Hot and delicious Jook congee and Chinese donuts you tiao on a foggy day. It's hard to find an authentic Hong Kong style café with won ton noodle soup, jook, and the barbecued meats. The salt and pepper tofu were absolutely delicious as was the bitter melon. The sweet ladies inside were most attentive and accommodating. There was a lunch rush, but otherwise the service was highly efficient. The restaurant is very clean but not fancy. There are several large round tables to accommodate 8 to 10 people and then other smaller square tables for 2 to 4. read more

Despite how often I find myself around here, I'd be lying if I had paid much attention to L H Restaurant in the past. In part, it's because I had no idea the old Five Happiness restaurant that used to call this place home had even closed, but, really, I just tend to forget about every restaurant on this block (save for Brothers Korean BBQ). That is, until we heard that they sell Chinese BBQ roast pork and roast duck here, which we're always on the lookout for! Compared to some of the other nearby Chinese restaurants, L H feels a bit bigger in size, but, outside of that, not much about it feels all that indistinguishable or notable. As for the menu, we knew we were going to be trying their Chinese BBQ, but it was nice to see that they have over 140+ dishes to choose from, even despite how it didn't seem like there was a specific signature offering or specialty. Still, with so many options available, it was nice to see just about every Chinese staple dish was accounted for and that there seemed to be something for everyone. -- THREE BBQ ITEM PLATE with Roast Pork, Roast Duck, and Char Siu The dish we came here for, but it was a mixed bag. The biggest issue for me was how everything was cool/room temp, but at least the Roast Pork wasn't bad - a touch underseasoned, but crispy-ish. The Roast Duck was also decent (albeit lean), but the Char Siu was a bit dry. -- BEEF STEW & WONTON NOODLE SOUP with Egg Noodles While the portion size was generous, nothing about this stood out. On the plus side, the wontons were fairly plump and the noodles had a nice bite to them. However, the broth wasn't very rich and several chunks of the beef stew were chewy/tough. -- TOMATO BEEF JI MIEN This didn't do much for me, but, to be fair, I'm not a big fan of the dish in general. Although it came with a generous amount of tomatoes on top, all of the sauce and everything didn't leave much crispiness to the noodles. -- BEEF WITH SCRAMBLED EGG OVER RICE I didn't have a ton of this one, but it might have been the best dish we had. Sadly, some of the rice felt a little firm, but the eggs were cooked exactly how I prefer for this dish and the slices of beef were actually surprisingly tender. Much like the food, the service here was fine, but it seems they may not be as generous as they used to be. While the workers were friendly enough, my relative, who comes here often and is the one who put this place on our radar, mentioned they no longer give free soup with their lunch plates and that the portions looked slightly smaller than he remembered. I personally can't say if that's actually the case or not, so take it for what it's worth, but I also don't have any reason to doubt him either. All in all, even though nothing about L H Restaurant, or their food, amazed us, I can't say anything specific failed us either. Rather, our visit just felt really lackluster and generic. If anything, the most notable thing about this place is how curiously early they close, even on weekends (closes at 7pm). Given all of that, I can't say we have much of a reason to come back, especially in an area like the Richmond where we really don't have to go far to find the same or better. TWO AND A HALF STARS rounded down. read more

Reasonably priced standard American Chinese restaurant. This place has its own roast meats. They are okay, not great, but they do have their own instead from another place. I had the 雙拼 & the meats were cold but otherwise fresh. read more

Ordered a half duck and a two meat combo box with more duck and the white chicken. Everything came cold. Not like lukewarm / room temperature. But actually cold from the refrigerator temperature. Also ordered the salt and pepper wings and the flavor was overwhelming of stale frying oil. No salt or pepper taste and all. Very disappointing. read more

