Hands down the best Cheung Hing around. Dining here is good because the location is a fair size, clean and bright. Service is always consistent and the servers are friendly. Recently I stopped to pick-up dinner with the plan to have leftovers. I called my order in and was quoted 40 minutes for my order to be ready. My order consisted of salted fish and chicken fried rice (this location has the best around SF and the peninsula), bitter melon beef, chicken chow mein, Thai style fried vermicelli (my favorite dish here), salt and pepper chicken wings. We also received a complimentary bbq pork fried rice. Everything was fantastic and we had plenty of leftovers for a few days. read more

San Mateo location, my usual favorite Chinese food Won ton soup - might've been the first time I've ordered it here. Felt like having won ton soup to help a cold and cough. Big won ton filled w pork and shrimp. Bok choy Broth not much flavor, in a separate container since this was a take-home order. Curry Beef Stew I've never had Curry beef stew before, prefer chicken, curry, but for some odd reason, I decided to order this dish. It was underwhelming and I won't order it again. The Curry sauce itself was OK but the big long pieces of beef were somewhat gross, lots of fat. They added plenty of slices to onions and a few pieces of green pepper and Julienned carrots, but that's about it for being called a stew. So I learned my lesson by not sticking to my usual order, and won't order wonton soup or curry beef stew again. read more

Technically located in San Mateo but really so in Bel-Mateo(between Belmont and San Mateo). Cheung Hing is an old school Chinese restaurant where the fresh Duck is hanging right there for you to pick up. The interior is dated but the food is authentic and not too oily. I usually pick up the aforementioned Duck and some pan fried noodles, maybe some rice porridge on colder days. Service is solid and they're a good option in the local area. read more

Decent prices and special fried rice or mein if you essentially buy 3 dishes. Bitter melon beef was ok but small portion. Yee mein with crab was good and fried rice was tasty. Old style tomato beef chow mein was best. No frills restaurant but good food and busy service. Expect to wait 30 min for take out. Would come back if in the area read more

I'm a creature of habit and work from home, so I've been going to Cheung Hing on 42nd Ave for lunch almost daily. The service has always been mediocre, but I've never really cared much because I usually order my food to go. The food itself is so-so, but the restaurant is convenient and close by. Most of the time, I order through DoorDash and pick it up at the restaurant, which has become a nice excuse to step away from my home office for a short break. Today, however, I had an experience that really left a bad taste in my mouth. I arrived around 1:00 PM to pick up my order. There were a few other customers, including myself, standing at the counter waiting, while the waiters were chatting among themselves near the kitchen. A new customer came in and walked directly to the second counter near the kitchen to ask about his food. I assumed he was also picking up an order and was probably a regular. The waiter told him to simply pick it up at the front counter, where the rest of us were waiting. He did exactly that. Seeing this, another customer and I assumed we could do the same, especially since I could clearly see my order sitting there with my name on it. It had already been paid for through DoorDash, so I thought there was no reason I couldn't simply pick it up. One of the waitresses came over and sternly told me that I couldn't do that. I was surprised by her reaction and pointed out that the gentleman who had just walked in had done exactly the same thing. Her response was: **"You are not like him. He comes every day."** I told her, **"I almost come every day."** She then threw my food package onto the counter in front of me and repeated, **"You're not like him."** I honestly don't know what was meant by that, but the entire interaction was unnecessarily rude and dismissive. I've been a regular customer for a long time, coming in almost every day and spending my money here, and I don't expect special treatment. I simply expect to be treated with basic courtesy and consistency. After today's experience, I'll be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Food is a 4: tasty, plentiful and reasonably priced. You can pick from sitting at a booth or round table. Service is a 1.5, you really need to be an advocate for yourself and be aggressive to track someone down to order, however once you do---food comes out quickly. Parking is easy and free. Very old school Chinatown vibes---so go with that in mind.... Would come back. read more

I've been to the Cheung Hing in Millbrae and it's decent. This was my first time at this location. Ordered the wonton noodle soup and the broth was super salty.

