The Tastiest Cantonese in San Francisco

HL Peninsula Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (720) • $$$

"The best restaurant for dim sum in the SF Bay Area! It's been my favorite for years and I return every time I visit. Their dim sum is high quality.Some of my favorites are the purple rice paper shrimp rolls, the salted egg custard lava steamed buns, and the Peking duck - it's literally the best around.The two locations in SF are very spacious. They have private rooms available for large parties and their venue is available for wedding banquets as well. Lots of tables and bright lighting, but don't be fooled, HL Peninsula is so popular that they are always busy, even on weekdays! Be prepared for a wait, especially on busier days like weekends and prime Chinese brunch hours."

Rice Monster

★★★★☆ 4 (51)

"When I was younger, I was known as the "FAN TONG 飯桶" aka Rice Bucket, because I ate SO much rice and I HAD to eat rice for lunch and dinner in order to be full. Obviously, at my old age now, I had to cut out the carbs so it was a treat to be trying out Rice Monster (located inside Social Eatery). .:: FOOD ::.Chicken Feet and Pork Ribs $15.99 (+$1.99 Chinese Sausage add on): chicken feet, sauteed pork ribs, chinese sausage. Comes in a clay pot and a very known canto dish, 煲仔飯. The rice on the bottom crisps up as it sits on the pot . Very simple dish. Wish the pork ribs were more on the salty savory side, it had more sweetness to it, and I wish the chicken feet had more meat to it. .:: Service / Ambiance / Parking ::.Terrible Service. Pretty much self service on everything. You order on your phone through QR code. Wait was super long and unorganized. Located inside Social Eatery, but there's no waitlist, no way to put your name down. You literally just wait at the door in line (very narrow if I may add), until a table opens up. They need to at least let you write your name down. My friend wanted to ask if we could add something on our order and the waiter was so rudely annoyed. He did a big sigh, rolled his eyes and was like no your order is in you cannot add anything. It was SO hard to flag ANYONE down, we just went up and grabbed things ourselves: napkins, to go box, etc. All the waiters literally did was bring food out and thats it. The place has a cute little exterior outside, when I went it was during Halloween week, it was decked out in Halloween decors. The inside had logs / wooden vibes as table. There were ones in high chairs, ones with benches, ones with low tables/ chairs. Parking was scary. The parking lot is SO narrow and small. I feel like its asking for an accident to happen. I would recommend parking on the street, its much more space and safer."

Guangdong Barbecue Tea House

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (142) • $

"We got a tea smoked chicken in lieu of turkey for Thanksgiving and it was really tasty. The meat was silky, tasty and flavorful. And it came with a sweet soy sauce."

Harborview Go

★★★★☆ 4 (8)

"The food was good. It is a bit on the pricey side. Just a bit. But the food was really good. Very authentic Chinese. The service was actually good and very fast. If you're looking for really good Chinese food this is the place but don't be surprised with the bill. It's worth it. If you want to impress you can with this place."

Ming Tai Wun-Tun Noodle

★★★★☆ 3.6 (322) • $$

"Solid spot for a quick HK breakfast. The service is prompt and the food comes out hot. My family enjoys getting a rice congee, side and hk milk tea combo. Depending on which combo set you order there are different sides available. We often opt for the sticky rice, pan fried radish cakes, or Chinese donut wrapped in rice roll. Just a note if you go too early they might not have gotten their shipment of Ho fun (wide flat rice noodles). However you can always chose from their selection of vermicelli or udon noodles if you opt for a soup noodle dish. Make sure to bring cash as they do not accept cash."

Tam's Cuisine of China

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (414) • $$

"Went to this establishment for my brothers birthday. It was his choice and the Mongolian beef was high on the list of favorites. We had the scallops in black bean sauce, Mongolian beef both of these were so good we ordered again.The lemon chicken was good but my brother wasn't a huge fan of this dish. The fried prawn were a delicious appetizer. The complimentary jasmine tea perfect for a drizzly night in Pacifica. Staff were attentive and personable. This has been a family favorite for years. Happy we were able to go back."

Steam

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (686) • $$

"Omg! Omg! Omg! That's pretty much all I gatta say! Amazing food! 1st time here and I don't regret it at all. Super affordable and the service here is so good. Everyone is so polite. The ambiance is really chill and the food is so good. I would totally go for the wings!!! The wings with sauce. The beef soup YUM!!!"