Date: Sunday, February 23rd, 2025 Party of: 2 Meal: Late Lunch Delivery Time Ordered: around 3:15pm Time Arrived: around 30 mins later Delivered to: Outer Richmond Ordered via: DoorDash *燒味三拼/Together Three Items ($21.25) - 燒鴨/Roast Duck, 豉油雞/Soy Sauce Chicken , 貴妃雞/Kui Fei Chicken *燒味三拼/Together Three Items ($21.25) - 燒肉/Roast Pork, 叉燒/BBQ Pork, 燒排骨/BBQ Sparebis 28. 皮蛋瘦肉粥 / Porridge with Pork and Preserved Egg ($11.99) 119. 酸辣湯/Hot and Sour Soup ($12.50) 160. 春卷/Egg Roll: 6 ($8.75) *炒饭/Fried Rice: 1lb ($6.25) *炒面/Chow Mein: 1lb ($6.25) *Discount (-$13.63) The hubby and I were looking for a place to grab lunch. Since it was HH on DD and I've been wanting to try this spot, we decided to check it out. I got one of each meat they offered and tried their pei dan sau yuk juk. The hubs wanted a soup and carbs, so he added the rest of the items. The bbq meats meats were pretty good. Tho the empress chicken pieces we got were small and we got a lot of the butt / ends of the bird. The spareribs were kinda the same. Small and not meaty. Otherwise, the duck, soy chicken, and other two porks were a normal portion. The jook was okay. Not much flavor. I added more seasoning and another century egg to make it more savory. Other than the soup, most of the stuff the hubs ordered was not very good. The egg rolls were mushy inside. Why, we couldn't figure out. It was almost like they were filled with a paste. The chow mein was also sour. We couldn't figure that out either. I don't think it was bad as in spoiled, but we did throw this away. The chow fan was fine. Just very bland. I'd say stick to the meats and the congee and stay away from the fried rice and noodles. Glad we tried this during HH so we saved some cash. REVIEW #3714 read more

Ordered via Doordash for pickup. I order a whole roast duck. When I checked the order at the restaurant, I noticed the duck was plated rather messily in the box, but I did not consider the significance of it until I got home. The fact is, some pieces were missing. I ordered a whole duck, and just like a puzzle, you should (can) reassemble it. I suspect they combined leftover duck pieces from previous orders to make up mine so it would look "whole". That would save them from carving up a whole duck. Now, if this were a Too Good To Go order, I would understand since the idea is to minimize food waste, but this was a direct order for a full entree, so I expected a full entree. I felt a bit cheated. Flavor-wise, it was decent. Just be wary and check your orders. read more

This is a sit down restaurant, but they do takeout and that's what I got. It looks like they specialize in different meats, as you can see from the reviews. But they also have a full menu that looked interesting. This is a very authentic place. I didn't see a single white person in there. That usually means service that isn't up to the standards of some diners, very affordable food, and freaking AWESOME Chinese food. For $15 I got a big plate of food that included 2 meats, rice and basic steamed cabbage. I came at noon and the place was mostly empty. The meat was pretty cold, which could mean it was yesterday's meat or it could just be how things go when you have meat hanging by the window. Either way, it was delicious. I probably wouldn't come here as a dedicated trip, there are other takeout places nearby that have a variety of vegetables to choose from. But I plan on coming back for a sit down meal soon. read more

Formerly Five Happiness Restaurant, now it's a Chinese BBQ takeout & restaurant. Recently opened and newly renovated. You can do take out or eat in. We recently tried both. Firstly, the BBQ meats like roast duck, BBQ pork and Crispy roast pork are great. We also heard the roast chicken was great too but we haven't tried yet. It's also a tad less expensive than the prices on Clement St. A huge deal because of these inflation prices. Secondly, maybe they are still new and trying to find their sea legs, but their dim sum are not that great. Very thick skins and some of the dim sum tasted off. There are so many other dim sum spots on Clement that we would not recommend them for now unless you are adventurous like we were. Had good experiences doing takeout BBQ lunch plates and also gotten a whole roast duck (under $30) for visiting family, so we recommend that. Service was friendly and the ambiance lively. 3.5 stars rounding up. Conveniently located by the 38R and 38 bus stop on Geary Blvd and 6th Ave; next to the KFC/Taco Bell. read more

