this place got lung in the name because those 2 bad boys will be working overtime!!! ungodly amounts of oil and wok hei will be skedaddling down your throat and you WILL like it. you will like it so much you won't even notice the 15% service charge they add to your check (i was gonna take off one star for that but hey hustlers gon hustle) in bum nowhere of san bruno. random plaza. look for the line of judgy ai yis. or the tormented pensive dishwasher aunty in a wrinkled plastic apron, squatting outside, on her break, listening to croony sleazy chinese music on 1500000 decibels. service is fast, using paper signup sheet got the braised beef wonton mein, salty fish fried rice, century egg congee, + sugar ball thing: congee is culturally correct of course. perfect texture, not too salty, great eggs, green onions on top, super comforting and homey and yum. douse in white pepper and dip your you tiao in it. UGHHH yes bro fried rice is GOOD i haven't stuffed that in my mouth since like 5 yrs of age. i love the little salty pieces and also the yummy rice and all the oily fish. wonton mein is delicious. super tender beef, bouncy firm noodles, msg laden soup. wontons are too small but cooked well and very flavorful. sugar ball is COLD and sugary and fried. idk it wasn't my thing. it has a custardy dough center that tastes nasty to me also everything is lowkey overpriced but i would say it's generally worth it. HAIL HONG KONG AND GUANGZHOU!!! read more

I ordered the yellow-feather chicken and char siu rice, and the overall experience was very disappointing. I waited about 40 minutes for my food. Several customers who came in after me had already received their congee and other dishes, while my order still hadn't arrived. When the food finally came out, the char siu was extremely dry, tough, and overcooked. After waiting that long, I was expecting much better quality. The service timing and food quality both need serious improvement. Definitely not the experience I was expecting. read more

Hing Lung - Chinese Near Me - San Bruno, California

Disappointed! Wrong Item Given. I ordered the 牛利酥 (Fried dough with sweet crispy), but the restaurant gave me 油條(Crispy fried dough) instead. These are two completely different items. What makes this more disappointing is that this is not the first time this has happened. I specifically ordered the 牛利酥, yet I received the wrong item again. I hope the restaurant can pay more attention to customers' orders and make sure the correct items are given. I would really appreciate better accuracy in the future. read more

Hing Lung - Chinese Near Me - San Bruno, California

If i could sum it up in one word it would be... Regular. Regular as in nothing special. If you've had Chinese you've had this place's too. It's new to the plaza so we had to try it out, but left woth full tummies and nothing really to wrote home about. For the price and food quantity it was very on par amd reasonable. read more

The ultimate Hong Kong style comfort food can be found here! I'm a big fan! :) Pork spare ribs clay pot - On the bottom of the pot, the crispy rice formed. Make sure to ask for hot tea or water, so, you can eat it like soup. Just like what mom used to do when we were itty bitty people. :) Curry chicken - the dish is huge! Loved it. :) Beef stew with rice noodles - wow, this is so good. :) Deep fried bread (haem jiim beng) - I grew up eating this sweet bread and its always best coming out of the fryer hot! This one was good enough. Its casual Chinese food dining. If you're craving Hong Kong style dishes, this is your place! read more

I had the best Beef Brisket with Radish dish here. So tender and meaty. The place is small and noisy like most restaurants. Food is good, however hard to hear conversations with friends. read more

Hing Lung - Beef brisket, Singapore noodle, Beef soup - Chinese Near Me - San Bruno, California

I was really disappointed with my visit to Hing Lung. The you tiao was cold from sitting in the case all day, and when we asked for a hot one, they refused. Because it was cold, it ended up both soggy and dry at the same time. The juk was very bland with little flavor. The tomato beef was overly sour and dry, and the portions overall were quite small. The rice noodle rolls were too salty and greasy, and the chow fun was also excessively greasy. read more

Overall, most of the food here was good and at a reasonable price (~$55-$60 for 3 people). The options capture the essentials of Cantonese cuisine, and certain items are definitely made well. What we got: 1. Sampan congee (3/5) -congee mixed with various seafood items -the texture of the congee was smooth, and tasted good after adding salt and pepper -traditional Hong Kong style dish that came in a sizzling clay pot -there could have been more seafood added in the portion 2. Rice noodle roll with braised beef brisket (5/5) -this was the best item we tried!! -super tender beef that melts in your mouth -the sauce was rich, flavorful, and the rice rolls soaked in all the flavor from the beef -the rice rolls could have been stir fried more for more texture but otherwise the beef brisket was so amazing -highly recommend and would get this again! 3. Steak with black pepper (4/5) -came out sizzling hot in a clay pot -comes with amazingly flavorful black pepper sauce that has a strong black pepper taste yet somehow does not taste burnt or overly spicy -the beef was not very tender though, and was a bit chewy -best to eat while hot and do not take it to-go The restaurant was also so kind to give us and all other patrons a Chinese New Year gift! We got a free cup/plate/spoon set in a box just for dining in! We went on Chinese New Year day. read more

