Duck & Chicken
Supar K.

The star of the show is undoubtedly the Tea-smoked Chicken--it's flavorful, aromatic, and perfectly cooked. The roasted chicken and duck are also excellent, with crispy skin and tender meat, making them classic, reliable choices. The restaurant is a typical, no-frills Chinese eatery. It's functional for a casual meal but doesn't offer any particular atmosphere or stylish décor. Be prepared for a relaxed pace. The service is notably slow, so it's not the place for a quick meal if you're dining in. Win's Restaurant is a destination for its fantastic tea-smoked and roasted meats, not for its service or ambiance. It's best enjoyed as a top-tier takeout option. Order to-go to enjoy the excellent food without the wait.

Roast duck and pork
Robert K.

I heard about this place that their roast duck was fantastic. Well, I had to try it for myself. Win's restaurant is out in the avenues. Parking is limited but eventually you'll find a space. The restaurant is small with limited seating. However, most people seem to come here for take out of roast duck and roast pork. The service was excellent, order was taken and the food arrived quickly. I ordered the wonton noodle soup and a plate of roast duck and roast pork. The roast duck and roast pork was very delicious. The young duck meat was tender and flavorful. The roast pork skin was crispy and the meat was tender and full of flavor. Probably one of the best tasting roast duck I've had in a while. The wonton noodle soup on the other hand was very disappointing. The wontons did not taste fresh and the soup was very bland. If you want to try some delicious roast duck and roast pork, you must give this place a try. However, if you're in the mood for wonton noodle soup, there are better places elsewhere.

Roast pork

It was around dinner time and wanted some bbq meat to go. We decided to try Win's restaurant again. The place is kind of dark inside. Not too many tables, but it wasn't crowded. We could have eaten there, but we just wanted it to go. We've had their food a few years back, but it was pre-pandemic. We weren't sure what to expect. But we were pleasantly surprised! We got 1/2 a duck and some roast pork. We did reheat the roast pork and duck in an air fryer for about 8 minutes and the skin was SO crispy! And the duck was seasoned just right and not overly salty. Not bad for under $30.

Scallop and Egg White Fried Rice

Amazing place. Everything was great and fresh. Everything was also done in like 15 minutes, they're so fast! Nice and inviting restaurant with very nice staff. The inside is a traditional Chinese restaurant, very homey. We lived everything, but the star was definitely the tea marinated chicken, omg it was so good. Will come back for more and more and more!

Exterior

A go-to spot for BBQ/roast meats, perfect to get takeout for a family dinner My family and I got a whole Tea Marinated Chicken (their speciality) for $26 cash Probably one of the best chickens I've had in a while, the meat is fresh, tender, not dry at all, slippery texture, and very flavorful The soy and tea marinade is really captured by both the dark chicken skin and the meat Would definitely go again to get the chicken and other roast meats like duck or BBQ pork Best if you can speak Cantonese and pay in cash (all the customers there with me spoke Cantonese and there's a 3% credit card fee)

Roast duck, mostly bones and skin!

If you want to waste $36 on a whole roast duck that is flavorless, tough, primarily bones and skin, with a minuscule amount of anything edible, this is your duck. I hate to be so critical, but just to be somewhat civil, the service and ambiance seem to be just okay. Tried some of their BBQ pork which was okay only because it had some flavor with much more meat by comparison. I definitely wouldn't recommend the roast duck though.

Looks like there's new owners because this place doesn't look like any of the older photos here. We dined in. Restaurant was clean. Not a lot of people. We were able to grab a table I wanted to sample their deli so ordered several items over rice. The bbq pork was yummy. And kudos for the lean meat Siu yuk had a good portion of meat and fat. Too bad the skin was non existent. BBQ pork chow mein had a lot of wok hei. Simply delicious. Service was fast. 3% surcharge levied if you pay by credit card.

Okay okay okay The place on ocean used to be the crown prince of soy sauce chicken and roast pork. But this might have taken the cake. Arrived at 1pm on a Thursday and we were seated immediately. The staff was kind and provided insight. The restaurant was as clean as a traditional Chinese restaurant can be. The highlight was the tea chicken and roast pork as pictured. This was dead on finger lickin good. The steamed veggies was not it, if I'll be honest. Stray away from the veg, move toward the wedge of meat. Ooowie good stuff Big Mitch

Peking Duck 北京片皮鴨 ( Half 半)  I already ate some.

This is my #200 YELP Review !! 10/17/2025, I ordered from Win's delivered DoorDash after work and I waited at my car for the delivery. Anyways, a co- worker spoke well of the way Win's restaurant stating they cook their Peking Duck by using their hands to turn over the bird while in the oven instead of packing their ovens together with chicken and other food items. Win's carefully cook their duck separately from other food. I taste the difference between Win's Peking Duck and the restaurant i have been a patron for decades in Oakland named New Gold Medal. Win's WIN !!!