Returned again recently for the warm and friendly service and huge variety of menu items. We tried several new items, but the tastiest items on this visit were the Special Order of Tomato Beef Crispy Pan Fried Noodles, Salted Fish Fried Rice and Fish & Tofu. Portions continue to be quite large which is great for lunch and/or dinner the next day! YAY! :0) read more

Primarily directed towards the multiple item bbq combo over rice - Do not order the char siu here! You will get stale old pieces. Not sure if it's because I ordered through Ubereats and they needed to offset their fees by giving garbage parts, but this is unacceptable. If I wanted beef jerky, I would go to 7-eleven. They really skimped on the other meats too, so really suspecting the delivery orders get the low quality parts. Unfortunately, would not recommend this item unless you like to gamble on your food quality & portions. Other dishes I have tried are fine, but the combo rice plate is incredibly inconsistent (char siu) so cross your fingers if you are ordering this for delivery. read more

I am picky when it comes to roast duck! The only place I've had roast duck noodle soup is at Lam Hoa Thuan on Irving St. I live on 34th and Geary and don't really know where to get good roast duck noodle soup in the neighborhood. Well... I do now! Delicious, tender duck. Lots of bok choy with the noodles. The noodles could have been a little better quality but still were good. The waitress was fast and brought me hot tea right away. It's nothing fancy but it's good! read more

Feel like it's good to okay value at 15.75? Nothing too special - duck pieces were too meat and the cha siu pieces weren't particularly juicy but they weren't dry either. Restaurant was dead at 5pm on a Sunday but it probably one of the cleaner if not the cleanest restaurant in the area. I feel like they do more catering/ take out orders than not. I'd probably order again from them esp for their canto bbq but that's mostly bc the restaurant feels cleaner than the others in the area. Don't know if taste or value is really comparable. read more

The roast pork was delicious. The skin nice and crispy. The meat was well seasoned. The bbq pork aka char siu was also good. We also had egg plant and clay pot chicken. The egg plant was just so-so. I did not like the clay pot chicken at all. It was not flavorful. But I'm giving this restaurant four stars because of the roast pork and bbq pork and friendly staff. Will be back to try their soy sauce chicken. read more

Since I didn't find any payment info, I went to the bank for some cash before meeting my friend in the restaurant. It turns out you can pay by credit card if the bill is $30 or over and you pay 3% of the card transaction fee. I ordered a roast duck wonton egg noodles and shrimp dumplings. My friend ordered the veggies egg noodles with chicken feet dim sum. The wontons were pretty big. They served me six cut pieces of roast duck and two of them had only skin and no meat. The egg noodles were ok. There were lots of veggies in my noodles. The shrimp dumplings (ha gow) were pretty small and one of the shrimp was not completely deshelled. My friend liked her veggie egg noodles which she only ate half and took the other half home. She also finished the chicken feet. I personally think the roast duck and wonton noodles are better at Lam Hoa Thuan in Sunset. The service staff was fast and courteous and the restaurant seemed popular. There was a full house during lunch hour when we were there. read more

Authentic Cantonese roast!! Reasonable priced too. A lot of traditional Cantonese dishes.

My Chinese family has come in for take out and sit down several times at this newly opened restaurant this year. Some dishes have been better than others. This afternoon we had the roast pork with bean curd and oyster $19.99, bitter melon sparerib over rice $10.99 and seafood pan fried noodles $13.99. Everything was delicious! For take out, we usually get the roast pork. Nice ambience. If you dine in and get a card stamped four times, you'll get a free item. Nice incentive. Street parking. We'll return to try other dishes. read more