Hing Lung in San Bruno, same plaza as Lowes's continues to deliver on Cantonese staples. The restaurant is light and bright. It's a popular place so be prepared to wait for a table. Probably best to call in your order for pick up. But I don't mind the 15-20 minute wait as I'll take this opportunity to run over to Lowe's or Lucky's across the way. I still order the sides GARLIC PEA SPROUTS or PUMPKIN W/SALTY EGG YOLK but with cold weather on us, been ordering CONGEE (JOOK) W/PORK & THOUSAND YEAR EGG and/or RICE NOODLE ROLL W/BRISKET. If eating in I'll also order CLAMS IN BLACK BEAN SAUCE! Their wok-Fried dishes, especially noodles are spot on. The staff is brisk and efficient. See you there! read more

Great no frills Cantonese spot! Would reorder the following: Singaporean Style Noodles - not overly greasy like some places, really liked this. Fried dough w/ sweet crisp - one of the few places in the bay area that I'm aware sells this, goes great dipped in your porridge! Homemade meatball porridge - the pork meatballs they make in house are a favorite of mine! All their porridges are delicious. Rice noodle roll with braised beef brisket - first time getting this and the brisket was tender and the sauce on rice rolls is very tasty. Pork liver stir fried with ginger and green onion - great wok hei and have ordered this many times since it's consistently good. The rice noodle roll w/ chinese fried bread was kinda cold, so not sure if I would reorder this but it's been good in the past. The service is okay but the prices for the quality of the food are pretty good for the bay area. It really hits the spot for comforting cantonese food. read more

Automatic 15% service charge on the bill means we won't patronize this place again. Almost didn't see it and tipped another 15%.

This still is the spot we love to pop into even though the service is your typical chinese restaurant where they ignore you and are a bit rude. hahahah. It's a hole in the wall but the food is good. Prices have gone up considerably but I think that might be just how 2025 and the future might be for a bit. We just ordered the rolled noodles with beef stew and it's still as good as it was all those years ago even though the price went up and the portion is smaller. Will be back if we're craving something specific but for the size of the portions and the service we can prolly find another spot to go to instead. read more

Updated review: they reopened in the same plaza, a few doors down. Even though they no longer have a deli area next to the entrance, the food is just good as I remembered it. I recommend trying the Stir Fry Beef Noodles, the Chinese donut, and the Fried Dough with Sweet Crisp (ngau lei so), which is a unique pastry that I haven't seen anywhere else in the Bay Area. The sweet fried dough makes it sweeter than a regular Chinese doughnut, and makes it a bit crispier. Just as crowded as ever for seating, so I recommend calling in your order for to-go pickup. read more

Best place for good comfort food! We always come here for their fresh pork liver porridge! It's a must! It was my first time trying the beef chow fun here. I usually don't like ordering this dish anywhere but my friends wanted it and surprisingly it had such great wok energy! It was probably one of the best beef chow fun I've ever had! None of the food here ever disappoints! The service is a hit or miss but it hasn't been too terrible to the point where I don't want to come back. read more

The wife wasn't feeling well so in order to heal the soul, porridge is the way to go. I was recommended this place by a former colleague who mentioned their porridge was great. I don't eat porridge often, usually when really under the weather so I'm fortunate to not gone to get some in a while. I called my pickup order since I didn't see an online option. The store front is Ichi Ramen so it's confusing in case you get lost in the busy plaza. I ordered shrimp, fish and plain porridge (congee) along with beef chow fun. 4 dishes total. Total came out to under $60 and it was a heavy bag! The porridge has a nice thick consistency without being runny. It had flavor to not need seasoning and surprisingly large portions of seafood. The chow fun was decent but I've definitely tasted better. Kinda pricy at $18 though the beef slices were big. I appreciated it wasn't as oily as other chow fun I've had so easy to eat without feeling kinda gross after. Solid value, good food, and worth a rec for porridge. All in all, I'd definitely return. 4.5 stars. read more

