10 Great Old-School Chinese Restaurants In SF - San Francisco - The Infatuation
"Walking into this Hong Kong-style cafe in Chinatown is like going back to the pre-Bluetooth era. It’s easy to spend a couple of hours forgetting your notifications exist in the cafeteria-style booths, with a cup of extra strong milk tea in one hand and a warm pineapple bun in the other. If you’re here for a full-on meal, the salt-and-pepper wings are always a great choice, as is the macaroni soup. But we usually like to swing by for a jolt of caffeine and a pastry, best enjoyed while overhearing some nuggets of juicy neighborhood gossip." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
