After walking by Chino Yang's on many occasions, we decided to have dinner here one evening with friends. We got here around 6:15 on a Friday and there was one open table for four and we were seated by chef and rapper himself, Andy "Chino" Yang. He described the specialty dishes of the restaurant. The cuisine is Hunan, which will be on the spicy side. Some in our party mentioned they can't handle spicy and he is funny as he gave us the menus and he emphasize that "this one" is the ABC menu. That was funny, as that menu was the tame traditional Cantonese menu, which would be non-spicy. We looked over the menus and ordered a couple dishes from each menu. Sizzling Squid Tenacles less spicy - we took Chef's recommendation and asked for less spicy. Tentacles stirred fried with bell peppers and onions, it was flavorful but the heat was still more than a couple of us could bear. Hunan Grilled Butter Beef - stirred fried with onions and bok choy, the beef was flavorful. Mostly tender except for a couple pieces. Korean Chicken Wings - crispy wings with a soy garlic glaze with some pieces of red peppers. Not spicy, just don't eat the peppers. Chicken with Salted Fish Fried Rice - the not Hunan or ABC dish. Lol. It had good flavor. Overall, we had a good meal. Chef Yang was engaging and entertaining. The menu was mostly Hunan so that's where the popular dishes are. Wish my palette could handle more spice. read more

I recently tried Chino Yang's and overall, the food definitely slaps -- with one small hiccup. We ordered honey walnut prawns (so good that even the candied walnuts were completely gone), firecracker chicken, dry sautéed string beans, chicken pan-fried noodles, chicken egg foo young, salt and pepper fish, and rice. Every dish was flavorful and satisfying. The honey walnut prawns were a standout -- crispy, sweet, and perfectly balanced. The firecracker chicken had great and more mile than spicy, and the string beans were cooked just right with that delicious dry sauté texture. The only issue was the egg foo young. The eggs came out overly salty, and I had to send it back. Thankfully, the staff was friendly and very accommodating about it, which I really appreciated. The restaurant itself is small and cozy. I liked that you can watch videos of people making dishes I've never seen before -- it adds a fun and interesting touch to the atmosphere. Parking can be tough since it's located on Clement, so plan accordingly. Despite the egg foo young mishap, I would absolutely come back to reorder some favorites and try something new. Great flavors, friendly service, and a comfortable vibe make it worth another visit. read more

Got to try takeout from Chino Yang's and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Ordered their dry sautéed string beans and their hunan style twice cooked pork. Flavor is solid! The twice cooked pork is tender and very flavorful. The peppers go nicely with it and has a nice kick of spice - one of the best versions of this dish I've had. Green beans were good as well. Pickup was smooth and portions were good size. Would definitely get again! read more

Ordering at Chino Yang's was hard because every dish looked so good. And even after dining here, I'm still excited to come back and try other Hunan dishes. price: ~$20/person - Dry Hot Pot: Comes with various veggies and your choice of protein. The lamb that we ordered was tender and tasted fresh. Needs to be paired with rice because it's so spicy and oily. We demolished every bite aside from the peppers. Ordering is quick and easy via QR code! Good for smaller groups and even takeout seems popular. read more

Food (5/5): Very, very solid, probably one of the best I've had for this type of Chinese cuisine. The menu has a very wide variety of Chinese foods, from very traditional to more Western influenced. We ordered Beef & Lamb Skewers, Mapo Tofu, and Honey Walnut Shrimp. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was the standout. Ambiance (3/5): Definitely leans more hole-in-the-wall-y, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing! Most restaurants in this area feel like this, so I'd say this is pretty average. They have a HUGE space upstairs though, so seating is very ample all around! Service is good and fast, but beware servers don't speak the best English. Value (5/5): Great bang for your buck for the amount and quality of food that you're getting. Portions are very generous, we spent ~$30pp for 3 entrees for a party of 2. Overall: Would definitely come back, and one of my top 2 Chinese restaurants in the area now! read more