One of my favorite places to order affordable Chinese food. I especially love their bbq pork/roast duck over rice dish. Other dishes are delish is scramble egg chow fun! If you see sticky rice at the register, do yourself a favor and buy it! They are really good. 2 STARS - Service is slowwwww 4 STARS - Food flavor read more

My first time trying Cheung Hing, pretty good! I've heard a lot of chatter about this restaurant's meats and thought I'd give them a try on a Winter, rainy day. My focus was their variety of BBQ and roasted meats. I ordered to-go Egg Flower Soup, Mushroom Chicken, BBQ Pork and Combination Fried Rice. The BBQ Pork is really good and true to Chinese cuisine. It's hard to find an entree of BBQ Pork in the area. Portions are generous! Mushroom Chicken and Combination Fried Rice is really good, too. Mushroom Chicken is great over the rice. I didn't care for their version Egg Flower Soup, with bits of zucchini. I miss Egg Drop Soup accompanied by crunchy little, noodles to sprinkle on top. It's super hard to find. Everything was packaged nicely for to-go. They've got a large menu with lots of options for whatever you're craving. I was craving BBQ Pork. Definitely give them a try, especially if you enjoy BBQ and roasted duck, pork and chicken. They have larger platters of meats for parties or families. The duck looks amazing! read more

Not to be confused with the Cheung Hing for dimsum a 6minute drive away... be sure to triple check the location. The interior was nice, lots going on with food brought out after a decent time. We really liked the roast duck and the fried dough, the chow fun wasn't mixed very well and the clams didn't taste too fresh. Total came out to $62 -- they calculate tip after tax so beware. read more

It took me a while to finally check this place out, it's in the old Uncle Chen's location. Quality was ok, service slow but we went late on a Tuesday night so can't really complain. For the price and quality, it's a solid choice if you are craving some comforting Chinese food. We had some chicken fried rice (tons of chicken!), beef chow fun, and egg rolls. Big portions, well seasoned, not overly greasy. Hit the spot and I will check them out again, the roast duck and pork on the menu looked good, will have to check those out next time. read more

If I could give 0 stars i really would. We Really wanted to eat some duck over rice , and was so disappointed, duck was raw. Pot stickers tasted a bit funny unusual. Egg rolls were cold in the middle, only hot layer was the fried skin. Needless to say we will not come here again. We didn't finish the food, we paid to get plates dirty since nothing was eaten only tasted and came home disgusted although we were so hungry . read more

Came here yesterday for lunch with a cousin and my Aunt. We were on a mission to try several (8!) dishes, plus steamed rice in preparation for my Aunt's upcoming birthday lunch which will be here in December (currently November)... Pros- many of the dishes were quite tasty. My favorites were the braised tofu with bok choy, and a 50/50 platter of their bbq pork and crispy pork dishes. The meats were super tender and juicy, almost melted in my mouth. The bok choy was light, a nice contrast to the other dishes which combined became quite heavy. My Aunt's favorite was also the braised tofu with bok choy, followed by their sweet and sour chicken, then their honey walnut prawns. The restaurant is not fancy, but it was packed (every table was in use!) with really nice patrons. The tables around us were extremely friendly, one table brought us take out containers when they went to get their own (so nice, right!)! And other folks came by to wish my Aunt a happy birthday... it was a restaurant, but almost felt like we were at someone's home. Cons- the staff didn't seem to communicate with one another... while we were a table of 3 guests, we ordered a ton of food and asked the initial waitress for a larger table. She combine our small four top table with a two top, all the other waitresses tried to take it away seeing only the 3 of us, so we had to explain our situation to 3 of their other waitresses. I would have thought after the first one, they'd all know our situation, but that didn't happen. My cousin (cousin-in-law) goes to this spot a lot with her family. She mentioned their lobster noodles were amazing, so we ordered the $9.99 special since we had well over the $88.88 order requirement. Perhaps I didn't mix it enough or it was a bad day, but that was my least favorite dish... and I generally love lobster and noodles! Otherwise, we all enjoyed our lunch! The food in general was very good and the people around us were extremely nice and gave the spot a very homey feel. Was a fun time! Note - it does get super busy, luckily I suggested we get there around 11:30, by 12:07 it was literally packed with people waiting outside. read more

