This restaurant is under ownership, it was the location of the Mayflower restaurant before. The waitress was very knowledgeable about what was fresh in the restaurant, we took her recommendation for most of the dish choices. Her suggestion for the fish was not bad, it was a cod of some kind and the greens were a watercress stir fried in a bean curd. The only dish I ordered immediately was the brisket in clear broth with turnips. The fish was something I normally steam at home, I think our preference would have been a bass if they had it but they were pushing the cod and that was not a bad choice, it's just cod is s rather bland fish. The vegetables we would have ordered was pea shoots but they ran out so wayercress was a good option. My friends specifically ordered the giant clams because that's what they don't normally have where they come from, the dish was pretty good. The brisket in clear broth was lacking in brisket and the clear broth used a different seasoning than what I'm accustomed to, it seemed the chef embellished his own interpretation in the broth a bit, it wasn't bad but different from what I'm accustomed to. read more

Food was terrible, atleast whatever i got. The chow fun was one of the blandest i've had (look at the pic) and the rice clay pot felt like it wasn't even cooked in the clay pot. Rice was mushy, barely any burnt rice at the bottom and pretty taste-less. spare pork ribs were not good either, too much garlic overpowering the bland black bean sauce. The one decent thing was the portions they provided and the har gow. I'd maybe come back to try more of the dim sum... read more

This is your typical dim sum place. Tables are close to each other. They don't have the carts pushing the food around. You mark what you want on the menu & they bring it to you. Food is ok. I've had better. A few dim sum places have closed since pandemic so it's nice this place is still open. I would come here again but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

Food is good and the service is better than last time. But they add 18 on the bill already and still asked for more and that's not cool. They have tv on and some music, can't complain about it as it's regular Chinese restaurant set up. The only plus thing would be the bathroom, they did a good job with bathroom as most Chinese places have really smelly bathroom. This I definitely give them a thumb up. read more

I love Dragon Beaux a few blocks away but we are in an inflation here people! Time to looker for cheaper dim sum and with that comes the quality too. The dim sum here satisfies your dim sum craving but not the best I ever had. But, we saved about $40 for 2 people ordering roughly the same amount of food so if you are dim sum price conscious this is the place. We were a party of 2 ordering 7 dishes and came out to $63 with the mandatory 15% charge. Service was non existent. Greeted immediately, was bought to a table and served tea. Nobody checked up on us or our food. 15% is steep! We ordered: sticky rice (winner of the day!), mushroom rice rolls, bbq pork, deep fried meat dumplings, bean curd, black mushroom siumai, steamed shrimp and spinach dumplings. All dishes were decent except the mushroom suimai. The pork was just cheap meat, was not marinated well and tasted very porky. The mushroom rice rolls was stuffed with large mushrooms and when you picked it up with your fork, all the mushrooms tumbled out. Would be better if they sliced the mushrooms. That would make the presentation better and also easier to eat. Cheung Hing is not the best dim sum Ive ever eaten but definitely not the worst either. You either love it or you hate it. To me, it was just OK but wouldnt hesitate to come back if hungry for dim sum. read more

I came here for a few to-go orders, and it was just a little disappointing, so I don't come here often. The last time I ordered the bbq pork and roast pork to go and I find both of them to be quite dry. read more

Like this food is completely inedible. I got delivery from here for lunar new year eve dinner and our guests were shocked at the food quality. We pretty much tossed everything in the bin cause it's that gross. The roasted pork were literal pieces of fat and the roasted duck, were skin and fat and bones. We don't even know how that's possible. It's like someone decided to take leftovers and packaged them into a box. Oh and the bbq pork buns, were soggy and wet!! clearly they put profit ahead of any sense of decency! read more