High quality Chinese food. The General Tso's chicken was legit good. They have a very expansive menu. They do standard Chinese dishes along with spicy Hunan style, which is probably why a lot of real Chinese people come here. . Definitely worth checking out. read more

Best food in town, great service, didn't take long to get our food 100% recommended. Also very clean

Came here with several friends for a special event on a Thursday night, and we are thankful we reserved in advance since the restaurant was crowded and had plenty of people waiting outside around the time we left. Beef Fish Fillet: tender, flavorful, spicy but good balance Hunan Fried Rice Noodles with Pork: personally my least favorite and the seasoning was okay Sizzling Japanese Egg Tofu with Minced Pork: This was almost everyone's favorite dish! The tofu was soft and silky, and the pork was rich and savory. All the ingredients stood out well in this dish. Hunan-style Twice-Cooked Pork: strong spicy-salty kick! Garlic Lettuce Stem: I loved this vegetable choice our group made since it balanced the richness and spiciness of all the other dishes. read more

This was our first visit, and we'll be back. Great Hunan food. We tried 3 dishes: Chili dry fried chicken (boneless) this was good but if I were to get it again I suspect the bone in would be more juicy Mashed eggplant with green peppers and a century egg - this arrived with a big mortar and pestle for us to muddle. Though it took a little work, the eggplant and other veggies looked beautiful--if they had been mashed for us we would have not seen the colors as much. We really enjoyed this dish. Unlike the other two, it was not spicy. Minced pork with pickled long beans. This was our favorite dish. For less adventurous eaters, there was a second menu with "Classic Chinese Food" With things like twice cooked pork, dumplings, etc. read more

First time and all the dishes hit good. Service was fast and friendly. Place is kinda small so I wouldn't recommend a big party. Will go back and try more dishes read more

Delicious meal overall. Honestly we made the mistake of ordering everything hunan style so everything had the same flavor profile but it was still great. I do recommend the mashed eggplant with green pepper and century egg as my favorite! Server opted to let us mash it which was pretty cool. The cumin lamb comes in as a close 2nd as I need my protein. So much ingredients and flavor went into it was perfect and especially if you love spicy food. Only issue was that the ribs were overcooked and a little dry but other than that, may have to come back to try some of their other non hunan dishes. read more

Fantastic neighborhood spot for Chinese food. The hunan specialty dishes pack so much flavor in every bite! Garlic cumin spare ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, and the fish was perfectly crispy. Both had a nice kick from the chilis without being overly spicy. Honestly drooling just writing this ... read more

Ordered the chili chicken wings with bone in. It looked like I would need some yogurt to put the fire in my soul out but it was pleasantly hot and tasty ! Chino looks skinnier and younger than his YouTube Rap video. He was welcoming and really interesting to speak with. He jokes with his customers and describes his food with great fun and flair! His words; " I'm bringing back great Chinese food to the masses." He is intensely aware of his culture, the youth, and the working people of this city. He wants to make it better. Check this restaurant out and you will not be disappointed! read more

If Chino Yang's had been around after an epic night at Plough & the Stars I might not have made out with a guy from Dentsu Japan: I would've been eating drunchie fantastic food from Chino Yang's, open late for late night cravings. I wanted to be surprised so I didn't ask about the preparation of Peking Pork Chops ($15.50). I popped open the container and took a bite- scallopini'd pieces of sweet & sour pork goodness (you must get!) Prawns with string beans ($17.95, with lots of big, plump, delicious shrimp), perfectly wok-tossed and crunchy with just the right amount of oil. The Sichuan peppercorn-infused steam from Mapo Tofu knocked me back and I did a happy dance for the mala taste to come ($15.50). Everything was great but I have a preference for the way Chino Yang's sister restaurant Kung Food prepares its chicken fried rice. I like thin, juicy slices of chicken; Chino Yang's dices it and it tastes dry. Make it like Kung Food! "Red" is the color theme of Chino Yang's which will not only wake you up but if behavioral science holds, encourage you to eat more. Hey, you're in the right place: Order a lot of food, eat well and have leftovers for breakfast. read more

