"Getting to this Cantonese tasting menu restaurant in Chinatown requires an elevator ride up to the sixth floor, so expect anticipation to build as you ascend (and let your ears pop, too). Once you make your grand entrance, you’re greeted with intricately carved wooden pergolas, a brightly lit marble bar, and expansive views of Chinatown, North Beach, and the bay. Sitting in a plush teal booth along the windows is the move—that way, you can watch the sun dip below Coit Tower while cutting into the excellent dishes like jasmine-smoked short rib bao and scallop and caviar rolls." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
