This place could easily be missed since the signage outside hasn't changed from the former ramen shop. Although not as clean like normal Chinese restaurants and it's pretty small in there, the food speaks volume to how authentic it is! The porridge is how it should be done even from Hong Kong. My experience is that the food is much better there than take out because they cook it to the perfect doneness. Our favorites have been the porridge's, stir fry liver, and braise pork trotter on noodle rolls. You cannot call in to reserve a table so just walk inside and write your name on the list. It's not a good spot for large groups read more

The worst customer service ever, I and my boyfriend walk in and waited in the front, and this waitress walked towards us, She didn't even say hi/ hello/ welcome or whatever, it was us that saying hi, and for 2 please, she replied with an unfriendly " pointing board on top of the chair saying write down your name and walk away! I'm a customer service myself, and if I ever react to anything close to the way treated customers I'm for sure I already got fired the first day I started. There was 2 guy with better responses and manner. The food was ok. Ambiance was ok. read more

When i heard Hing Lung re-opened, i was ecstatic! Since the old location in SF's Chinatown closed down, i haven't had congee for literally.....that long. Has it been 6 years already?! I came here with my cousin after work yesterday and for some reason it took us forever to find this place. Me: Where the hell is this place?! *check address on yelp again* Cousin: it says....we passed it?? Me: But we walked around this entire building!! Okay, suite P.....Suite P....heh...sweetpea. **Gets Closer to restaurant** Me: Dude, you stepped in dog shit! Cousin: OMG!! i was too busy looking for your damn suite P!!! Me: Yeah well clean that shit up or you're not getting into my car. __________________________________________________________________________ FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON, This place is called Ichi Ramen. At least that is what the sign outside says. So i guess its Ichi Ramen AND Hing Lung? I guess that explains the ramen that's on the menu... Anyway, we came at a good time because there was no one there so we sat immediately. The place was definitely nicer than the old run down location in Chinatown. This one was more modern, looked more like an Asian dessert cafe or an ABC Restaurant. **House Special Pan Fried Noodles - 4 Stars** Beautiful crispy golden fried noodles with bok choy, shrimp, mushrooms, calamari, fish, chicken smothered with a nice gravy. It was lacking salt but it was an easy fix + some hot sauce. i would order this again. **Fried Dough w/ Sweet crisp - 1 Star** Stale ass donut. The old location would make their donuts fresh. This tasted like it was left out from the day before. No thanks. **Shredded Pork and Preserved Egg Congee - 5 Stars** - Comes out in a bubbling Clay pot! so cute. The Congee is flavorful and the consistency was just like i remembered. their chicken Congee is not the same chicken though so thats why i opted for this choice. the portion is less too but i wont complain. **Service - 2 Stars** waitresses were very forgetful. they would forget something as soon as they walked away from the table. The place was packed by 6PM and although there were three waitresses, they were all overwhelmed by a full house. I also think they were short staffed in the kitchen because the food for the other tables took 30 mins to come out. Also....DID YOU SEE MY F*CKING GLASS OF WATER?! it was so gross it looked like they just rinsed the cup from the last couple of people and reused it. there was grease prints and shit floating in my water. needless to say we ordered a can of sprite. I think ill just come back for Congee and my pan fried noddles from now on and take my food to-go. read more

Hing Lung is disguised as Ichi Ramen, but don't be fooled! They do offer ramen here, but this place is known for their Cantonese comfort food. My favorite dishes are the beef stew clay pot and pork & preserved egg porridge with Chinese donut. The other Cantonese dishes I've tried here are also yummy, but the clay pot and porridge are absolute staples. Highly recommend the rice roll dishes as well! read more

I ordered food to go. There was not very busy around 11 am on Saturday. The waitress said it would take 20 minutes and I came back later and the food was not ready. It would take more than 30 minutes. The food is fine. The price is little reasonable. read more

It was crowded on a Friday early lunch. Comfort food if you're cantonese. Had the ground beef raw egg on rice - like I did when was a kid. I'm not in the neighborhood much but if I'm ever at Lowe's again, I'll come here for lunch. read more

