This is one of my favorite restaurants in SF. After moving to CA after living in Xi'an for a year, I needed to find somewhere to get my Shaanxi noodle fix and Terra Cotta Warrior never disappointed.
Fresh, hand pulled noodles are the star of the show, and the atmosphere is worthy of date night. Don't miss the Qishan Minced Pork Noodles.
Hand pulled noodles, smashed garlic cucumber, the monster chicken dish, dumplings, lamb burger, cumin lamb noodles. If you wink the right way, you might be able to turn this place BYOB.
Get the waygu, why bother with the others?
Get the coconut broth and hot pot like you mean it! https://www.instagram.com/p/BzV4JrTjVSB/?igshid=1nf4ernvw49u5
Who needs maple syrup when you can make a meal of flakey, savory, goodies-stuffed Chinese-style pancakes? House of Pancakes has 11 varieties stuffed with meats, vegetables and sesame. Read more.
Get the beef pancake roll and pork pot sticker!
Beef pancakes, hand-pulled noodles, potstickers... Everything here is amazing!
Go for the excellent cocktails and the view, stay for the pre fixe menu (and more cocktails of course)
Amazing food and service in a modern Asian ambience. Will definitely come back
Amazing service
Must haves: scallion pancakes, dirty rice, and dumplings! Cocktail of choice: pixie and Luna!
Reminds me of a more laid back Hakkasan with more OG Cantonese flavor profile and higher price point. Dungeness crab custard and uni noodle are must haves
The best thing here is the char-siu. That was really delicious. Other dishes were alright. Expensive Chinese fusion food. Service and cocktails were good though.
If you ever want something thats not on the menu, just ask for it! (within reason). Want spicy vegetables with noodles? no problem, Chicken and JUST broccoli, spicy? Easy! They can do anything :)
Lily is the sweetest woman ever. She remembered me after 2 years! Food is great here, get the Mongolian beef with rice.
Credit card minimum is $10
Recommend the rice roll, pan fried dumplings, and peanut noodle!
Fantuan!! Note: cash only
Peanut noodles warms your soul and the Shanghai dumpling is easily the best in SF. The broth is super rich.
The duck is cooked in a wood stove. Great prices, but no reservations. They'll text you when your table is ready.
SJB & Peking Duck
Stop what you’re doing and go here for dumplings immediately ✋
Protip: call ahead for reservations.
Fantastic deal for all-you-can-eat-and-drink hotpot, beer and sake.
Get the prime rib! The pork bone coconut broth is really good!
Everything is incredibly delicious & a very budget friendly alternative to Mister Jiu’s
The kung pao tofu is delicious!
Love the mapo tofu
Really elevated Chinese food. Great flavors and service. Place was nicely decorated and the cocktails were delicious. First time I really enjoyed Chinese fine dining.
Exceptional tasting menu, and memorable cocktails. Try the milk punch!
Great attentive service, beautiful space, and incredible food! I’ve always been wary of fine dining Chinese, but Eight Tables is a true standout.
Fantastic food. Located across the street from the Apple Store. Mu-Shu Pork is a must.
Take The mongolian beef
Pork pot stickers are the best I've had since I can remember. Also, the wonton noodle soup w/no noodles comes in delicate broth with hints of garlic -- accompanied by white meat chicken and prawns.
My weekly noodle joint - best place in Chinatown. Get the won ton noodle with beef brisket!
Very clean dining room. Open daily 8:30a-8p.
service is hit or miss, but let's be real- that's not what you came for. beef brisket rice noodle soup! 🙌
Stir Fried Pancake with Vegetables is on the list of 21 best noodle bowls by San Francisco Magazine
There's a sign that says CASH ONLY but they actually take card too.
Cumin lamb, beef pancakes, and a very generous BYOB policy are the keys to its popularity, and while it's not the place to go for health food, it's spicy and reasonably priced. [Eater 38 Member]
Everything we ordered was awesome and the crowd is all local so you know it's good
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
