Best Chinese food in SF!! Let Chef Fang order for you - it's insanely good. If you're a menu orderer though, I recommend the peking buns , onion cake , short ribs , pea shoot salad , & white fish

Joel Corpus

My favorite Chinese spot in SF! The must try's are the Nanking Sesame Chicken , Mongolian Beef Tower and the House Fried Rice . If you're in a large group, have the chef choose your meal.

Rui Zhang

Man this place is the gem! It turned out Chef Fang is also from Shanghai and he just decided to order everything for us. Everything was incredible and creatively tasty! Strongly recommend this place!

naveen

great vegetarian options - the bok choy starter and the housemade noodles are a great pair. and if you're staying at the W, you won't even have to cross the street to come here!

Niharika Kohli

Best Chinese food in the area. Try the chef selection option if you're a big group. They bring you food based on the chef 's choice ( they note your diet preferences and allergies). It's delicious!

Diana Arz

It felt strange when the owner took out a menu from our hands, and told to forget about it, he is a chef . I guess it seemed charming to other people, but we knew exactly what we wanted. Food was great

Vicky Iskandar

White River Fish Soup is exceptional - a great comfort soup to start a meal. The short ribs has amazing melt in your mouth texture. It's nice to have Peter order for you. Just sit there & enjoy!

Clara Wu

get the omakase . I do it every time and I have yet to be disappointed by what they bring out. they also take suggestions so give them your preferences!

An Sheng

The food is always great, and I’ve been here many times. But unfortunately there was a small live caterpillar crawling on our bok choy the last time we went.. so sad coz I really love this place

banafsheh ghassemi

Yes. Agree. Let the owner decide what u should eat. Amazing, creative dishes. Portobello mushrooms w tarragon & barley so unexpected. The short ribs , divine. I even liked the apples in the prawn dish!

Charlie Penaflor

Chef Peter Fang asked, "Do you know what you'll be having tonight?" I replied back with, "we'll have whatever you recommend!" His eye lit up and he took our menus away. The best 10-course dinner ever!

Fidel Hau

Excelent restaurant ! The pork was good and I tried some shrimps with apple with a sweet sauce , I don’t remember the name.

herm pugay

Impressed with the presentation, service and food. The picture I have here speaks for itself. I had a rice with beef dish and duck in a bun .

Maryam Aly

Second visit, the chef recognized us. Said not to worry about ordering, he would take care of us. He sent out delicious buns , veggie dumplings , pumpkin soup and the most tender, flavorful beef dish <3

Christopher Kennedy

If you want a treat that isn't on the menu, ask your waiter for their apple & chicken plate . The apples are fried and salted, while the chicken has a light honey mustard to it. It's so delicious!

Brad T

Believe this is a sister restaurant to House of Banking . We had the waiter just bring us his recommendations and literally Everything was delicious! Couldn't get enough.

David Hu

If it's your first time here and Peter asks if he should take care of your culinary quest, say yes. You won't be disappointed. And it's not too pricey either.

Jiexi Cao

Let them order for our group of five for lunch , got about 6-7 dishes for about 20 per person. Lovely authentic & fusion food, great value .

Liz Fall

So I love this place, it's a little pricey . Bring a bunch of people so you can get more dishes and just let the chef order for you.

Eugene Levitsky

Quite a few dishes seem to be deep fried. Peter ordered short ribs and fish with tofu for us, which were decent choice and priced on the high side. I may return to try the dumplings .

Mark Rechler

Reviews just okay, but it was close to our hotel and we were tired. Great choice as it was delish, fresh and creative! Service was questionable at first but then they really pulled throug.HGo for it.

Sean McBride

A little bit of a racket at dinner . "Order for you" turns into upgrading things you ask for to more expensive similar options without really giving you a choice. On the other hand, it's good food.

Caroline

Delicious. Couldn't say what my favorite dishes are as I've never seen a menu. Don't be afraid and let the staff order for you. It's definitely some of the best Chinese food I've had in SF.

Frances

Egg rolls are surprisingly good, dumpings were avg but sauce was tasty. Bf short ribs were recommene, it was okk. Good flavor but its pretty much like salt and pepper fried beef stew cubes.

Tina Saey

Put your selection in the hands of the chef . You seriously cannot go wrong.

Paul Novarese

Off the charts. Tons of great vegetarian and vegan options

Cathy ????

Get the salted pork belly with pumpkin over rice . Red pepper chili flakes gives it a slight kick. Deliciousness for under $10 during lunch time.

VJ

We let them order for us. Would highly recommend doing this if you're here with a large group.

Abby Bellare

Order family style chef Cathy #choppedchampion will bring you the most amazing dishes ( dietary constraints friendly too)

Charlie Penaflor

For large parties, request to be seated at the Tibetan room. Dignitaries usually accommodate this area. Enjoy the private, wood-lined, opulent feel. For the claustiphobic, don't use the elevator !

Dhaval Badiani

Go with chefs choice, you won't be disappointed. Onion cake and zucchini buns are awesome!!

Richard Garcia

Go and request the family style ... Say what you're allergic to and they'll just keep on bringing you food...till you can't no more!

Chef Kathy Fang developed the Brown Rice Delight as a lower-calorie, higher-fiber alternative to fried rice . Read more

DailyCandy

"An emphasis on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients make classic dishes (steamed soup dumplings , fried egg rolls , sesame chicken ) shine."

Libby Lee-Egan

Make sure to order appetizers if you're in a group because fang staff has not yet figured out how to bring everyone's entrees out near the same time

Gerry G.

Can't find anything to complain about this place. Everything is amazing and authentic !

Josh Rucker

Come here, say you've never been, and enjoy. It's fantastic.

Libby Lee-Egan

Appetizers can come out after some of the entrees, so there's no way around their inability to bring everyone's food out at the same time.

T Z

amazing dumplings . amazing beef or chicken thing with bell peppers . decent eggplant ????

Pooja

Onion pancakes . Shrimp fried rice . Awesome. Also try the Hainan punch if you want something light.

Sophyan Julio

Innovative fusion Chinese food . Great for take out . Try the short ribs .

Kidhack

The shanghai soup dumplings are only available with pork , but there are many other tasty vegetarian options .

Tatoul Adzhamyan

Everything is delicious. You don't even choose dishes. They bring one by one

Jake Levine

Crispy short rib . Get after it.

Misha Zatsman

Everything was amazing (except for the hot and sour soup , which was just okay).

Angie Chillemi

If the chef comes out and asks if you've been there before, say no! He'll make several delicious courses that you'd likely never order on your own.

Reuel Daniels

Beef buns are to die for. Love the blossoming green tea as well .

Andy Day

Lo mein was on point! Potstickers were also great. Cheap wine !