Hing Lung - 免戰牛肉飯 - Chinese Near Me - San Bruno, California

Not the old Hing Lung in SF that I used to visit numerous times! We came again recently after a long plane ride from Europe. We ordered Chinese Donuts, porridge and sauce Chow mein. We used to love their Chinese donuts (the SF store) but the donuts this time were very doughy and didn't taste good. We couldn't even eat half of it. The porridge and Chow Mein were still good but not great. In addition, the price has increased quite a bit. read more

I never knew there was a place like this near the mall until my parents told me about it. I was confused by the name on the wall and the ramen sign hanging above it. There was quite a wait and with such a small space I don't really think this place is worth the wait. They have a limited menu, not all typical chinese food is available. However, they do have some ramen options. Some food that we ordered: -chinese donut rice roll -beef rice roll -pan fried noodle w/ honey beef -tonkatsu ramen Overall, I thought that the rice rolls weren't that good. I was actually very disappointed. The rice rolls were thick and chewy and the chinese donut was soggy. I'm pretty sure this was a lot more expensive than other places too. I would rather go to fat wong's kitchen. The quality is a lot better. The pan fried noodle was okay, I would say the beef was a little too sweet it got weird. This dish is supposed to be savory, not sweet. Lastly, the ramen was way too salty. The katsu was good though. I would say probably my most favorite part of our meal if I had to choose. read more

taste is good, but need to wait 38 minutes after ordering to get our food. service is ok but not great. 2nd hand smoke and non-pleasant smell. table small. if u want to wait 38 minutes to get food, just normal grade taste, not michelin star grade, then by all means. read more

I gave 1 star for the liver porridge. Service was terrible. Mushroom chicken clay pot was a wash out. No test on the chicken not the rice. They just put rice into a clay pot and top it with skinny no taste chicken. There were no burn rice in the bottle of clay pot. Table is sticky. read more

It's good food but it take too long! Only one chef cooking and one back up for prep!! Mostly you have to wait 40 mins or more.door open and wind blows everything off the table except the bbq duck and kungpao chicken.waitress not working fast enough to handle a busy restaurant like this..good luck waiting in line and get starving read more

Quick and delicious Hong Kong style food. Went to the chinatown location growing up with their porriages and fried dough with sweet crisp (always a must order) For the quantity and quality of food, the prices are worth it. We usually get Sampoon porridge (mixed seafood with pork and comes with peanuts on top), pork and preserved egg porridge, Thai style fillet of cod, a noodle dish and mongolian beef. All portions are pretty large and is enough for two meals. However, I've noticed that 2 out of the 6 times I've been there, the food was on the saltier side, the other 4 times were perfect. I guess it depends on how the chef is feeling that day. All in all, I love this place and am so glad they came back after leaving chinatown. I will be back for takeout soon! read more

Went around 7pm on a Saturday and no wait. We ordered string beans w minced pork, wasabi chicken, and rice noodle rolls w beef. Everything was super yummy but the rice noodles were a bit too oily for my liking. Food came out pretty fast too probably bc it wasn't too busy. The service is what throws me off but it's expected at this point. I've been here 5+ times and it stays the same. At least food is good. As for ambiance it's pretty loud and comforting, but the door kept opening wide open due to wind and made our food get cold faster. read more

This is supposed to be the same Hing Lung as the one in Chinatown. However, I found that it definitely does not taste as good. Perhaps it is due to being take out only during Covid. Portions are huge but the food just wasn't as good. Will have try again once done in is available. read more

Came here for the first time and did not know it was Hing Lung since the signage has not changed as it is Ichi ramen. It had been years since I had eaten at the Chinatown location on Broadway and Stockton. I came with my mom and was seated immediately. Their service as good and fast. We ordered the fish porridge, pork with thousand egg porridge. The the Singapore Curry rice noodle with bbq pork and shrimp. The porridge comes in a clay pot boiling hot which is a plus. It is one of the places that I have had the best porridge compare to other restaurants served in a normal bowl. The noodles was also good. My experience today was fast great service and good portions of Chinese comfort food. read more

Wow this place gets busy. What I tried: *fish fillet porridge *bbq pork *fried donut rice roll *sweet fried donut Overall thoughts: *I've only been here once and my friend took me insisting that its the best porridge he's had and he usually doesn't like porridge. I personally think that porridge can only be so good but was pretty content with the food here. *Service was typical Chinese Cafe. We were seated, no wait but no menus were given for a long time so I went to get my own. There was already a full restaurant on top of togo orders coming in so waitresses were busy. We were warned that porridge would take up to 20 mins since the kitchen staff just got there. It ended up being way longer but they gave us sweet fried donut on the house. *There is a good variety of porridges and other foods to order from. I was content with my porridge. It had a decent amount of fish too. Rice roll was also very good and smooth. *Price wise, this place is average. Not super cheap but not too expensive. *While we were seated, a waitlist was forming and the place was consistently busy. Not sure if I would be willing to wait so long but wouldn't mind coming back here. read more

Beef brisket is good and the Thai style sweet fish fillet is real good. I order Togo food all the time.

