    Got the charsiu, duck, chicken, veggies and rice! We first tried this place from ordering online which we enjoyed, so we had to come see and try the place in person. Everything was 10/10! Flavorful, tender, and juicy. Loved all the sauces, from savory, sweet, to garlicky. Only thing we noticed was the oiliness after a while. Place is small, limited seating. Parking may be tough. Service is kind.

    I was looking for a quick chill dinner on a weeknight. And swung by this place on the way home. There's only a few few stools for seating so it's definitely a takeout vibe. I tried the char siu and it was so good. Balanced flavor, really moist and not dried out. Felt like a healthy yet really satisfying dinner! Can't wait to come back to try the duck.

    As of Septemer 2024 they are temporarily closed, but Hing Lung is set to reopen later this year fyi... A while back we got their roast duck, crispy roast pork, steamed buns, and veggies for take out. They were all very good. The seasoning they use on the duck is tasty and the crispy roast pork indeed had crispy skin. I enjoyed their different sauces too. Make sure they include the variety of sauces in your bag if you get multiple meats! I look forward to trying their other meats when they reopen. If there were some tables inside or outdoor picnic tables nearby then I would be visiting here more often. Chinatown in general needs more communal picnic tables or something because it's essentially one big "open air food hall" or food destination. I wanna be able to get food from 8 different places and then sit down somewhere to enjoy them all.

    Roast Duck - Half of a bird (Doordash)

    All over social media, people are saying this place has THE BEST roast duck in the country! So I had to check it out for myself.... I got half a duck and this was plenty for my boyfriend and I to share. If I'm being picky, the duck was on the salty side. However, it's very flavorful and savory. Not very sweet like other places. The duck pieces didn't have a ton of meat on them, but the pieces that had more meat were pretty juicy. Overall, not the best duck I've had - but definitely good quality! I'd recommend it to those visiting SF Chinatown.

    My husband and I were the second group in line on the day we were flying out of SF. We decided a hearty breakfast of Chinese BBQ was in order since our foray into Chinatown was not as what it could have been. I found Hing Lung on Yelp and decided this was exactly what we wanted. It was supposed to be nice but the early rain set in but I was determined in my goal. We made it there just as they were opening. My husband was in the mood for Peking duck while I wanted to try the crispy pork belly and honey BBQ pork. I ordered the half duck with rice & veggies and the woman behind the counter let me order a 1/4 lb of crispy pork belly and 1/4 lb of honey BBQ pork. Hing Lung, FTW! We were so excited to try our goodies, we stopped in the rain to take a quick bite. We were headed to the Dragon Gate to take a quick picture before heading back to the hotel room where we could enjoy our meal. It was too wet outside for our plan to picnic at the park. The crispy pork skin on the pork belly was crunchy. The honey BBQ was really the BEST I've tried. The duck was juicy and flavorful and reminded me of my childhood when my parents only got Chinese BBQ on special occasions. Do yourself a favor and go duck yourself at Hing Lung. It's worth every juicy bite!

    It's quite chaotic here on a Saturday at 11am. This tiny little establishment is Togo and cash-only. I went through a lot of trouble to find parking just to try their roast duck. Despite the risk of stinking up my car, I bravely kept the lids open to maintain the crispy skin while heading to a gathering, and my friends really enjoyed the duck. Surprisingly, this roast duck is the least salty I've ever had. You can add saltiness by dipping it in the five-spice flavored sauce, and add umami with the plum sauce. Although the duck skin may look slightly burnt, the meat is perfectly cooked. Despite the inconvenience, I have no regrets about buying it. The only thing missing is the gelatinous layers of flavor paste that some roast ducks have. Overall, this place is ideal for those who are willing to take the time to find parking, appreciate meat, and enjoy adding their own seasoning to the duck.

    Half a Roast Duck Rice Plate with crispy roast pork. Delicious and worth the difficulty parking.