Fish filet clay pot - full of fish! Tasty braise
Michael Y.

Unique dishes from a local Chinese eatery - perfecto! Once again, they do it well. This time, I tried the fish clay pot, and it was on the spot! It was a full, heavy takeout container filled with fish filet (yep, deboned!) and tons of roasted tofu. The sauce goes well with rice. I heard that they are open for dine-in nowadays, but takeout is always popular. They are nice And took credit card last time I was back. I think they remodeled now too, so it should be more comfortable. Beware of parking! People who double-parked here got honked at and yelled at by tons of cars passing by and having to go around random cars double-parked. I saw it myself when I parked in an open spot and just watched it unfold in front of me. Lol. Then the driver who was double-parked just moved the car. There is parking usually around the corner or a half a block away - yep, not far at all.

Small restaurant located on Taravel outer sunset. It was my first time eating here and won't be my last! Service was great and friendly. We got a bunch of different dishes, my favorite is their soy sauce chicken. I loved the saltiness of it. They also have some already made Asian savory snacks to go and have duck/cha siu/chicken... My family didn't know they close at 6:30pm and we got there at 6pm. They were very friendly the whole time and we were the last table to leave. My family thought it was weird they were cleaning up and some workers were leaving, we didn't think it's because they actually closed. We thanked everyone at the end and the person chopping the meats at the front was so kind and actually thanked us for coming to support their business it was such a cute and wholesome moment. Overall Rating: 10/10

Beef shank ( sides small plates to go or eat there.
C T.

Reasonable pricing, service & food. Great small plates. Roast duck, BBQ pork, Asian BBQ spareribs, boiled or soy sauce chicken. Deli & resturant. Busy deli take out traffic . Don't want the place grow to the point where it can be busy to enjoy a meal there!

Jack R.

Super dissapointed in the new ownership. The prices have gone up, and the food quality and quantity have gone down. I just happened to be buying a drink at Andytown when my roommate asked if we should try it out. I love duck, so I said yes. The wonton duck noodles are small portions and the duck itself is like scraps. The duck wasn't as flavorful as it was in past years. I think it's because the OG chef left. The beef stew was tough and chewy. For $50 for 2 duck wonton soups and a beef stew it seemed pricey and not excellent like it used to be. #sad

Food is good and price is right. However, flies are always there during lunch. It greatly reduces appetite during the whole meal.

Amazing service! I…read morecame as a party of 2 at 5:20 (just before opening) on a Saturday night and we were the last party to be seated as the first round of walk-ins! We got seated right by the window, so lovely! The ambiance is so nice and the decor is so cozy and cool. We got the free peanuts and cucumber salad first- so flavorful and a nice way to whet our appetite. The scallop vermicelli was SO buttery and flavorful. I wanted another order!! The claypot rice came steaming hot and full of meats! Get something to cut it with! The black bean clams were delicious but a tad salty so it's nice to have with the claypot, or even an order of veggies and plain rice! We ended our meal with shaved ice that was layered with black bean, custard, and boba! So refreshing and a perfect end! I would come back 10000%

Five of us dined here to celebrate a birthday. According to the one who managed to get the…read morereservation, it's quite popular and the reservation is one of the coveted ones in SF. Anyway, having tried it, I can say it was good, but not so good that I'd expend that much energy to secure the reservation. Have to say, service was really great. Servers were attentive without being overbearing, which is always welcome. We ordered several dishes and dined, as they suggested, family style. To start, we were given two complimentary dishes, the roasted peanuts and the smashed cucumbers; both were nice appetizers. We ordered the Chiu Chow green beans, the Mongolian beef noodles, the claypot rice with lop cheung and bacon, the salt 'n peppa prawns, and the whole fried petrale sole, the last two being on the day's "specials" board. The winning dish was definitely the green beans. All the food was good, but seemed to be a bit overly salted and highly spiced. The piece of beef I had from the Mongolian beef noodles was tender, but one of my friends thought her piece was a bit tough and too chewy; we all thought the beef could have been cut into smaller or thinner pieces. We also shared two desserts since it was a birthday celebration (there are only three options offered). We had the red bean shaved ice and the mango pudding. Both were good (not "oh, boy, yummy" good, but good). Nice to try. The price wasn't outrageous ($200 including tax and tip), but I think this will be a "been there, done that" experience for me unless a friend absolutely wants to go again.

