The food was good but portion sizes were not the typical chinese family style i'm used to. Service was a bit slow and dishes came out one at a time (so I never got to eat my rice with my beef while both were hot) but they were able to seat my large party fairly quickly. Ambiance was clean and good lighting up on the top floor. Overall, a good experience - just would've ordered more food next time knowing the portions were so small. read more

Eating here, I was reminded of the meme that the best Chinese restaurants are rated 3.5 stars, great food but poor atmosphere. Because yes, the R&G dining area was crowded and looked much like my childhood kitchen from the '60's (yellow flowered wallpaper, white ceiling, square-tiled flooring, round metal table and chairs). Yet, the food was delicious.. We had the Prawns with Honey Walnuts, half Peking duck and my wife splurged on the Lobster with Sticky Rice. My favorite turned out to be the Prawns, large, fresh and lightly tempura-battered. The duck, and especially lobster, were messy dishes, made messier by the lack of knives, forks, crackers and mallets I'm used to preparing such dishes with. The duck was chopped, served bone-on, so fingers were necessary to pull apart the meat. Likewise, the lobster was served in pieces and I believe was meant to be cracked although the claw meat was terribly difficult, dare I say painful. to reach. If able we'd have taken the lobster home and properly broken out all the meat. Instead, we left much of the lobster on the plate. Still, a fun place. We enjoyed our meal. read more

Craving Cantonese food while at a conference in SF and was recommended this place. I think most of the lower ratings were about service. However, this place had pretty authentic service to what you would found in Hong Kong or Guangzhou. The salty egg pumpkin and shrimp was my personal favorite. They don't really have this in Seattle at least not for the price. Coming from Seattle, SF prices were actually lower than Seattle for better food in my opinion. We had a last minute group of 8. Had to wait about 30 minutes on a Friday night around 8 pm. read more

On a recent trip to San Francisco, my friend and I were craving good Chinese food after a long road trip and afternoon of sightseeing. We tried to do a little research, but things were closing on the early side. A friend suggested this restaurant that he had dined out with his family went in town. We arrived about half hour before closing, and the place was huge. There was a bar, bar area and it appeared to have at least 3 to 4 dining rooms on multiple levels. It was very lively and full. They told us they didn't have a table, but we absolutely begged and agreed to order within five minutes. This was no problems since we had already looked at the menu before arriving. Everything looked and smelled so good at the other tables that we just had to try the Peking Duck. It was crispy, juicy and fantastic with the scallions and bow, as well as as the hoisin sauce. I've been craving this dish for a long time and the restaurant fulfilled all my cravings. We ordered the seafood garlic noodle. They said they were out of crab, but still charged us the full price. I think it's a personal thing but for me the noodles were too thick and I didn't get much garlic flavor. It also had quite a small amount of seafood although the shrimp and scallops inside were on the large side. I missed the crab. The mixed vegetable dish with mushrooms was so fresh and had such a lovely combination of vegetables. It even had lotus root, and everything was cooked to perfection. I think on par with the duck my favorite dish was the eggplant with garlic sauce. The menu said it was spicy, but for me, it was not too spicy. It had bamboo shoots, black mushrooms, scallions, and other mouthwatering seasonings. The eggplant looked caramelized, but was so tender inside. I could eat this every night if I lived closer or even in town.! We ordered dessert in advance, which was the mango Sago. It tasted like it had mango and pomelo along with the tapioca in a mango flavored pudding. We all loved it. We got there when they were closing, but I found the service to be a little abrupt. They were loudly banging dishes as they were cleaning tables, and they were rushing us, and also forgetting things we kept asking for. However, the food more than made up for it. San Francisco definitely has excellent Chinese food and this place is a shining star. They had a sign outside saying they are celebrating their 40th year. read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the city so decided to come here for dinner with my family. I made a reservation for Saturday at 6:15pm on tock and was pleasantly surprised that there were so many times available. We arrived and it was packed, just as I assumed. We were originally seated at the lowest floor but ended up moving to the 3rd floor since it didn't feel as cramped up there. We ordered a few dishes - salt and pepper crab (my all time favorite), golden supreme fried rice (good wok hei), honey walnut shrimp, baked Chilean sea bass (30 min prep time and came out crispy on the outside and flavorful), and veggies. No complaints on any of the dishes, they were just as tasty as I remembered. The portion of each dish was definitely smaller for the price. Our server was friendly and service was quick for the most part. Great restaurant for a get together with family and friends. Definitely recommend making a reservation if you can to ensure that you don't have to wait long when you arrive, especially on the weekend. I'm glad that the quality remains the same after all these years. read more

