Hard to find authentic Cantonese bbq yet this restaurant features bbq and so many family favorites on their extensive menu. This restaurant definitely has a following since people were coming in to pick up food as well as an equal amount of people dining inside the restaurant. Every dish we ordered was plentiful and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant especially if your favorite Cantonese dish is hard to find. The roast duck was flavorful and tasty. We also ordered the clay pot dish featuring beef brisket. The wor wonton was chock full of treats although the won ton were each super salty. The seafood noodles were prepared perfectly. Seafood freshly wok prepared without overdoing the seafood. Noodles were pan fried to the perfect toasty flavor and texture. Look forward to trying more things at this restaurant! The restaurant is bright, open and airy. There are music videos playing on televisions as well as a welcoming feel to the restaurant. read more

Food: I've enjoyed Cheung Hing for years. Sadly, a few weeks ago, after buying calamari from the counter area, we became sick after eating it. Because of that experience, I won't be ordering the calamari again. Recently, I ordered my favorite roast duck and noticed a strange smell that seemed different from what I remembered. I'm not sure whether the recipe has changed or if there was an issue with that particular order. Because of these experiences, I'm hesitant to order from there again. Service: I don't have a problem with it Ambiance : need improvement read more

While the food is good, the service here is terrible even by Chinese restaurant "standards". The servers are very rude and impolite. Asked for a table for 3. She directed me to a table with 2 other diners next to it. When I asked for a table adjacent to the usual dining area, she directed me to a table for 6. This table is along the path for the takeout line for their know bbq. I refused because all the people waiting for bbq will be looking and breathing down on the diners. Asked for a quieter table, she yelled "all table in Chinese restaurants are noisy ". I walked into the adjacent area and pointed to a table (the section was completely empty). She said "Go sit down and wait". I have been to this location for over 25 years and the service has deteriorated over time. For same food, recommend its San Mateo or South San Francisco locations. The service here is worse than those "greasy spoons" in Chinatown. Service: 0 star. It is known for its bbq food and traditional Cantonese cuisine Food: 4 to 5 stars Hope the owners are reading the reviews. Competitors are fierce in Millbrae and some may not accept such bad service and rude attitude. read more

You know a place is legit when it only has around a 3-star rating. This spot reminded me so much of home with its authentic Canton-style roasted meats. Everything we ordered was delicious, from the ginger scallion chicken to the roasted pork, roasted duck, and cuttlefish. The flavors were comforting and traditional without trying too hard, and the portions were incredibly generous. The two-item BBQ combo could easily feed two people. This is the kind of no-frills spot where the food speaks for itself. read more

We stoped at Cheung Hing late afternoon for a quick bite to eat after we were at the Millbrae Lunar New Year festival. I had somewhat high expectations for this place. But I ended up being disappointed. Although the restaurant wasn't full, it took awhile for someone to seat us and to take our order. I can understand this since it's late afternoon and the staff is having their meal. At a glance, they do have an extensive menu and the prices are very reasonable. The plates are pretty generous too. The salt and pepper prawns were pretty good. It was flavorful and the amount given was decent. The seafood pan fried noodles came in a good portion. There was a decent amount of seafood. What was disappointing was the two BBQ item noodle soup. The bowl of noodles came out. The noodles were overdone and way too soft. They forgot to bring out the BBQ items: BBQ pork spareribs and roasted duck. At first glance, the amount was decent. But when we started eating, the pork spareribs were all mainly bone. And the roasted duck was mainly skin and bones. There was barely any meat. They looked like they were overdone. It looked like it was leftover meat that they reheated and served to us. It's very disappointing considering that they're known for the BBQ items, which is why we ordered it. But it was very underwhelming and disappointing. The restaurant is spacious but floors are sticky. The restaurant wasn't crowded but they sat us down at a dirty table that wasn't wiped down at all. Service was minimal. We had to ask for our food. In an area where there are a ton of Chinese food options, we won't be returning to this restaurant even if prices are decent. read more