Weekday dinner with friends in SF! Heard about this spot for authentic Hunan food, so we had to try. The smoked beef and ribs were flavorful and unique. Must-tries: sour long beans with chicken gizzards (perfect with rice!), stir-fried beef with sirloin (tender and real quality), and the classic couple's beef & tripe. Spice level is lighter than traditional Hunan--my Cantonese friend found it spicy, but I thought it was just right . The owner is super friendly and makes you feel at home! read more

Quality/Quantity - Soup - Complimentary - If you are following, you know I am not a soup person, but this was good. I especially liked the plump generous size mushrooms. Chef's Special, Cumin Lamb - Wow, this was so good and with just the correct amount of spice. Good enough heat that does NOT hurt, but enough that keeps you coming back for more, lol. Generous portions, took half of it home. Both my guest and I could not stop eating this. Pickled Vegetable & Pork Noodle Soup - You get a choice of rice or flour noodles. My guest chose flour, which just happens to be my preference also. The waitress suggested we get mild, good suggestion. Just the correct amount of spice for this dish as well. The dish was interesting and good, but not as good as my above choice. Lots of different flavors and textures from the fresh crispy veggies to the peanuts, etc. We each got a small bowl. Take a look at our leftovers, it looked like we did not even eat a bite. The cumin lamb was just so good! Complimentary hot tea - Good. Atmosphere - Small local business, actually Chino's second one; congrats. Plenty of street metered parking, but we just walked. Open 6 days a week from 11am to 9:30pm; closed Wednesdays. Service - 5 stars. From greeting to checking up on use. They made sure restaurant was not too cold for my guest, closed the front door for her. They also gave good food suggestions. Even packaged my guest's leftovers for her. Then the bill came, and there was a discrepancy; the check did not match the menu price... Why is this happening SO often? She sincerely apologized for the owner, and corrected it immediately. In my opinion, this is exactly how employees should be trained. See my 3 star Linda Patria, Vallejo, CA Yelp review and let me know if you feel they handled it correctly?!?! And if my rating was accurate? Price - $41 + tip. 5% cash discount. Owner Comment - I appreciate it when 5 star businesses live up to their ratings. Even when "things" happen, like pricing discrepancies. It is not what happens to us, it is how we handle it and what we do about it. Congrats on your success at this location since October of 2024 and your Kung Food location since 2015. We will be regular customers. read more

Chino Yang's is open and we decided to come by and support a newly opened neighborhood business. Owner of this business is same as Kung Food. He's a local restaurateur and a Rap Artist who famously put out a diss track aimed at the SF Mayor for failing to protect the Asian-American community. Coincidentally, on the eve we were at Chino Yang's, we leaned from watching a news clip that a legacy business, El Faro (a famous Mexican taqueria that were granted legacy business status just a few months ago) had three break-ins within a span of a week amassing $20K in losses. And now they are looking to sell. Makes one wonder. All that aside, our experience at Chino Yang's was great! The owner, Andy Yang himself served us on the eve we visited. Because it was soft opening, we got some complimentary dishes like the delectable chow mein (we requested with veggies because we were ordering a lot of meat dishes already). And he also gave us a small appetizer of salt & pepper chicken wings (4 pcs) that was so crispy and delicious. For mains, we opted for the cumin beef, broccoli beef, and shrimp with egg. And an add of white rice. My husband thought the broccoli beef was not very salty yet still flavorful which he appreciates. We thought the cumin beef has the heat and tasted great. And although the shrimp and egg were slightly saltier, it was also delicious. I have to mention that all the portions were huge. We had a lot of leftovers for a few meals afterwards. Ambiance and service friendly. Located on Clement between 19th and 20th Avenues. read more

