arizonaperson Posted September 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Where is a good restaurant to go to in San Francisco Chinatown? Moderately priced where you can make a reservation for lunch . Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philob Posted September 23, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) There is really only one place I would go to in SF Chinatown, but they don't serve dim sum: http://www.rnglounge.com/. The basement is causal and upstairs is more formal (white table cloths), same menu. For dim sum this place about 1/2 a block away down an alley: http://cityviewdimsum.com/; open for lunch only. Another place for dim sum, but not in Chinatown, but close by is http://www.yanksing.com/home.php. The good Chinese restaurants are outside of Chinatown; the even better ones are outside of the city.

KeepCalmBearOn Posted October 1, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Where is a good restaurant to go to in San Francisco Chinatown? Moderately priced where you can make a reservation for lunch .Julie Not really. Most of the really good Chinese restaurants are out in the Richmond and Sunset Districts. Yank Sing in the Financial District is the best dim sum close to Chinatown. In a pinch Great Eastern will do. The link below might help. It is a top question from TripAdvisor about Chinese Restaurants. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g60713-c196645/San-Francisco:California:Popular.Chinese.Restaurants.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philob Posted October 1, 2015 #8 Share Posted October 1, 2015 To the OP: If you have the time, venture out to the Richmond District. The current favorite is Hong Kong Lounge II at Geary & Parker Street. It's across the street from one of the original Mel's Diner locations. http://www.sfgate.com/restaurants/diningout/article/Hong-Kong-Lounge-II-Success-in-quest-for-great-5431471.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to do now ,so Richmond is out of the question. We were looking to do lunch in Chinatown. Been to San Francisco many,many times and never have really gone to Chinatown. Maybe will take one of the suggestions mentioned for lunch in Chinatown thanks again . Julie Edited October 4, 2015 by arizonaperson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted October 9, 2015 #10 Share Posted October 9, 2015 This is what we have done. Go to Chinatown. Take 15 to 20 minutes to walk around and just pop your head into a couple of restaurants and see which one is appealing to you. I'm sure you will enjoy yourself.

leongcpa Posted October 26, 2015 #11 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Golden Star (good Vietnamese food in Chinatown) http://www.yelp.com/biz/golden-star-vietnamese-restaurant-san-francisco The House (great food - technically in North Beach - but it's across the street from Chinatown) http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-house-san-francisco I consider The House to be the one of the best, if not the best, restaurant in the City.

cruisdog Posted November 12, 2015 #13 Share Posted November 12, 2015 For casual dinning, no reservations needed, my DW and I like Capital on Clay and Grant or the newly reopened Sam Woo on Clay and Kearney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
