Best Restaurants in San Francisco’s Chinatown | Eater SF

"Begoni Bistro is a neighborhood favorite, and at lunchtime, the tables quickly fill up with locals vying for a bit of dim sum and full-scale dishes like braised fish in clay pots. Classic options on the dim sum menu, like sticky rice in lotus leaf and siu mai, are excellent, but also worthy of a mention are the steamed Chaozhou dumplings with pork, celery, mushroom, and peanuts, or the delicately battered and fried golden pumpkin dish. Diners who like to end their meal on a sweet note will want to try the steamed black sesame balls, which come in a set of four with finely crushed peanuts on top." - Dianne de Guzman
