Distinctly pastoral compared to other San Francisco neighborhoods, the Richmond boasts the Clement Street strip. Often known as "the second Chinatown," it's where you'll find a wealth of Asian (and Russian) restaurants, often a few grades above those in Chinatown in terms of ambiance and amenities.

Burma Super Star Restaurant