    Let me warn all non-San Franciscans about what it takes to find this place... RUN! I kid. We came across about 6 shops that looked identical to this (inside and out) while out walking GPS said we were practically on top of this place. So be warned, it needs to say Go Duck Yourself on the exterior or you may be at a competitor that may not quite match up. You will be parking far from the establishment, so get on your hiking shoes, because it may be an uphill climb. The sidewalk will be bustling with locals, tourists, and people just trying to get lunch or groceries. We got the Half Roast Duck Rice Plate and a Crispy Roast Pork plate. The rave reviews that you see here cannot clearly illustrate the experience your palate will take when consuming their offerings. The savory duck will pour juicy flavorful fat into the rice you were already chewing and you will be thankful of the harmonious concoction that you have unwittingly created. The vegetables challenge the incredible protein for your favorite part of this dish. Ours was Chinese broccoli, and it delivered its own culinary experience. The crispy pork changed the textural consistency of our lunch and provided a salty crunch that you'd be proud of. My kids chose this dish but loved both and wished they had more. (Too late, we're back at the truck and have to make it to our next destination. You're bad for not trusting me when I say my Yelp friends say THIS IS THE BEST!) Inside you will find people hard at work, beautiful proteins hanging for your viewing pleasure, and lots of noise from prepping and chopping. Even though they were busy, service was good but may require a translator if you don't speak Mandarin (a service they provide, free of charge.) My suggestion is order more than you think, as it keeps will, reheats nicely, and you may not be able to make this trip again.

    I grew up eating a lot of roasted duck and Chinese bbq so when I stumbled upon this place online, I knew I had to give it a try. This establishment is not a sit down restaurant but a meat shop where you order your roasted items and eat it at home. The roasted duck is delectable and has the perfect fat to meat ratio. I love how the staff offers an abundance of sauces such as plum sauce, ginger scallion oil, and duck sauce. Their ginger scallion oil is to die for! The roasted pork is great but you would need to eat it right away so that the skin stays crispy. Wish the skin was crispier but other than that, the pork is very favorable and nicely roasted. Definitely worth a trip if you are in Chinatown.

    love their food..good customer sevice friendly!! i just home they post their hours. friday to sunday closes at 10pm and tuesday and wednesday closes 8:30pm

    Okay, So Hing Lung is also now aka Go Duck Yourself ™ The ROAST DUCK here is SOOO YUMMM!!! Yes, pricey but totally worth it! Hing Lung, who used to sell raw meat (section on the right which is now closed), cooked ready to go meals (like chow mein by the pound), and BBQ Roast items has now completely and successfully re-invented itself by selling just BBQ Roast Items. And let me tell you... their Roast Duck is SO GOOD! It is worth the price (goes by the pound, and about $40 for the whole duck), and worth the wait. Other BBQ roast items are also very good. But the ROAST DUCK here is definitely BOMB!

    Large Catering Order with buns and sauces!
    Jennifer S.

    Placed a large order here for our baby shower last weekend and they are truly phenomenal to work with! They only needed 3-4 days notice and they were able to accommodate my order for 8 ducks and 6lbs of Charsiu! I also loved how I was able to order white rice and garlic veggies from here as well so it wasn't just meat! I had messaged back in February in the early stages of planning just to get quotes and they were super responsive via Yelp! Ordering was a breeze and pick-up even easier! The food was also a hit with our guests! They really enjoyed the duck (which is why I ordered more of it), and how I was also able to order it with buns, hoisin sauce, and scallions. I mean, who can say no to a roasted duck bun?! The charsiu went fast too - like there was literally nothing left at the end of the party! Service, food, easy of pick-up, communication were all top-notch in my experience and I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to cater some delicious bbq!

    Roast Duck - Half of a bird, LEAN Crispy Pork, Honey Glazed BBQ Pork
    Gabe P.