Old Pier Hong Kong BBQ

★★★★☆ 3.8 (105) • $$

"Came to Old Pier Hong Kong BBQ for dinner which offers both a la carte or "set" menu options. I say "set" only because you get to select from a small list for each category (soup, entrees, fish, etc) which is a pretty neat concept in my opinion. We went with the set for 4-5 and honestly, the food was probably enough for 6 modest appetites. And at $78, that's a pretty good value!My favorite dish of the night was the roast pork which had that nice crackling skin, crisp meat, and buttery fat. They also serve it with sugar which is something you don't see as often but very HK style. Other good dishes included the sautéed beans which were crisp and fresh, the crab and fish maw soup which wasn't too thick and featured a decent amount of both premium ingredients, and the pepper beef ribs which were tender and had good flavor. The onions were also carmelized nicely so they weren't just inedible filler (sorry, I'm not the biggest fan of raw onions).Service is as expected from a Chinese restaurant so don't set expectations too high. The floor is also kind of greasy so just watch your step."

Pearl Bay Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (494) • $$

"This is my mom's go to dim sum restaurant in town. Even though dishes cost a little quality, and service just can't be beat. It's always busy, so we always get there right around opening. Huge space that can host banquets as well!"

Good Mong Kok Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $

"Went here to the famous Good Ming Kok bakery a few times and there is always a line. I always see people lining up here and had to check it out. With over 3k reviews, this place has to be good, right?! The fan of this place mainly love it. The place is small and only for pick up, no dine in or seating inside.. My faves here are the scallion bun which is big, super soft and buttery, and a steal for the portion. So delicious! I love bread! It's always best when you get it fresh. It almost never arrives home as I snack on it while going home. Their BBQ pork buns are good, too. We had their shrimp dumplings, baked pork bun, Shu main, egg tarts, scallion bun and more. With everything we bought, the price was very decent! It's best to go early but there is a wait in line. Going after lunch, there is only so much left and limited things to buy as they run out fast. I just wonder where they cook everything and I don't see a kitchen and this place is super tight inside even when customers line up ordering. All street parking so good luck finding one! I wish they were closer to our place or a second location with better parking.They don't speak very good English but as long as you point it out while saying it, you should be good but they are quick so make sure it's what you want. Oh and it's cash only!! Must try! Don't let the rating and line fool you. I think it's worth a try. I'm thinking of the scallion bun and I want some again! [5R,2025]"

New SF Asian Pearl Peninsula

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (778) • $$

"Context: I came here for lunch with my family and arrived around 10:55am on a Sunday.Seating: When we first arrived there were plenty of open tables and no line. That being said, the staff will ignore you unless you walk up to them and get their attention, so we had to flag down wait staff to get a table. The silver lining is that they did seat us without our entire party being here, which is really nice since most places require the entire party to be here before being seated.Ambiance: Starting around 11:15 (once the restaurant filled up), it had the normal busy and bustling ambiance of your typical dim sum restaurant (minus the carts).Ordering: Ordering is done by marking how many of each dish you wanted off a menu, which was convenient! That being said, it took a long time for everything to come out. We were there for 1.5 hours and dishes were still coming out. We wanted to cancel two of our items since they took too long to come out and we were full. The wait staff only canceled one of them and marked the other as served / received even though we didn't get it. We tried to get them to take it off our bill, but they gave us complimentary orders of sesame balls and char siu bao to make up for it since they said it would be complicated to revise the bill. To be fair our group did order a lot of items. Make sure to double check your bill, especially if you ordered a lot of items or requested to have items removed from your bill if you didn't receive them before getting full.Taro Dumpling - 1/5: It was still cold on the inside and tasted sour, which it shouldn't have. They did try to make it up to us by giving us a complimentary order of pineapple custard buns.Pineapple Custard Buns - 4/5: Taste is pretty good and the had a nice color, but the inside was still doughy.Spicy Pig Ear - 4/5: In this dish, the pig ear pieces are cut in strips rather than thin slices, so the crunchy pieces of cartilage are more noticeable. Overall, the taste is pretty good and has a nice numbing taste / feeling. I do wish the spice / chili was more fragrant though.Shrimp Rice Roll - 5/5: The pieces of shrimp were pretty big and the dish is pretty tasty! It was exactly what we were looking for!Dumpling Items (Siu Mai, Har Gao, Scallop Dumpling, Chiu Chow Dumpling) - 5/5: Absolutely MASSIVE dumplings and all around pretty tasty! Would highly recommend!Chicken Feet - 4/5: These chicken must have been dinosaurs with how big these feet were! The flavor was pretty decent, but the feet themselves were not as soft as we'd like them.Portuguese Egg Tart - 4/5: Flavor was on point, but these were so flaky that they basically disintegrated the moment you picked them up.Egg Yolk Lava Buns - 4/5: Pretty standard, the taste was pretty good, the bun itself was nice an soft.Pork Spare Ribs - 5/5: Fresh out the steamer when it got to our table, tender, and the right amount of spicy.Lobster Yi Mein - 4/5: Tasty lobster and noodles with the right amount of bite / chew! We wish there was more in the dish though.Sesame Balls - 5/5: Tasty, not over cooked, and not too oily!Jasmine Tea - 5/5: Fragrant / fresh tea leaves that didn't need to be replaced the whole time we were there! And we had the tea refilled more times than I can count!Service - 3/5: The wait staff were really diligent about refilling tea and resolved all of our comments about our orders, but it did take some back and forth / haggling. Not to mention needing to flag down staff to get seated at the beginning."

