My friend highly recommended this place in the mission as one of her favorite places to get chicken wings so we decided to check it out for dinner on a Saturday night. We were seated immediately and looked through their extensive menu of classic to more unique Chinese dishes. BBQ Fried Rice - The fried rice was pretty classic in flavor, lightly savory from the soy sauce and mixed in with egg and BBQ pork. It was a good base to balance out the stronger chicken dish we got. Korean Chicken - Such a good deal, it was almost 12 pieces of chicken for around 10 dollars. It came out piping hot and the chicken had a great sticky sweet and sour glaze. It was tangy, savory and eating a lot of it does become pretty heavy. Overall, a very no frills place near Valencia worth checking out if you're looking for a good deal on some solid Chinese dishes. read more

Heung Yuen Restaurant - BBQ Fried Rice, Korean Chicken - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

There is a place which is possibly one the most underrated places to grab Chinese food in San Francisco. One thing about the Mission when it comes to restaurants is that there are always new ones but they come and go. This place has been a neighborhood staple for four decades and many different generations have enjoyed eating at this Mission District institution. It also introduced KFC ( Korean Fried Chicken) decades ago to the Mission and it has one best place to get chicken wings in San Francisco. On a Mission District stroll in the Spring time I walked through memory lane . There are a few restaurants that are built to last. When it comes to Chinese food Hueng Yuen is the restaurant symbolizes the Mission District. I ordered the KFC ( Korean Fried Chicken) boneless wings with some chicken fried rice. The KFC boneless wings alone are a bit too sweet if you don't have a sweet tooth and also a bit savory but the best way to eat it is to pair it with some chicken fried rice. These wings are soft and are tender and have lots of flavor. Make sure you use lots of napkins because the sauce of the chicken can get very gooey and sticky and give you sticky fingers ( no need to dine and dash, the price is a bargain). Other plates Don Juan enjoys are the here is the Mongolian beef and the Chef's Special Chow Mein. This is a cheap and cheerful place and a legacy business in the Mission District of San Francisco. Non locals and social media" invaded "San Francisco with a narrative of the usual suspects for the best chicken wing spots that are now highly "debated" but these wings here should get highly "graded" because they are very "underrated" When it comes to the best wings in San Francisco Hueng Yuen should be part of the "conversation"they earned alot Mission District respect and "admiration " these wings and Chinese food has been enjoyed by the old and new "generation" Hueng Yuen has delicious chicken wing flavor which are "Asian" read more

I heard a lot of good things about the Korean Fried Chicken here so I decided to order one order on the way home from work. Inside the restaurant, it looks like what you would expect from a classic Chinese restaurant. They were quick with my order and had it ready by the time I arrived. The portions are big. It overfilled the to go box. And by the time I got home, the chicken was still hot and the chicken still crispy. Flavor was delicious. Slightly sweet, slightly spicy. There were about 10 medium to large wings in the order I was very happy with the food and would definitely come back especially for the fried chicken wings read more

I was recommended this restaurant specifically for their Korean Chicken. We ordered takeout at the restaurant and received it surprisingly quickly in about 10 minutes. It smelled so good, it was challenging to not eat it while on the bus. It was about $14 for 10 wings/drumsticks so I'm quite satisfied with the portions. The chicken is devastatingly delicious. 45 minutes later, it was still hot and crispy while being covered in a sweet, salty, spicy, and garlicky sauce. This chicken is so good I still think about it. read more

Heung Yuen Restaurant - Combination chow fun - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Upon arrival they seat you and give you a menu and it has a lot of classic Chinese dishes for such reasonable prices. We got their 8 piece potstickers for appetizers, which you can immediately tell how fresh and thoroughly pan fried they were opposed to other places reheating frozen dumplings. Their Korean chicken was delicious...it was crispy and marinated with their sweet spicy glaze. Lastly, their BBQ pork fried rice was good but the main star was the chicken we ordered. I appreciate how abundant and generous their portions are, typical family style size. The time we went they seemed to be short staffed as a majority worked in kitchen so expect slow service when asking for to-go boxes and the check. However they were nice workers and will put the leftovers in the boxes for you as opposed to you doing it yourself, which was nice. Would come back again, solid place, solid taste. read more

