B Star Bar				Write a Review
127 Clement	Asian, Breakfast, Brunch, Burmese, Cambodian, Chinese, Indian, Pan-Asian	$$	Richmond (Inner)
This adorable, small, rustic-but-chic spot was opened by the young couple who run the more traditional Burma Superstar down the street. It features exciting and affordable fusion cooking, including miso cod, Thai salmon green curry pot pie, chicken biryani, and hanger steak and eggs. It's a... More >>

Bund Shanghai				Write a Review
640 Jackson (at Kearny)	Chinese, Shanghainese	$, $$	North Beach/ Chinatown
Bund Shanghai, opened at the beginning of 2009, is that rare find: a superb Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. Its conventional entrance, flanked by color photographs of some of its dishes, doesn't hint at either the relaxing pastel-hued modern space inside, nor its truly excellent food, featuring... More >>

China Village				Write a Review
1335 Solano (at Ramona)	Chinese	$$	Albany
Ignore the generic, brightly colored laminated menu and go for the simpler, though still lengthy, one that lists the spicy Sichuan specialties (happily, in English) that are the glory of this Albany spot. Among our favorite dishes are dumplings with homemade sauce, spicy boiled beef and... More >>

Heaven's Dog				Write a Review
1148 Mission (at Seventh St.)	Chinese, Eclectic, Noodle Shop, Vietnamese	$$, $$$	South of Market
From Charlie Phan of Slanted Door and Out the Door fame comes this chic place, featuring several spaces (a fabulous long bar, a tucked-away dining room, a more casual room with counter seating overlooking the open kitchen) in which to enjoy modern Chinese comfort food, as well as wittily named...

Kingdom of Dumplings				Write a Review
1713 Taraval (at 27th Ave.)	Chinese, Dim Sum	$, $$	Sunset (Outer)
The surroundings are worn, but the dumplings are indeed king at this tiny spot. Fresh and handmade, they range from the familiar (Shanghai soup dumplings) to more exotic (pork and corn dumplings, pork and shrimp with chives, pork and Napa cabbage, lamb and chive). They come six to an order,... More >>

Noodle Theory				Write a Review
3242 Scott (at Chestnut)	Chinese, Fusion, Japanese, Noodle Shop, Pan-Asian	$$	Marina/ Cow Hollow
As the name has it, Noodle Theory specializes in either soup noodles (in big round bowls) or saut�ed noodles (in deep square bowls). There are also a few starters (mostly dumplings), salads, and vegetable sides. Chef-owner Louis Kao uses quality ingredients, including Niman Ranch meats, and his... More >>

Poleng Lounge				Write a Review
1751 Fulton (at Masonic)	Asian, Asian Fusion, Chinese, Philippine, Small Plates, Thai	$$	Haight/ Fillmore
Gifted chef Tim Luym has perfected an alluring array of small plates inspired by his love of Asian street food. Alongside the food, the bar offers exciting cocktails and inventive nonalcoholic drinks; there's also an extensive tea program. The menu evolves, but features house-made chicharrones,... More >>

R&G Lounge				Write a Review
631 Kearny (at Sacramento)	Chinese	$, $$, $$$	North Beach/ Chinatown
One of the world's best Cantonese restaurants, right here on the border of Chinatown and North Beach. An illustrated menu makes it easy to order, but seafood lovers shouldn't miss the salt-and-pepper crab or the fresh shrimp pulled from the tanks and simply steamed with lots of garlic. We love...

Shanghai House				Write a Review
3641 Balboa (at 37th Ave.)	Chinese	$	Richmond (Outer)
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... More >>

South Sea Seafood Village				Write a Review
1420 Irving (at 15th Ave.)	Chinese	$$, $$$, $$$$	Sunset (Inner)
Truly exceptional Hong Kong style Cantonese cuisine, in a glitzy, Hong Kong-style setting. Though there are pricey dishes (especially on the order-ahead menu, as well as the shark fin and abalone dishes available anytime), the tariff is actually quite reasonable for such knowing, fresh fare.... More >>

Ton Kiang				Write a Review
5821 Geary (at 22nd Ave.)	Chinese, Dim Sum	$, $$	Richmond (Outer)
The dim sum is impeccable, whether it's the familiar barbecue pork buns or the unexpected pea tip and shrimp dumplings, and is served all day long (though the carts stop rolling sometime between 4 and 5 p.m.) in this plush establishment fitted out with comfortable booths and big, round tables....

Yank Sing				Write a Review
Rincon Center, 101 Spear (at Mission)	Chinese, Dim Sum	$, $$, $$$	Embarcadero
One of San Francisco's best dim sum houses offers dozens of little dishes, which include (in addition to the traditional dumplings) salads, Peking duck, and stir-fries, all brought to your table on rolling carts. The Rincon Center location is bigger than the Stevenson Street one, and provides... More >>

Yuet Lee				Write a Review
1300 Stockton (at Broadway)	Chinese, Seafood	$$, $$$	North Beach/ Chinatown
A lick of paint has freshened up the venerable Chinese seafood house, but hasn't eliminated any of its essential Edward Hopperesque charm, especially visible very late at night, when Yuet Lee's famous salt-and-pepper fried squid and shrimp, braised whole fish, and sauteed crab are among San...