We were going to go to our regular Chinese restaurant a block away with the family for dinner the day after Christmas, but since it was closed, we decided to try Cheung Hing since it opened several months ago. Parking was easy, as there were plenty of street parking on the same block. The restaurant is bright and clean and our party of eight was seated at a table in the center of the dining room. We perused the extensive menu and our waitress suggested Family Dinner Special Menu for 4-8 persons. There's a $128 option with pork tripe with chicken or lobster and a $168 option with Peking duck or crab and you select 6 entrees out of the 40. After perusing the entrée options listed, we decided to opt for the $168 option. The meal started with a commentary house soup that came in a fancy soup tureen. The dishes we ordered included: Clams with black bean sauce - tasty and good portion, though the clams were all small. Peking duck - the duck was well prepared. Skin was very crispy and came with the steamed buns, scallions and hoisin sauce. Probably best dish of the meal. Bitter melon with pork ribs - you'll like this dish is you like bitter melon. Lots of bitter melon but not that much pork ribs. Roasted pork with oysters in clay pot - tasty and well made. Comparable to the other restaurant down the block. Braised beef brisket in supreme broth - Beef brisket was not braised long enough because it was a little tough. It came with dichon. Broth was flavorful. Fishcake with Chinese broccoli - Well made. It was tasty. Chinese style beef fillet - strips of beef in a sweet and sour-like sauce. This was ok. Red bean dessert - For dessert, we were served a complementary red bean sweet soup. Service was friendly, tea pot was refilled and they came by several times to change your plates, if needed. Food was a hit or miss on the plates were ordered. Will probably have to study the menu more on the regular menu before we make a return visit. read more

Stopped in for dim sum. Food was excellent, prepared fresh, reasonably priced. Will be back!

The food is not bad. The waitresses are friendly and helpful. However the owner or manager during dinner time is rude and is misleading regarding menu items. So avoid contact with her if possible. Also note, if you're dining in, prices are actually 18% higher than what's posted, because menus make no mention of this mandatory fee. read more

This is our second time having brunch with a large party. There are a few bugs, but it's expected from a new restaurant. Tony has been very cordial in making sure our dining experience is up to par. This is important to my family and me. We are very happy with the food and service. The only thing I don't like is the &1.50 per head charge for tea. We had 13 people and were charged for 14. Nobody drank tea also. So beware to check your bill. Otherwise, you will be very pleased with the food and service. read more

My husband & I stopped here for lunch after our errands. Glad we came earlier before noon when suddenly the place was swarmed especially by older people. The dining room was getting crowded and it was just Tuesday. I ordered Jasmine tea and my husband asked for cold water with a straw. He noticed something black stuff floating inside the drink. I ordered a glass of cold water too. Well there was a black thing floating as well. We did not tell the server because he was busy and hard to make contact. So my husband got 7Up in the can from the fridge next to our table. We ordered Shanghai Dumplings, Thai Egg Rolls, Black Mushroom Sumai, Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce, BBQ Pork, Mongolian Beef & Steamed Rice. The food was delicious though. I saw people signing for waitlist. The 7Up was included on the bill and the automatic 15% tip for 2 people. We may return but not for a while. read more

Once again, I come here and something goes wrong. This time, I'm the only person here and it takes half an hour to fix my dish because--- most likely--- someone completely forgot. Then the check arrives for a tip that no one deserves. Enough with this place. read more

We came here for dim sum at lunchtime on a Saturday for four people. Wow, no line. The restaurant did fill up after we sat down. Their menu and food are not bad. They have the usual dim sum stuff for $5-$9 a plate/steamer. You can also order off-menu and they might have it. Someone in our party wanted okra (green tube vegetable thing) and they had it over soy sauce. We will certainly go back to try their fried sticky rice dishes. Good job staff at Cheung Hing. Their service is better than some of the big dim sum restaurants down the peninsula. $155 for four people. Mandatory 18% tip. read more