Stopped by R & G Lounge in Chinatown around 6:00 PM on a Wednesday. I just walked over from my hotel and grabbed a table, though the place was already filling up fast. The food came out quick. The fried rice was fire--honestly might be the best I've ever had. I also had the sea bass, which was solid, but seeing the salt and pepper crab at every table around me made it clear what the move is for next time. That dish looked incredible. Definitely coming back to run it again. They make a solid old fashion too. Would have given them 5 stars but the vibe/atmosphere was meh. read more

After coming here several times, I finally got around to making a proper review. The wife and I stopped by after work while in the city, and this is one of her favorite restaurants in Chinatown. This place has been around for a long time, and the food doesn't disappoint. There are several dining areas, with the main being underground. Parking is easy right across the street. We ordered four dishes and they were all excellent. Our starter was the crab meat and fish maw soup, a classic that I always order when available. The maw is usually where places screw up, as when it's done poorly, it can be rough and too crunchy. No complaints here. The special beef was very tender, but otherwise unimpressive. It's just not really what I'm into. The steamed clams with egg custard were excellent, and reminded me of Chawanmushi. Our last was the scallop on tofu, and this was one of my favorites. The service was a little slow, but warm and no-nonsense and expected considering how busy they were. The interior is pretty typical of a Chinese restaurant. The place can become quite packed during normal meal hours, so it's best to come early if you want a spot. Portion sizes are great. Overall a great place to eat when in the area. I've yet to try the crab (which is what this place is known for), but will update when I do. read more

Even on a Saturday lunch during Chinese new year, the service was attentive and good and the food came out pretty quickly. Everything we had was cooked well. Flavor was good, although slightly on the lighter-salt side, which is fine since we had older guests. They have salt, white pepper, soy, and hot sauce available on the side. read more

One of the best Chinese restaurants in SF. Yes, it is that good. The food feels fresh and light yet so flavorful. I've gotten takeout for here for work for years but we finally got to eat at the restaurant. Upstairs dining is fancier, downstairs dining is more low key. Locals and courtiers can be found here. Everything was amazing. Highly recommend coming here with a group or as a couple. I'll definitely come back. read more

First off, parking in this area was a nightmare. And it didn't help that we were here on a Chinese New Year weekend too! The good thing was that my wife and son dropped off so we could make a table reservation (45 minutes wait time) while my daughter and I went looking for parking. We were lucky to find a spot in a nearby underground parking structure...after 30 minutes of going around the area. The food, for me, was not really that fantastic. It was typical Chinese tasting fare, so I was wondering why the people lined up for this place and waited 45 minutes to be seated and served. Our regular Chinese dimsum in Sacramento tasted much the same (or maybe better) and with a lesser wait time than this place. For the taste, I think a lot of the plates served were priced just too much. But the staff were very attentive. And the place was nicely decorated. If there was no line outside for entering this place, I would recommend you to try this place. If not, there is a lot of other places nearby that can give this place decent competition... read more

Finally got to try this Chinatown staple! We went on a super busy night with no reservation but ended up getting two high chairs on the first level. We enjoyed it, though. Felt quiet and intimate. I had to have some soup to start. Simple and clean, but tasted very delicious and prepared my gut for the heavier stuff I would eat later. Peking duck was delicious. Skin was crispy and nicely done. This was very filling for two people. Our second dish was the macadamia nut with scallop and steak. This was very delicious as well. We had this with white rice. The dish did't have any sauce so the rice was not super necessary. The steak was very coursely peppered and seasoned, while still juicy on the inside. Scallops were big and meaty. I enjoyed chewing on the string beans and chomping on the macadamia nuts. Rare I see macadamia nuts on any menu. My drink was Strong! Perhaps even stronger than my boyfriend's Manhattan. I ordered some cocktail with tequila and that definitely came through. The unfortunate part about dining with two people is not being able to try as many items off the menu. The menu is huge so I recommend coming with a big group. I enjoyed the service and it's clear there are a lot of regulars that go here and are familiar with the wait staff. Love that this restaurant means a lot to the SF Chinese community. Until next time! read more