Came here for dinner a few nights ago and was floored by the large dishes of food for a considerably affordable price. The only thing I didn't like was the pea sprouts were a bit on the tougher end. Oysters were huge, lobster noodles were good, salt and pepper shrimps were fresh and huge (they really should devein them though), pork jowl with green beans were delicious. I can't even remember everything we ate, but everything was decent and not overly salty. Came back the next day and got a whole roast duck for $32.95. Such a great price and the duck was flavorful. Will definitely be back! read more

The banquet meal #1 for $308 was fine. The clams in black bean sauce was good as was the Yang Zhou fried rice and lobster with ginger and green onion. The seafood with tofu soup was fine. The Peking spareribs, Peking duck and salt and pepper fish were ok. A decent meal. read more

Service was atrocious. We stopped by to get a roasted duck and saw a plate of zongzi by the cash register. We picked one up, planning to buy it. The restaurant lady yelled across the room " don't touch it!" She then came to us and said "everyone saw you touching them." It was a very unfriendly interaction, even by Cantonese standards. We don't plan to patronize this business again. read more

Still a favorite go-to restaurant for very good Cantonese food. Always great to eat familiar and new dishes. Consistent quality and reasonable prices. Love this place. read more

I come back here so many times just for their clay pot rice. There are many options to choose from Chinese sausage, pork, beef, chicken, or fish in a mini clay pot. I always get the preserved sausage and pork rice in clay. I can smell the delicious aroma as the staff mixed the crispy rice with the soy sauce. The sizzling Chinese sausage definitely adds another layer of sweetness to the pot. The best part of this is savoring the charred rice on the bottom of the pot. Apart from the amazing clay pot, I also loved their flavorful and juicy roasted duck. And the service was always super fast. read more

Worst customer service for someone who is not Chinese. The food was good thanks to the friendly customers sitting next to us recommending items on the menu. It's hard to tell what each item is on the menu since there are no descriptions or details. I asked for no sprouts in my noodles due to pregnancy since sprouts can carry bacteria and the lady still brought the noodles with sprouts. read more

This review is strictly based off my doordash orders haha. As a Hong Kong relative, I love my Hong Kong style bbq. Roast duck and roast pork, especially the pork, has to be done right so that you get the crispy skin but chewy soft meat. Statistically, they've managed to hit it out of the park compared to the minute number of times they haven't. Can't speak to the vibe but I imagine it's a no muss no fuss type of place ; pick what you want and go! Overall: 8/10 recommend read more

I came here on a lark and I'm glad I did. For some reason, all of a sudden upon reading the menu, I had a hankering for their Roast Duck. Maybe the aroma or whatever, it's what I ordered. When my order came, it was visually delightful and spot on if it's curb appeal you're looking for. The lunch special was generous and I enjoyed every bite of the meal. And not to be stereotypical, I also noticed that as the patrons drifted in, they were all Asians, so there must be some genuine authenticity to their food. I give these folks a thumbs up! read more

We have been here a lot for dim sum since there aren't that many dim sum places on the Peninsula. I think this place has decent dim sum and my husband likes it as well. The beef noodle roll is pretty good. I do dislike that they put water chestnut pieces in here because it adds this horrible crunch I don't like but I just try to take the out before I eat it. I ask them for extra sauce because I think the default level doesn't give you enough! The steamed spareribs are yummy. I like the sauce they use and the pieces of meat they give were easy to eat. Some places give you horrible cuts of meat that are very difficult to remove the bone from but I thought these were good. The salted egg dessert bun was nice. They actually gave us the wrong order but we ate it anyway and I didn't think it was too salty. read more

Met family here for dinner on a Saturday night at 6:30. The restaurant was a little over half full. Including the cashier/host, they had 3 employees taking orders and assisting diners. The restaurant was your typical Chinese restaurant- clean but not overly expensive or fancy, which was fine. Items ordered: Pork chops - not too salty but too much 5 spice seasoning. Portion was big Gai lan (Chinese broccoli) cooked with garlic- Flavor was fine but they did not trim or cut some of the stems as some pieces were too chewy/stringy. Portion size was big Sampan porridge- came with pork (instead of pig stomach- which is fine for me), shrimp, squid, fish, peanuts, and ginger. Portion size was average Stir fried chow mein with soy sauce- big portion with plenty of sprouts and yellow chives. Fish clay pot- Portion size was average but it was too salty and sweet for my taste. This came with tofu, fish, shiitake mushroom, and garlic. Chinese donut I tried to order a hot milk tea but they only had cold ones. I opted for an iced lemon tea, but it was too sweet. I added water to it and it was still too sweet. My party had arrived and ordered prior to my arrival Trying to flag someone down to add to my order took a while. While service took longer due to them not having a lot of staff, once I got their attention, they were very nice. They had plenty of street parking in front and the lot across the street was near empty. Service 3.5 Food 2.5 read more

