Serving Chinese Food in San Francisco since 1919

Step into the rich history of Chinatown at Washington Street and Wentworth Alley, a building that has stood proudly since the early 1900s. Nestled in the heart of the city’s oldest neighborhood, this historic restaurant is one of the longest-standing Chinese restaurants in San Francisco.

Conveniently located across from Portsmouth Square—known as the "Heart of Chinatown"—our restaurant not only serves authentic Northern and Southern Chinese cuisine but also offers a dining experience steeped in over a century of culinary tradition.

From surviving the 1906 earthquake to becoming a memorable culinary experience, passed down from generations Chinatown Restaurant SF, is more than a location—it’s a place packed with years of resilience and tradition. Join us to savor dim sum, seafood, honey walnut prawns, Peking duck, and other beloved dishes born from this cultural setting spanning generations.
