Always greeted by the lovely owners on arrival who remember you even if it has been months between visits. The restaurant doesn't look like much and is generally empty but I keep going back for BEST duck pancakes in Brissy. BYO is also a bonus.

This place is usually empty and looking run down. However the food is surprisingly great. I would say this is the best Chinese in the Chinatown / Wickham St / Valley area. The spring rolls are crisp and tasty - home made with fresh veggies and also meat if desired. Their spring roll pancakes were doughy but nice in the crispy edges. Bbq pork and duck are specialties and very good. Good value and worth a try!

This place has great duck and BBQ dishes. The old couple who run it are lovely. They were closed for a while late last year, due to some health issues with Grandma. She’s all good again now and running the show.

This place has quite a warm and welcoming hospitality. I remember the second time I went here (with a span of a couple of years in between) the lady running the shop remembered me! (including the people I had come with) 

It's like coming to eat with your family. I have a scant recollection of the food...

Verdict: will require a revisit ... wanna see if the lady remembers me again - lol!

Best Restaurant on the strip. Dined here the other weeknight and thoroughly enjoyed it. The decor is the thing that turns most customers away but you must not let this deter you and starve your stomach of awesome food. The Aunty and Uncle there are super nice and with an extensive menu and 20 yrs experience, they make some great food. The lady has a special hot style pork that has the sweetness of honey which finishes with a bit of spice for a lovely combination of taste. The peking duck is superb as is their fried rice.

A definite must visit!

9/10. Yes, this place is very dingy and off putting on first glances but I have learnt to never judge a book by its cover (or restaurant by its appearance). Best crispy roast pork and roast duck I think I've ever had, so succulent and juicy. The lady there cut the pork straight off the slab to the size we wanted and cut it up for us, even insisted we tried a free piece it to make sure we liked it before paying her for it. The rice was free and the couple who owns is are so lovely. Don't be turned off by its appearance, this place is authentic and delicious and is also one of the best value meals I think I've ever had, so cheap for such good quality meat. Definitely going back!

Best duck in Brisbane. Best duck in brisbane hands down. Decor is awesome and the old couple running the joint are awesome too, particularly Helen. Also, best duck in brisbane.

Was a little worried when we turned up on a Friday night & the restaurant was empty. However we had no need to fear; the Peking duck was amazing! Crispy skin, tender meat & lovely owner chatting to us the whole time. Recommend the duck for sure.

It's not what you expected from the outside. When you enter, you will be greeted by a nice old couple who have been running the restaurant for more than twenty years. We ordered a whole Peking duck for two people which is served in a delicious sauce and very yummy. We highly recommend paying a visit!

The Peking Duck which is the restaurant's signature dish is an absolute must have! I went in with my partner and I have to admit we were initially slightly skeptical about it especially with the $45 price tag but boy were we wrong! It was the best Peking duck I have ever had, and if you catch them at an off peak time the aunty helps you make them just perfect so that the play of flavours in your mouth was an epic mouth-watering event with every bite. This is my new favourite, and I'm surprised not many people have found them yet. If you're ever in the Valley do give them a try, you won't regret it!

Seriously, hands down one of the most unique dining experiences in Brisbane. You won't come here for the decor or fine dining experience, instead the proprietors know their menu - and more than likely will tell you what to order. If you're lucky your duck pancakes will be made for you - and try them you must. It's only 4* - not 5 - to let you know that perhaps it's a slightly different experience than what you may be used to.

The ambience does NOT reflect the food. BUT the Peking Duck, Fresh steamed fish and string beans with pork belly were the best flavours my mouth had tasted for a long while. Our meal was amazing. The dear owners looked after us as if we were family. We’ll be going back without a doubt.

What a fantastic experience! Hands down the tastiest Chinese food I have EVER had. The Peking duck pancakes and mapo bean curd were standouts 😍 The couple that runs the restaurant are such characters and make sure your every need is met with a smile. This is an untouched treasure that will surely become your local. The ambience at face vale does not match the quality of the food and service - do yourself a favour and get to Yee Foong’s!

OMG AMAZING! BYO and hands down 100% better than The Vietnamese next door. We had a party of 5 people and ordered a variety of dishes to share. The Singapore noodles was amazing! Our bill was beyond reasonable EXTREMELY great value for money! The owners were so lovely and friendly. We will all be going back very soon!

Fist time there today. We were a bit apprehensive when we first walked in. However once we were greeted by the lovely owners we felt right at home. Everything we ate was perfect and the peaking duck was the best I've ever had. Yee Foong serves the best Chinese food in Brisbane hands down!!

I always have a great time whenever I visit. The food is exceptional (Peking duck especially), but the service deserves an honourable mention. The owners are a lovely old couple who always make you feel like you are a family member in their home. I’d recommend this place to anyone :)