This place is an SF Chinatown institution. They've been around for about 40 years feeding locals and tourists alike some of the best Canto Chinese food this side of the Pacific. The service here felt very hospitable and friendly. With a mix of nostalgia and just a great classic operation, this is the type of restaurant that just gives me pure joy to eat at. No instagram-able cheese pulls here or coming here to be seen. The vibe of this place is just a classic family style Chinese restaurant that has higher end seafood offerings as well as classic Cantonese staples and a good amount of vegetable dishes. I can't imagine the amount of celebrations that came through this place over the years. On a recent visit, I took my parents and my aunt for a nice meal out in the City (coming from the East Bay). I wanted to treat them since I miss out on a lot of celebrations during the year. My mom chose this place because it's one of her favorite restaurants. I started with a very delicious lychee martini along with the customary tea they put out for the tables. We ordered: - crab and winter melon soup - half Peking duck - Golden Supreme fried rice (with a bit of seafood mixed in) - Hong Kong style beef chow mein - three treasure - eggplant, tofu, and hot peppers with some shrimp paste in a savory black bean sauce - mixed vegetables and mushrooms I thought we ordered very well and slightly more than enough food (perfect) for all of us. It was a good variety without getting into the pricier seafood items, although I would love to come back and have their salt and pepper crab again since it's been soooo long. Fun fact: This is one of the first restaurants my family did a trip for and ate at when I was too young to remember. My parents took me and my brothers on BART from Hayward to SF to eat here a very long time ago and been here a few times while growing up. This may have been my first visit as an adult and first time treating my parents vs. the other way around. Parking can be hectic in this area. There is lots of metered parking on the streets though. We parked in a subterranean parking lot about half a block over and it came to about $8 for a leisurely meal and a little bit of walking around the Chinatown area (can't remember how long it was) read more

Waited 20 min on a Tuesday night without a reservation. Large, interesting menu. Atmosphere is bright, crowded and loud. Food served unevenly and if we didn't ask about a soup and rice they never would have come out. Food was fine. We didn't have cocktails but they looked very good. Same for the crabs which were very popular. Waitress disappeared with my credit card--I had to eventually intercept her at counter. read more

We made a mistake and decided to have Christmas dinner at R&G without reservations. It was 1.5 hr wait for a party of 4. Thankfully we snagged bar seats for 2 and then we ended up waiting like 45 mins for other people to leave. Shout out to Larry and Joanne, the bartenders! They were holding it down. Of course we ordered the salt and pepper crab, and it did not disappoint. The salted egg yolk deep fried pumpkin was delicious - perfectly battered and fried. The Singapore noodles could have used more flavor and curry powder. (They also ran out of ho fun so we weren't able to order beef Ho fun) Overall, R&G is a OG Chinese restaurant in SF Chinatown. read more

It had been about 17 years since I last ate at R&G lounge, because I was kind of boycotting due to receiving poor service so so long ago. With so many other restaurants to try, I was never interested in coming back until a friend told us that he loves R&G lounge so much that he eats here almost once a month, and convinced us all to have dinner there, after we were turned away from 4 Kings. R&G has been around all this time, and lots of people seem to love it, and of course I can forgive poor service nearly 2 decades ago. Has R&G always been so big? They put us in large table tucked away from the commotion. They have multiple floors and even have options for private dining. I can see why large parties plan events here so they can eat the usual Chinese banquet dishes. $65 Salt & Pepper Dungeness Crab - whole crab battered, deep fried, sprinkled w/ salt & pepper seasoning: great! fresh & succulent fresh crab meat piled high with crispy garlic $50 Chilean Seabass (small) - marinated and baked in a glaze: okay! nice and tender, but due to personal preference I don't love glazed fish that much. Our other friends loved it though. $24 Roast Squab - whole squab roasted, crispy skin, w/ seasoning salt on the side good! crispy skin indeed and quite juicy. Are we calling MSG = seasoning salt now? It does look quite like MSG, which I have nothing against. To me it's just another form of sodium. The tough thing about squab is it is not always easy to split up. Who gets the leg, the best part? $26 Steamed Clams & Eggs - steamed with beaten eggs: good! steamed to a silky consistency $20 Eggplant w/ Garlic Sauce - eggplant, black fungus, bamboo shoots & scallions sauteed in hot garlic sauce: good! silky, spicy and flavorful $8 for 4 bowls of steamed rice, which we shared among 6 people, because we're too cheap to get one bowl of rice per person, but we never finish our rice anyway. 3% SF Mandate is annoying, but nothing new I guess I am due to let go of the past and admit that R&G has some pretty good dishes. In fact, service this time around was pretty good. Who could remember that nearly 20 years ago, they took nearly an hour to return our credit card, so we can just conclude payment and leave, as if they were holding us hostage? Oops, I guess I do still remember. We're moving on! read more

