    We came here for our family Christmas Dinner - it was packed with families doing the same thing! Many were Chinese families, which always is a good sign in a Chinese restaurant. Clearly the restaurant was ready for the crowd becaue they had a good number of wait staff on hand. The food was wonderful! Several of us are vegetarian, and we have 9 year old who is just beginnin to willing to venture beyond his kid-favorite foods. We were easily able to select options for everyone, and we were pleased with all of our choices! We will be back!

    It’s a fun spot with tasty food at a moderately premium price. There is better Chinese food to be had in San Francisco, but the vibe here makes it worth the occasional trip. We had the chrysanthemum salad, which was very tasty and fresh though I didn’t much care for the dressing. It seemed a little bland to me. We had the xiao long bao, which I usually love. These were very tasty, but nothing special. The fat noodles were great. The sauce was a little sweet to my taste. The winner for me was the tofu clay pot with minced pork. Wonderfully spicy and full of interesting flavors, offset by the creamy creamy tofu. Really beautifully prepared.

    A very chic spot. On the eighth floor, seemingly “above it all.” A worthy successor to the now closed Hakkasan.
