“This place was absolutely outstanding in almost every way possible! I’ve dined at all ranks of Michelin star restaurants across the country, and this place could be deserving in coming years. It also won’t break the bank as it’s only just over $100 per person for a hefty 5 course meal. Cocktails are fantastic and the wine list is curated expertly.The only things that need to improve -This is a Chinese / Cantonese restaurant but only has one Chinese wine….and it’s $700 ??I agree with others that having to add on dessert doesn’t make sense. I’d rather pay more per person and have dessert included.Everything else was perfect and can’t wait to go back!“
“Food was delicious! The chicken wings really are super delicious and super crispy. The service was really fast and the people were very nice and the atmosphere was very homie. It was just a little quite so you feel like you can’t speak very loud.“
“Peking duck with lotus bun was absolutely phenomenal. Meat was tender, duck skin was crispy yet so juicy, bun was bun-ing. Will definitely order this again next time I go Honorable mention to the BBQ steamed pork bun - it was also warm and flavorful!Overall I had a great experience at City View, especially because the service was amazing. My food arrived quickly and the waiter was super attentive. Highly recommend this place if you're in Chinatown!“
“So freaking delicious!!! I barely eat Chinese food but this HIT THE SPOT. Yo, EVERYTHING was savory and delicious. Service was great! Food came out pretty quickly. 10/10 recommend! The prices were amazing and definitely makes me want to come back.“
“Parking: There's a parking garage (best on in Chinatown and downtown) only a few steps away from the restaurant. The garage is on Kearny & Clay ( 733 Kearny St, SF CA 94108 ) and the rates aren't too bad.COST:Free 15 mins, 1hr - $4, and add $4/hr for any additional hours. $40ish for a day rate that kicks in after 12 hrs.“
“I've been to Yank Sing many times, but this was a big group on the day of the Chinese New Year Parade. I expected they would be packed- and they were. Nevertheless the service was excellent- friendly and informative. The food was the high standard I expect, along with some Luna New Year treats. In our group were folks that do not eat pork, gluten, and fish- yet everyone went away full!“
“Best value for delicious dim sum. Most of the dumpling that you get served in sit down places are available here. Of course this is all to go so if you don't mind eating and walking or finding a spot to eat then it might not work. Also a great time saver if you just want a little bit of something while doing the tourist thing. I can't wait to go back.“
“Overall great price for quality. Should order online to avoid the long wait (20+ minutes for a to go place is too long)- pork and shrimp shumai was really good- ham sui gok was ok. It was a bit soft, not keeping the crunchy texture- mango pudding was ok, not too sweet but a bit more chewy than I like“
“Shrimp and pork dumplings（虾饺&烧卖）taste pretty decent. The crepe of the shrimp crepe （鲜虾肠）is pretty thick but the shrimps are nice. We also ordered a turnip cake which tasted oily. Both the turnip cake and the shrimp crepe came out cold :( otherwise the food here is better than what I expected.“
“Food was great. Service needs work. We ordered two appetizers, soup and a noodle dish. They brought out the soup, a few seconds later the noodle dish which was followed immediately by one of the appetizers. We could not communicate with the server to ask her to slow down; finally found someone who spoke enough English to translate and took back dishes to keep warm in the kitchen.And forgot our tea; we needed to again wait for someone who spoke English to remind them of that.“
“I've been coming here for many years. I'm glad they are still around. They remember who you are, and it feels like a family atmosphere. Parking can be tough. But, with patience. You eventually will find one, and the food is worth it and dine in and start off with some hot tea and any of their entree. Highly recommend.“
“When it comes to dim sum I’m always looking for places that honor the classics but also surprise and delight. This place did both. Highly recommend the matcha tea balls which I’ve never had at any other place and were the perfect level of crispy chewy and sweet!“
“Recommended by my best friend, we had lunch here on Thanksgiving day. It was so crowded, but luckily, we only waited for around 10 minutes until we got seated. This place is lively with casual dining.They provide various congee, soup, appetizers, buns, dumplings, rice, vegetables, as well as drinks.Let's see what we tried!鮮蝦雲吞麵 / Signature Wunton Noodle Soup ($11.50)Their signature wonton noodle that consists of the thin and straight noodles with chasiu pork, wonton, green onions in a clear and savory soup. A comfort food indeeed!涼瓜牛肉煎米粉 / Beef Bitter Melon Pan-Fried Vermicelli ($16.95)This menu is unique! My first time trying this one. So, basically it is beef with bitter melon that are covered with the crunchy pan-fried vermicelli pancake. I'm not a fan of bitter melon, but this one is considered okay because it's not bitter.香酥蔥油餅 / Green Onion Pancake ($10.95)Oh.. This green onion pancake is full with green onions inside and crispy outside as well! Love it ❤️港式鴛鴦 / Hot Hong Kong Style Milk Tea with Coffee ($3.95)It can be served either hot or cold. We chose the hot one. If HK style milk tea is common, this one was our first time having it with coffee. The coffee taste blended well with the less sweet HK style milk tea. A good drink, especially during the cold weather!“