    I can't call myself a duck expert by any means, but I assume this is as good as it gets. This is one of those places that has the duck hanging right there in the window and it's like, "okay, let's see what this is all about." The duck was succulent and juicy. It's not my favorite protein. The crispy pork was good but my favorite was the honey roasted bbq pork. They serve it cold. If it was warm and fresh I could go to 5 stars here. (4.2 Stars)

    Brenda L.

    The roast duck?? So duckin' good ahaha! This was my first stop after arriving in Chinatown for the first time in a LOOONG one. I love eating roast duck so this was a no brainer to visit. Their food was just as good as I expected - juicy duck, accompanied by savory sauces. The duck was seasoned and cooked so perfectly, and it's so nice that you're able to see everything be prepared in front of you. I found it to be a really reasonable price! I'd definitely DoorDash this had I lived closer - they also offer rice if you're just in the city for a day trip and want to try it out. The half order is already pretty large itself. They accept card here! Food comes out quickly and ordering is easy and self explanatory.

    Do you use MSG in your Duck and BBQ Pork?

    Hi, we don’t use MSG or any ingredients containing MSG in all of our BBQ.

    It looks like you have nowhere to sit and enjoy your food. I am traveling from out of state. Would I have to bring the food back to my hotel room to eat?

    Hi there! It's a take out deli style shop. You can either eat at your hotel or a lot of people take it to the surrounding parks and eat it there. 😊

    Will you be open Dec 25, Christmas day for a take out order of duck?

    We’re closed Dec 25th 2023. We’re open on Dec 24th Christmas Eve

    How can I make a delivery order for thanksgiving 2023?

    Hi, you can schedule the preorder it right here on Yelp.

    Will you be open for pickups on Thanksgiving 2023? Thank you!!

    Yes we’re open for Thanksgiving!

    When ordering in person. How much more does it cost to make it a plate? Don't see it on the menu. Love the food. Always order twice a week.

    Thank you! Rice and veggies plate is $6. And we just weight how ever much meat you like on top.

    Are you open on Chinese New Year 1/22/23? Door Dash order available?

    Yes we are!

    Do you sell roast suckling pig? Or roast goose? Can I order in advance? Thank you.

    We’re currently not offering suckling pigs or roast goose.

    Hi there I saw you're not doing Thanksgiving turkeys this year. Any chance you'll be selling Thanksgiving ducks?

    Yes! We’ll have ducks available. And also the country style gravy is also available.

    Curious does anyone know how to order a thanksgiving turkey?

    Sorry, we’re not doing turkeys this year. Having trouble securing turkeys this year.

    Do you guys do peking turkey for thanksgiving? do we order on yelp closer to the date? btw, your profile is hilarious. squabbling with family is what we do best. thanks for the laugh.

    Hi Dee! I’m so sorry, we’re not doing turkeys this year. We’re a little short handed at the moment. I’m pretty sure we’ll be back at it again next Thanksgiving. Haha. Yes, my father did everything like it was back in the 90s. He didn’t even… Read more

    I am visiting San Francisco in a few weeks. Can I place a large order in advance for duck liver sausage, pork sausage, Chinese dried bacon, and dried duck so I can pack it and ship it home with me?

    Absolutely! Please send me the order via direct message here and we’ll take care of that for you all packed and ready to go!

    I live in Dallas, Tx. I had some of your great-tasting ducks when I was last in San Francisco. I want to ask I can order some of your excellent duck and have it frozen and shipped to me?

    Hi Jerron! Thank you so much! Unfortunately we don’t have the facilities to freeze package anything at this time.

    Last question: Are Christmas Day hours the same as what's posted here in the info? Opens at 11am? Thank you!

    Everything will be available at around 10:30am!! Thanks!!!

    Are you open on Christmas Day this year? If so, any chance customers can pre-order directly (I.e. not via the delivery apps)? 🤞

    Yes we’re open Christmas Day but it’s first come first serve, so there’s no pre-orders. Sorry for the inconvenience. The delivery apps will also be off line on Christmas.