Look, the restaurant is a solid three just based on food. But I look at things holistically, not just the food. We made reservations for 14, two ended up not being able to come so it went down to 12. But even so, the table was more meant for 10, not 12, and NOT 14 (yes, took away two chairs from this place). Good thing some of us were fairly tiny, so we could fit, elbow to elbow. Then the service. In the beginning, since we had a larger party, they recommended the banquet style. We declined because our group doesn't really like banquet foods and wanted to order a la Carte. Again she insisted and again we said no. And she said do it again. She kept insisting until my mother just went (in Chinese): listen! We don't want banquet style, we want to order a la Carte. We don't eat banquet food. We don't care if the plates are too small. If we need to order more we will later. Then we were left alone go order. And as a BTW: all the dishes we ordered and were satisfied with was $80-100 cheaper than the base price of their cheapest banquet menu. If you've been to Korea, you'll know what I mean by "it felt like I walked into a store in Korea". The service workers follow you around the store to assist your every need. Here, we had at least one waiter stand by our table. It was convenient if we ever needed anything, but really weird because never has this happened to me in America. In addition: they gave one of our dishes wrong. A veggie dish. It's not a big deal, this happens all the time and usually they delivered the wrong dish to the wrong table. Simple solution. Here, the waitress had accidentally punched in the wrong dish when placing it into the system. Not a super big deal, accidents happen and both dishes were very similar so it's understandable. So when we brought it up to her, she checked her mistake and said: well, try this dish out. It's similar and cheaper than the dish you originally ordered. Huh? But this isn't the dish we wanted. What if we ate it and didn't like it? Then what? We had to get a manager (or just another waiter) who took the dish back and served us our actual meal. It's just unfortunate. The food: I'm not going to talk much about it. Becuase it was mid. It was fine. It wasn't great, it was okay but I could get much better food, same price with bigger portions probably five minutes away. Also, without the pressure into spending more money. read more

It was okay. Prices are fair. We went for dinner. We got the crab noodles but it was bland. But everything else like the duck was very good.

We went there recently for family dinner, and we ordered "Set B." We wanted a place that could accommodate a party of 10. As a SF native, this has been the most underwhelming meal that I've had in my 30+ years of having Chinese food. Their dishes were disproportionaly seasoned. Within the same dish, such as the mixed seafood with pea shoots, certain seafood pieces were over salted, while other pieces were under salted. Their soup tasted sour, something was off. I don't recall ever not chowing down Chinese banquet/restaurant soup. This was my first. Many of their other dishes tasted rubbery. Service was fine. They didn't do anything egregious or rude. I will say, they were slow. They asked if we would like to change our plates toward the end of the meal, like literally before our last dish of fried rice. At that point, we were so disillusioned by this place that we just declined. For over $800, there are plenty of other Chinese restaurants around the Outer Richmond you could go to. read more

Food is alright. Terrible service. I'm not expecting high class service. But maybe just a tiny bit of it would be nice.

Decent Chinese food, nothing spectacular. We come here because they have congee and are converted identical. There's usually a line for dim sum and I haven't tried them yet. We've ordered the lunch menu items like cashew chicken, kung pao chicken, and black bean sauce spareribs. Honestly aside from the cashews, the kung pao chicken and cashew chicken taste exactly the same. read more

Watch out the way the waitress sells you on what they have and their specials. There is a $10.99 item if you order $88. They weren't clear and in the end charged us extra. Pretty bad experience. Don't recommended. Food quality is meh for the price. $35 a person is way over priced for the quality of the food.very old decor and feels like they never remodeled after taking over the previous business. read more

Ordered from here on dash had the half duck and white rice. I live for the flavor of a nice roasted duck and I this duck was tender and there was a nice glaze on the exterior. It was seasoned well you can taste the five spice through and through. There were parts that were overly salty but it wasn't the majority of the pieces. They were fast and the price was reasonable. I also enjoyed the bed of cabbage my duck was nested on. I ate it up with my white rice. read more

I went here anyways despite the yelp ratings being lower than expected! We were surprised by the amount of old people eating here. Good thing here is you can order dim sum and some other dishes like two meat bbq plates. The roast pork and honey bbq pork plate was pretty good. I wish they gave more meat instead of a big ass plate of rice. Who the fuck needs that much rice for one person?? Two stars lost for being cheap on the bbq meats The dim sums are pretty good with plenty of meat. Service was good. read more

