Description

The ne plus ultra of Hong Kong-style seafood eating in SF boasts a wall of aquaria housing at least a dozen live aquatic and amphibian species, prepared to your order with nonchalant expertise and panache. Even residents of the newer Chinatowns west of Arguello make pilgrimages here. Sharing the delicacies with a group brings costs down to neighborhood-joint levels, and the rest of the authentic south China menu ranges from high-flying squab down to bargain-priced "Chinese soul food."

At the rear of the dining room, giant tanks house several varieties of seafood: Dungeness crabs, lobsters, fish-of-the-day, and large prawns. But the rest of the menu is excellent as well, especially the hot-and-sour soup ($7). Not too hot and not too sour, the soup arrives thick, spicy, and just tart enough, in a gigantic bowl ideal for... More »
