Yuet Lee Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in San Francisco

Truly a HIDDEN GEM! What they lack in interior decor, they make up for in phenomenally tasting food! We did no research, we randomly chose this place, noticing a pic of Guy Fieri on the window outside. We figured it must be good if Guy has been here. It certainly did not disappoint. Our server did not speak any English, which we took as a great sign that the food was going to be amazing & authentic. We pointed and she made notes, she said some things we aren't sure we understood (possibly indicating by hand motions that we should share the small soup I ordered, but we were STARVING & he ordered too) & we joked that she may not have gotten the correct order. Being adventurous, we decided immediately that whether she got it right or not, we would eat whatever she brought. We ordered the Salt & Pepper Squid. It came with soy sauce with sliced jalapeños in it. It was delicious! Then our soups came. Despite the fact that we ordered a small, the bowls were enormous & definitely enough in just 1 to share, she was onto something when she motioned to the 2 idiot Americans to split it! But we are on vacation & we want to experience Chinatown & as many yummy foods as possible! I got the Wonton Soup with Prawns, but it also had carrots, bok choy, pork & some Squid in it! It was absolutely delicious! He ordered pork Noodle Soup, which also had bok choy in it, and he raved about how the pork was the perfect level of tenderness & sweetness. We could not have been happier with our selections & did our best to eat as much as we could! After our visit, I looked it up online and found that this place comes highly recommended by several foodies & celebs, such as Anthony Bourdain, Guy Fieri, Emril Lagasse, Jackie Chan, Saveur Magazine & the NY Times! It's also open late. Despite all the clout, they remain un-americanized & true to themselves, which is exactly the experience we were hoping for!

DEFINITELY...

My first suggestion is to stay AWAY from this place. I'm a local SF person and personally I got to say. This place has a degrading inhuman customer service. Now this is how everything went with my visit today. We went in and first thing we ordered was plain porridge for my 1 year old son. This waiter thinks we are only ordering one item and told us we have to order more. I mean seriously what is up with that right? I saw a paper saying 8 dollars minimum per person. Really a minimum of how much a person has to order??? My parents just wanted to sit and eat and go. We stayed and this waiter did not even get a high chair or booster chair for my son.

We ordered 4 items with plain rice. Since I finished my food faster I went and got the car to pick them up. While I was driving my parents told me. Here's the part that will make your eyes pop wide open. The bill was about 90 dollars for 4 items. Ask yourself if this place is worth your hard earn cash. Inhuman customer service and mega super expensive food. I went and calculate my bill and was about 60 dollars without tax Even if tax was added and round it off to 70 dollars. Where did the other 20...

I ordered a pick-up via Postmates, and when I went to the place, the guy behind the desk asked me to pickup the package with my name on it. I went ahead and picked it up. But right than another guy showed up from behind and yelled at me asking why I am taking the package?! I said I ordered through Postmates and your guy told me to pick it up myself from the table. He snatched the package from my hand and told the to show ID. I showed him my ID, he hold it up against my face to match with my picture in the ID. He asked my name, I told him my name. The whole situation was so embarrassing for me I said, "I am not going to run away with your food". He mockingly said," ohh yeah yeah", and shoved the package in my hand and just kept looking at me angrily (his expressions were like that all the time). I wasn't able to believe what's going on, I just left the place with my order. I have a feeling that he treated me cus the way I look. Cus i have seen him and his staff treat other Asians with care and respect. I just hope this...