TLDR: Decent quality Cantonese food, friendly unobtrusive straightforward service, plenty of big tables for large parties such as ours. Huge dining room. Interior clean, but our lazy susan was a little wobbly! No signs of MSG here.. good food. We came here for a late dinner around 9pm after a team sports event, seeing that most every other restaurant was closing or about to close within 25 minutes, so this was pretty much the only game in town for Cantonese fare. Cheung Hing (not related to other restaurants of the same name in SF or Millbrae) came through with our orders of the following: Salt and Pepper Fried Chicken Wings - very fresh, crispy big pieces, but not too salty nor peppery, a bit more plain than I would have expected. Excellent batter. 8.2/10 Beef Noodle with Chives - yummy and moist with tender slices of beef amidst a bed of thick tender noodles. 9/10 House Special Chow Mein (with Thin Hong Kong-style fried noodles) - on point with surprisingly good slices of BBQ pork and chicken with a couple of slices of fish and a fair bit of calamari. The only downside is that they were a bit too generous with the sauce, so the nice crispy noodles got drowned out a bit too quickly. 8.5/10 Won Ton - big won tons, thin broth on point 8.8/10 Plenty of angle parking all around the restaurant, so getting here by car is likely the best method. This place is worth a late night visit.. sure! read more

We ordered so much food and all of it was delicious - from about 17 different people. I definitely found some dishes yummier than others (Peking duck and walnut prawns). It's definitely a hole in the wall place (kind of hard to find parking). I did like that they have a deal if you spend over $90 you get lobster noodles for ~$10. I wish I took more pictures to show off how good it looked with the generous portions. Overall, really accommodating hole in the wall Chinese place to definitely try out read more

No frills Chinese food with amazing duck and hot fresh food. Their chow fun was delish please make sure you pick dry or wet otherwise it automatically comes out stir fried wet with a crazy sauce. Service was prompt and they had a ton of ppl Sitting down to eat and picking up Togo orders. There is another one in Belmont but it's a bit fancier and offers dim sum. We will be back for the duck and the chow fun. I would def take my mom here for dinner. It looks great read more

Never goes wrong with chinese food at this place. I do favorite their salt and pepper chicken wings. But everything there is good. The service is good too. I am a returning customer whether is ordering online or eating in person read more

I have come here a few times. I will say it is better when you dine-in. I have done dine-in and take-out before and it might be me but it seems that the portions for dine-in is way better. Service is great. The restaurant can get packed so you might have to wait for a bit. For the peking duck, be sure to reserve them early during the day because they run out of it quick. Same thing with some of their BBQ dishes. All the food that we tried from here were pretty good. The Chinese sausage clay pot was delicious and the honey walnut prawns too. I think those are my favorites. Oh, and the scramble eggs with prawns is good too. read more

It's an okay spot. Their beef chow fun is pretty good, and a tofu clay pot. Otherwise, the other dishes were fine but nothing special. Their prices and portion sizes are pretty good though, so not a bad spot if you just want a casual place to eat but not somewhere I'd go out of my way for. Service was fine as well, the servers speak Canto but can understand Mandarin and speak enough to communicate which is a plus. read more

I grew up in the Bay Area but went out of state about 10 years ago. When I was a kid, my mom brought me to the original Cheung Hing in SF and it was one of my favorite restaurants to go to. Then to my surprise after getting older, they opened one in Millbrae. Although it wasn't as good as the SF one, it was still not bad. A decade after leaving, it was to my surprise that a Cheung Hung is right here in San Mateo. Some serious nostalgia hit and I had to go for lunch even on Thanksgiving Day. It wasn't that busy there with in dining customers but since it was Thanksgiving it looked like there were tons of to go orders and prepped turkeys to go. As other reviews say, customer service isn't their trait and to be fair, in my whole life I never went to Cheung Hing for their customer service. I mean kinda expected that everyone would be complaining from the customers to the servers to the chefs... and they were lol. But what really disappointed me was the food. I ordered a curry beef stew over rice and some char siu (bbq pork). They didn't have any other bbq meats cause they sold out. The beef stew was cooked but with the type of meat they use it's supposed to be stewed for a long time. Unfortunately that wasn't the case here and it made the chewy stuff practically inedible. The char siu was okay. It was a pretty big portion for one order and they do cut it pretty think. I just found the meat to have too much fat on it and the char on it was barely existent. Overall I'm just gonna give it a 3 star review because I do appreciate the fact that they were open on Thanksgiving. A little unfortunate that the food wasn't that great as I remembered from other locations. read more

