The 23 Best Chinese Restaurants In San Francisco

"You go to this Korean Chinese spot in the Outer Mission for the spicy raw crab: six small crab halves sitting underneath a gigantic mound of vegetables covered in chili sauce. Put on a plastic glove, squeeze out the translucent, gelatinous-looking meat onto the snacking seaweed and rice that goes with it—and prepare for the red sauce to go flying. But don’t shy away from their other specialties. There's a great Hong Kong-style chow mein, a fantastic seafood jjamppong, an onion-heavy jajangmyeon, and some of the plumpest double-fried chicken wings around. Even with a wait, this place is exactly what a notch-above-casual weeknight dinner should be. " - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
