Get the R&G special beef. The Peking duck, walnut prawns and sautéed Chinese veggies are prepared excellently!
Pocket SunAugust 10, 2014It was alright. As a Chinese foodie, I think the food here is too plain to stand out. Good variety of seafood, but the dishes failed to present the best out of the ingredients.
D BAugust 19, 2010Make a reservation! This place is super popular and large groups come often. Reservations get right in, no problem, otherwise can be a wait... But worth it...
Tiff TingSeptember 11, 2012Try the Honey Spareribs - Awesome, would definitely order this plate of honey pork ribs again.
Deanna SchoberSeptember 15, 2011R&G special beef was great, but the fried lemon chicken was our favorite by far. Very good.
Steven MillerFebruary 18, 2014Been coming here for a long long while. Used to be just a set of stairs into the basement. Still a fave.
Choak O'ConnellJuly 1, 2011Amazing food! Try the salt & pepper crab, special beef, roast duck, honey walnut shrimp and chow fun!
Hilque DairoNovember 7, 2011One of the oldest and best Chinese restaurants in San Francisco Bay Area.... Food so great!!!:-)
Stanton CadyMay 27, 2013Apparently if you don't have a reservation, you're SOL. If you get the shaft, steal candy!
Michelle WahlbergSeptember 14, 2010The place was a true find--it was suggested to us by the concierge-wow the place was for real!! It rocked!! Per Rick get the Crab!!
Kara PriceMarch 20, 2013Fantastic French Blossom martini! The crab was mediocre, but it's possible that I had high expectations due to the hype.
Tim OteroMarch 31, 2016Surprised to see the tea is teabags, not loose tea. First time I've ever seen that in a Chinese restaurant. Food is decidedly ordinary.
King Yiu ChuAugust 11, 2018Don’t bother eating here. This place sucks big time. Not sure why they have such a high rating but it’s a disgrace for the Chinese kitchen! Peking duck my ass, doesn’t tastenlike it at all!
Colby MelissaAugust 19, 2011The spring rolls are fantastic! Everything here is great. Worth the wait!!
Lauren HJanuary 16, 2010ok hi, I was filmed during the no reservations episode here, so I'm pretty much famous. trust me: deep fried crab, steamed clams + eggs, pork/dried fish fried patty. no regrets.

"The place to go for egg custard tarts... went on Christmas day and the line was out the door to the next storefront. When they say "The Best in Town", they mean it."
