Sunday morning 11:20 arrived at the restaurant, first time that we were able to find a parking spot…read morein the lot. And we got greeted and welcomed right away. Inside has modern decoration and clean . The waiter served us tea right after we seated, maybe there were not a lot of people, the service is surprisingly decent-- he offered kids utensils and collect the empty plates right after we finished. The traditional dishes like egg tart, sweet rice cake, dessert were good, also highlighted on the pork belly dish-- crispy skin and juicy meat. The not so great adventurous dish -- fried duo chun fish, bitter ending taste. Other than that, this restaurant still on my top list whenever craving for dim sum or Cantonese dishes. This restaurant staff is very friendly to kids and the food selection is kids friendly.

The sides of the table had a bar across it so the 3rd person in the side couldn't pull their chair in. Ambience terrible, they were setting up for an event so there was a guy testing karaoke and mic checking half the time. When I paid the bill, they brought the check back without my credit card, they had to go find where it dropped out. And I couldn't lower my tip because it was a pre-set service charge, even tho just for 3 ppl.

Order by marking quantity on paper. The items are very hot when they come. All the items have some type of chili, so heads up if you do not have spicy. 7 plates is about $49 before taxes and tips. There's specials on weekday before 12pm. Generous portions, the chicken feet were whole. Some dim sum spots have been cutting chicken feet in half and are small. My favorite is the stuffed shrimp tofu. Still have a rare dessert items such as deep fried twisted egg (Dan San). Overall, pretty good place with hot dim sum.

It was not easy to find near by parking ( caused we arrived later like 12 noon ) . We found street parking a few blocks away and walked to The Kitchen . The table and pig were ready as scheduled. We have ordered a few favorite dishes as mixed mushrooms stir fried chicken filet , Fish mew chicken soup , Fuji seafood fried rice with gravy . And I took two dim sum from the cart ( stewed chicken feet in Abalone sauce and steamed beef rice roll) . All the food was delicious. The suckling pig was tender enough like a baby pig , the skin was thin And crispy. It came with steamed bun and hoisin sauce and some vegetables to be eaten together . Six of us finished the whole pig and all the dishes . We only had some fried rice left to bring home for next meal . Great service and good food . The suckling pig has better quality than the majority of the Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area . You would need to order 3 days in advance . I would not recommend the " to go " option cause the crispy skin will not taste the same when you put aluminum foil cover on a roasted pig . Great birthday present for the family member!

Dim sum is pretty good and always packed on weekends!…read more Came for weeknight dinner and the ingredients didn't seem like the best quality. In the lamb pot, the soy pieces were dry and rough. In another mixed veg dish, the veggie piece was stringy and not very chewable. A few dishes were overly salty. Hot and sour soup was very mild and different from the standard at other places, which is ok because half my table liked that and half did not, just preferences Service is fine and efficient! Casual ambiance, loud typical restaurant volume Appreciate the complimentary red bean soup in the end of meal!

They did add the 'New SF' prefix the name to distance themselves. Coming here on a Saturday after making dinner reservations on a late Saturday afternoon, I saw a number of familiar faces immediately. Half of their staff are from the Monterey Blvd. Won Kok Restaurant. This was my 1st time dining here in likely close to thirty years when it was another restaurant. Back to our meal, we were seated at the far end corner of the restaurant, prime location for spacing and restroom access. In crafting our menu, my friend chose several staple dishes from their original location; besides those, my friend was gifted a Bay-caught halibut so I asked the restaurant for suggestions in cooking it. The chef suggested cooking it two-ways. I knew the captain from his two previous restaurants (20+ years) and he guided us. Here's what we ate (family style): 1. Steamed surf clams with garlic and vermicelli noodles (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=lPyTuWkX4RoUtP-3fZ2UiA) - These were served in two halves on each plate (four plates for eight shells) for our party of eight. Tasty, flavorful, and fresh as their flagship location in San Francisco. 2. Soy sauce supreme seasoned prawns, 2.5 lbs (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=wYtIFMiiYTuhOa_CmggLrQ) - I actually requested "West Lake" shrimp but was subbed out by this. This was good, just not what we wanted and expected and definitely pricier. 3. Salt and pepper halibut (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=9scLPxW30ktLJK72UIrSBw) - Half of our provided fish was cooked this style. It was done well as you'd expect from the most famous R&G chef to go through their kitchen. 4. Sauteed pea sprouts with garlic (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=GDqjVZCqWnGvZ68sbHjqCw) - Pretty standard version and the pea sprouts were cleaned and trimmed well without any inedible or chewy pieces. 5. Pan fried pork spare ribs with soy sauce (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=x3xQew_Es07lW2dPJwB7BA) - This was the captain's recommendation and it was good but didn't stand out in any particular way. The ribs are cut into bite sized pieces and flash fried. 6. Simmered beef stew & turnip with pepper in broth (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=CAg60fXr0CfXtrcPVm2kEQ) - One of the signature dishes from the chef's days on Kearny Street that he continued at his Monterey Blvd. location. The portions are certainly enough for our large party as a family style dish. The broth is definitely the star and, for me, the radish (daikon). 7. Steamed halibut with black bean sauce (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=amzaLddp_H2vdSGzrKyYfQ) - The size of the fish made this tricky as, when the captain tried to remove the bones in serving, we learned that the fish was not fully cooked. He brought it back to the kitchen and they cooked this to a perfect cooking temperature. The flavors were nice and the black bean sauce didn't overpower the fish. 8. Golden fried rice with a touch of egg white (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=CZdyzi720mOckNXxHulS4g) - Another restaurant recommended dish, we were amazed at how tasty this was, given the simplicity of its description. Apologies for not having a full serving photo as the captain offered and agreed to him apportioning it in bowls for each diner. 9. Crispy skin roast chicken with garlic (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=TspHX9eknS496I3zXwVwlQ) - This is their innovative twist on the Cantonese favorite jia zhi chicken with a strong garlic flavor. The carving of the decorative chicken head (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=DaywI5br-WQb9hh0a5sgng) was impressive. 10. Green bean tapioca soup (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=12ljEfFOj8tqwIaBXHvTVw) - Complimentary, a nice ending. 11. Red bean paste pastries (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=MwjmcyVoyHVXnmPRWYuM8w) - Complimentary and okay. The theme here, given the restaurant size, is for banquet style meals and prices reflect it. By the time we left, the dining room and the staff were swamped. Highly recommend making reservations especially weekends. More likely to dine at their flagship but will come for special occasions or with South Bay friends.

