Hing Lung Cafe - South San Francisco

The L5 XO醬腸粉煲 Rice Noodle Roll Pot with XO Sauce is amazing. The F14 雲吞撈麵 Shrimp Wonton Lo Mein was my first time having traditional lo mein and it was very good. Really good wontons. The food was very good quality in my opinion

There was so much sand/mud, empty shells, and dead clams in my "fresh" clams congee.

I was so surprised by how the A2 牛脷酥 H.L. Fried Donut was still crispy when it arrived to my door! The E2 荔灣艇仔粥 Sampan Congee was delicious, not too salty and have a lot goodies inside. They definitely didnt not skimp out on the thing inside the porridge. The L7 乾炒牛河 H.K. Style Beef Chow Fun was very good. Not too oily and was definitely a large portion. The L4 牛腩腸粉煲 Rice Noodle Roll Pot with Braised Beef Stew surprising was my least favorite. Ive had this when Ive dined in the restaurant and I loved it. But this was a bit of a miss for me probably because it was not in the clay pot for one and it didnt have the smoky flavor I remembered. It did have a lot of beef stew so that was a plus.

Food is great. Not salty, not spicy. Everything is right for me.

Service was minimal. There were 7 of us and ordered a set meal for 6-8 persons. However, when dishes were served, there were only six servings. When asked for additional servings, the staff stated that is what they can provide. The restaurant is strict in running the business, not flexible, and won't gain any return customers.