I like this place for congee and Chinese comfort food. This place stands out for congee because they serve it ripping hot (literally boiling in front of you on the table) in a clay pot. For some proteins, it is advisable to get an extra bowl to remove the protein as it will overcook in the crazy hot congee. The sliced beef congee comes out perfect so they must either add it to the hot congee rare or even raw so it ends up cooking perfectly. The friend Chinese donut was crispy and airy, slightly oily so fryer oil may have needed to be hotter and fry cook need to slow down and let oil temp recover. Place does get busy quick and may need to wait for a table though. read more

We came here for dinner, and ordered these dishes: H.K. style beef chow fun, Water spinach with fermented tofu in broth, Pork liver with ginger and onion, and Hainan style chicken. Everything tasted great, and I highly recommend trying the Pork liver with ginger and onion! I don't see this dish on other restaurants' menus, and they did a really good job preparing it. They got rid of the bloody smell from the liver really well, and the seasoning was spot on. The texture was tender and slightly crunchy, and it paired perfectly with the ginger! read more

But watch ur bill because they added 15% tips on the bill. Don't double tip especially if you paid by credit cards.

My mom wanted to try this place because her friend recommended it. I was thrown off by the Ichi Ramen sign that's still up when we arrived. It was quite busy on a Sunday afternoon. We ordered takeout and it took over 30 minutes to get our order. The worker felt bad and gave us a sugar egg puff on the house. The food was just okay. The fried rice and chow fun lacked wok hay, so I was a bit disappointed. Portions are decent and prices are average. read more

Unique rare food items in North America. Good quality and worth to try ox tongue donuts among other items.

You know the congee is good when it comes out piping hot with bubbles! It was not too thick nor too watery! The eggplant was also delicious! It's slightly spicy but definitely less than mild spice. It comes with fish filet as well! read more

Good Chinese food! We very much enjoyed everything we got. Jook with Pork and Thousand Year Old Egg to start. It came out bubbling hot and warmed us up on a cold evening.

There was a long line on a Friday night at about 7pm so expect to wait. read more

The food is amazing, the congee came out boiling and perfect. The fried dough rice rolls were delicious and crispy and still a little crunchy. Don't expect the kind of service that comes every minute to check on you, it's very efficient, they want you fed and out. You don't have to believe me about how good it is but you can tell this place is legit because all the elderly Hong Kong folk come right as they open to get their breakfasts. read more

No frills. We only get two things: crispy noods and beef brisket rice rolls. The former isn't the best I've had but gets the job done: flavorful, lots of toppings, and nice "gravy" sauce. The latter though, delicious. Love the rice roll texture, softness melt in your mouth (80% of the time) meat. It does get heavy and tiring after eating half though, but leftovers microwaved the next day is just as good. Service is typical at these establishments, took a bit to flag down to order & get the check but that's what I expected. read more

DON'T LET THIS RESTAURANT RIP YOU OFF with its deceptive mandatory 15% service charge. Look carefully at your receipt. I didn't notice the 15% service charge line item included in the TOTAL and wrote in an additional tip on the credit card charge slip since it contained the usual suggested tip totals and a line to enter a tip. We've been regulars for years and never noticed this dishonest practice until I read some of the reviews. We don't need to go back. read more

I have never been to this restaurant much Less heard about it but had lunch there twice in one week on the recommendation of friends. And this place did not disappoint. Both times we ordered the braised string beans with spicy pork, the brisket with cartilage and rice rolls and the tomato beef geen mein. Loved all those dishes. Lots of brisket over savory sauce. The noodles were Crispy and the beef was plentiful in the tomato beef. We also ordered the preserved egg and pork jook - very hearty comfort food. We also had the spicy salt filet of fish. Very crispy and very generous in portion size. We also had one of their breads to dip in their jook - thick and dense bread. We enjoyed it. We also had the salty fish fried rice - Not too much salty fish.

It feels like you are eating in HK, it gives the same atmosphere and vibe! The food came out really fast, and was all sizzling hot, expect for the chinese donut which could have been heated up. The food was all delicious, they have authentic dishes here that can be hard to find at other HK style restaurants. The sausage in the clay pot was kind of salty, but everything else was great. It is more on the average-more expensive side, but dishes are large portioned and very shareable. read more