Walked about a block and a half from the hotel and ended up here. Glad we did. Doesnt look like much from the outside and the inside is pretty simple and small. Not fancy at all. Food has big flavor though and the portions were decent. I got the Godfather hand rolled noodles. Wide noodles with the minced pork on top and green onion. Good chew and a little heat. My wife got the brocolli beef with white rice. Beef was tender and the broccoli wasnt mushy. We both had a soda and they kept the hot tea coming. Server I think was one of the owners. Super helpful and friendly. I told her it was our first time and she explained the menu so we could actually pick something. This is one of those hidden gems. True hole in the wall. Theyve got Michelin recognition on the wall which is pretty impressive for a little spot like this. Good food and great service. What more can you ask for. Just a heads up they dont take cash and they add a service charge instead of tips.

This place has wonderful service, but not so much for the food…read more I love green onion pancakes, a Chinese classic comfort food. Here it was very doughy and flavorless. In fact we found every dish lacked flavor. From the noodles to the tofu to the green beans. Just bland and very raw tasting, like it needs to be cooked more. Lots of chewing since it's undercooked. Broth is salty and not like a rich bone broth. Think watery Ramen type broth. When we were here there was only one other table and some take out orders. I found their famous human smoked pork and tofu just plain lacking. The tofu had no flavor, the pork was equally plain, and the price was more expensive since it's their signature dish. Their hot and sour soup had way too much vinegar, and I couldn't finish it. No one was really impressed by any of their dishes, and no one wants to come back.

Surprised on the number of 1 star reviews but after reading it was all service driven as the food…read moredefinitely deserves more than 1 star. Black Pepper beef Ribs- delish! tender pieces with grilled bell peppers and red onion made this dish pair really well with rice. Fried rice with Scallop & egg white- a little light on the seasoning but still a decent fired rice dish which with the beef ribs dish was a match made in heaven. Seafood clay pot- more tofu than seafood but still a tasty and well seasoned clay pot. Also ordered a couple of dim sum plates (Shrimp dumpling & beef Balls). Both were on par with other dim sum locales so nothing negative about their flavors. Overall service was fine; given it was the lunch hour but all the food came out relatively quickly and would definitely have a return visit.

The dim sum here was excellent and reminded me of home. Not only did everything taste good but it was served piping hot and came out quickly. The breakdown of our dishes is below: Walnut Shrimp - Hot and plump shrimp that has a bounce in your mouth covered with tangy mayo. We enjoyed the light fry. Dried Scallop Egg White Fried Rice - Fragrant but oily and plenty of flavor. BBQ Pork & Egg Cheong Fun - Soft sheets of rice noodle roll with a generous amount of ingredients. Hargow - Very good with big shrimp and a sesame oil flavor. Shumai - Soft thin skin withmore seafood than pork taste. Chiu Chow dumpling & Beancurd roll were ok but had fresh ingredients. Chicken Feet - I liked the overall flavor but it didn't seep all the way in. Parking is challenging but the taste is well worth a visit!

Hella good spot for dumplings and noodles…read more The dumplings were good- the skin was chewy and the filling was flavorful and plentiful. For potstickers the outside was browned well which added a little bit more bite to it. I liked both kinds, different textures on both. Pork shrimp chive egg filling and napa cabbage pork filling are the faves for us. For the dumplings you can have soup as well, which was clear and refreshing with the seaweed. The soup option tradeoff gives you two less dumplings. Still good imo. The pickled cabbage beef noodle soup was good. The noodles were chewy and the broth was very savory. I liked that the beef came in two variations, one sliced style and one in chunks. Both were good, tender. The spicy sauce added another taste to the soup, very flavorful. The tea was good, lots of different options. It does cost though. Good chrysanthemum puer combo.

The noodles were incredibly fresh with the perfect texture, and the broth had so much depth and flavor. You can really tell that time and care went into cooking it.

The restaurant has a cozy, authentic feel that genuinely makes you feel like you've stepped into a restaurant somewhere in Asia. It's a cute and comfortable spot that would be great for bringing the family or enjoying a casual meal with friends. Another big plus: parking is super easy! There's a free parking lot right out front, which makes stopping by especially convenient. Overall, I'd definitely come back -- especially for that beef noodle soup! If you're visiting Yuanbao, don't overlook it.