The rating of this place was surprisingly low from r the quality of the food and service. What i suspect is Yelp combining the previous dim sum place/restaurant that was at this location years ago. The previous Dim Sum place sold it, before COVID, and they have been operating for at least 15-20 years prior. I think the current owners even kept the old chairs from the previous restaurant. For those who know how to read Chinese, you can read the name on the chairs and look up the old restaurant. Anyways, the current average rating shown on yelp does not represent it's current rating. The food is really good and I ate them all up as they came in, so I forgot to take pictures. The staff is nice and seating is on the smaller side, at least for a dim sum restaurant. The food is more on the traditional side and is very good. Taste is balanced and I didn't have the msg aftertaste when I left. The dishes that surprised me the most were the fish balls, durian pastries, and chicken feet. When I mean surprised, I meant the quality. You can judge a dim sum place on how good they make the chicken feet, and this place is up there. As for parking, since they are located on the quieter side of Geary, there will be street parking available. As for why the 4 star review, I will be deducting points because it's the same interior as the old place. Lol. As a side note ... Think of this place as budget dim sum. Price ain't bad for dim sum. Other places will be charging way more for worse quality. read more

I really like Shai Lai, so was very sad to see it closed; however, Cheung Hing recently opened in their place and seems to be serving similar dim sum items. So we visited and here are our thoughts. Ambiance: Very similar to Shai Lai, except you can tell they replaced the dirty carpets with tiles. The interior seems cleaner and more open. They are still using the same chairs (from May Flower restaurant days), but those are great, so no complaints. Service: Very nice service and good pacing of food coming out the kitchen. We came on a weekend and around 12 noon. Food: Very similar to Shai Lai and in some instances, better. The Har Gow (shrimp dumplings) skin is pretty thin, and the other dim sum offerings are not overly salty. Prices: Very reasonable. Other Charges and Suggestions: I saw that the restaurant included a 15% service charge on our dine-in bill for two. Although I think 15% gratuity is very reasonable, my thoughts on this is that it should still be up to the customers. I understand the staff should be paid fairly, that calculation should already be figured into the pricing of the food. Tips should be optional at the discretion of the diners. However, I do understand that inflation of food and supplies right now can make things difficult, so in that case, please make it known to your customers that they are being charged X% service fee/tips if they dine-in. so all customers are aware. They can add more tips if they like as additional lines and suggestions are posted on the signature copies, but customers need to be aware of this as most will likely tip again without realizing they have already been charged. No one wants to feel like they have been scammed and this is never a good practice for any restaurant that wants loyal repeat customers. read more

Standard chinese fare. Overall the food is good - not life changing, but good. The BBQ pork was generously sized and delicious (with a ton of rice and some steamed cabbage) while the bean curd was a little less great with an overly bland sauce. Pricing was quite reasonable and the pork plate was great value. I'll give it 4 stars on those grounds, although they appear to be pushing the dim sum quite a bit. However, service was really lackluster - didn't see anyone after I ordered for ages - and they don't note anywhere that the rice rolls are only available before a certain time of day. read more

Wicked sneaky 18% service charge! Food was just ok and service was not that attentive. We wrote in our tip on the receipt that they brought back after charging our credit card. I went back and looked at the picture of the initial bill. Didn't expect to realize after the fact that they had already automatically added a 18% service charge when they billed you. We were not a party of 6 or more people, service was not that attentive. After they charged your card, the receipt had another line for additional tip. Nowhere was any mention that a service charge was already included. So, we got tricked by their unscrupulous practice of a sneaky 18% service charge, with an additional line for tip, which we filled in, giving them even more tips that was not earned. read more

Now called Cheung Hing, this spot has periodically changed names and management over the years. Yet, it has consistently been a Chinese restaurant and popular dim sum spot for many years. It very recently underwent a small remodel (new floors were a nice change!) and changed its name to Cheung Hing. To be honest, I found the food from the previous management better. Cheung Hing is a decent restaurant with dim sum service that is 3/5 stars. We were a group of 5 and ordered a lot of dishes (photographed are only some!). I'll highlight the most memorable ones (both good and bad). Get these: - Shrimp Dumpling 4/5: Solid choice. Soft rice dough dumpling exterior with delicious shrimp interior. I hogged these at the table. - Sticky Rice & Chicken in Lotus Leaf 4/5: Very delicious. Even portions of protein and rice. Serving size was generous. - Deep Fried Tofu Skin Shrimp 4/5: This was my first time trying this and it was really good. The skin was so crispy and the filling was yummy. Pass on these: - Roast Duck 2/5: The price was good for the portion size. It was clear it had been sitting out. The duck was lukewarm and the skin was no longer crispy. It was also particularly fatty and salty. Most of the pieces were bony. - Chow Fun w/ Beef and Black Bean 2/5: It has a strong grill flavor, which I know some people like (if that's you, you'll probably like this). I didn't care for the flavor. - Baked Custard Tart (Don Tot) 0/5: I was told by others at my table that it tasted rancid and I shouldn't touch it. My party included several don tot enthusiasts, so I took their word for it. Cheung Hing also offers catering and banquet services, great for much larger groups. Prices were good compared to other places in the area. read more

