The 16 Best SF Restaurants For A Big Group Dinner - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Since opening in 1985, this Cantonese restaurant in Chinatown has stood as the backdrop to countless graduation parties, wedding banquets, and dinners with coworkers who just spent the entire day losing brain cells at some FiDi corporate event. This place is a multi-story maze made up of several dining rooms, a full bar, and hosts who communicate through earpieces (shepherding you through a seafood-filled evening is serious business). Big round tables are in the main dining areas—once you’re seated, let the salt and pepper crab, which arrives with a mountain of crunchy fried legs, should be the first thing you order." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
