Best Chinese food anywhere
by hbee
My boyfriend and I are so happy we chanced upon this restaurant. Every time we visit SF, we make it a point to stop in for their Sweet/Sour Veggie Chicken, Black Bean Asparagus...Potstickers. One of the servers is unfriendly, but the rest of the crew is very sweet and welcoming. Everything we've had is served hot and excellent, along with the service. We haven't tried much of their Dimsum, so I can't speak to that. It's a pretty nice atmosphere/decor, compared to a lot of Chinese restaurants we've been to. This is definitely our favorite Chinese restaurant anywhere.
- Pros: food
- Cons: parking

It's not Yank Sing

The food is better than average dimsum at Los Angeles but nothing specatcular. The service is good as we were the first customers at 10:30am. :-p If you want better food and service, try Yank Sing.
- Pros: service, better than average dimsum