    Where do you source your meat from? Are the animals given hormones and antibiotics? Are they raised humanely? Thanks!

    Absolutely! Our whole hogs are from Olson Meat. Our BBQ pork is from Danish Crown, and our ducks are from Tasty Ducks. All of our product uses all natural ingredients. Salt, sugar, spices. No MSG, no nitrates or anything shady like that.

    Can I call in and pick up?

    Yes, but it's on Stockton Street and there is no street parking.

    Hi! I have a peanut/tree nut allergy. Do you use any of these in your restaurant?

    Hi!! No we don’t use any peanut or tree nuts. No seafood or shell fishes either. Thanks!

    Gluten free options?

    Currently we’re not offering a gluten free option. We’re working on it tho. Thank you!

    Will you be delivering lunch on Christmas Day?

    Yes we will, but wait time might be a little longer due to the volume of orders we’re expected to have. Thank you!

For the broccoli beef, the broccoli was nicely cooked and the meat was very tender. We really enjoyed the 606 house fried rice. It wasn't overly fried like most places and felt fresh. The mixture of proteins was also tasteful. Now for the pork dumplings, the presentation was nice and also tasted great with nice hints of shrimp. We noticed the place became very busy but the service was still attentive. I recommend getting a reservation for larger parties or if you visit during peak hours. We aren't local or else this would be a regular place for us.

    WHAT A GEM in SF Chinatown!…read more Hubby secured hard to get reservations and the very next day, I see a friend post her visit on IG Stories. I asked her, "What's good?" Her response... "Everything!" That's all one needs to say. At the entrance, clearly marked are signs reading, "Reservations" and "Walk-ins". Since we had reservations, we waited only a few minutes to get seated at the bar. The bar makes it easy to converse with your partner and to peer over as the fire from the range springs up from the kitchen. Our server brought us some "Free Bites" of roasted peanuts and smashed cucumbers. She was such a pleasant lady with quite the wit that made me laugh between courses. We ordered a full bottle of Negori sake. Note: if you do not finish the sake bottle, they cannot pack it to go for you, so drink up! Obviously, we couldn't order everything on the menu. For our first visit, we definitely wanted their special dish, Fried Squab. It was delicious! The meat was moist and the dipping salt with Sichuan peppercorn paired perfectly! Just don't focus too much on the visual... the head and claws. Hot Mustard Jellyfish Salad ~ I loved the "crunch" of the jellyfish and the hot mustard marinade was just spicy enough to start a slow burn up the nose. Beef Chow Fun Noodles ~ Delicious and so very savory. I was amazed at how flavorful this dish was without being salty. Clay Pot Rice w/Chinese Sausage & Bacon ~ Loved how the entire pot was seasoned nicely. The sauce did not only sit at the top, but penetrated deep down into the rice. XO Escargot w/Milkbread ~ I've only had French Escargot and these are just as good, if not better! Fish Fragrant Eggplant ~ Another savory and very umami dish. Red Bean Shaved Ice ~ Always a refreshing dessert. Dig in for the surprise in the center. We had such a nice, cozy dinner here. Even while at the bar, we never felt for lack of space. They paced the dishes out perfectly, so there was always room to eat and enjoy. Looking forward to returning and trying more items on the menu.

The dumplings had a good amount of filling and were hot and fresh. The scallion pancakes had plenty of scallions which I appreciated.

The front of the restaurant has a kiosk to place orders as well (not sure if it's only for take-out orders). It's definitely a restaurant I would go back to when we are in the area again.

    The food was good but portion sizes were not the typical chinese family style i'm used to. Service…read morewas a bit slow and dishes came out one at a time (so I never got to eat my rice with my beef while both were hot) but they were able to seat my large party fairly quickly. Ambiance was clean and good lighting up on the top floor. Overall, a good experience - just would've ordered more food next time knowing the portions were so small.

