Yan Yan Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in San Francisco

My family's favorite Cantonese restaurant (since I was a kid) in Chinatown turned into a wine bar, we never thought we'd find anything comparable. My cousin ran across Yan Yan's when she lived around the corner. They are super nice, and the food is the closest to my childhood comfort food that we've found. We picked up a big order from them since this is the first time in over a year the family has been able to get together now that we're all vaccinated!

Walnut prawns: not too much sauce, good sized prawns, we ordered two and it went immediately. Black bean clams: such good sauce, and the clams aren't tiny like some places. Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce: cooked to just the right texture, I liked the oyster sauce being on the side cause sometimes it gets a little overpowering. Salt and pepper pork spare ribs: So good! They were crunchy with just the right amount of flavor. Good portions on everything (and giant portions on many things)

We recently moved out of town, but will definitely come back...

We are visitors from Michigan. With cravings for Cantonese food we googled good Cantonese food in the area and found this one and I must say I am glad we decided to come here. Not only the food was fresh and delicious, staff was super friendly and treated us like a family and gave us complimentary entrees. Our lobster with noodles entree was huge we were so impressed! Black sesame dessert was also good. We are not big fan of chicken feet but their complimentary chicken feet was so delicious as well! Thank you for the wonderful food and service I will definitely return next time...

Don't bother. I ordered to go and was told it would take 40 mins. Okay sure. I will wait. My kid is hungry but at least I know its only 40 mins. 40 mins later I call and check if the order is ready and was told its almost ready. At 60 mins, we called back and was told its getting cooked now. At 80 mins, I get there and still had to wait another 10 mins. So yeah 90 minutes of total wait for 1 noodle 1 fried rice and 1 spare rib. I don't care if the food is good or not but the wait was unacceptable. Oh, and the spare rib dish was not...
