When ever I order from here, it usually takes no longer then 20 minutes for them to deliver. The food is consistantly good and they are always nice and efficient on the phone. If you like Chinese you will love this place!

Hot, fresh, and delicious food every time. I've been a patron of Tai Chi for years. They have never let me down. The Generals Chicken and the beef and asparagus in black bean sauce are two of my favorites. Last week I went with some friends to eat - we had a wonderful dinner and I'm sure we'll be back for more soon.

Pros: excellent quality, lot's of options, delivers to most neighborhoods

Cons: parking can be tough on Polk Street

Food was fresh, hot and delicious. The service was friendly and prompt and after 3 entrees, 2 beers and a bill of less than $40, I was impressed.

Pros: fast and friendly service, fresh food

Cons: Rest could use some updating

The Tai Chi… I tried this place last night with a few friends from out of town and we were all happy as Larry! Great food, great service, great portions and even better, a cheap bill at the end! Décor may be a bit too simple for some but it’s very clean (including the Loo’s (always a good sign)) Haven’t tried the takeaway yet but definitely will. Very impressed.

The potstickers are great. Definately worth a trip for a night out of good food. Highly recommended.

I remember the first time I ate there with a friend from my college days at Chico State in the late 1970s. We were staying around the corner at a local motel, and we accidently bumped in to Tai Chi's for some lunch. Wow, on a college budget we ate to our heart's content. And the food; the tastiest and freshest stir-fried shrimp with equally a fresh side of asparagus. We also ordered a side of chinese eggplant. It was so tasty and affordable that I have taken friends and family there every-time we visit San Francisco. Even my Cantonese wife enjoyed the food! A real gold-mine!

Pros: One block from Van Ness Ave./HWY 101. Great food and outstanding value!

Cons: Parking may take a few trips around the block but hey, it's downtown San Francisco!

The delivery dude grunted, handed us our food, and shuffled off, we crowded around the table and dug into the meal. We ordered: Pot Stickers General Tsos Lemon Chicken pot stickers: meh. The Lemon chicken definately was the most palatable of the courses. Unremarkable breaded white meat with a lemon sauce. The General Tsos--this destroyed us. Copius amounts of it in a take out box made me incredibly giddy, but once I bit into it, I knew I shouldnt have. This basically was a bucket of soggy, 90% fatty dark meat slathered in spicy, and way too sweet tso's sauce. Some of the bites even actually made me gag. I tried to look for the white meat parts, but those were few and far between. I gave up about halfway into my first serving, pre-emptively drinking some pepto. Highly, highly not reccomended. We're sitting here now feeling very ill.

Cons: bad health records, sickening, disgusting.

I read the reviews online, and decided to give this place a shot. The delivery was fast, portions were huge, but the food was sub-par at best. I tried the General Tsao's Chicken since so many peple raved about it, but the chicken was really fatty and not good. The egg rolls were ok, nothing special. The sweet and sour chicken was also really fatty. I would not eat there again.

Pros: delivery, huge portions

Cons: food

Editor's Review

Longstanding Chinese spot in Russian Hill known for its spicy pot stickers and inexpensive Hunan and Szechuan dishes.  See the full editorial review.
