"This Chinese spot is one of the city’s best places for a group dinner, thanks to the downstairs dining room with big round tables and shareable Sichuan dishes. Go for one (or better yet, two) of the whole Peking ducks with stretchy pancakes and all the fixings, plus the fiery chili chicken and green onion pancakes. There’s also beer and wine that sets the pace for a night out of hitting the nearby bars in Chinatown or North Beach." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