Empress by Boon

★★★★☆ 3.9 (578) • $$$$

"So you'll feel exclusive as you ride the elevator to the 6th floor. Give your reservation at the entrance and again once you arrive on the 6th floor. Great wine list and interesting diverse drink choices. The Big trouble in Little Chinatown was a hit. There was beer, including Chinese, but no one sampled. Otherwise due to the prix fixe menu, the only choices were do you want to add a course of Peking Duck or a flight of wines. Have no worries you control freaks! Every course was very very very good. No one added the duck. At the time we were all sufficiently stuffed, but now I regret not having tried it. We shared the chocolate and ice cream dessert, which was pretty good but pricy. Honestly portion was too small to share for most people. The view is amazing. If you want to impress your date/ clients / in-laws, this is the place. Best view of Coit Tower other than up close. Easy walk from the Hilton financial district."

Canton Dim Sum & Seafood Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (220) • $$

"Nice Cantonese restaurant serving dim sum, mid week lunch rice plates, and common Cantonese dishes like Lobster, Crab, Shrimp with Walnuts, Chow Fun and Chow Fan.We went on a quiet weekday and the front room was packed. The rear room is open on weekends for larger dim sum crowds or for banquets. Wheelchair access is available through the rear room as there are steps at the main entrance.We had:- Dim Sum (Siu Mai, Pork Riblets, Chicken Feet, and Salt & Pepper Eggplant). First time having Salt & Pepper Eggplant ever! So rare and we liked it! All of the dim sum came out hot from the kitchen.- Singapore Rice Noodles - Canton Restaurant makes a drier version with more curry spice than other restaurants. We like our Singapore noodles wetter but this was ok, just different.- Beef Stew and Tendons in a Clay Pot, moist beef stew with a good amount of soft tendons. Also has Foo Jook in the clay pot.Service was very good, tea constantly filled, servers fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, and leftovers packed on your behalf. Many places just hand you a box...Overall, we'll go back. Parking lot is always a plus!"

Harborview Restaurant & Bar

★★★★☆ 4 • $$

"Brought my parents here for dimsum and they were big fans! I made a reservation on OpenTable which I highly recommend and we were able to get seated fairly quickly considering how busy the restaurant was. The service here is amazing and the food is really good as well. We got a lot of different items to try such as the baked char sui bao, chicken feet, truffle XLB, roasted pork belly, green beans, and various other items. The food here is a bit pricier than the average dimsum restaurant but the quality shows. Definitely a new go-to for family dimsum days!"

Grand Harbor Dim Sum & Seafood

★★★☆☆ 3 (973) • $$

"We had our wedding reception banquet at Grand Harbor, and it was great. The food was really good and the restaurant was willing to accommodate substitutions. Steven, the manager, was great to work with and had good recommendations for vendors. Service during the reception was very accommodating, especially for our sweetheart table, and helped facilitate a fun, celebratory atmosphere. Thank you Grand Harbor for hosting our wedding reception!"

