very nice. read more

If you want authentic and delicious dim sum and the stereotypical tough love service, this is the place

I have been to many many Chinese restaurants and I understand the service is usually bad, but this place takes the cake. The guy that's either the GM/owner is very very very rude. I guess that's who everyone else learns from. Won't go into details but he should treat paying customers better. As for the food, the place that used to be here was way better. Food isn't bad, it's decent but not the best. read more

They have a unique location advantage, there is no dim sum between Palo Alto and San Mateo but here. We were lucky there was no wait. Fry rice and noodle plate price are a few dollars less than some of the more well known establishments up and down the peninsula. Dim sum here are average, shrimp dumpling wrap is on thick side and still fall apart like everywhere else. Oven bake char siu bao came out somewhat char, chicken feet was fine, fry shrimp roll failed, you can taste some gooyi texture inside, may be under cook. Got room for improvement but they will probably do just fine. read more

Service - 2.5 stars We came at 1:45pm on a Sunday trying to miss the lunch crowd - which we did, yet we had to wait for 10min before anyone acknowledged us - and it was only bcos I flagged someone down even though they acknowledged other people that got there after us and we were standing right in front of the host area. Then we still waited another 5min to be seated. There was the female GM who was clearly trying her best and was polite and nice to us but everyone else was too busy apparently helping everyone else even though they were winding down. But for her, 1- 1.5 star. Btw, other people we're waiting before us and weren't aggressive in following up. as such, the hostess give the table away to someone else who just happened to show up and literally grab the hostess. This your typical HKG style dim sum- ie you have stand in front of the hostess to get your table. Flag people down, etc. Not my idea of a relaxing, enjoyable lunch - esp. if the food is 2 stars. (I would be willing to put up with the terrible service if the place was clean and the food was 4-5 stars) Once the order was placed, food came quickly. Table cleared as well. Food 2 stars clearly the food (dim sum) was sitting- and wasn't fresh- Ive had way better. See other 1-2 star reviews that highlight the food and that pretty much sums it up. Cleanliness - 1 star Someone else (N W.) mentioned how dirty the place is...and I completely agree. I can handle old. I can handle meh food and typical no-service type service. But not dirty. Dirty carpets. Super dirty mens bathroom. Some putrid old smelly food/waste near the hostess area. Makes you wonder about the food. Ambience 2.5 stars - Plastic sheets covered everything. - semi- remodeled. Nothing fancy Overall 1 star for it being a super dirty place. Service and food were 2 stars and meh. I won't be returning. read more

Visited couple times. Food was good, services also ok. Overall comments is good value for money,

This is my first time here trying this restaurant. They have a sister restaurant near my place at SSF on Grand Ave. Came on a Monday night at 7pm. The place was not packed so we didn't had to wait. We had 14 adults and 2 kids so we took the largest table near the back. Once you get seated servers will offer you a dish of fried peanuts and pickled veggies. This place offer dim sum during dinner time so you can order dim sum for dinner too. Food came out quickly and the portion was good size for the buck. Everything was very yummy! Everyone else said the lamb stew and the bittermelon eggwhite beef was very tasty and wanted to order seconds but we ordered so much we didn't order it. Staff was friendly and attentive. They will come check on us if we needed more tea or napkins. Will definitely come back to try other dishes. I was told their roast duck was good but they sold out so will definitely come back to order that. They have a parking lot so parking is not an issue. read more

Extremely inconsistent in quality control, sometimes it can be decent, but certain chefs bring out the lowest of the low

Go here if you don't care about (any) customer service. Oh and go here if you love to sit amongst bus carts overloaded with dirty dishes being repeatedly dropped in loudly...which sit aside the trash cans on the dining floor, stashed between the guest tables and the grossly overcrowded and unappetizing fish tanks...If you are able to get past all that, then do try and enjoy your bland, tasteless and overly-greasy meal as you are stared at by ALL the poor folks impatiently standing in the middle of the dining room waiting for a table. Ugh! New ownership and new paint doesn't help this place. If you have some similar standards when eating out and spending your money for a decent experience, I suggest enjoying a meal at one of the many WAAAAAAY better Dim Sum Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area. read more