The waitress told me my credit card did not go through after dining at the restaurant on April 29th. My husband gave her another credit card for payment. On the following day, both charges appeared on my credit card and my husband's credit card. I am still dealing with the credit card dispute three weeks later! read more

My family is in love with the gnau lam cheung fun (rolled rice noodles w/ braised beef brisket). It's a must-have whenever we are in the Bay Area. Other favorites include the minced beef on rice, soy sauce chow mein, gai lan with cured meat, dow mui (pea sprouts) and all the congees. Don't be confused by the sign outside that says "Ichi Ramen." I think that must have been the name of the former tenant and they were too cheap to get a new sign. ;p read more

Food is yummy on the dishes we ordered. Tried their Salted Egg Pumpkin, Green beans with Minced pork, Preserved Egg with Lean Pork Congee, Beef Stew with Daikon, Chinese Donut, Beef Chow Fun all these are yummy. Few others dishes tried are ok. Will be back. read more

I love this place. Huge portions. Delicious. Go early and prepare to wait it out. My friend and I each got our own jook. Then shared the friend tofu. Tofu is legit. Get it. I always get the pork and preserved egg one. We also shared the "beef tongue" fried donut. It's sweeter. So with my leftovers I bought friend donut. Portions are huge though. If you wanna save money and not be a fatty. Share one of the jooks. Plenty for 2 people. read more

I absolutely loved my first few visits! The food tasted just like what I used to eat back in Hong Kong! However, the food quality keeps getting worse and worse every time I went back. Turns out they replaced their entire kitchen crew. I went around and asked if the old chef still cooks because the food was THAT GOOD, I figured that they now opened their own restaurant called Hing Lung Cafe that is located on 331 Grand Ave, South San Francisco, CA 94080. As expected, the food tastes great and I'm here to let you all know that. read more

This place knows how to do Cantonese and Hong Kong style dishes. This is why they are always constantly full and you'll see a lot of loyalists going here. My Chinese parents and their friends come here all the time. I think it's because they do very home style and comforting Chinese food. They do porridges very well. They're on the more chunkier side but they come in steaming clay pots. The most popular items are the fried donuts. That was a staple at their old location in Chinatown. They sell out of their fried donuts early in the day! Other dishes like fried rice and noodles are very traditional. They remind me of home and things my mom would cook. Don't expect amazing service as it is still a Chinese restaurant where they can be seemingly abrasive when they are super busy. This is my go-to for comforting Chinese food. Beware of long lines during lunch especially during weekend lunch time. As of 5/9/20 - They also opened up again and started doing pickup during this quarantine time! The wait time was almost an hour and they stopped taking calls before noon when I tried so call early! read more

Food was good but Service was typical Asian restaurants-lack service. I was in line waiting to pick up take out order. There is no organization at all within the restaurant. People after me cut the line to pick up their order. There must have been 3 other people waiting in the line. The waitress did not direct this patron to end of the line and helped her first. Anything goes! read more

