The restaurant Obama ate at years ago when he was president is still a solid dining experience a decade later. The Beijing duck wasn’t that great but the pan fried pork buns were legit. If you’re confused and don’t speak mandarin, the bathroom is downstairs under the staircase.

Enjoyed the green tea on the table but that was pretty much it. Sweet and sour chicken was wet and bland. Noodles were rubbery, and all the food was barely above room temperature. Service charge is added on as standard, despite the fact that service was not good. Would not recommend!

Great place for Dim Sum. Authentic Chinese food. It has two levels of dining area. The restroom is on the lower floor. The tea is $1.75 per person. They are having a new item called “Pork & shrimp bean curd skin roll in dried scallop soup “. Highly recommend it.

Great dim sum spot in SF Chinatown. Pretty busy on a Sunday morning, but we got there before it opened, so we got a table right away. My favorites were a little different here, with turnip cakes, XO spicy rice noodle roll, steamed beef short ribs with black pepper sauce, and pan fried leek and shrimp dumplings topping the list. I don't know if it tops our favorite dim sum spots in the east bay, but great for our weekend away from the kids in SF!

I used the Portsmouth Square Plaza Garage at Kearny St and Clay St.
Dim sum prices vary depending on the fish you order. Keep in mind all the dishes usually only have about 3 or 4 pieces of dumplings per order. They range from $4.70 for small to $9.15 for the special plates. I would recommend ordering 2-3 dishes per person depending on how big of an appetite your party has. Expect to spend about $20-30 per person depending if you order drinks or alcohol on top of that. There are some special items that are only served after 11am when the main kitchen opens for lunch and dinner menu items.
Portsmouth Square Garage is 1.5 blocks away. The entrance is on Kearny St between Washington and Clay. If you take the garage elevator all the way to the top, you'll be in Portsmouth Square, which was seen in the film "Flower Drum Song" in 1961. Walk across Washington St and then down Wentworth Place. That ends on Jackson St. Turn right (downhill) and Great Eastern is right there.