A bit disappointed with our meal and service yesterday unfortunately. Coming back from Pinole for my sister's wedding dress shopping - we were 20 minutes late to our 2:30pm reservations for 6 people. We understandably waited a few minutes for our table and went downstairs. Imagine our surprise, when the table we were brought to was meant for 4 people and with only 5 chairs and tableware. We were like this isn't comfortable and there's no way the amount of the food we normally order would fit on the table. On top of this our table was rocky which nobody would fix for us. The table next to us were seated for 7 people and they were just as crammed. We ordered the honey spare ribs, two separate times and the amount for each plate was different - just not consistent. My parents had ordered white rice with our food but when our food arrived, we had no rice brought out to us. When it was brought out with the rice bowls, my brother mentioned that the waiters fingers were inside the top bowls - you hope that the hands would be clean but you just never know. There were nice enough to give us fortune cookies at one of my sisters request in addition to the red bean/coconut desserts. I think we were just caught off guard because in the past over the years, we were always treated with such excellent and friendly service and yesterday absolutely did not reflect that. read more

It was my first time to visit (as part of a wedding banquet dinner), and it was easily the best Chinese banquet meal I've been to. The food was the best part, especially the salt and pepper crab, the steak and scallop string bean, and the sea bass. The staff were absolutely fantastic, making sure to take drink orders, fulfill requests for chili oil or more rice, and frequently replace diryy plates, especially to take away the shells. We were sat upstairs, which tightly fit 10 tables of 10. While the speakers were the best quality, it was nice to have access to a microphone and Bluetooth speaker to play your own music. Having the parking garage next to the restaurant was great also, with a $5 validation at the restaurant. Beautiful wedding with an amazing reception thanks to R&G. Would love to visit again for dinner soon! read more

R & G Lounge - Salt and pepper crab - Seafood Near Me - San Francisco, California

During my trip to SF, I had to stop by somewhere in Chinatown, the heart of San Fran! Lots of people recommended this place to me, and I definitely don't regret it at all. My friend and I ordered the seafood garlic noodles, mushrooms and mustard greens, and peking duck. All of the dishes tasted great. The prices are on the steeper side (one of the downsides). However, the garlic noodles made up for it. The garlic noodles were EXTREMELY garlicky which we absolutely loved. But it not have that much seafood in it. The peking duck was good, however, seemed to lack some meat for what we paid. The vegetable dish was also yummy, but nothing out of the ordinary. As someone who regularly eats Chinese food at home, I will say the food was great, but definitely on the more expensive side. Ambiance was nice, waiters attentive and restrooms were clean. read more

This is an oldie but goodie. It has been probably over 15 years since we've dined here. It is nice to see a local favorite still so popular and busy after all these years. We were able to make a reservation for nine people on a Saturday night at 5:00 p.m. The restaurant was packed and it took about 15 minutes for them to seat us. They placed us in a private room with the condition that we had to be done by 6:45 p.m. We ordered two of the signature salt and pepper crabs, salt and pepper prawns, R&G special beef, honey spareribs, whole peking duck, garlic pea sprouts, beef chow fun, and the special fried rice. The entree portions other than the crab were small, but there was plenty of food to feed all of us and some for leftovers. Overall, it was a still a pleasant and delightful experience. The food is not as good as I remembered but service and ambiance were nice. I'd probably only come back if invited. I wouldn't go out of my way to come eat here. Parking is available with validation from the restaurant at Portsmouth Square which is less than a block away. The really special treat we got was we saw Henry Winkler dining there! read more

Had a lovely time while out in SF on a work trip in September. For authentic Chinese food you could not ask for a better restaurant. The food was to die for - from the spicy green beans, to the fried rice, and all the delicious mains, all of the food was incredible and flavorful. We had some allergy restrictions (gluten and peanut) and they were amazing about keeping those separate and identifying for us what was safe and not. The ambiance is also part of the appeal. For what looks like a hole in the wall place outside, inside is filled with cultural decorations, and feels very inviting. Lots of tables with families celebrating, enjoying their food, and chatter throughout. The staff was friendly and so accommodating. Highly recommend to anyone in the area! read more

We tried this spot after being intrigued by the menu, which had a lot of unique options. Overall, the experience was enjoyable and everything we ordered was flavorful, just on the heavier side. The salt and pepper Dungeness crab had great seasoning and was very delicious, but it was difficult to eat and required quite a bit of work. The Peking duck was solid and satisfying, and the green beans were also a standout.