I was in the city to do some work and I don't know much the restaurants around the Mission area and asked my supervisor what was good around there. She mentioned this place and it was literally a block away, so why not. I went around 11:30-12 and they only had myself and another person in the restaurant. It's a very small restaurant and seemed kind of cozy to me. The man at the register was super friendly and nice and very helpful with the menu. I decided on the lunch combo C. I got 1 veggie egg roll, Mongolian beef, with half fried rice and half chow mein. I decided to dine in and found a table up front to sit and eat. The food came super fast and was so hot! They said to try it with the chili oil and ohh man was that delicious! Everything was super flavorful and tasty! Next time I'm back in that area training, I'll be sure to stop by and try out some other menu items! read more

Solid 3 star Chinese restaurant in the Mission. We had expected to eat here at 7:30p but they were already closing so got take out. They were patient with us getting and order in and the food came out fast! They had run out of the salt fried chicken so we ordered the Korean fried chicken and the regular fried chicken. Both were fried well and crispy. The Korean one was just slightly spicy and not too saucy. The regular ones were nicely salted and flavorful and juicy. We also got beef chow fun which was just standard but satisfied the Chinese food craving. Lastly, we had the hot and sour soup which left a lot to be desired, not really flavorful and pretty watered down. Overall, I'd come for the fried chicken. It was delicious and well fried. I need to come back for the salt fried chicken. They also had some decent lunch specials. But probably would only do take out. read more

Been going here since I was 12, the food is amazing the people are nice! It's not a fancy spot but the food is so delicious.

$16.26 for 1 order of Boneless Korean Chicken is overpriced. The chicken is good quality, but still $16 before tip seems excessive. The fried rice & lo mein both have a dishwasher taste: do not recommend! read more

No doubt, the BEST Chinese food in San Francisco. Been eating here most of my life since the grandma used to be the hostess. The tall gentleman (grandson I think) knew my order anytime I went no matter how long it was between visits. They stop serving food for a break between 2p-4p which sometimes hinders me from going when needing to beat the commute. Food is always fresh, hot, fulfilling, and prices can't be beat. A lot of food! A lot of GOOD food. I usually get some form of chow mein, sweet/sour pork (the BEST), potstickers, and prawn fried rice. Yes, there is a nice amount of thinly sliced beef under the noodles in my pic. This place deserves high regard for the deliciousness they've brought to SF for decades. read more

My most favorite place to get Korean Chicken. I was very disappointed that I flew all the way from Houston to share some childhood memories with my daughter and though the hours on here says they are open until 8:30pm every day. We walked in there at exactly 7:30. The owner says "sorry we are closed. We close at 7:30". Then I explained I traveled and if I can order to go. He said sure. Believe me when I say that I, as well as my family, LOVE this place for their Koreanchicken. We took 4 orders to go . I was in heaven!!! read more

This place is so good!! As I am sure you will or have seen from the other reviews, the Korean chicken is so good. For sure a staple at the restaurant. Its very crispy and good when eaten hot!! We go here when we're in the city just for this so Korean chicken. We normally get the boneless chicken but we have tried their bone-in chicken as well and it is also very good. I, however prefer the boneless for this dish. I also really enjoy their Pork Fried Rice. It is very flavorful. You can't go wrong. This time we ordered the beef and broccoli. I tried a few pieces and it was pretty good. My partner liked them a lot (I'm not a beef and broccoli fan in general so...) I am looking forward to trying the shrimp with the Korean sauce and the magnolia beef!! Next time!! We always order to go. I've never been inside so not sure if dining in is an option or what the conditions are inside (sorry). read more

