The Best Restaurants in San Francisco | Eater SF
"Prince range: $$ Blocks from Ocean Beach’s foggy dunes lie one of San Francisco’s restaurant titans, a place where home-y eating merges with destination dining in quintessential Northern California fashion. Old Mandarin’s held it down for more than 30 years, serving Northern Chinese staples including cumin-spiced lamb flanked by water chestnut and peanuts, the correct crunch and chew combo. Big bowls of thick noodles decorate the scene. The beef pancakes are flakey and oily delights. And sugar-dusted mochi stuffed with dates lands on the table, still warm. Best for: Halal-friendly Chinese cuisine to blow the minds of anyone who thinks they have an even decent grasp on “Chinese food.”" - Paolo Bicchieri
