Modern Chinese-American favorites: orange chicken, kung pao
"The annual Kung Pao Kosher Comedy show is going down virtually on December 25th and 26th. And this year, you can order takeout from their food partner, Lazy Susan. The casual Chinese spot has a four-course menu ($45, serves two) with things like hot and sour soup, potstickers, and, fittingly, kung pao chicken. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"Positioned as a would-be Domino’s of Chinese food, the owner of Lazy Susan, Hanson Li, rolled out a 10 percent-off-everything deal in September after noticing other San Francisco restaurants were raising menu prices; inspired by McDonald’s $1 menu and drawing on experience from his first restaurant group behind Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream, Li hoped higher sales would offset the discount. He reports the tactic has paid off so far, with average checks up about 10 percent and foot traffic up about 15 percent as people buy extras like an extra fried rice, and the discount will run at least through Thanksgiving." - Paolo Bicchieri
"The fast-casual Chinese American restaurant is moving to West Portal at 811 Ulloa Street, which meant the 208 Fell Street Hayes Valley location closed as of February 13." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Recently relocated to West Portal, Lazy Susan continues to serve modern versions of Chinese-American favorites like beef broccoli, orange chicken, and mapo tofu made fresh and with quality ingredients." - Lauren Saria
"Moving to a new West Portal location at 811 Ulloa Street on February 16—coinciding with the restaurant’s one‑year anniversary—Lazy Susan, the Chinese‑American spot that debuted in 2021 in Hayes Valley, will keep its original Fell location open through Sunday, February 13." - Lauren Saria