I ve been going here and taking friends and family for over 24 years. Sometimes even driving down to SF from sacto to eat there. We ALL loved this place. BUT NOW??? On June 9th we ordered alot of food from there. IT WAS SOOOO BAD, that I called down there to ask for the manager. I was told I can't complain about the facts that the order was so screwed up and the food was terrible. THEN I GOT HUNG UP ON. THEN CRAPPY YELP TOOK MY REVIEW DOWN. MAYBE THEY GOT PAID TO TAKE DOWN BAD REVIEWS... Anyways, never again at this restaurant. I will not take the chance of spending good money on a bad restaurant with no accountability. Can't believe I have to give them at minimum 1 star. read more

Terrible service. I called ahead and they told me it would be ready in 15. I arrive and i waited an additional 20mins. When my food was "ready" i repeated my order back to the lady. She said everything there, and tied the bag with a knot. I took the bag assuming my order was complete. I arrive home and i was missing an order. I got charged for it !! Im calling back and they do not pick up ! Do not trust them, if they tell you your order is ready. Check your order because they scamming. Booooo read more

Yummmm Korean chicken wings! Been coming here for years since I was young. Glad to see it's the same as before.

What is one to do when freshly arrived in a new city, craving for some of that taste from back home? Just find some local fare of course! For decent prices, I was able to satisfy some of that with my order from Heung Yuen. I tried the Protein Combo Plate C ($8.50) which lets you choose an assortment of items; a protein and a base. The soup never came, so I was a bit disappointed in that (possibly issue on delivery provider side). Otherwise, the egg roll was really crispy and tasty, just what I wanted, the dough was not too thick either. The boneless Korean chicken was reallyyyy good! Nice and crispy, with a bit of a body still and a good portion. Flavourful as well with a bit of extra sauce to use with the noodles. For the base, I got Chow mein with chicken and bean sprouts. It was supposed to be beef, although this was okay as well, pretty standard fare. Also got the BBQ Pork fried rice ($6.50) which isn't bad if you're looking for just something filling, as it is a decent size portion for this price. However, I would like more veggies, as the dish was just some bbq pork bits mixed in with a couple slices of jalapeno and fried rice. Overall quite decent, filling Chinese food! read more

My first time eating here, it's a "small" place but they have 2 round tables for a group of 6-8 people. Staff are nice and happy to serve us. I got the Combo C, which consist a seafood dish (under $13), I got the honey walnut shrimp, potstickers, and Chow mein. I enjoyed the Chow mein and potstickers, but I was a bit disappointed with the honey walnut shrimp, sadly I found the shrimp plain, with little to no breading or sauce on the shrimp, then again I'm not sure if they have a different style of making their honey walnut shrimp. I will say, the prices for the combos are good for the amount of food you get. I would come back again. read more

Korean chicken wings are their specialty. It's like honey candied deep fried wings. All the rest is just regular Chinese food. You want the Korean chicken wings.

Heung Yuen is still the same after all these years but now they offer 10% off with online ordering and the management has changed ownership but not the menu. This was my "hood" growing up. My mom managed the Filipino grocery store back in the late '70s and early '80s next door. We would order Heung Yuen's lunch specials at least twice a week when I helped my mom over the summers. Korean chicken was and still is very popular. This is probably their most requested dish! Haven't had anything elsewhere quite like it. We were in the area so I couldn't help myself. Heung Yuen will always hold sentimental value to me. I had to order some Korean chicken and shrimp! I placed my order online and you are given a number when you submit your order. Once you arrive, there is a man waiting at the window and brings your food to you due to social distancing guidelines. The new norm for now. I love sharing food stories with my kids as we ate these sticky sweet pieces of nostalgia. I've gotten them to appreciate food at an early age and now they have very mature palettes with a small taste of the Mission District. read more

TL;DR - Delicious!!! This is sort of a hole in the wall - you can pass by it everyday and never notice it. It looks super unassuming, hasn't been remodel, I think, ever? But wow, the food is super yummy and taste like if you were in Chinatown, not the Mission. I've ordered take out and eaten inside. I think they serve great, low-cost combo meals that gives you an entree and noodles or rice. I thought their fried rice was delicious, and they're known for their fried chicken. read more