“San Francisco ...I visit the Chinatown and we get hungry during the day we stop at New Fortune and the food was delicious and really cheap 3 adults for only $40.00 was amazing..highly recommendedParking: Find a parking spot about 1/2 mile away but wasn't a problem“
“Solid Cantonese bbq spot in Oakland Chinatown. I've only ever gotten various meats for takeout from here, but everything I've tried was pretty good. My go to is their roast duck, which is $17.50 for half and $33.95 for a full. It's not cheap, but the meat is more flavorful and moist compared to some of the other bbq shops I've tried. Both the siu yuk (roast pork) and chasiu (bbq pork) go for $12.95/lb, so prices are reasonable. I don't like chasiu so I've never had that here, but their siu yuk is good as well. The best deal here is their spiced duck feet and wings, which only go for $3.95/lb. I love snacking on them! There's also seating here so you can order and eat here, but I've never eaten here as I prefer to bring the food home to eat.“
“Awesome food, big portions, reasonably priced, attentive service. Dishes came out quick, piping hot and full of flavor. Ordered orange chicken, beef chow fun, honey walnut shrimp, fish and tofu clay pot, spicy stir fry green beans with minced pork, and BBQ fried rice . Every dish was amazing. Usually not a fan of green beans but they made it so well that now I'm a green bean fan. Beef chow fun has good number of beef slices. Would come again whenever visiting China town. Atmosphere nothing to rave about but who cares what it looks like when you're so focused on tasting every dish and deciding if you should order more to take home.“
“The portion size is really big, serving 3 people each.And it was so, so delicious!! suggestion!! The pork skin is crispy and perfect.The owner has a strong accent, which can be a bit confusing, but he was friendly and the tea was delicious~~ It was neither salty nor bland?“
“Trust me. Asian flavors at its best. Be surprised with real Asian hustling and bustling. If you're looking for top service, you won't get it here. Pay the price and go elsewhere. Cash only.Tons of dishes to choose from. Tons of dim sum as well. White rice with 3 entrees, $5.50!! Dim sum rarely more than $3. A hearty meal for 3.....<$26! Where do you find such deal post COVID??If you like the information, please "like". Thanks“
“Good value for the money. And the dim sum was nice. We had four different items, three pieces, each, for a total of $13. Was plenty for the two of us for a morning snack. There's really nowhere to sit so we walked about a block to a nice park and sat and ate.“

“Delicious food and variety of items make this a culinary destination. Service has gone downhill over the last year, with an indifferent attitude and lack of coordination from both the front door check in and upstairs reception, coupled by the difficulty to get basic items like water, spices and sauces from the servers who rush by the tables, diminished our enjoyment of the meal.“
“This ramen soup with dumplings is a dream on a cold day. I was craving a hot soup with dumplings inside, and this place certainly delivered. The dumplings filled with whole shrimp were a standout feature. Unlike other places where the shrimp is minced, here you could taste the full flavor in every bite, enhancing the soup's aroma. Yes it has a hint of fish taste but that’s what most dumplings are made of. The atmosphere is pleasantly low-key, especially around 3pm, with a lack of tourist crowds. The pork was very delicious and did not miss a mark 5 of 5 stars.“
“The price is right. $7.99/pound for fried chicken drumsticks. $5 per pound for noodles, tofu, sweet and sour pork. Good place to pick up food for a party. I didn't order but the chicken wings are $10 a pound. It is a good spot to cater food for events.“
“Good food, good taste, acceptable cleanliness and service. Parking is impossible in the streets. You need to park across in the Pacific Renaissance Plaza parking garage, currently at $2/hr.The restaurant is somewhat comfortable. If you sit next to the entrance it can get cold because of the constant draft from people going in and out.For dinner I usually get the package deal. You get to choose 3 entrees from a given list for $27.99. However rice is not included. After 5 bowls of rice, including tip, the bill came out to $46 for two people.It appears that the business is closed early due to the pandemic. The owners were already rushing to close at 6pm on a Saturday.“
“You know you came here for the noodles, so don’t complain about the service or the waitress not asking how your day went. The wontons are good but the dumplings are even better. Their beef brisket over noodles are very good. The pork kidney and liver is also my favorite.“
“Most of the food was very good, the bathrooms were nice and clean and service was friendly. Only complaint was being in the heart of beautiful Chinatown, you'd think there would be some decor in the restaurant, but it looked like an office space with tables.“
“It feels like the owner, who speaks Cantonese, doesn't want to do business with the world. But it's not bad because it goes well with the Chinatown mood. You can take it out and eat it at a nearby park. Dim sum taste is average. If you've been to Hong Kong or Taiwan, you'll know the taste. There is no need to wait in line to eat. If you really want to eat it, I recommend doing an open run. In the US, it certainly seems like a good value for money.“