Ichi Ramen... that's what the sign says in English. While many old time Chinatown businesses continue to close in San Francisco, a familiar face appears in sleepy San Bruno. The sign actually reads Ichi Ramen but the Chinese characters painted on the window reads "Hing Lung", yes the one that fed many neighborhood and casino bus passengers for decades on Broadway. Being a party of three, we were seated at a wall side table. After a moderate drive from St Helena, I was pretty famished and craving some traditional Chinese fare. My friend selected a staple, preserved egg and pork porridge (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Wk965hLWY0JsjEsoxVz3rw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), perfect for an overcast Sunday morning; the jook was perfect consistency wise and ingredients reasonably apportioned. He also order a double appetizer plate in the vegetarian goose and honey BBQ pork (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=FLDYaLVlK-iWivEldwHuPg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); both were good but the pork shined. His third selection was the beef brisket rice noodle clay pot (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=7lzMY7k0tbl-gMEG8qCAiw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), a hearty and substantial dish that defines Cantonese comfort food. To lighten things up, he added a dried scallop egg white fried rice (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=v-6bzj_2Cfj3zxzL-5pYJg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), a Hong Kong classic. My two choices were Hing Lung's staple rice noodle wrapped fried Chinese bread (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=4e_jz5e84RV0jlZh4TjAuQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); wish there was a little more soy sauce but flavors were there. To balance the meal, I noticed a menu photo of the water spinach with fermented tofu sauce (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=vo7UXu5JeMDtuPFzyO6twQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); a seasonal vegetable, it was perfectly cooked and not overpoweringly salty. You may ask, six dishes for how many people (3 by the way)? It was actually perfect since it gave us an opportunity to try more things; it helped that two were appetizers and one was basically a soup (porridge). My hosts kindly gave me the leftovers to bring home. The only tarnish to the meal is the table wait and congeniality were typical of Chinatown too. Puzzled by the business name, I took a while before deciding to open the door and join the waiting throng of customers. As I opened it, a mid 60's Asian lady sped in hoping to leave me holding the bag/door. As she tried to maneuver to the sign up list, I nimbly took a short cut in inking my name before hers. The next hiccup was my hosts didn't arrive when my name was called; I explained that they are parking and planned to order a few dishes so we didn't lose the table; guess other parties used this strategy so they reluctantly led me to a wall side table. After a few snarky remarks by the hostess, my hosts arrived and then all was good. Sad to say that their food tops most in SF Chinatown these days, given the changing demographics and business costs. It is probably just a notch below my other San Bruno porridge favorite on El Camino further South. Will be back, but will definitely try to avoid peak times here. read more

Every time I've ever gone here, I've never liked the service. I wouldn't even want to order to go here. The ladies working here seriously doesn't pass the vibe check. Even if the food was good, this type of service, attitude and atmosphere created by the workers would dilute even the more gourmet dish there is. 10/10, would not recommend. read more

Hung lung is open during COVID-19 for take out. The service is very quick and the portions of their meals are quite large. Hing lung is a local favorite with wait times of at least 30 minutes before covid. Now, you can get takeout within 10-15 min or ordering. I'd say that is definitely a perk! read more

Tbh, my mom crapped on this place so hard on our drive over here and maybe that's what helped with my rating. Located in San Bruno Town Plaza right near the Hawaiian place. Parking is abundant as it is in the plaza so don't even trip. The restaurant itself is small. Like, ridiculously small and kinda makes one wonder what would happen should a fire break out because they really attempt to use up every available space possible. Menu has quite a bit of selection in each category so I let my mom handle the ordering. I believe we got the beef porridge (super thick consistency), green beans, stinky tofu, and I forgot what else, but some of the dishes took a while to come out while others came out like it was already made just waiting for me to order it. Servers are okay. They talk more with each other than with the customers which isn't really a problem for me so long as they bring me my food. Food was pretty decent for what it was. And it wasn't pricey either which definitely helped the rating. Honestly it's just decent Chinese food which I would recommend, although my mom thought some food was bland... tbh I couldn't tell, but I was also very hungry so... read more

Been loving this place since they were in SF Chinatown and 19th St. they are famous for their porridge and other Canton food. Their porridge is way better than other places in Bay Area. My husband never liked to drive far just for food but this one is an exception, he is willing to drive from Danville to here just for their porridge. I wasn't a big fan of porridge's before but they changed my perceptive of this food. I hope they keep Ip their quality of food to make us keep coming back! read more

The food is ok, but the service is terrible. We had lunch here recently and they did not come by to refill drinks and even forgot one of the dishes we ordered (we had to remind them). Then to top off the bad service they demanded that we leave a tip. I'm sorry but "a tip is a voluntary amount left by a patron for an employee. A mandatory service charge is an amount that a patron is required to pay based on a contractual agreement or a specified required service amount listed on the menu of an establishment." That is a direct quote from California Labor Commissioner's Office. Beware of this place, I have already reported their practice to the proper authorities. read more
