Four pieces served with three sauces. Prosperity dinner $88
M.Y. China, San Francisco CA
I’m not sure how 4 pieces becomes 2 pieces with only 1 sauce, but I think it’s lame – FAIL! If your menu says one thing, maybe you have the responsibility of actually delivering what it says.
Wild seasonal mushrooms, sichuan pickled vegetables. Prosperity dinner $88
M.Y. China, San Francisco CA
Although this was SUPER greasy, it had a good flavor that I enjoyed. It would suck if you’re a vegetarian though because the menu description doesn’t mention bbq pork anywhere! What a surprise you would have received.

This tasted fine, but I was a bit bored by it (like most of the food at M.Y. China). *yawn*
Shrimp, scallop, calamari with mixed greens and mushrooms. Prosperity dinner $88
M.Y. China, San Francisco CA
This was actually pretty good (surprising since I’ve hated almost everything I’ve had at M.Y. China). The seafood was good nicely (not overcooked) and the sauce was light and didn’t overpower the ingredients.
Skin-on, four pieces. Prosperity dinner $88
M.Y. China, San Francisco CA
The duck tasted pretty good and I liked the crispy skin, but these buns just felt sad. The shells were also dry and hard.
Malbec, Siete Fincas, Mendoza, 2012. $9
Tempranillo, Ramon Bilboa, Bodia Alta. $9
Shanghai pork dumpling, crab roe and meat dumplings. Prosperity dinner $88
M.Y. China, San Francisco CA
I really hate this place. The service is amateurish and the food is mediocre. We only came back to use up a stupid gift card! These dumplings were bland and sad looking.
Bean sprouts, scallion, wood ear mushrooms. $14
M.Y. China, San Francisco CA
Have I expressed how much I hate this restaurant? Well I do. This dish was on the 7×7 list and if they ever place another M.Y. China on a future list, I’ll happily skip it. The service and food here are just crap and I refuse to support them any longer.

Bulleit bourbon Manhattan. $17
Really?! Seventeen dollars for a Manhattan?! Ugh, can this restaurant closed down already?
Sichuan peppercorns, arugula. $18
M.Y. China, San Francisco CA
This was our waitress’ suggestion, probably because it was one of the more expensive options. Well, it was horrible! The beef was SO frickin’ dry and bland. The sauce was pretty much seared onto the beef and made it really hard to chew and eat. And serving this gross, dry beef over a sad pile of arugula was another lame choice by this lame restaurant. The beef was only luke warm so there wasn’t even enough heat to wilt the arugula so everything just stayed dry.
Steamed rice. $2
Red pepper, scallions, crispy noodles. $9
M.Y. China, San Francisco CA
Oh dear god, why did we come back here?! These lettuce cups were just sad and boring. It was like a typical beef stir fry thrown on some lettuce with some fried rice paper shred tossed in. The service was just as shitty this time around, the food was marginal and over-priced, and my old fashioned tasted like a disgusting piece of sweet-ass candy (and you know how much I love my bourbon drinks)! It was murky and off-color and tasted like crap. I seriously hate this place.
Old Fashioned: bourbon, gum, angostura bitters, orange peel. Happy hour $7
Ginger, garlic, M.Y. seasoned salt. $8
M.Y. China, San Francisco CA
Ok, I did appreciate that these soup dumplings were individually spooned for easy eating. They also tasted pretty good which I wouldn’t say about some of the other dishes we had at M.Y. China.
‘Cobweb Buttons’ hens and chicks (Sempervivum arachnoideum, Crassulaceae), Castro Street.
Crisp chicken bites, jalapeno. $9
M.Y. China, San Francisco CA
Chairman Mao’s chicken must be the sad, poor cousin of General Tso’s chicken. These chicken bits weren’t any better than the frozen variety from Safeway, just sprinkled with a mound of MSG! The dipping sauces also tasted like they came from bottles purchased from Safeway. No, not even from a legitimate Asian market. From Safeway…
Spring has sprouted!
Scallops, shrimp, spinach wrapper. $9
M.Y. China, San Francisco CA
This dish was SO mediocre that I don’t even remember ordering it. That’s not surprising because the food runners tried to drop off several dishes that we didn’t order. So perhaps we really didn’t order this in the first place. At least they were consistent with their lameness. Get a clue!
White, lavendar and yellow large wild iris/fairy iris (Dietes grandiflora, Iridaceae) flowers, Castro Street.
