Reviews
KILLER authentic Chinese food. Noodle soup is rad. Atmosphere is freaking awesome. Pretty much the best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to.
This is THE place to eat in Chinatown. The history itself makes the visit worth it, many of the decor is original and over 100 years old. But beyond just the historical significance, this place is family owned and the owner and the daughter are so nice and sweet, the customer service is impeccable. The food is delicious, I highly recommend my two favorites: General Tso’s Prawns and Mongolian Prawns Chow Mein
You can feel the history in this restaurant—awe-inspiring ambiance and kind, attentive dinner service—a truly memorable Chinatown experience in San Francisco.
