Shanghai House

3641 Balboa (at 37th Ave.)

San Francisco, CA 94121

415-831-9288

This small, white-walled, immaculately and brightly lit spot serves some of San Francisco’s best Chinese food, from both its Shanghai and Cantonese menus, at very reasonable prices. Don’t miss the Shanghai soup dumplings (here called Shanghai steamed baby dumplings), the fried silver-threaded roll, braised meat balls, braised fish with wine sauce, and Chinese doughnuts for dessert. The order-ahead salt-and-pepper pig knuckle is amazing, with crispy skin and succulent, tender meat. Very popular for Saturday and Sunday brunch. Cash only. BYOB. - Meredith Brody