Hing Lung - The bbq menu - Chinese Near Me - San Bruno, California

If your looking for some good Cantonese style food, Hing Lung in San Bruno hits the spot! It will be hard to find, as the store front signage states Ichi Ramen, which was the previous establishment. Now onto the good, everything we ordered was delicious and very fresh (minus the sweet fried bread, as it wasn't crispy as it was made in the morning). The salted pork meat patty Claypot rice was delicious, although the rice wasn't crispy as it should have been. Seemed as if they rushed when cooking the dish, so the rice didn't come out crispy. The combination pan fried noodle was delicious, crispy noodles with a good amount of meat, seafood, vegetables, all topped with some delicious sauce. This was yummy! The salt and pepper calamari was delicious, perfectly fried, and good flavor! Need to eat this fresh, when crispy, so good! The string bean chicken was decent, not the best, but still had very good flavor and a decent amount of chicken in the dish. The dinning room is very small, and limited seating, so get here early so that you can snag a table, otherwise the wait can be long. Service was decent, nothing special, not too attentive. Overall, the food is good, so it is worth coming here. :) read more

This restaurant offers consistent, good quality, Chinese food. They started from San Francisco's Chinatown and branched out into San Bruno and now in South San Francisco. You will see that the patrons are 90% Asian, which is an indicator that it is good home style Chinese food. You will not be disappointed in any of their dishes. A plus is that there is ample parking spaces in the San Bruno town Plaza read more

We encountered the rudest server, who wasn't assigned to our table, ever! We waited for nearly 30 minutes to get seated. Fine, every time we go here is a long wait. Took about 10 minutes for a server to come and take our order. They didn't have the duck so she said she when she head to the back, she'll put in the order if they had it. Then I asked her, if they don't have it what are you gonna put in then??? lol The rice roll doughnut was cold AF, and the doughnut was dry and cold, not even crunchy at all. And it was straight Soy Sauce, nothing sweetened about the sauce. The hainan chicken rice is not a hainan chicken rice dish lol it's straight up yellow feather chicken on rice with ginger scallion sauce on the side. They literally said that to each other when putting in the order lol And we ordered pan fried noodle, took 35 minutes for it to come out to only be Soy Sauce chow mein. lol Everything was tolerable up until... And out of the blue, the server who was behind the counter, with a black mask also who walks like a gangster, hunched over, for some reason, she tosses our bill with the receipt tray at my table. We didn't ask for the bill yet lol Completely outrageous. If you've ever been here, the food is nostalgic, but it doesn't always hit. They have a long line because they don't know what they're doing. So disappointing. read more

Wow, this place is really busy and really popular. It's a smallish café style restaurant, but clearly very popular as there were lineups throughout the afternoon. Add your name to the sign up next to the door and be prepared to wait a little. I wish they had a Yelp sign up system. We tried their famous Chinese donuts and pan fried noodles. The Chinese donut was too doughy and not crispy enough for my liking but I enjoyed the pan fried noodles which we ordered vegetarian. We also ordered the congee, which my parents absolutely loved. Service was Asian efficient, though the food took a long time to arrive on the day we visited. The restaurant was extremely busy and seemed to also have many takeout orders, so the kitchen was fairly backed up . But the portions were reasonable, particularly the congee, which was gigantic and came out hot steamy and bubbling. We left satiated and satisfied with our meal. Prices were ok; range as expected in Bay Area. There is plenty of free parking in the strip mall. read more

When food is normally cooked as other Cantonese restaurants, the service is very bad. The dining environment is also below average Cantonese restaurants. Except small table and very narrow spaces between tables, the noise level is very high. Also they charged tip for some of customers and asked tip again when paying credit card (see photo). At this point of time, I don't know how they decided who gets tip charged and who doesn't. My gut feeling is they may charge the tip if you are not Cantonese speakers. Or they thought you may not tip them. But in any case, customers should be informed and should not be asked for another 15 to 20% tip. The good thing for me is that I paid attention to the receipt and didn't give them another tip. But I am unhappy with this and will not comeback. I left at least 15% tips in all cases for all other restaurants(even the Poke store). I don't like this restaurant's practices of trying to get double tips. read more

Came here on a Sunday evening with my family after they were craving Cantonese food. The fam had raved about this place before so I was excited to try the food. We went around 5 pm and the restaurant had a good amount of seating and was still pretty empty but we noticed it was getting more crowded as it approached 5:30. The servers also quickly came to take our order. We ended up ordering quite a few dishes which were the rice rolls with beef brisket in clay pot, the fried rice noodles with beef and the eggplant and green bean stir fry. All the dishes were flavorful and, as we say in cantonese, the flavor of the wok flame was present. - Beef was very tender in the clay pot and as a fan of tendons, they did not skimp out on the selection of beef parts. - Rice noodles also had a good fry on them, although the beef could have been a tad bit more tender. - Eggplant and green bean combo was so good as those are 2 of my favorite veggies going to Chinese restaurants grow in up and the flavor of the XO sauce was present but not overly salty. Overall, I recommend this place if anyone is craving some good Cantonese/HK food! read more
