San Tung is strictly a Chinese food restaurant , but their wings are unique. Head to the Sunset for their specialty dry wings , which are deep fried and flavored with ginger , red pepper , and garlic . Read more

"This place is known for its crispy , spicy fried chicken . While that always gets me in the door, I never skip an order of the shrimp & leek dumplings . They are a must!" - Chef Christopher Thompson Read more

Martin Cunanan

Everything was delicious. We ordered dry fried chicken wings ???? , pork dumplings , ???? mushroom , bamboo shoots & snow peas , beef fried rice . The fried rice was very eggy, but we liked it ????????

SFGate

The wings are expertly fried and glazed with a sweet ginger-garlic sauce, but the menu goes beyond poultry ; the cold plates and appetizers section of the menu is vastly underappreciated. Read more

Dina S

Dry fried chicken is a must. You'll see people eating it with chopsticks &it's actually the best way. Make sure to put you name on the dry erase board when you arrive-to get the next available table.

Madhu M

Dry fried chicken wings . Possibly the best wings in the world.

Jimmy Rush

I have been looking for so many great cooking over the year, They are so authentic in here. I tried everything that I could, from the soups to the dumplings and everything was excellent.

BuzzFeed

Voted one of the best chicken wings in the U.S. by Food and Wine , San Tung’s variety are just the right amount of sweet, spicy and (deliciously) greasy. Read more

Nancy Tran

I can't stand eating in restaurants with long wait lists, but San Tung is my ish! Dry fried chicken wings are a duh! And order cold noodles too. Love the sautéed string beans and dumplings also.

SFist

What can be said about the Inner Sunset 's San Tung other than OMG WE CAN'T GET ENOUGH. The wait is long and the service is appalling, yes, but the food is cheap , crazy-good, and plentiful. Read more

Kyle Fowler

Probably the best chicken wings I've ever had. No matter what you're hungry for, just get the wings .

Tim Deng

Dry fried chicken wings were amazing!

Kylie

I don't like wings , & these ones rocked my world. The secret is out about this place, so the wait is long. Put your name on the list & sneak to the Mucky Duck 2 blocks away to slip in a quick whiskey .

SW Johnson

One of the best restaurants I've eaten at in a long time. I have been going here for about 3-4 yrs. I really like this place a lot. It's fast paced but delicious.

Epicurious

The incendiary Original Dry Glazed Fried Chicken Wings at this Chinese restaurant have such a huge following that there's a wait for lunch and dinner every day. Read more

Ros Hodgekiss

Everyone talks about the chicken wings , but I reckon the hot and sour soup is where it's at. Smells like earth, tastes like heaven.

Simon Tan

The best dry fried chicken wings in the entire Bay Area. Dry fried green beans , won ton noodle soup and any black bean dish.

Asia Kwan

For the vegetarians out there: try the fried veggie potstickers and the veggie mushu! Also if you're with meat-eaters ask for the chicken wings with sauce on the side. That way you can use the sauce!!

Meenal Tambe

I've never had a bad meal here! Definitely get the chicken wings and string beans . The kung pao chicken was probably the best I've had. enjoy!

Amy Matsuno

Besides having the best, most succulent wings known to mankind, accompany them with two other hidden gems : the garlic flash fried string beans and the pork fried rice .

Serious Eats

Famous dry fried chicken wings often mean long waits—come early, or during off hours, to get your saucy, sweet-and-spicy chicken wing fix.

Trucy

The fried rice is my favorite in the city : fluffy and moist, not too oily. And of course their dry fried chicken wings ???????? ????

Diana Arz

All the reviews are right. The chicken wings are amazing ????! Potstickers are really good too!

"You will have to wait for a table, but worth it. Order the Dry Chicken Wings lunch (kimchee , soup , wings , rice -$7.95" -Linda Cahill

jonathan gettinger

The black mushrooms with baby bok chow (a vegan dish , they tell us) at San Tung are worth the wait

Vi Tran

Chicken wings , dry string beans , black bean sauce noodles are my go-to orders.

Cody Hard

Wings were awesome, black bean noodles (jjajangmyun) were tasty. The chicken they use in dishes like the black bean chicken is disgustingly over tenderized. Super soggy and just kind of falls apart .

WhiskyAvenger

The dry fried wings are some of the best wings in SF.

Pete Merriman

The wings , dry and glazed. But you probably already knew that. Also the mustard greens noodle broth was delish

Ami H.

Thought the wings were tasty but yeah, a bit too treacle-sweet to take the crown. The kimchee however, was chock full of umami tang and we killt it ded.

H K

Chicken wings were amazing.

SEGA

The best Chinese in SF and often crowded with locals. Long waits for tables are common, but takeout is always fast. The Dry Fried Wings are a must! – John, Development Services Director

Karsten

Wow - MUST order the dry fried chicken with the glaze. Also try the honey walnut prawns , everything is amazing!

Alex Chen

Chicken wings . Can get em at the same family's cafe next door to go if you're in a rush.

Bernice Chow

If you're in a hurry, & don't want to share a table & awkwardly stare at your table mates, holler at the dessert shop next door. Same damn menu, no awkward stares. Oh, dry fried chicken wangs, git it!

Brandon M.

Chicken wings are great, but many other spots in the Sunset have them just as good- and without the line !

Alex Rodriguez

Kim chee was free for 20+ years. It's worth paying for now.

Brad T

One of SFs best for sure. Go early or just go next door to avoid the wait.

Dan Chen

The dry fried chicken wings and the leek dumplings are excellent. Skip the black bean sauce noodles , SO has better.

Epicurious

Our insider tip: Avoid the line by ordering takeout , and enjoy your wings in nearby Golden Gate Park , only one block away. Read more

Christine Ha

Best dried fried chicken & black bean noodles . Next door shares same kitchen with shorter wait. ???? ????

Joshua Nguyen

Chinese-Korean / Korean-Chinese - whatever, it's a bunch of familiar flavors jacked up in intensity. The chicken wings are popular and I'm a sucker for the seafood noodle soup .

Ting S

Those chicken wings ...don't miss it. They also have great soup noodle and dumplings .

Krista S

Must get the chicken wings . That is all.

Paul-Eric Baluyot

Awesome chicken wings . Slightly spicy sweet and crunchy. Every table had an order of the chicken wings !

Daniel Machado

The dry-fried strings beans are awesome! Oh and of course the dry-fried wings are an absolute must!

Donald

I disagree with last reviewer. Think the dry wings are the best wings I have ever had and I have eaten a lot of wings in my day. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Shirley Liu

Chicken wings , green beans , and black bean sauce with dry noodles are the must haves.

Russell Adams

Tough to find a parking spot nearby. Be sure to get your name in the list quick.

The wait staff looks like a hipster , indie band working their day jobs. Hope they make the big time. ????????