You know,…read moresomething along the lines of: "WARNING: Excessive deliciousness may cause your brain to go into shock from an overload of endorphins." No? Well, there SHOULD be one at this restaurant! We stopped by for some Sunday dim sum, and DAMN! Did this place knock it out of the park! First off, the ambiance was AMAZING! Sitting outside next to the ocean with that cool coastal breeze rolling through on a beautiful Sunday afternoon? Chef's kiss! Honestly, the weather alone was already setting us up for a great experience before the excellent service. But the food? Oh, it took things to a whole different level! Steamed Dumplings (XLB): 100/10!!! The flavors were absolutely SPOT ON! The skin was incredibly thin and delicate, making every bite a perfect balance of juicy filling and soft wrapper. Just the right thickness to soak up a little dipping sauce without overpowering the dumpling itself. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! The Rest of the Dim Sum: Everything pictured below absolutely delivered! Not a single disappointing dish in the bunch. Black Swan Taro Puff: Now THIS was probably the most interesting dish I had during the entire meal! The texture was unlike anything else we ordered, but the filling? DIVINE! The combination of century egg and chicken created this incredible explosion of savory flavors. It's one of those combinations you wouldn't necessarily expect to work so beautifully together, but somehow, it just DOES! Every bite was a little adventure. Absolutely loved the creativity behind this one! Peking Duck: Let's just say a picture is worth a thousand words. 10/10. NO NOTES! Final Thoughts: Between the incredible food, beautiful oceanfront ambiance, and that perfect Sunday afternoon breeze, this was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, and the flavors were just phenomenal. I genuinely cannot wait to return to San Francisco, even if it's just for another meal here! And seriously, someone needs to look into that warning label. This level of deliciousness should come with a disclaimer!

I even went 45 minutes out of my way just to go there. Just be aware that if you want the dim sum experience there is much more during lunch. FOOD: Wonderful. We had a wide variety of food. Honey BBQ Pork, Peking Roast Duck, Harborview Beef, Baked BBQ Bun, Xiao Long Bao, Kung Pao Chicken, and Garlic Honey Chicken. Honey BBQ Pork was surprisingly good! Loved it. Roast duck was exactly what a good Chinese restaurant should serve which is NOT a given. Baked BBQ Bun was excellent (not to be confused with cha siu bao which has a different texture and taste). Garlic Honey Chicken was terrific. Similar to orange chicken but a bit more sweet and a tiny bit less tangy. Not really garlicky at all. Kung Pao Chicken was good but not exceptional and the Harborview Beef was tasty but a lot like teriyaki beef jerky. I think it was way overcooked. SERVICE: Good portions and packaged really well. We did take out and they had it packaged and ready on time. Too bad they don't have it available downstairs so you have to either wait for the literal two person elevator or climb up and down the stairs. COST: A bit pricey but at least you get what you paid for. It's hard to find this high quality Chinese food so if you're lucky enough, go and try it. My favorite is still Begoni Bistro in Chinatown but this one is definitely worth it and I might change my mind if I get to try the lunch!

The restaurant has a bit of a nicer / upscale ambiance (so wish I'd dressed nicer but alas). We ordered the bbq pork buns, Szechuan spicy sauce cold chicken, half roasted duck with wraps, braised tofu with vegetables, and these scallion spinach noodles. BBQ Pork Buns: I loved the bbq pork buns. The bun itself was kind of light and slightly sweet (reminded me of the pineapple buns at Mei Lai Wah in NYC), and the pork inside was tasty as well. Szechuan Spicy Sauce Cold Chicken: Then we got the cold chicken, which was not bad. The chicken itself was really tender but I do feel like the sauce wasn't anything special - it tasted very similar to store bought Lao Gan Ma, with only a very slight, imperceptible difference. Roasted Duck w/Wraps: These were quite solid - the skin was thin, crispy, with the fat largely removed. I was slightly expecting the thinner authentic wraps vs. the thicker bao buns but these were still good. Scallion Spinach Noodles: These were probably my least favorite. They were lacking in flavor (had to ask for some salt). With salt, it was maybe slightly better? The noodles have a scallion flavor that is just sooo light and subtle, it tastes plain. And so, if I came back, I'd definitely opt for a different noodle dish. Braised Tofu w/Vegetables: Lastly, we all unanimously enjoyed this dish. It was a generous portion of tofu, and the sauce was rich that was easily soaked up by the tofu and vegetables. There were a few shiitake mushrooms that soaked up the flavor amazingly that I wished there were more. However, it's pretty typical vs. other cheaper Chinese restaurants, so I don't know if there was anything necessarily standout about it if you've had this before. Still enjoyed it of course. Overall, we had a nice dinner that we were all pretty full from. That being said, our bill actually wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be especially for SF (came out to little bit less than $50 per person including the 18% service charge they put in). I think the food was quite good, but unless I'm explicitly wanting to go for the more upscale vibe, I'd probably opt for a cheaper more mom-and-pop Chinese restaurant as the food quality would likely be pretty similar.