Four Kings

★★★★☆ 4.3 (239)

"There's a lot to love here so I will try to get to each thing. TLDR: great food, great servers, great people, great atmosphere.On a whim, visiting Chinatown, a quick google search for some chow fun led me to four kings. On the approach I joined a line forming at 530pm for a 600pm opening. People showing up at 530pm knew the lore. You cannot be seated into this restaurant unless you made reservations 3 weeks in advance and chances are they book up before you wake. BUT, if you line up before opening, 10 lucky ones get seated before the reservations roll in. With that said, my fiance and I counted the line in front of us, we were number 11 and 12. Finally 6pm rolls around and the whole line was pumped to share the excitement of being turned away temporarily with the promise of a seat in the next 30 mins to an hour. BOOM, the first 10 people get their seats and we go on a wait list. 30 mins no biggie. They were kind enough to send us a text while we browsed nearby souvenir shops. Finally being summoned, we were greeted by the kind hostess that lead us to our seats. There were all kind of exotic solid fusion items on the menu. We went with the steak chow fun, the pea shoots and spicey cabbage. All solid and delicious flavors. The staff was very cordial and our water glasses were never empty. Every interaction was warm and made me happy to be there. You know that feeling when you think the stripper is actually into you? Like it's convincing? No? Never been to a strip club before? Well now is your chance. Jkjk. The interactions are wholesome. You feel the love. The great food, warm staff and vibing with the others in line made this a beautiful evening. I would do it again."

Porridge King

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (695) • $$

"It's an alright place for some quick Cantonese style food. Prices has steadily increase to the point where I think Panda Express provides a better value. It's not bad but it's not greatQuality of life has been improved as they now finally accept cards as payment since it used to be only cash only business. Menu has also been updated."

Ocean Pearl

★★★★☆ 3.6 (147) • $$

"Would be 3.5 stars It was highly recommended by a friend The result was quite different Have mixed feeling Ambience- loud, busy, spacious, little services Food - inconsistency Some dishes were tasty with good amount work favors Some were lacking taste Maybe need to give it another try"

Cheung Hing

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (369) • $$

"Someone recommended this spot to me. I was apprehensive with the Yelp reviews being so low but I had to try it based on the recommendation so I decided to order takeout from Postmates. Here's what I got:1 - Westlake Beef Soup - one of my favorite soups and so underrated2 - Fish with Tender Greens - simple and clean3 - Braised Mustard Greens with Mushroom - they don't specify on the menu but these are Shitake mushrooms)4 - Young Zhou Fried Rice 5 - Two Item BBQ - I choose roast duck and roast pork (I could taste the crispiness in the duck skin and the crunchiness in the roast pork skin)Given that this was a to go order, everything was packed really well in plastic containers and as for the taste, I was pleasantly surprised. The food was fresh and high quality. Everything tasted as I would have expected for this kind of establishment. Nothing was too over-seasoned or greasy. Just as expected, no surprises. I can't say anything about the service or ambience because I didn't dine in but this will definitely be on my list of rotations when ordering out. One thing I love about ordering Chinese take out is that you'll always have leftovers that will still be good and last a few days."

The Spicy Shrimp

★★★★☆ 3.6 (193) • $$

"My friend always raves about this restaurant as her favorite cheung fun (i.e., crepe rice noodle) spot, so I had to make the trip into Chinatown to try Spicy Shrimp... and boy have they mastered their craft here. The rice noodles here are light, thin, and spread evenly with copious amounts of your protein choice (beef pictured) for a perfect bite every time. Unlike the typical dim sum rice noodles, this street-style dish is customizable with extra toppings like egg (my favorite) and corn. One plate was honestly plenty for lunch to me and my friend - great value for money at $7~9 per person. The only caveat from my last few visits was the cramped spacing and one occasion where the kitchen forgot our order. Would check in with a waiter after 15mins or so."

Yin Du Wonton Noodle

★★★★☆ 3.7 (462) • $

"Was in SF chinatown looking for a noodle shop to satisfy a craving and stumbled upon this place. The shop is not big, maybe a handful of tables and you often need to share tables if you have a small party (like 2 people) and it can get crowded. BUT don't let that deter you from coming here! They have a quick turnaround so you won't be waiting long even if there is a line. It is cash only but there are a few banks nearby in case you need to run to the ATM.We ordered #8, the stewed beef brisket and rice noodle soup and a side order of the steamed beef tripe. Both were delicious! The beef brisket was super juicy and tender, paired with thicker rice noodles and a couple pieces of vegetables. The noodles were a little over cooked but for a shop like this you can't expect the noodles to be perfectly al dente. The tripe was tender and chewy and served in some soy sauce. The dish can actually be a bit spicy depending on the chopped jalapenos used! My bf loves this dish and am glad we decided to order this on a whim. If you're in this area this place is a must try, especially if you are a noodle soup lover."

Golden Wok Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.2 (134)

"This place is one of my personal favorite Chinese restaurants I go to. Is not the best looking interior but the food is amazing."