Solid Chinese restaurant in Richmond. Logos amount of indoor seating as well as a butcher for taking meats or ordering food to go. The bathroom is clean, service and food comes out quickly. House Cheung Fun - 4.5/5 * I enjoyed the texture of the rice noodles as they were very soft and paired well with the sauce provided. * The addition of the runny egg and chili oil tasted great! * Large portion for the price but wish it came with a bit more meat Preserved egg and pork congee - 4/5 * A bit watery for my liking but had a nice flavor, lots of pork and preserved egg, pretty good sized portion overall and came out hot Char Siu & Duck - 4/5 * The char siu was good and thinly sliced * Duck is solid but you can get better duck somewhere else in SF read more

Came back for bbq pork. At 9 am, they were bringing all the delicious meats out. Their whole duck costs $30. Enjoyed their simple dim sum menu. Chicken feet had a spicy kick (get it? A kick?). It was a bit sweet. The salted egg lava bun was good. Bittermelon rice roll but not really folded in but garnished as was the liver rice roll, more like sprinkle over. Siu mai was huge, four. HK tea was $3. Everything is reasonably pricedhere. Good portions. Great service meaning, you yell out in Cantonese, and they will come. read more

Maybe people don't know that this restaurant is located here. Everytime we come to eat here, there's always space. Which is great for me. I'm sure when words gets around, more and more people are going to come eat here. I recommend it if you like Chinese food. read more

First time and would be the only last time. Bad service, fake promotion. Taste bad. Won't recommend.

First time having dinner here. I remember this used to be the old Five Happiness Restaurant, another Chinese place. Food was delicious, as I had the Stew Pork Belly Pot with a bowl of rice. A bowl of soup was also served. When I paid my tab, I put down my debit card, but the server asked if I have cash. Why? I read here credit cards are accepted, right?! I hesitantly paid in cash!

I didn't believe in my eyes when I saw their menu because the price of the food is low compared with other places. I suggested my mom to try this place yesterday. We ordered the Pig Liver, Cheung Fun, Bitter Melon Cheung Fun, and the Three Items Choice: roasted duck, bbq pork and roasted pork. For the Cheung Fun itself is soft, but not slippery and chewy. They should put less water in it. Also, the soy sauce needs to be more sweet. The soy sauce on the table is not meant for Cheung Fun at all. The portion of the food is pretty generous. Customer service definitely failed. Three staff members working, one guy and two girls. Most of the time the guy is the one running around front and back, but the two girls just stood there, day dreaming. Also for the bbq pork section, they serve the to go customer first and we had to wait for him until he finished cutting the bbq for them. Overall, the experience was okay. read more

Only tried their BBQ stuff & was very pleasantly surprised. I ordered their Fat Chasiu (as told to me by the cashier), the roasted pork belly (siuyok), & their roast duck. They were all really really good. The chasiu was flavorful yet not overly sauced. The siuyok skin was crispy, meat was juicy & flavorful, & the fat to meat ratio was perfect. The duck was equally tasty. I was glad their version was not overly greasy like some other places. Can't wait to come try other items on the menu. read more

Very good Chinese BBQ style roasted items, paricularly the roasted pork, duck and ribs. The skin of the roasted pork is so crispy and the meat is not salty and overspiced like In other BBQ places. The rolled noodles (cheung fun) are great too, especially the ones with cilantro. They are very generous with the quanity of cilantro rolled in the rolled noodles. The ones with pork and beef are great too. My family tried their Singapore noodles and stir-fried ho funs with beef and they are awesome. Dim-sums are not that great, guess that they order the dim-sums somewhere and reheat to serve. Ordered a bowl of noodle soup with cha siu and wontons. The wontons are too big and just pork with no shrimps in filling. They are not typical wontons. cha siu tasted a bit sweet but not honey-glazed. And the soup is plain in taste. Portion of noodles is big though. Just wish that they give more vegetables. The restaurant is still new, I give extra time for them to improve workflow and service. read more

We tried this restaurant on a Sunday evening. Service was fine and quick enough. Overall the prices are reasonable. The spicy dishes and porridge were disappointing so I'd skip those.
