Jeff Mojica: Five Spice Whitefish is pretty darn tasty. It has a scrambled egg consistency. Try it!
Sabina: Best Chinese food in SF!! Let Chef Fang order for you - it's insanely good. If you're a menu orderer though, I recommend the peking buns, onion cake, short ribs, pea shoot salad, & white fish
Joel Corpus: My favorite Chinese spot in SF! The must try's are the Nanking Sesame Chicken, Mongolian Beef Tower and the House Fried Rice. If you're in a large group, have the chef choose your meal.

Seafood Restaurant · 30 tips and reviews
Chuck Coulson: So happy to see this SF institution reopened! And the menu has kept many of the classics. Look past the exterior decor which are a bit reminiscent of a kitschy beachside seafood spot.
Peacheaz Brown: The place is under new management...food is not as good.
M K: Been coming here for 20 years with my dad. It's not nearly the dive it once was, but every meal still starts off with fresh French bread and a shot of clam juice.
David Covell: Get the beyti. It's fantastic. And they may well have the best hummus in the city.
Philipp Reichardt: Order the Cold Platter and share it with your friends. So good
Anna James: Cold meze platter is really good, specially the Dolma. I totally loved Karniyarik for main course, it's very similar to Moussaka. Ordered the Turkish coffee and the server did a small trick for us.
