Chinese

Chinatown fine dining, Peninsula Cantonese dim sum, and neighborhood regional Chinese across SF and the South Bay.

Bay Area Chinese dining splits between historic San Francisco Chinatown, the Richmond and Sunset avenues, Oakland Chinatown, and denser Peninsula and South Bay banquet and regional rooms. Start with the format you want (contemporary tasting or banquet duck, weekend dim sum, Sichuan heat, Hong Kong roast meats), then pick a corridor. Two restaurant pages below mark the high-press contemporary pole and the classic Peninsula dim sum institution.
