House of Nanking - San Fran 2

Here's my second San Francisco food review after it all fades away in the foggy shadows of daily work.

Our first dinner in San Francisco was at the "House of Nanking", voted by different local papers as the best Chinese restaurant in town. It took us almost an hour to find it (sorry hungry/cranky Kristen) but it was totally worth it to our growling stomachs.

The restaurant is on the lower end of the spectrum, with reasonable prices and a very cramped table situation. The line out the door was a clear indication that we were onto something. I had their number one recommendation, sesame chicken and Kristen did a tofu dish. The sauces were a little greasy for my taste but very flavorful and not in that cheapy sweet and sour way. I was impressed by the greens that came with Kristen's meal, which had plenty of cillantro, chives and some sort of bamboo shoot look-alike. Overall a good cheap meal, probably the most flavorful Chinese I've had so far.
