Friendly staff and good quality Chinese food. Can ask them to be low sodium and MSG free.
I've been a big fan since I was little when the original Hing Lung was in Chinatown sf. When they reopened this location we been coming every weekend highly recommend their fried chicken wings, fresh liver and meat ball congee, pork and preserved egg congee. We always pair the congee with their fried bread and fried donut (the sweet one)
Great place for congee, chow mein, & chow fun. Portions for the Hk beef chow fun was large. The chow mein was average since it wasn't crispy. Congee was hot and bubbling when it arrived to the table. Will try again for dinner.
I love the hing lung in San Bruno. First time here got the E9 yellow chicken (ranch chicken) congee and E12 fish congee. 12.99$ each. Both have great flavor. Fish was smooth and flavorful, chicken was tender not dry and slightly salty. Loved the quality of taste here would come again 10/10.
Every chance I get , my friend would drive me here and eat my Favorite dishes, this place reminds me of Hong Kong , the jook jook and the dry beef flat noodles wow,, and the fried sweet donuts so so tasty, must order every time . Worth every bite. All the food comes out fresh hot , anywhere else is get plan tickets goes straight to Hong Kong to eat these type of food.. hope one day I can try the family meals set menu.. worth worth saw others order from it ,, how I envy them ,, go Early 11 am opens n be there , go early for good street parking. See all my other food pics from my other yelp account..(Sandra g) on yelp..
My fiance and I this morning wanted to have some Chinese during brunch today (since it was like around 11am). We've seen this spot having wonton noodle soup which was what my fiance was craving for the past couple days, so we were really stoked. When we arrived and saw the menu, our eyes widen on how big the menu is! My fiance changed his mind and got the minced pork lo mian, and since I wasn't feeling the greatest recently I decided to try their congee. We loved everything that we ordered, we even mumbled to each other while we were eating," everything we've ordered has been fire." We both loved the fact the interior of the restaurant is very family style ambiance that we actually like it more than the dim sum spot next door. But it's just because we like the more homey feel! Obviously this spot has the typical Chinese service, which never bothers us and we always know that just means that the food will be delicious! We will definitely be walking back here sooner than later to try the rest of the menu!
Street parking can be hard but we were lucky to find one not too far away. It was busy on a Saturday evening with what seems like a lot of regulars. We were a party of 5 and they sat us at a table for 4 and added a chair on the end. Once we ordered, they moved us to a big table. We ordered way too much for 5 people. Ending up taking a lot home. Everything was very good. Except the veggie was a little too tough/mature. And the mixed mushroom with egg tofu was not mixed mushroom but only one type of mushroom. The egg tofu was very good with the broccoli. The bbq pork with chicken appetizer was good too. The bbq pork was so juicy and flavorful. Portions here are very big and prices are reasonable.
5 star food. 3 star experience. Delicious authentic Chinese food. The Mapo Tofu is incredible. Salt and pepper pork - delicious. 5 The restaurant is a little dingy. The service is a little slow. They prefer cash. They don't take Amex and charge a convenience fee for Visa MC. The place is always busy. If you can get past the look the food is well worth it.
