San Francisco Chinese restaurant recommendation?

Our family, all adults, a party of 6 will be looking for a nice,
middle-of-the-road priced Chinese restaurant in San Francisco next week.
Any suggestions in the Chinatown area?

Thanks,

Mike

Try Great Eastern in Chinatown.

If you are not experience at this, be careful.
We ordered "interesting" dishs. Some of it wasn't particularly edible.
It was crowded with Chinese, so I presume it was a good restaurant...

House of Nanking at Jackson/Kearney.-- As recommended by the "Lonely Planet"
and by me. Great food, interesting people and good prices.
Oh, and if you want a fantastic hamburger, try Mo's near Grant/Vallejo.
Another recommended by the duo!!

I couldn't agree more. I have been going there for years since it
opened. Say hello to Peter Fang the owner. Routinely churns out
great Nanking cuisine, unique in itself

How many San Franciscans do you find recommending or eating at House
of Nanking? How many Asians do you see eating there? Immeditely next
door is Chef Jia's, better food at a lower price and no waiting.

On the "Don't-miss sights" page at http://geocities.com/touringsfo/
are links to two trust-worthy restaurant review sites.

Other favorites of mine are Yee's Restaurant on Grant opposite Jack
Kerouac, the Great Eastern on Jackson just below Grant, and on Jackson
near Kearny Home's Hunan Restaurant. Yee's is very inexpensive and
family-oriented. The Great Eastern specializes in seafood.

A lot. They recommended it to me.

A lot, but how would you know if you don't go there?

I don't know about Jia's because I haven't eaten there and I haven't
had to wait at the House of Nanking. But, if you did, why would
everyone be waiting if it's no good?

Some mediocre restaurants can have long waits. Especially those that
were ONCE very good but have gone downhill. Also in tourist areas of a
city, like San Francisco's Chinatown or Fisherman's Wharf, there can be
scores of restaurants that are crowded with long waits but serve food
that at best is mediocre in quality.

I'm not saying that House of Nanking is such a place (I have never eaten
there), but it could be. Restaurants with long waits aren't a reliable
sign of quality.

So, "Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded."? (yogism)

Thanks all for the advice. Heading to San Francisco/San Jose for a
family wedding this weekend.
