We flew into San Francisco during the atmospheric river for a 70th birthday celebration. The weather was disappointing but our waiter was over the top great. He was friendly, informative and made the night special. The whole staff made us feel welcome and the food was outstanding. We even received a special birthday treat! Highly recommend this restaurant!

Excellent service as always, including the food. The added touch with the security guard in the parking lot was perfect in light of the fact that there has been many vehicle break-ins over the years……thank you, Kincaid.……

This is a genuine Chinese restaurant and you can see and feel the warmth and attention from the owners. Most other customers were Chinese, and we felt welcome. The Peking duck was excellent and the portions huge. Very good value for money. Just come hungry and do not expect Americanized Chinese food.

As always, the location had plenty of parking and wasn't too crowded. We made Priority reservations, in advance, through OpenTable. We were seated within 2-3 minutes upon arrival for dinner. Our meal consisted of the stuffed mushrooms appetizer, 1lb snow crab, salmon dinner, and I had the Lobster Punch for my cocktail. Everything came out hot and appealing to eat. Our server was a little more attentive with others than to my Mother and I, but other staff stepped in when necessary.
