Salt and pepper crab, lobster and Peking duck are just some of the stellar staples worth the splurge at San Francisco’s R&G Lounge. This double-level Cantonese restaurant with casual downstairs seating and an upstairs for special occasions is a common choice for large groups looking to let loose in loud environs. Try to make a reservation to cut down on your wait, but rest assured that reliable staff are used to ushering folks in and out at a good pace.
Around the corner from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Fang is a classier Chinese restaurant in SoMa that features a changing menu dictated by fresh, seasonal ingredients. It’s the upscale sister restaurant to the casual House of Nanking in Chinatown, both opened by the Fang family. Run by a father and daughter team with chef/dad Peter Fang known to greet patrons, Fang’s popularity is evident in its bustling three-level space. Try the Mongolian Beef Tower, changing veggie plates and dumplings.
Daenerys or not, sometimes you do want an open-mouthed dragon hanging over your shoulder. In the Game of Chinese Food, Mission Chinese and its signature dragon snaking along the ceiling is a winner with subjects of San Francisco who appreciate fusion foods in a fun, colorful setting. Follow the droves of hipsters to Mission and 18th Street for this popular spot housed behind the Lung Shan Restaurant awning, two blocks down from 16th/Mission Station. Wings, mapo tofu, dumplings and modern takes on classics give salt-loving scenesters further reason to reach for a beer.
