SF Chinese Gems

BEST hk roast meats in sf full stop

an institution for a reason

top dimsum

top dimsum

also kinda gentrified but undeniable quality

GOOD xiaolongbao

kinda gentrified and famous but remains top for a reason

newer to the city but REAL shanghainese like not commonly found dishes

dank food, dingy interior, all part of the experience

real shanghainese food by shanghainese ppl. get the shengjianbao (pan fried dumplings)

tastes like gmas house

top (and maybe only?) xian in sf

near perfect rendition of this dish for my palate

they straight up don’t speak english here but get the liangpi + dapanji (big plate chicken) for some of the best you’ll have
