    So good luck, garlic,.sesame oil...yum
    Mike B.

    Food was incredible, not all Chinese restaurants are created equal. We had the Salted fried rice with salted egg prawns.. a must-have. Service was a little slow but the owner apologized and gave us a free vegetable dish to keep the tummy happy. Clean restaurant. Did I mention they also serve some good dimsum? Well they do and so YOU must come and try it. Would i come back? Definitely, need to try the Peking duck, even the half size with the bao and plum sauce, yum

    Heard great things about this place and came here on a Sunday with some friends. Make sure to come…read more30 mins before opening to put your name down, the wait is very long and they run out of their specials towards the end of the night. (We came 20 mins before opening and wait was already 60 mins). The restaurant was small and cozy and the staff was very friendly Clay pot rice: this was my favorite dish out of everything we tried. The rice was perfectly oiled and crispy and the sausage was delicious Mapo spaghetti: I normally don't go for fusion dishes like this but this dish was surprisingly very yummy. A little too salty though if I were to be picky XO escargot: the XO sauce was delicious with the milk bread that it comes with. Steamed cod: this was one of the specials of the day and I'm glad we ordered it! The fish was very soft and light. Overall, great experience, yummy food, but not sure if it's worth the wait!

    Five of us dined here to celebrate a birthday. According to the one who managed to get the…read morereservation, it's quite popular and the reservation is one of the coveted ones in SF. Anyway, having tried it, I can say it was good, but not so good that I'd expend that much energy to secure the reservation. Have to say, service was really great. Servers were attentive without being overbearing, which is always welcome. We ordered several dishes and dined, as they suggested, family style. To start, we were given two complimentary dishes, the roasted peanuts and the smashed cucumbers; both were nice appetizers. We ordered the Chiu Chow green beans, the Mongolian beef noodles, the claypot rice with lop cheung and bacon, the salt 'n peppa prawns, and the whole fried petrale sole, the last two being on the day's "specials" board. The winning dish was definitely the green beans. All the food was good, but seemed to be a bit overly salted and highly spiced. The piece of beef I had from the Mongolian beef noodles was tender, but one of my friends thought her piece was a bit tough and too chewy; we all thought the beef could have been cut into smaller or thinner pieces. We also shared two desserts since it was a birthday celebration (there are only three options offered). We had the red bean shaved ice and the mango pudding. Both were good (not "oh, boy, yummy" good, but good). Nice to try. The price wasn't outrageous ($200 including tax and tip), but I think this will be a "been there, done that" experience for me unless a friend absolutely wants to go again.

When the bill came out to a grand total of $16 out the door, I had to double-check the math! My mind was officially blown.Is it Michelin-star dining? No. But the taste is surprisingly solid, and for that price point, it is an absolute steal. Beyond the food, I fell in love with the authentic, no-frills vibe of the place. It is the perfect, straightforward spot to grab a quick, cheap bite when the craving hits. I am already planning my next visit! 說實話,點餐的時候我連看都沒看價格,一心只想嚐嚐他們的雲吞麵和燒鴨飯。結果結帳的時候,總共竟然只要$16!我當時都懷疑是不是算錯了,簡直驚呆了!要說這是什麼米其林頂級美味,那倒不至於,但味道確實挺不錯。就這個價格而言,性價比簡直絕了!除了食物,我還特別喜歡這家店原汁原味的市井煙火氣(地道氛圍)。如果你想隨便找個地方速戰速決、飽餐一頓,來這裡準沒錯。我已經決定下次還要再來!

Only one server was present for the entire place and she did a fantastic job! We ordered a bunch of things: roast pork, mangolian beef, Singapore noodles and kung pao chicken. Roast pork with rice was soo damn good! Everything was devoured but we all felt the Mangolian beef was onion forward. There was almost no beef present in the dish. Overall, even with the beef dish, we loved it. Grand total was $70 (including 20 percent tip).

We had 3 elderly gentlemen in our party, (one using a walker) and there was no elevator. Thankfully they were all able to walk upstairs with assistance. Our party of 28 people took up 3 large round tables, and we enjoyed a sumptuous dinner from the banquet menu. Our menu included Abalone/Sea cucumber soup, Salt & Pepper Crab, Peking Duck, Honey Walnut Prawns, Baked Chilean Sea Bass (just melted in my mouth!!!), Sea Scallops & Steak Cubes, Soy sauce chicken, Virginia Ham w/tender greens, Salted fish & chicken fried rice, and ended with the Almond Jelly with red bean cubes. The food was epic, and the service genuinely friendly and available. The wait staff never hovered but were quick to remove and replace dirty dishes and refill our water glasses. As we left, the wait staff all thanked us profusely for coming, which is a lovely touch! The memory of this meal will resonate for a long time. Get thee to R & G Lounge! You will not regret it!