I haven't had good roast duck in awhile so I planned on getting roast duck for my snack tonight. Two of the places I wanted to order from were closed for their day off, that left me with driving up to the far end of chinatown in San Francisco or a location more inline with a much longer drive. I decided on Cheung Hing but first I needed to confirm they still had ducks left, they often sell out of their roast ducks because they make a great roast duck. Luckily they did have some so I did a takeout from here. The duck was as good as they always were from this location, also it was a pretty nice snack! read more

I enjoyed the flavor of the roast duck plate, but the dish overall is a little on the greasier side which didn't sit too well with my stomach. The combination of duck grease and oil from fried rice will have you snoozing soon after. That being said, the price, portion size, and flavor are hard to beat nowadays (especially for duck). The restaurant is on the older side as some of the interior is dilapidated, but in a nostalgic in a way! Parking is available nearby, but I would count on it being taken, so do keep that in mind if you plan on visiting! Otherwise, the staff are great and very welcoming. I can see friends and families gathering here to share a meal, and I can see myself coming back to try other dishes. read more

Not quite as popular as The Kitchen down the street, but not quite as crowded either, it was popular enough that I decided to stop in for my comfort meal of won ton soup. I had the plain won ton soup, a chicken broth (I think) with a few full-size but tender bok choy. The won tons were hefty dumplings with a full shrimp each (sometimes with a bit of shell, yech) and a lot of ground pork, barely enclosed in a flimsy envelope. Rather heftier than the won tons I was expecting, but pretty good. Service a little flaky. They gave me a table, brought tea, and then left me alone for quite a while. When I eventually went to enquire why I hadn't even been brought a menu, they said they thought I'd already ordered. I could have sat there all evening if I hadn't asked. read more

Refused to sell a $2.50 bottle of water to my child because I used a credit card. I came here for lunch today with my mother and my young child. After finishing our meal, I paid the bill. A few minutes later my child needed some water, so I asked a staff member if I could get a cup of room-temperature water. She told me to get it myself from the tap near the cashier. When I looked at the area, the hygiene did not look very clean. Since the water was for my child, I asked if it was filtered. She said it was not. So I said I would just buy a bottle of water instead. She took a bottle from the refrigerator and handed it to me, then asked if I had cash. I told her I only had a credit card since I had already paid for the meal. She immediately took the bottle back and said she couldn't sell it to me because the bottle costs $2.50 and if I paid by card she would have to pay transaction fees. Her exact response was essentially: "Why should I sell it to you?" I honestly couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was not asking for free water. I was simply trying to buy a bottle of water for my child. Refusing to sell a $2.50 bottle of water to a paying customer -- because of a few cents in credit card fees -- is not just poor customer service, it shows a shocking lack of basic decency. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was upsetting enough that I feel other customers should know. read more

The "crispy" seafood noodles $14 were soggy. The chef messed up. I ordered it with less gravy. By the time I finished my wonton soup $12, all of the noodles were no longer crispy. The gravy was watery. It was an abomination to eat this. The wonton soup was a tiny bit better. It had shrimp in it but missing authentic Hong Kong flavors. It lacked sesame oil to give it some flavor. It had a weird sweet taste in the pork that overpowered the shrimp taste. They are not plump. Service was fine. The restaurant was mostly empty on a quiet Tuesday evening. Plenty of seats. I should have ordered the BBQ items instead. read more

I really enjoyed the crispy pan-fried noodles w/ char siew. They were accommodating to our take-out needs before a flight. Will come again.

I ordered a beef stew w/ wonton lo mein for lunch. The food was just lukewarm and within an hour I had multiple diarrheas that lasted for the remaining of the day. I also ordered a salt baked chicken as take out. Part of the chicken tasted like floral detergent which suggest the food container for the chickens may not have been thoroughly rinsed after cleaning. This is a horrible experience that I question the food hygiene and handling of the restaurant. read more

Cheung Hing does the job, kind of, if you're hungry and kind of craving some Chinese food and you want to dine-in. It's a very average dining experience here and there isn't a lot to say about their food. It's very average, if even that. We ordered a few dishes for our table, which included a Clay Pot dish, Shrimp with Walnuts, and the Beef with Bitter Melon. Everything was kind of mediocre, other than the Beef Bitter Melon, which actually tasted fresh with a good amount of flavor. Service was slow here, even when we were here during dinner hour. Was about half packed, but it was so difficult to get the host's attention and they kept forgetting what we ordered - had to ask twice about a single dish and kept telling us they'd check with the kitchen or something. Alright place, but only come here if you just want some average Chinese restaurant experience. And parking here can be tough as it's street parking, so you may have to look around for a spot. read more

