Cantonese barbecue: roast duck, char siu, pork belly
"This Cantonese barbecue shop’s crackly-skinned roast pig and succulent, honey-brushed char siu — served either on its own or as part of a rice plate — make for some of the most luxurious bites in the city. For most of Hing Lung’s existence, delivery was never an option, but during the pandemic, co-owner Eric Cheung signed onto delivery apps under the moniker Go Duck Yourself, though of course customers can still walk up and order takeout." - Eater Staff
"This Cantonese barbecue shop’s crackly-skinned roast pig and succulent, honey-brushed char siu make for some of the most luxurious bites in the city. For most of Hing Lung’s existence, delivery wasn’t an option, but to add another revenue stream, co-owner Eric Cheung finally signed onto Uber Eats under the moniker “Go Duck Yourself.” Old-school Cantonese comfort food is the name of the game: superlative roast duck and other barbecue meats served either on their own or as part of a rice plate." - Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff
"When you see the roast ducks hanging in the window of Hing Lung Company, you know that meat is the star of the show. The shop has a singular focus: Cantonese barbecue. Take a look at the meats on display, and pick up a platter of tender roast duck, succulent barbecue ribs, or crispy pork belly—all prepared fresh daily and sold by the pound. The poached chicken (which you can purchase whole or half), is also impossibly juicy and comes with your choice of sauce (we like the herbal brine ginger sauce). Serve them with other dishes at home for dinner, and save yourself some of the labor of cooking. Or, for the ideal working lunch, you can also order a small portion of meat that includes rice and vegetables." - Megan Zhang, Julia Chen 1, Ricky Rodriguez, Lani Conway

"With a sassy name to match its legendary import, this Chinatown legacy business opened in 1977 and is well-loved for its rich, tangy Cantonese-style barbecued meats. This business was added to the registry in March 2023, cementing the restaurant in the annals of San Francisco history." - Paolo Bicchieri