“I came here with my parents for lunch and there's lot of open seating. My parents wanted to come here since they missed the eel clay pot rice they grew up eating in China. Even at 12pm there were only 2 other tables that were occupied. They have a large selection on the menu with many chefs and house special dishes. They also serve dim sum here if you're not sure what type of Chinese food you want. Yellow Eel Clay Pot Rice (4.5/5) - the rice was well made, and the crispy rice from the bottom of the pot made for great contrast in texture! It's very close to traditional yellow eel clay pot rice that you can find in China! Steamed White Eel with Black Bean Sauce (5/5) - best dish of the meal! The eel was the perfect texture, slightly crunchy (in a good way) and not mushy. Flavors were bold and nostalgic! Taishan Five Flavor Goose (3.5/5) - the flavors were great but the goose itself wasn't great quality (most likely can't compare to what you find in China) Green String Beans (5/5) - they were just right! Well seasoned in a garlicky stir fry, crispy and light. If you are in the area and looking for authentic Chinese eel or clay pot dishes, you should check out Taishan Restaurant! Fun Fact: They have a karaoke room in the back!“
“We’ve been going to this place since 2001. Many life events have been celebrated here, with friends and family. So we’ve seen this place in its ups and downs. Yet despite that, it ands its staff have always provided with best dishes. Price have understandably rose since then, but the servings and quality have been not a disappointment either. Highly recommended place compared to other Asian food establishments in the area.“
“I wouldn’t recommend this place when we left it seems like the waiter didn’t want us to leave till we gave him a bigger tip that we already gave him even we put the tip on the table before we were about to leave. We gave him a good amount. The service was terrible. Not coming here ever again.“
“The restaurant was full at lunchtime on a Monday. There was a short wait before I was seated. I ordered a wonton soup $8 and a crispy tomato beef noodles $13.75. It took about five minutes for the soup to come out and another 15 minutes for the crispy noodles to arrive. The wontons were tasty with pieces of minced meat and shrimp. As for the crispy noodles, the chef messed it up. I asked for less sauce and it came out smothered. Most of the noodles were already soggy. There's no sense in ordering crispy noodles if the chef is going to do that. There's only one waitress for the entire restaurant. Service is slow but I don't blame her. Pro tip, the restroom key is tied to a tin can on the bakery counter.“
“Delicious!!! Service was quite good and helpful - they were able to arrange seating for our group of 8 as a walk-in and the food arrived promptly. There's a wide variety of dishes on the menu so there's something for everybody, but many of the dishes would be considered spicy for someone sensitive to spice. Everyone enjoyed their dishes a lot.“
“It’s a long-standing & super famous restaurant in SF China town, and its fame is of no doubt honestly earned & lives up to. It’s a long drive from Bay Area but it’s 100% worth it. It is one of the very best Cantonese restaurants in Bay Area, I would even say it would make its name back in Canton Guangzhou.The menu selection is down to earth & truly authentic, no fancy fusion here, all real hometown food. Might be leaning towards a higher priceline, compared to China town average, but again, worth it. I would say, no specific recommendations on what to order, just order whatever you want, it won’t disappoint!Might have some limited street parking during the night but it can get difficult during the day, normal SF parking situation. Doesn’t hurt to park further and take a small stroll thu!“
“Good food and okay service for a lunch. All of the items we tried (and we tried quite a few) were well made and flavorful, and we appreciate the cutting before serving. Not the best dim sum we've ever had but a very solid choice. The atmosphere was also nice.“
“This is a good spot to eat at since they open at 8am and most restaurants don’t open until 10-11. They offer their whole menu not just certain items from open too! I see a lot of locals come and order their rice noodle rolls which it seems like they make it fresh when you order. I also like their beef chow fun, it had good wok hay.Yes they serve their food on paper plates and paper bowls but maybe their dish washer is broken lol. Honestly a good spot with reasonable prices and the food is good too.“
“TLDR: solid food at reasonable priceI ordered a fish and gravy rice and a HK milk tea and the bill came out to just over $15. The HK milk tea was strong and flavorful and fragrant. The fish and gravy rice came out quickly as well and while tasty, would be nice to have some vegetables with it as it only had fish and tofu. Adding some broccoli or something else would help bring some freshness.“
“Everything here hit the spot for me! All the food was so comforting for such a cheap price. I'd definitely recommend any of the beef stew noodle soups, congees, and steamed rice noodles! It's a lowkey spot and all the food came out super quick!“