This is a chain of 5 locations. Not bad tried few of their establishments. Foods are good and satisfy. Here is my scoring card for this restaurant: 1) Location: ( 5 Point ) - Great location for customer to see and find. Great parking for street parking and back side with parking lot parking. 2) Decoration : (2 Point) - They still have the original decoration. Clean. 3) Price: ( 4 point)- The price is competitive but still a little bit pricey compare to other same stars and type food they serve 4) Quality and Taste : ( 3 point)- The quality is ok, food taste is good and portions are below average . ( must be inflation ) 5) Type of cuisine standard : ( 4 point) - The style of Chinese food they serve is pretty close to the way it was prepare in China. Not bad!

Best BBQ duck we have ever had. When we are craving consistent, juicy, fresh duck this is our go to place. We drive all the way from Foster City and it is worth it. The duck is so tender and flavorful it hard to stop eating. I don't know what the secret is but it works every time. read more

Dine-In Food: Good. We got the beef stew with lettuce clay pot and beef chow mein as dine-in. Beef chow mein tastes authentic, like other Chinese restaurants. Good ratio of beef and noodles and bean sprouts. The beef stew was good but had a slight off taste on some pieces because of the lettuce. I don't like cooked lettuce taste in general and some of that flavor transferred to some of the meat. It would be better if they used cabbage instead, but I would get it again. It wasn't too fatty. Service: Good/Nice. Cost: Just these two items was little less than $30 before tax. NOTE: The tip suggestion on the bill is based on the TOTAL INCLUDING TAX, which isn't right. Take-Out Food: Really good the first day. Ordered 2.25 lbs of roast pork at $14.99/lb to go to have for dinner. That night the skin was still nice a crispy and the meat wasn't salty, but it did have fat. My spouse doesn't like that the fat is marbleized in with the meat. The pork that we got from SF Chinatown had almost no fat and the skin stayed crispy for days. The pork skin from here got soggy the next day. Flavor is still good. NOTE: If you order the take out food at the counter, you can't eat it in the restaurant. read more

The roast duck was delicious though duck is generally quite greasy. The blanched Chinese broccoli or "gai lan" with oyster sauce on the side was better as everyone can control the amount of sauce to use for each stalk of veggie. The egg white and shredded dry scallop fried rice was delicious and a single plate was enough for 3 of us. read more

Just okay! Pretty affordable but not clean! We were honestly so scared that we would have an upset stomach after our meal. When we came in, no staff member were to be seen so we were pretty confused. We just followed the people in front of us and sat down. We ordered half barbecue roast duck ($17.95), Salt Pepper Tofu ($8.95), Pan-fried String Bean ($12.95), Seafood Pan Fried Crispy Noodle ($13.95), and Wonton Soup ($11.95). The Wonton Soup was first served. The soup was pretty salty. It would've been nice if the bok choy was cut up smaller and even yet, washed better. I still saw some dirt hidden in the inner layers. After a couple bites in of the Wonton, we tasted something sour and realized that the wontons went bad. We notified the waitress and appreciated that they tried to make it right by taking it off our bill. The Salt and Pepper Tofu & Pan-fried String Bean clashed in terms of flavor so would recommend to choose one or the other and not both. It got kind of boring really quickly. Nothing really stood out for both of these dishes. The tofu could have had more Salt and Pepper taste. The chili flakes were really not necessary. The String Bean had too much going on and the flavors of the chili flakes, pickles, and minced pork did not work well together. The Seafood Pan Fried Crispy Noodle was just okay. Lacked flavor. Bok Choy was also in this dish and again, wish it was chopped up smaller and cleaned better. Lastly, their infamous roast duck wasn't anything out of the ordinary. I found it pretty salty and lacked meat. I even think the Asian supermarkets make better roast duck. Glad I got to try this place but sadly won't be back. Note - parking is hard to find and they do serve a sweet tapioca soup at the end. Pretty cheap meal for 4 people but cleanliness of the place is concerning. read more

