The 38 Essential Restaurants in San Francisco

"Sam Wo is arguably the oldest Chinese restaurant in San Francisco, though over the course of its more-than-a-century-long run, it did vacate its original home. No matter: Step inside this narrow Chinatown mainstay and you’ll see there’s still plenty of history to go around. It’s a no-frills dining room with nimble if not overly attentive service. Go to experience classic Cantonese American cuisine including favorite dishes such as bouncy barbecue pork rice noodle rolls, ginger-scented jook, and wok-kissed chop suey." - Lauren Saria, Dianne de Guzman