Service was efficient and no-frills. *** O U R P I C K S *** PEKING DUCK WITH BUNS (1/2) ~ Expertly roasted premium duck served Cantonese style with crispy skin, carefully separated from the fat and succulent bone-in meat to preserve its natural juices, accompanied by 6 steamed buns, fresh scallions, and hoisin sauce. (30 minutes prep time) ** It came out fast--actually too fast considering the menu says 30 minutes of prep time. I'd say it was about 5-10 minutes after ordering. The flavor was just okay, but the skin wasn't as crispy as expected. This was average to below average for Peking duck. 3/5 3 TREASURE WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE ~ Beancurd, eggplant, and hot peppers stuffed with shrimp meat in black bean sauce. ** This dish seemed to lack glaze and flavor. Even though there was some gravy, it tasted kind of dry. I think it needed more gravy to coat the beancurd. 3.5/5 GARLIC PEA SPROUTS ~ Seasonal vegetables ** The best dish out of everything we ordered! The pea sprouts were very tender and flavorful, and the cloves of garlic were nice and sweet. 5/5 FUJIAN FRIED RICE ~ Shrimp, scallop, imitation crab, dried scallops, Chinese broccoli, with oyster sauce gravy. ** I've never had this dish before, and I thought it was pretty tasty with the mix of seafood. 4/5 HONEY SPARERIBS ~ Hearty spareribs glazed with honey and seasonings. ** There was a lot more bones than meat, and these were definitely more sweet than savory. A little too sweet for me. 3/5 STEAMED CLAMS AND EGGS ~ Steamed live clams with beaten eggs. ** Silky steamed eggs with about a dozen clams. A simple dish, but nicely done. 4/5 I felt like the food wasn't as seasoned as some other Chinese restaurants we've been to. The spareribs were definitely too sweet, while some of the other dishes could have used a little more flavor. I'd say the food was 3.5 stars overall. It was also a pricey meal at over $200 including tip, and for that price, I didn't feel the quality quite matched. Portions were average, and we didn't have any leftovers.

The duck was well seasoned, juicy, and had plentiful meat without being overly fatty or skinny, My favorite part about good roast duck is the skin, and I loved how it was nice and thin and well marinated without a massive layer of fat underneath as they sometimes do. Roasted pork was also great -- perfectly crispy skin, juicy and tender pork meat, and nice seasoning on the meat. It did have the gamey taste of pork a bit but I didn't mind since the textural experience was so wonderful. Next time would just make my own rice, but honestly don't even need rice that much because the star of the show is the juicy meats here.

This one is located across the street from Safeway and it is strictly a takeout only, mostly BBQ items and Chinese home style dishes. Whole roast duck is now $34. There is a 3% sur charge if you use credit card. Free run chicken is $8.50 per pound and a whole is almost 3 pounds so $25. The chicken was tender and the ginger sauce helps with the white breast parts. It helps with ordering if you speak Cantonese here. There's usually a line earlier in the day and it's a no frills neighbor place that has been around for decades.

Situated on the second floor, Hong Kong Clay Pot Restaurant, is elevated above the rest, literally and figuratively with their quality of food and service, high churn and freshness, and comfort in dining space. Upon climbing the carpeted steps up to the restaurant, we were greeted by the staff and were seated by the window. Despite being located in a building with no air conditioning, the heat doesn't linger much here when the windows are open feeding in the fresh bay air. Furthermore, the spacing between tables is efficient allowing them to pack tables for large and small groups alike but still have enough room to eat comfortably. We were given menus and offered tea and waters to get us started. The menu is quite extensive beyond clay pot dishes as it includes many popular favorites typical of Chinese restaurants (noodle and rice dishes, chicken/beef/pork, and veggies) but also eclectic options like frog legs. For those looking to quench a thirst, they have soft drinks out of cans, bottled juices, beers, and wines. The menu is full of pictures so you'll get a nice visual of what you'll expect to feast on. Naturally, we got a few things as were famished from the day full of adventure. Salt & Pepper Frog - these crispy and meaty bits are lips smacking good; they're great starters for the meal as well as an introduction to some exotic food Snow Pea Sprouts with Garlic - cooked really well with large chunks of garlic. Seasoned well but it does have a bit more oil than your typical home cooking - so delicious though! Dried Bean Curd Lamb Clay Pot - protein rich dish with succulent chunks of lamb and tofu slathered in a sauce in search of a bowl of rice to pair with. Just one of these can easily feed two! Beef Stew Clay Pot with Bean Curd & Mushroom - juicy pieces of beef and braised tofu and mushrooms hit home with a nice balance of protein and veggies. This hearty dish will fill you up. Steamed rice - nothing special, but it does cost extra and doesn't come with any of the clay pots. You're going to want some so make sure you get a bowl or two. The service is exceptional here compared with other sit downs of this caliber in Chinatown. The staff members are personable, quick to serve and refill beverages, and accessible when the need arises. It does get busy here so the small staff may have trouble during rushes. Given the older building, naturally the small bathroom is expected. Surprisingly though, they have free WiFi here so I suppose for those looking for a pit stop in your city trek to regroup or for the locals looking to camp a bit for work, you've come to a great place to grab a bite too! Overall, Hong Kong Clay Pot represents the Hong Kong cuisine exceptionally well and is accessible, affordable, and delicious. The menu covers a variety of items and will be sure to satisfy everyone in your party. Everything is made fresh and is balanced in flavor, texture, and nutrition. Tourist or local, you'll be welcomed with hospitality. Each meal is meant for family style and will be sure to fill each stomach up while encouraging community building during your dining experience. Get a taste of Hong Kong simply by stepping foot into San Francisco Chinatown!