We found Cheung Hing after being in the area and finding out the restaurant we were going to was unfortunately closed for the day, so we decided to give Cheung Hing a shot. We ordered two Hong Kong staples, beef chow fun and the combo BBQ dish with char siu, soy chicken, and duck. Starting with the beef chow fun, I would give it 4/5. The portion size is quite great and the onion, green onion, bean sprouts were all fresh. I felt it was missing a bit of either white pepper or needed a little more frying in my humble opinion The combo platter was more of a let down. The soy chicken and duck were not bad, but the char siu was overcooked and hard to chew, which was disappointing considering it seems like it should be one of the signature BBQ read more

Came to Cheung Hing for Chinese New Year Eve Dinner (aka Reunion Dinner) and thought Cheung Hing did a pretty good job overall! While it doesn't quite have the ambiance of its fancier neighbors in Millbrae, it still offered set menus for the occasion and the house was packed! We made a reservation for 7:30, but the staff was a bit behind on arrival and the party at our table also hadn't wrapped up yet. We were sat at 7:45 and immediately ordered the set menu we had previously looked at which features many of the traditional "must haves" leading up to New Years. Everything we had was pretty good - the ginger scallion chicken, beef with mixed mushrooms, and steamed bass were all table favorites. Cheung Hing did run out of a few items which affected dishes like the mixed cold platter which now featured more....unique animal parts than normal like stomach, hearts, gizzards, and pig ears (all still tasty). Additionally the lobster was tasty, but they really over battered the poor guy which led to some pasty parts. The e-fu noodles also had to sub in more enoki mushrooms and dried scallops because they had ran out of crab. I think while I could criticize them for some of these snafus, it was clear that even they didn't really expect this amount of people. They also told us and apologized up front so it wasn't like they were hiding things. All in all for the quality of food, Cheung Hing did its best and that's what I'll credit them for. They are not known to be a banquet hall but they delivered a tasty dinner for my family and it didn't require much effort from us. This allowed us to focus on having a good time and catching up with one another - the true purpose of this dinner. read more

3.5 stars There are so many Cheung Hing's in the Bay area, I counted up to six with same name but not sure if they are all related or owned by the same people. So far the Noriega/Sunset location is our favorite spot for Chinese BBQ, recently also had take out from the San Mateo place during Super Bowl and enjoyed the roasted pork and duck. Placed an order yesterday at this Milbrae location to be picked up on our way to visit a family member near SFO. The food was well received. -Large combination BBQ platter with 5 items (Grubhub @$48) the large takeout box was filled with roasted pork, Cha Sui, duck, steamed and soy chicken. The soy chicken tasted old, very salty and hard, the other four items were much better tasting. The other three items ordered were all decent, we had beef chow fun , chicken/salted fish fried rice and salt and pepper fish. Next time I'd probably call to order instead of using the on-line app since it didn't provide the options of whole duck/chicken or BBQ meat by the lb. Although not super impressed by the first try, we were in general satisfied with the food and may order again. read more

Cheung Hing used to be a classic restaurant that my family would go to when they were located in Chinatown in SF. I am not even sure if it is the same owner or not. But I decided to try this location as a nostalgia and I was quite disappointed. The quality of the food was not as good as I remembered. I remember that they had really good claypot dishes but this time it was just super salty and the meat quality was poor. The ambiance of the store seems weird as they also advertise ramen. read more

Everything was delicious! The fried rice was flavorful and not too salty or greasy, the portions are very generous. The Malaysia chow fun was delicious! It had a nice little kick and the curry was not overpowering, and they were very generous with the shrimp. The braised mushroom with tofu was very good and I recommend getting this for a veggie, the tofu was soft and delicate with the sauce soaked in. The salt and Pepper pork chop was mediocre in my opinion, I've had a lot of better salt and pepper pork chops. It was not as crispy as I'd liked it and the flavor of the garlic and jalapeños didn't really penetrate the pork chops. The Peking spare ribs on the other hand were fire! I highly recommend getting this and eating it over rice. The meat was flavorful and tender, while the sauce was sweet, tangy, with light vinegar notes. Overall, this is a great restaurant for Chinese take out or even dining in. read more