It was late and we were going to hit up this pub on Geary, but we weren't even greeted at the door by anyone. We felt so unwelcome that we left. I don't think I've ever felt so out of place. Almost like landing on another planet! Went back on Yelp and found another late night spot, Chino Yang's! They're open till midnight and only a 10 minute drive away. We jumped back into the car despite not knowing what to expect, but we were greeted warmly by Jamie. Such a different experience from earlier when we were completely neglected! Chino Yang's just opened 10 days ago by her cousin. He had another restaurant but the window kept getting smashed so he moved the restaurant here in the Richmond, but it's been slow. Hopefully, word will get out about their delicious food! ***OUR PICKS*** COMBINATION PLATE APPETIZER ~ Egg rolls, wings, crab rangoon, potstickers. Everyone dug right in and it was gone before I could take a shot! 5/5 GREEN ONION PANCAKE ~ that was gone too! 5/5 BASIL EGGPLANT WITH CHICKEN AND PRAWNS ~ Seasoned well and tasty. Eggplant was a bit undercooked, but chicken was tender. 4/5 STRING BEANS AND BEEF ~ flavorful dish and a generous portion. 4/5 KOREAN CHICKEN WINGS (10) ~ honestly one of the best chicken wings we've had. We have gone to Korean restaurants that don't even serve wings as good as these. They were big, juicy, and still crispy even after coating it in sauce. And the sauce wasn't too sweet. Just perfect! All of us LOVED the wings!!! 5/5 CHICKEN CHOW FUN ~ this dish was complementary, nonetheless a good dish, though just a tad oily. 4.5/5 While sitting there, we got to know Jamie. She made all of us feel at ease and comfortable making our experience even better. She showed us a music video of her cousin rapping about his restaurant, which was vandalized on McCallister and Divisidero. Hopefully he has better luck in this area. We're glad we decided to try Chino Yang's! Cant wait to go back for more wings and also try other things on their menu!! read more

Food is decent but the service is bad. I ordered a takeout recently and only 2 out of 4 dishes were delivered to me. They forgot to give all 4 dishes to the DoorDash driver. After calling them, they said they were going to refund me but never did. Very disappointed and would not order again. read more

Underwhelming. Nothing to bring me back after 2 entrees. Just another ordinary Chinese restaurant.

I was in the neighborhood and found Chino's with the help of Yelp. Chino was super friendly and provided great customer service. I tried a few dishes from the salt and pepper chicken wings to the steamed dumplings that Chino said were handmade in the restaurant to the beef chow fun. All were tasty and I enjoyed the dumplings the most. The restaurant had a cool and colorful vibe and I thought the use of the vinyl record albums as interior design was creative. read more

New restaurant in the area! We had a late dinner and the only restaurants that are open during that time was limited. Chino Yang's is good comfort Chinese American food for a midnight, late dinner. The portion sizes are quite large (love that). Nothing really stands out in particular, but it hits the right spot for late night dinner. read more

I like going here because the food is great and comes out of the stove really fast. The owner is awesome

Chef Chino is very personable. We ordered for take out over the phone. Ordered 4 dishes and rice: combination Won Ton soup had a nice broth but the won tons were very doughy. We ordered beef chow fun but when we arrived were told they did not get their noodle order but offered to substitute thin rice noodles. We were told it would be spicy. It was not. It ended up being spaghetti and not very fanciful. The Hunan crispy dragon beef was not crispy more like dry beef. The chili dry fried fish fillet was nice and salty but not very spicy. It was my favorite of the 4 dishes. When we got home we discovered they forgot the rice. The menu is quite extensive I think they would be well served by condensing the menu so they can be more focused on making the dishes that they do offer the best they can make. read more

Came here on an evening after walking around Golden Gate Park, they're pretty nearby so if you're looking for a good spot to eat after I'd recommend it! Food(5/5): we got the squid and lamb with chili and both were really good! Both were flavorful and not too spicy. The squid was really tender compared to other restaurants! Service(5/5): service was lively and friendly, the owner gave everyone in the restaurant a chicken wing to try out and it was really good and crunchy. We did make a reservation beforehand but still had to wait a bit but it wasn't a long wait so it was ok. I think it's more of a waitlist but I definitely recommend joining before heading there since the restaurant is small and busy. Ambiance(5/5): it's really lively and seems groups / family come here to have dinner. Everyone is chatting and enjoying food. read more