Hon's Wun-Tun House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (357) • $$

"I discovered Hon's Wun-Tun House in San Francisco's Chinatown through TikTok and Yelp, and I can see why so many people felt compelled to share it. The restaurant offers an authentic experience, and despite having spent years in the Bay Area, I had never been to Chinatown before. I made a special trip to immerse myself in the culture and, most importantly, the food--and it did not disappoint.The food was outstanding, and the customer service was great. Despite the restaurant being packed and the staff incredibly busy, the waitresses were attentive--not just to us but especially to my grandson, who absolutely fell in love with the place. The atmosphere, the flavors, and the overall experience made it clear why this restaurant has been around for over 40 years.Anytime I'm in the area and craving this food, I will 100% stop by. Honestly, even on a day like today, when the craving hits, I'd gladly drive from San Jose to Chinatown just to enjoy these dishes again. The food was fresh, cooked to order, and absolutely delicious.A must-try--10/10!"

Palette Tea Garden & Dim Sum

★★★★☆ 3.7 • $$

"Our review for @paletteteagarden in San Mateo:- Price point: $$ (~$50 pp)- Cuisine: Cantonese (Chinese)- Ambience: Located inside the Hillsdale mall, the interior is cute, can get busy during holidays and weekends. Parking is generally easy- Food review:This is our go to dimsum spot, we love most of the dimsums we have tried here. 1. Xiao long bao (8/10): This gets more points because of how beautiful it was presented. The colors of the baos along with the complimentary matching dipping sauce is super adorable.2. Siu mai (9.5/10): These were perfect! Soft and moist and just delicious!3. Lobster hargow (9.5/10): Another dimsum which just always hit the spot!4. Crab butter dumpling (9.5/10): This was super unique, first time tried this dumpling and just loved it!Give them a try, if you are local! They have branches in other places as well!OF COURSE, WE WILL BE BACK !Recommended for: Dimsum lovers"

"Hop on over for authentic Cantonese food with the fiery flavor of the wok!! 鑊氣! The dishes are worth it.Pro tips: they have the fish fillet clay pot Without bones and with tons of fish! Just state it and ask to make sure - also if you want bean curd strips too. Then we just tried their beef shank in clear broth. Yep! I highly recommend it: clear, savory, sauce and soup go well with rice, and packed full of beef stew! Get it! For carnivores."

Great Eastern Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.3 • $$

"Recently celebrated one of my siblings' birthday here with his family. We originally wanted to go to another dim sum restaurant nearby, but that place doesn't take reservations and we had 7 people in our party so that's a no-go. Luckily, Great Eastern has Yelp reservations which is very convenient. Great Eastern had been around for a long time. It was here when I was a child and my dad used to take me to lunch. Also, our family occasionally gather here when we have out of town guests come to visit.On this day, we ordered a lot of dim sum and food. It's good luck to have lots of leftovers. Everything was delicious. We had a great time. Although a bit shabby in the interior compared to another newer renovated dim sum restaurant, this place is still very popular and good. Hope it stays around for many more years.Located on Jackson St. in the heart of Chinatown between Kearny and Grant."

Taishan Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.8 (182) • $$

"Hadn't been to Chinatown in a long time. Streets are not as busy at night but the restaurants are getting a lot of tourist and local love. I was surprised how good their food here was. Porridge was flavorful. Fried pancake was really good, light and flaky. Tasty too. Their Chow Fun was my favorite. Not sure if they make their own noodles but it was delicious. I highly recommend you order. Their dim sum was also delicious and served all day during their business open hours. I highly recommend to dine here when you are in Chinatown. Service was excellent. Love the small family vibe. Cheers!"

Yank Sing

★★★★☆ 3.6 • $$$

"4 stars for online reservation, validated parking on weekends, overall cleanliness and service.This is not your average Chinese dim sum restaurant, Yank Sing is expensive (my average tab is $120 for 2 people) and the portions are small. Do not expect to get your monies worth. The food is good, and their hot sauce and mustard are excellent.I particularly like Yank Sing for lunch with the family. Because they offer validated parking, it makes the family outings very safe and convenient. There's usually enough time to explore the Ferry Building or nearby places before the parking validation expires.Tip: always book a reservation (online) before coming, otherwise you may experience a long wait time."