    Eating here, I was reminded of the meme that the best Chinese restaurants are rated 3.5 stars,…read moregreat food but poor atmosphere. Because yes, the R&G dining area was crowded and looked much like my childhood kitchen from the '60's (yellow flowered wallpaper, white ceiling, square-tiled flooring, round metal table and chairs). Yet, the food was delicious.. We had the Prawns with Honey Walnuts, half Peking duck and my wife splurged on the Lobster with Sticky Rice. My favorite turned out to be the Prawns, large, fresh and lightly tempura-battered. The duck, and especially lobster, were messy dishes, made messier by the lack of knives, forks, crackers and mallets I'm used to preparing such dishes with. The duck was chopped, served bone-on, so fingers were necessary to pull apart the meat. Likewise, the lobster was served in pieces and I believe was meant to be cracked although the claw meat was terribly difficult, dare I say painful. to reach. If able we'd have taken the lobster home and properly broken out all the meat. Instead, we left much of the lobster on the plate. Still, a fun place. We enjoyed our meal.

    Came to pick up food to bring home. Our usual order can comprise of roast duck, roast pork, BBQ…read morepork, soy sauce chicken, and/or duck feet. When ordering the BBQ pork (char siu), I always ask for a leaner portion since I prefer it without too much fat. There wasn't much of a line this time--decades ago and even pre-pandemic, there was almost always a long wait during their busier times like during lunch and dinner hours. A relative of mine used to work here over 30 years ago, and I remember how nonstop and demanding it was. It was hardly a slow or relaxed environment. They also suggested adding mochi to my order. I passed this time, but I'll give it a try on my next visit. These days, there's a lot more competition along the Noriega corridor, which may explain the change in crowds. Still, it's nice to come back for the familiar Cantonese foods I grew up with and love.

    We came on Thursday and got the roasted pork and pig tongue. My mom really liked the roasted pork,…read morethe skin was crispy and the meat was super tender. The pig tongue, however, wasn't really her thing and didn't have much flavor. We also tried the coconut mochi ($3.80 for 3). It was pretty good, with black sesame, peanuts, and sugar inside. They also have ginger pig feet and pork belly, which we might try next time. Overall, solid spot if you're here for roasted pork!

We ordered : - Braised beef wonton noodle soup : noodles had that perfect springy bite, the broth was light , well seasoned & comforting. The braised beef was melt in your mouth tender, and the wontons were fresh, plump, and juicy. Everything was on point. - Fish porridge : I appreciate that the congee is not too soupy/ watered down. It was hearty and fish was delicately cooked just right, not dry or rubbery like some places. - Curry fish balls with pork rind : Good side dish, nicely seasoned with a spicy kick which we loved. Parking was relatively easy, there's metered spots across the street. Service was fast & efficient, the aunty who served us was super friendly and on top of everything. The interior is clean and comfy with a chill, welcoming vibe. Definitely planning to return, especially for another bowl of that beef noodle soup!

Went here with my girlfriends to celebrate a wonderful dim sum dinner for AAPI month! We had heard about this place because it is a Michelin recognized restaurant and while we live closer to Chinatown figured it was worth heading down to SOMA. It was good, but like similar reviews say, pretty shocked with how comparable it tasted to some other dim sum places in the city. Imperial Peking Duck - 10/10! XLB - 11/10 just for the presentation! The waiter serves you the first one :) House Pan Fried noodles - 8/10, not the best but still tasty. We also had the egg cake for dessert and we've never had that before so it was nice to try something new. Would come back if I was in the area but since I'm close to Chinatown, can find places there too.

Today we visited Good Ming Kok Bakery. The shop is small and crowded with cookware and patrons. The order board is on the wall with corresponding numbers to make it go quicker. It's a walk in, order and walk out establishment. Be prepared...there is a line. The ladies working are not personable and act as if they are doing us a favor. Very stern faced. (Service 1/5) The buns (5/5) were very tasty, light and full of meat. Definitely will keep this one on our radar when the kids come for a visit.