Ordered from the deli part of the restaurant. The line wasn't too long. I bought some roast duck. The man who cut it up was super nice. They prefer cash, but I was out and they let me pay with card instead. Everyone was super nice and the duck was soooo yummy. Definitely coming back. read more

I'm not sure how to rate my experience here. Came with my family of 10 and it was not crazy. The place next door was super packed so we had to settle for this place, and I regret it. We ordered 5-7 dishes and only a few of them came out. One of them was salt and pepper pork chops and it never came out after the rest of the food came. When we brought it to the attention of the waitress, we told her to cancel it if it wasn't made. She said she will check and came back out 5 minutes later empty handed and said nothing to us. My take is that she told the cooks in the back to make it since they forgot instead of canceling it off our bill like we asked since it wasn't even made to begin with. Majority of the food was done and here we are on Christmas waiting for a dish that was ordered in time but never made and forgotten about. read more

A friend, Cantonese, told me this chain, 祥興, is authentic. So we trekked from south to give it a try. Overall, I wish there's one like this closer to my home so that I can frequent it. But a 25-mile drive is too much. The portion is generous! Two of us couldn't finish even one dish, let alone 3. The BBQ fares were excellent, but not the greatest. Chow Fen was above average. Fried Tofu OK. *When* I come next time, I will try more of their BBQ options. read more

We were looking for some traditional Chinese BBQ rice plates and tomato beef green mein (crispy noodles). For the Chinese BBQ, we went with roast pork and roast duck. We started with some free house soup and then our food just rolled out! Restaurant was about a third full on a Saturday but service was fast. The food was exactly what we wanted. Crunchy skin roast pork and good duck. The noodles were nice and thin and plenty of sauce to slightly soften the noodles. I would definitely come back! read more

What used to be a great Chinese restaurant with great BBQ, has sort of gone downhill. Roast duck was good, but cold. No roast pork, bummer. The beef chow fun, which is a staple, was bland. Pea sprouts were tough and bland. Peking spareribs, eggplant with pork, and beef filet with mushrooms was good. Service was actually fine for a typical Chinese restaurant with greasy floors. Maybe it was an off night or the main chef was off tonight. read more

It's been a little while since I ate here (about a month), but thought I'd go ahead and post a review based on my memory! I was there with a group of about 8 people, so I was able to sample quite a few dishes. We each ordered a dish and ate family style, of course; it's the only way to go in a Chinese restaurant! The food was pretty tasty. Most of the dishes were seasoned well, but a couple benefited from the addition of a bit of salt or soy sauce. That never bothers me because I'd prefer it to be under-salted rather than over. One dish that stood out for me was the fried fish with the corn and egg gravy (sorry, don't know what it's officially called). It was a dish I wouldn't think of ordering, but it really hit the nostalgia spot! Definitely comfort food! My choice of dishes was the meat patty with the salted egg, but it was a bit disappointing. It didn't seem to have the flavor it needed. It's one of my go-to comfort dishes, but it didn't comfort that evening! Others ordered roast duck, bittermelon with beef, oysters on a hot plate, and other things that I can't recall anymore. The restaurant is pretty big with two good sized rooms, but it's popular, so it does get crowded. There's a parking lot next to it, but it was completely full when I arrived, so I parked in the neighborhood and walked about three blocks. The wait staff could be a bit friendlier and less gruff, but I guess it's difficult when you work long hours and have been on your feet all day. All in all, it was a good dinner and I would return. read more

I thought I had been to every Cheung Hing Restaurant in the Bay Area when my wife sent me to this one in Millbrae. After my non-yelping wife had read all the reviews, she told me that I had to go to pick up one of their 2 item BBQ rice plates. She told me that the reviews were good, and that the butcher up front treated men better. I've been there several times to pick this up for lunch. I don't know if the meat man is sexist, but, he gives more than the places that I normally frequent in Southern California. I've had their roast pork, duck, and kui fei chicken. All of their meats that I've ordered are good. We've also called in our orders for chowmein and other dishes. Everything we've ordered have pretty good, except for their lobster yee mein, the lobster seemed to be kind of old, not fresh. It's a good place! I probably will continue coming here when I am working up north. Good place with reasonable prices. read more
