San Franciso Chinatown

Brandy ho's just outside Chinatown on Columbus. It's incredible.

I guess people are just downvoting me on principle because the place has great food.

last time I was in San Francisco we went to Hong Kong Clay Pot on Grant Street. authentic vibe and food.

It depends on what you are looking for.

For American-Chinese: The House of Nanking is good.

There are a few authentic places that don’t have any English on the door.

Reds bar for a mid day/afternoon beer.

China Live is incredible in a new, 'clean' space. At the other end of the spectrum as far as atmosphere look into Good Mong Kok.

R&G lounge

Had a great meal here.

If you have a car, do yourself a favor and head 15 miles south to Millbrae and the Shanghai Dumpling House. Also, as a native of the area, believe me when I say, Clement Street, can rival anything you can get in China Town.

- Begoni Bistro is the best example of classic Chinese, in my opinion. Hunan's Home, across the street, is very good, too, but better for groups.
- China Live is a fantastic experience. Bit more modern and I'll always stop in their market on the way out.
- City View has awesome dim sum, but it can take time. I prefer going to Dim Sum Bistro, which is across the street from China Live.

r&g is probably the best choice for first time SF china town experience
