CHINATOWN
CHINESE
SF's best Chinatown
restaurant, but it helps to know what
to order. The salt-and-pepper crab is
the signature dish. If they have live
prawns in the tank, try them split in
half with minced garlic. I also recom-
mend the filet mignon beef with snow
peas and XO sauce, and Fu King fried
rice (a risotto-ish starch). Try to sit
upstairs.