Great place for Cantonese cuisine and at affordable prices. My top favorites are the braised tofu and mushroom, Singapore noodles, and the combo pan fried noodles but I've also had the salt & pepper fish (or tofu) and e-fu noodles which are tasty too. If you dine in, there is complimentary tong sui and they also have other promotions going on (like a free fried rice if you order over $45) which make it an even better value. Service is pretty fast and the place is usually busy during regular dining hours. So glad I tried this spot last year because now I keep coming back whenever I crave Cantonese food! read more

The ambiance was acceptable. Food was mediocre. Service was extremely rude. Waited at least 30 mn before being called in. There were 4 of us. They would not sit us eventhough there were available round tables. There were people of 4 that sat at the big round table. Table was sticky and a bit high compared to the level of the chairs. I had to sit on my feet to raise my body up. Service was painfully slow. We ordered food and rice. Rice did not come. We asked twice but was ignored. One of us had to get up and went toward the kitchen to get the attention. They told us to sit down. By the time we got our rice, the food was cold. Fried dumplings and eggrolls were mediocre. Beef chowmein did not have the burned taste or flavor that usually a typical chowmein would taste. What we were served is nothing like the pictures on their website or the menu. Instead of getting the bokchoy like they show on their ad, we got sprinkled oinion and bean sprouts. Very disappointing. The servers were not friently and treated us very rudely. We could have left, but we already waited so long. We eat out very frequently and we were never was at an establishment that greatly disappointed us like this one. I can name another chinese restaurant nearby that the food is so much better with much more pleasant servers. read more

| Ambiance | Casual Chinese restaurant, with booths along the left wall, big tables in the middle, and a bench w/tables & chairs along the right wall. Easy, free parking right outside of the restaurant. | Service | Don't expect great service. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's the type of place where you have to be comfortable flagging people down, and telling them what you need. There're usually 2-3 servers and it's not a small space, so when they get busy, they may forget your drink; just flag them down and tell them. | Food | Authentic casual Chinese food at a reasonable price. Our favorite is the roast duck - and ALWAYS get the whole duck. We find that when we get a half duck, it's hit or miss on whether you get good pieces; with the whole duck, it's always delicious! I crave it from time to time! Their Hong Kong milk tea, clay pot rice, and Fookien fried rice are yummy too. Currently, they have a 6th anniversary menu available M-F of ~6 choices that's an even better deal than usual; each menu includes a main (a noodle/rice/porridge), a beverage, and a pineapple bun. We ordered the thousand year old egg & shredded pork porridge, and the roast duck noodles for our mains. The roast duck noodles came with the duck leg and a good # of yummy pieces; the porridge was great comfort food, along with the Chinese donut / yau tiew. The anniversary menu is definitely good value! Not sure how long it'll last, catch it while you can! read more

I've tried Cheung Hing at other locations and their BBQ is alright, until I tried the San Mateo location. TLDR: lackluster food and dishonest billing practices, check your credit card charges! There was no wait on a weekend, so I should've taken it as a sign. We dined in and ordered a BBQ combination platter with roast pork and roast duck. You can already tell from the pictures but the roast duck portion was basically inedible, since it was all skin and bone. They gave us neck and head, and other random parts with no meat. There was a layer of lettuce at the bottom to prop up the meat, which was drowning in oil. The roast pork was also extremely oily, so the skin was not crispy. The worst part is that when we checked our credit card bill a few days later, we realized they had altered the tip amount on the receipt and charged extra to the card. For their dishonest business practices and lackluster food, I don't recommend coming to this place at all. read more
