    Young Chow Fried Rice (Shrimp & Barbecued Pork) 楊洲炒飯
    Kevin C.

    Came here with my brothers for dinner and this spot did not disappoint! The menu is packed with the usual Cantonese classics you would expect to find in Chinatown. The prices for dine-in were quite reasonable and there were plenty of seating inside. Place seems to have a lot of history in the city with all the famous celebrities that ventured into this humble spot like Jackie Chan and Jacques Pepin! We ordered a lot of their comfort food options, and everything we had hit the mark! A few of the dishes that we loved were the prawns with scrambled eggs, minced pork steamed with salted egg, and fish fillet with asparagus in black bean sauce. Everything was cooked properly, seasoned well, and the portion sizes were great for what you pay. The service was quick and efficient. We were able to pick our own table, and the place had that family run vibe I love. The staff were very friendly and welcoming to me and my brothers. We will definitely be back for more late-night dinners here, especially when this place opens until 11pm!

    Came here with the family for dinner. This spot is somewhat of a hole-in-the-wall local shop. No frill Chinese spot beloved by locals. It has tables that accommodate anywhere from 4-8 people. We ordered dishes to share family style. My favorite was the salt and pepper pork chop as it wasn't too fatty but had the salty kick snd crispy texture. Best eaten with white rice. The Mongolian beef was decent but more on the spicier and saucier side. My least favorite was the noodles it was very bland and without much curry flavor as it's supposed to. Overall, this is a great spot for lunch and dinner.

    This was my first time coming here. The vegetables in my bowl of noodles had worms and were spoiled, not fresh at all. The service wasn't terrible, but they kept refusing my requests when I asked about the chili. I will never come back. Very disappointing hygiene standards.

    If you must, late night food after the bars. The food is ok and I would come back to try more seafood dishes. After 5 bars, we stumbled in and ordered the Beef Oyster Sauce, Sechuan Chicken wings & Prawns with Egg over rice. The staff is super friendly and service is fast, but I'd go here more for casual fast food.

    A homestyle late night eatery with authentic Cantonese dishes. The environment is friendly and comfortable. The sizzle of the wok is a constant refrain and the food can be spicy!

    Beef chow fun
    Diana G.

    I been coming to this place since I was a baby. Place still looks the same with the same pictures on the walls. Food is way more expensive now but just as good I think. Staff are still pretty nice. And you can always count on the food to be cooked up with consistent "wok hay" I always order the clams in black bean sauce and beef chow fun. This place is so nostalgic for me.

    If you're looking for a great place to have some yummy Chinese food. This is the place. We ordered hot and sour soup which was amazing. It was nice and hot though out our whole meal. We then ordered my absolute favorite, chicken black bean sauce with green beans. And let me tell you it was the best I've ever had. We also got the duck. It was good. I just wish the skin was a little crispier. I will definitely come back again.

    Nice surprise - a restaurant down the block referred us to Yuet Lee. Super good although they are on a noise street. We had veggies, beef chow fun and clay pot with hom ha (comfort food) We were able to talk and not have to yell. The staff super nice good home style cooking. Thank you!

    Fried filled tofu with fish, Long bean and fish fillet, fried noodles, peking spareribs, fried intestine, beef tenderloin
    Wendy T.

    Fried Intestines was good but small portions. Beef tenderloin and fried Sam see horfun was bland. The Peking spareribs was good. Fish and green beans was just okay. Best is the fried tofu filled with fish! Will try the BBQ pork fried rice, salt pepper squid, and clam in black bean sauce, egg gravy shrimp horfun next time

    Braised Beef Stew With Special Sauce and Roast Duck
    Sophie C.

    Loved this hidden gem of very authentic Chinese food. Stumbled across this place with a friend on Saturday evening. It's definitely has a hole in the wall interior, but like most Chinese spots, this added to its authenticity. The food was delicious, and the roast duck was especially solid. Interestingly, it got quite packed late into the night. I would definitely come back.

Once they started calling tables, it moved really fast. When we were seated, we ended up sharing a table with two other groups of two. I actually didn't mind it at all because there was still enough space between everyone to have privacy. It also made the experience feel more social -- I ended up chatting with the people to my right and left about the food. Everything we ordered was really good. Their popular dry fried chicken absolutely lived up to the hype and was probably my favorite thing on the menu... besides the cherry pork. I feel like nobody talks about the cherry pork enough! It was SO good -- kind of like a sweet-and-sour pork without the sour. I dipped it in soy sauce because I loved the sweet and salty combo together. The dumplings were also really good. The wrapper was thin and delicious, but my boyfriend said he wished they had a little more protein filling and less leek. The green beans are always a hit. The only thing I probably wouldn't order again was the black bean sauce noodles. Maybe I just expected a different flavor, but to me they honestly tasted like regular lo mein. I'm also not a huge noodle person in general, so I'd probably skip them next time and order something else instead. Forgot to mention their prices are on point! Definitely recommend to any of the tourists. I think the weight is definitely worth it and I love being able to take home my leftovers and eating them for lunch and dinner the next day.

The place was packed at lunch, which is usually the best sign, but turnover was quick and I was seated faster than expected. The lunch special is a solid value with soup, rice, and an entree included. Started with the hot and sour soup which had good balance and depth without being overly thick or aggressive on the vinegar. The dry fried beef was tasty. Great texture, nicely cooked, layered flavor, and the kind of dish that keeps you reaching back in even after you're full. Service was efficient, food came out quickly, and the whole place has that old school neighborhood energy that makes you understand why it stays busy. Not trying to reinvent anything, just executing the classics well.

    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.

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.

The presentation is fancy and luxurious. We ordered both the scallops and abalone shui mai. The abalone is okay but the scallops ones are way better. We also ordered the lotus leaf with abalone. While it looks so fancy, the rice is really wet but not binding together. The flavor is lacking as well. The best dish was the Iberico cha siu (bbq pork). It was so tender and flavorful. All of their food would looks really good on IG but I personally prefer my food have wonderful taste than wonderful photos. The service was good overall but it is a little slow given how fancy the food looks like. Empty plates were not removed until requested or when new plates have nowhere to place.

There is a parking structure next to the tea house but it gets challenging during the weekend. I would rather take ferry and grab a Lyft next time. Will I be coming back? Maybe but it will not be my top choice while I'm in SF. Will I recommend? Yes! You should absolutely try it for yourself!

The dumplings had a good amount of filling and were hot and fresh. The scallion pancakes had plenty of scallions which I appreciated. I mean it wouldn't be scallion pancakes without the ample amount of scallions, right?! Lots of customers were having breakfast and I noticed many people ordered congee, so it must be one of their best sellers. Our bellies were satisfied and we were out of there in under 30 minutes. Bill came out to be about $23 after taxes and before tip. This place is great for a group of friends or families to sit down and have a meal while visiting Chinatown. 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.
