When you get to R&G, order the "live battered crab deep-fried and sprinkled with salt & pepper " right away. It's huge and deep fried with tons of extra batter for your enjoyment. Read more

R&G is one of the few Chinatown spots that delivers . Make sure to try its famed salt-and-pepper crab , Peking duck , walnut prawns , and other Cantonese banquet favorites. Read more

Maria Seredina

Seriously addicted to this place and their Kung Pao chicken - have to go at least weekly to dine in or take out ????. Fried crab and duck are also great

Mike Winston

Excessively decadent & pretty pricey , but my god that whole Salt & Pepper Crab is unbelievable. Salty & crispy with the sweet richness of fresh crab meat. You gotta try it one time. WinstonWanders.com

For group dining that's a notch above hole-in-the-wall, R&G is one of the few Chinatown spots that delivers . Try its famed salt-and-pepper crab , Peking duck , and walnut prawns . [Eater 38 Member]

Good Cantonese food in San Francisco. Famous for their salt and pepper crab which is indeed delicious. Go in a group so you can order more food and go family style ! Service is fast but super crowded .

Brian Strauss

My favorite Chinese restaurant that is not dim sum in SF. We come during crab season and absolutely pig out. Get the black bean crab and ask them to make it spicy .

jansen c

Authentic Cantonese food , their salt & pepper crab , steam fish and steam egg with clams are really delicious at a reasonable price. Must try!

Emily Leung

Our group's must-have dishes: fried chicken stuffed w/ glutinous rice ("loh mai gie" - must call and pre-order with reservation ), salted egg yolk fried crab , dried scallop egg white fried rice

Wilson Favre-Delerue

CRAB ????! Though I'd recommend banning deep fried versions (such a shame for such refined flesh)! Beyond that, delicious EVERYTHING. The place to come when one's China/Canto nostalgia kicks in.

Matt Healy

If you're not here for the crab , half a Peking duck + a lighter entree is a great amount for two.

J Crowley

Salt and pepper ???? crab is like eating fried chicken , but crab ! It's pretty insane. That and the 1/2 order or Peking duck is a perfect dinner for two.

Gary Bacon

Always excellent.. reasonable prices, wide variety of selections. Always busy so make a booking or get there early. There is a good bar so have a drink a chill out for a while.:-)

Emerson Sampaio

I am very picky with food. I do not eat too much. I eat well ! R&G Lounge is one if not the best chinese food I've ever eaten in my life. I strongly recommend the Roasted Duck . It is sublime.

Chefs Feed

"This great soup has shrimp , scallops , pork , dried scallops , and chopped winter melon in it. Use the pepper on the table to season it—it's there for a reason." Chef Corey Lee Read more

The Peking duck is really good. The three little treasures with black bean sauce is very tasty and the scallop and steak cubes dish is always a hit. Be prepared for a wait.

KC Star

Everything is good here. From Hong Kong style Chow Main to Salt and Pepper Crab , even a simple Pok Choy with Garlic was delicious!

John (aka “PHATFoodFan”)

Every time I get the baked cod , I taste heaven because this place is the god of baked cod .

المهره الصعبه ماهي لأي خيال

Not very fancy but the food is one of its kind. Try the lychee martini , the king crab and the black cod ❤️

May Lee

The charsiu is seriously comparable to Hong Kong standard! And it's a very good lunch deal ($10 for charsiu wonton noodles )

Olga Zhukova

Best Chinese I've ever tried and I've been to Boston and New York Chinatowns places many times! Must! Btw Michelin recommended for many years

Bommy

Definitely make a reservation . Off-menu broccoli and prawn prawns with honey walnuts are best, although they could really add some more walnuts to the dish.

Ashley Shen

Perfection, we always order: Salt & Pepper Crab (duh), Three Treasures, Roast Duck , and Chinese Broccoli with Garlic Sauce . Never fails, always amazing.

Jennifer Feng

Really good salt and pepper crab ! Reasonable price too! Must order ! The soup is also pretty authentic and is actually HOT, not warm ! Highly recommend !

Leslie Frausto

Amazing wonton soup , duck was incredible. I will definitely be back and will order the crab that looked delicious!

Garry Tan

E fu noodles , crab , and beef dishes are all must eat. Mustard greens also super good.

Tracy Playle

Food here is excellent but they sell shark fin soup which is incredibly inhumane. Please support in trying to get this otherwise excellent restaurant to take this unnecessary dish off their menu.

Ness ???????????? M

Best crab dish in town . Also try the special beef and abalone with fresh greens . You'll enjoy these chef 's specialties.

Monica???? ????Carrera????

The crispy duck is delicious! Every portion of the rest of menu can be shared up to 4 people

Brad T

Lots of great food (won't even mention the crab ). Dont let the line fool you...they run a very efficient lunch . In and out quick!

Martin Assmann

Authentic Chinese food , including specialties like swallows nest soup . This restaurant is also mentioned by the famous Michelin Guide.

Thomas Wong

Salt N pepper Dungeness Crab and Seafood in A Clay Pot is incredible. The Chinese Banquet menu is wonderful but expensive ! A great place for special occasions !

Mystie Rodriguez

The best king crab in the city !!! We went here twice in a week for the crab cooked 4 ways. Amazing!

Nick Thulin

The crab is fantastic!

Ada Chiu

Salt and pepper crab was amazing! Also ordered the prawns with walnuts and that didn't disappoint. Can't wait to come back here.

Nicholas Yudha

The crab is a must. Ordered the special beef , and honey chicken with garlic too. Great food.

Andrew S

Salt and Pepper crab is one of the best things you'll ever eat.

Basheer Bergus

Everyone raves about the salt pepper crab and there's a reason: crab is illmatic

Tatevik Parsamyan

The special beef is really delicious! Tender, saucy. Just a tiny bit sweet for my taste. Definitely a must try dish!

Ashley Edery

Easily best Chinese food . Salt and pepper crab is everything and more you'd expect it to be.

Athena Chang

Try the Special Beef - Glad to check out Anthony bourdain 's spot. Delicious but small portion. (via @Foodspotting)

Liz

Chicken with broccoli was delicious. Fresh and clean flavors. Service was fantastic too!

Eater

It's step up in price from the typical Chinatown joint, but the cavernous R&G is a favorite of many and the fried Dungeness has become a signature. [Eater 38 Member]

Jennifer Kielmeyer Pritchard

The roasted chicken is very good, but even the half is enough to share between two or three with a side of steamed rice .

Yazeed Alshobaili

One of the best Chinese restaurants I have been to in my life. Should try it if ever in San Francisco.

Roger Ma

Ordering their signature crab dish is A MUST!

Shan Lu

Great place, I don't normally like Cantonese style Chinese food but this one is awesome and everything I have ordered so far are delicious !

Gayle Maccia

The crab is delicious! Just the best downtown Chinese food without going to Clement Street.

Stephen Bassman

Try the Salmon Avocado Egg Rolls - You get four small halves, w s&s sauce. That was a delicious 90 seconds. #chinese #SF

Agatha Yu

Steam clam and garlic stir fry pea sprout. Great for early weekday dinner