My family of four ordered roast duck, tomato beef chow mein, sweet-and-sour pork and garlic mustard greens (gai choy). Everything was delicious, huge portions and the meal cost only $71! My father-in-law declared the chow mein to be the best tomato beef chow mein he's ever had which is a high compliment. The sweet-and-sour pork was perfectly crispy and I ate way too much. The duck was tender and meaty, although it has more five spice flavor than we are used to. The gai choy was fun for a change. I am from Hong Kong so I have high standards. Next time we will come back and try their dim sum as well as the lobster noodles and the clay pot rice. read more

possibly the most underrated dim sum place in the bay area - i'm not even sure if the restaurant's name is correct on Yelp lol. according to Google it's still called Shai Lai Seafood Restaurant. though the clientele seems to be almost entirely older chinese people, the servers do speak english. the dumplings and shrimp rolls are fantastic, as are the stuffed eggplant. my favorite thing on the menu is their egg white scallop fried rice! and also the egg yolk buns are not overly sweet. my one complaint is that they have a dumpling on the menu that's labeled as scallop or something, but it actually contains shark fin (at least according to the receipt). read more

We came here on July 4th weekend and the restaurant was packed. They are well known for sticky rice. Which honestly it was not bad. It was flavorful and filling. The sticky rice has peanuts, Chinese sausage. Scallion eggs, green onions,mushroom. It was filling and surprisingly delicious. The chives and shrimp dumpling needs work. It the skin was too thick and was not pan friend well enough and end up beening mushy. The fried pumpkin salted egg was good but didn't have enough salted egg yolk flavor. The Sui mui was delicious and moist. The fried sardines was delicious. It was nice and crunchy with a kick of spice. Our friends at another table gave us their fried pork chop was really good. It was seasoned with the same as the sardines. With jalapeño and spicy powder chili. It was cold but still delicious. I would like to come back to try other items like the shrimp dumpling, fried rice or other noodles. I am also interested in trying the fish ball. Which is similar to the beef ball but instead made with fish and steamed read more

Great for dim sum during the lunch time. Just okay for dinner. Quick service and friendly staff.

The restaurant automatically adds an 18% tip to your bill. It doesn't matter how many people are in your party. Then they give you a bill with an empty tip line. If you are not careful, you will tip twice without realizing it. Gratuities are generally not mandatory, especially for very short-handed and very minimum service. read more

One the way to the park but found this dim sum place so didn't not think of anything just walked into it. Got FURIOUS after realizing the mid aged waiter charging 15% tips without even asking. And plus they tax you for the tip so they can charge more. It is illegal to do it let's hope they will not get in trouble. When he gave me back the receipt the tips request was covering the receipt, whoever was not seeing this while chitchatting with friend would have gotten caught by tipping them twice I'm pretty sure I was planning to tip them that much though but that moment I really wanna leave them $1 tip for how rude it it the way they did .

Cheung Hing - Receipt - Dim Sum Near Me - San Francisco, California

We were here about 2 weeks ago and were happier with the food then. It was a disappointment today as out of the 8 dim sum dishes that we had ordered, we only liked 3 of them (egg rolls, sticky rice chicken wrapped in lotus leaf, and steamed tofu skin rolls) since the other 5 dishes were not up to expectations. We also noticed that some people didn't have to wait for a table because they knew and bribed one of the workers with a tip. I was not very happy with our male host today as he gave a table to the group of 4 people behind me first. When I asked him about it he said he was going to give us a smaller table since we had only 2 people, but I pointed out to him that there was a couple sitting near the entrance that was occupying the same-sized table as the one he had given to the group of 4 behind us. So we didn't think the service was good but beware that they automatically put a 15% service charge on your bill despite the not-very-good service! read more
