The Best Chinese Restaurants in San Francisco | Eater SF
"On cold nights prior to the pandemic, many of the regulars who’d crowd the small, scruffy dining room at Old Mandarin Islamic would order one of the spicy Beijing-style hot pots. The restaurant, which specializes in Chinese Muslim cuisine, is a great place to feast on lamb whether stir-fried with cumin, braised, or boiled in a clay pot. Chile-heads will want to test their endurance against the side dish slash condiment known as la si ni, or “spice you to death.”" - Lena Park
