★★★★★ Joseph Klee a month ago

You can feel the history in this restaurant—awe-inspiring ambiance and kind, attentive dinner service—a truly memorable Chinatown experience in San Francisco.

★★★★★ "Ignore the negative reviews, this place was wonderful. We actually overheard the concierge at our hotel recommending it to another guest, and when our kids started complaining of hunger while exploring Chinatown, we decided to stop in for a quick bite before our early Thanksgiving dinner.

★★★★★ "The details and atmosphere are stunning. From century old chandeliers and murals to crown molding and vibrant colors, this restaurant will have you immersed in culture.