I finally made it to R&G Lounge and now I get why everyone talks about this place. We showed up pretty late an hour before closing and had reservations. It was already busy, but the staff kept things moving. Service isn't the warm-and-fuzzy type but everyone working is incredibly nice and the owner/GM was in the trenches taking care of customers and making sure we're doing well. Service overall is quick, straightforward, and they get you exactly what you need. Honestly, it works perfectly for a spot like this. We ordered quite a few dishes such as mapo tofu, garlic seafood noodles, special beef, hot and sour soup, and honey walnut shrimp, and it really is the dish toThe crab comes out hot, crispy, and ridiculously flavorful. Everything tasted amazing and we finished so quick without noticing how fast we ate. What surprised me was how consistent everything was -- no filler dishes, no misses. Portions are solid, the food comes out fast, and you can tell they've been doing this for a long time. Prices are typical SF seafood prices, but you're getting legit quality, so it doesn't feel like a tourist trap at all. If you're visiting SF or bringing someone here for the first time, this is the kind of place that makes you look like you know what you're doing. Would absolutely come back. read more

R & G Lounge - Their speciality Salt & Pepper Crab - $72 - Seafood Near Me - San Francisco, California

R&G Lounge has earned its recognition as an SF institution. On a Friday night, all three floors of the dining room were packed - even the large banquet tables. I went with a large group (there were 18 of us!), and we were accommodated across two large tables. To streamline our order, each table chose from one of several banquet-style meals that included roughly ten dishes. Our table also ordered the squab as a starter, which was succulent and flavorful. The banquet meal started with a light and fragrant mushroom soup that was flavored with white pepper. Each large platter was brought out sequentially, starting with the salt & pepper crab, which was definitely the showstopper of the meal. The crab was coated generously in crispy salt & pepper batter and intricately arranged in a heap with the shell on top. The crab legs had plenty of meat, and each one of us went back for seconds (and thirds) as the platter was passed around the table. It was nearly impossible to eat without making a mess, but we were supplied with shell crackers and wipes to clean our hands. The other standout dish for me, besides the crab, was the sea bass that had a sweet and slightly smoky flavor and a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture. We were incredibly stuffed after several rounds of duck, chicken, prawns, beef, and scallops, and the decadent meal was rounded out with a sweet and simple red bean soup. Throughout our meal, our pot of hot tea was constantly topped off, and our servers were quick to clear our plates to make room for the next platter. Overall, I really enjoyed our family-style feast. I highly recommend dining with a large group for the full experience, especially if you want to try multiple dishes. read more

I recommend coming here if you are in a large group like 10-11 people. But I would also not recommend the banquet menu. You get 9 items plus dessert for $708 under menu B. However our group of 11 ordered 13 dishes plus dessert plus alcohol and our sub total was only $583 and that included not just 1 but 2 crabs and a whole Peking duck. This ended up being a better deal doing a la cart and we had just enough food for everyone to share family style. We ordered: 2 x salted egg yolk crab Whole Peking duck 2 x Steamed clam and egg 1 yang chow fried rice 1 special fried rice Combination seafood garlic noodle Honey spare ribs Salted egg yolk pumpkin Garlic stir fry pea shoots Scallops w/beef steak Prawn with honey walnuts Service was good despite they were very busy. It took 30 minutes for the first dish to come out. While we waited we asked for peanuts. I saw on the menu they charge $5, but didn't see it on the bill. Other restaurants give peanuts without having to ask. The peanuts were plain, unroasted and unsalted. Most of the dishes were great. However, the special fried rice fell short. There was nothing special about it. It tasted like plain egg fried rice. Some of the clams were chewy while others were tender. Prawn with honey walnuts needed a touch of acidity in the coating and unfortunately the crabs were a bit dry. Probably not in season in August. For the birthday boy they provided a bean and coconut jelly dessert with birthday candle and fortune cookies. read more

We had a long (2 hour) wait for R & G but it was worth every minute! Pro tip: Definitely make a reservation online in advance, weekend dinners are insanely busy! We ordered quite a few items on the dish, and I can't wait to go back. * Barbeque Pork (Char Siu): This was so good that I ordered it twice in the same meal, haha. Very tender and a bit of sweet. My absolute favorite. * Steak Cubes with Macademia Nuts: Also had green beans and scallops. The cubes were insanely soft and tender, so so good. This is what I want for all my steaks. * Chicken Fried Rice: I would say this is mid, you can skip the fried rice. Would've rather ordered plain white rice. * Seafood Clay pot with Bean Curd: Such soft soft bean curd. I'm a big bean curd fan, and this was easily among the highest quality ones. * Taro Soup: This was a surprise addition at the end, and this was also amazing. Not too sweet. Just enough to make us happy. Overall, cannot wait to go back. I've already been twice, and you need to go too! read more