Little Szechuan

★★★★☆ 3.6 (674) • $$

"We ordered delivery from Little Szechuan and it was delicious, fast, and hot! It came in an adorable reusable bag. Lil Szech has plenty of vegan and vegetarian options to choose from. Prices are fair for the portions. And ample cutlery and diverse sauces are provided. The only issues I had was that rice is not included in the meals, so make sure you order a side of rice if you want it. And the Crispy Tofu in Chili Oil isn't tossed in sauce. While delicious, the description is somewhat deceiving. The potstickers are chunky bois, and really tasty as well.Lil Szech is definitely worth a try!"

Dim Sum Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.3 (455) • $$

"The secret is out and the best place to get dim sum in the neighborhood now goes to Dim Sum Bistro. I can't vouch for the entire menu but navigating hole in the wall spots like this, usually each owns a handful of the staples you seek as you venture through the Chinese aunties and uncles throughout Chinatown fighting over cheap groceries and Chinese foods to start your Saturday or Sunday strong. I primarily pick up the shu mai, har gao, and baked barbecue pork buns. All seem to hit harder than all the spots nearby that we've tasted over a lifetime of living in the Bay Area. The shu mai are big and flavorful and lack fillers like bittermeon that I find at other places that I'm not the biggest fan of when I'm eating my **meat** dumplings (you know what I'm sayin'?). The barbecue pork buns are soft, chewy and have the perfect amount of barbecue pork inside and surpassed quality and taste from chinatowns here to Oakland. No matter when I've gone, there's always a line but orders are fulfilled quickly and I'm usually in and out in 5-15 minutes. As a Chinese American and look around at the people waiting in line and I love seeing all the different faces there that aren't just Chinese like myself, and I smile to myself that these people know what up and the neighborhood secret is out. And I love it."

Taste of Four Seasons

★★★★☆ 4.4 (31)

"I actually ended up at this restaurant by accident--I originally planned to dine elsewhere but stumbled upon Four Seasons instead. At first, I was hesitant, as it was a newer spot, and I needed to book a reservation for a large family dinner of 16, so I wanted to ensure it was an exceptional choice.After meeting with the staff and then revisiting my original restaurant option, I ultimately decided on Four Seasons--and I couldn't be happier that I did! From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. Melody went above and beyond to guide our non-Chinese family through the menu, recommending incredible dishes that perfectly complemented each other. The entire team was welcoming, accommodating, and genuinely kind.Even my extremely picky mother--who rarely praises restaurants--raved about how delicious the food was! Everyone at the table couldn't stop talking about how much they enjoyed the meal, with several saying it was far better than the restaurant I had originally planned to book.I would LOVE to come back and highly recommend anyone in the area to check out this hidden gem--and be sure to visit Melody and her amazing team!"

Good portion of perfectly tender lobster. $24.99 is an excellent price!Steamed chicken is also perfectly tender and flavorful! A Half portion is $16 and plenty for 2-3 to split."

Hing Lung Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.7 (226) • $$

"Hing Lung is still one of the most authentic Hong Kong-style Chinese food in San Francisco. I've been going there since their original location in SF Chinatown. So why only 3 stars? Overall, I was happy with my recent visit. Food was good, the dining experience was enjoyable, but when it came to the bill...!!! I presented my credit card and the waitress told me that there will be a 3% charge for using a card. Many places only accept card if your bill met a certain minimum, which is certainly understandable, especially with mom & pop stores, to implement this policy since the credit card fees are quite high and it means they basically make little to no profit if you have a small bill. But charging for simply using a credit card is outrageous. There was no forewarning. Merchants are obligated to display all possible additional charges at the register or any place where it's viewable by the patron, such as on the menu. I didn't see any on the menu; but I admit, I don't know if it appeared at the register since I was dining in the restaurant and there was no reason to walk up to the register. I learned today that what they did was wrong. Effective July 1, 2024, California passed California Senate Bill 478, which made it "...illegal to surcharge credit card transactions in California...California businesses are required to disclose the total price for goods and services upfront to maintain transparency and protect consumers from being surprised by additional fees when it's time to pay.""

New Hollywood Bakery & Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (131) • $

"The restaurant was full at lunchtime on a Monday. There was a short wait before I was seated. I ordered a wonton soup $8 and a crispy tomato beef noodles $13.75. It took about five minutes for the soup to come out and another 15 minutes for the crispy noodles to arrive. The wontons were tasty with pieces of minced meat and shrimp. As for the crispy noodles, the chef messed it up. I asked for less sauce and it came out smothered. Most of the noodles were already soggy. There's no sense in ordering crispy noodles if the chef is going to do that. There's only one waitress for the entire restaurant. Service is slow but I don't blame her. Pro tip, the restroom key is tied to a tin can on the bakery counter."
