I think Ton Kiang is the best (5821 Geary). You might even want to return
in the evening for their Hakka cuisine offerings, which are very good.

Others really like Yank Sing.

If you want a place filled with Cantonese families reading newspapers and
such, Chinatown has some good dim sum places. I like New Asia at 772
Pacific.

If you want a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, R&G Lounge has excellent Hong
Kong fare (631 Kearny). Also in Chinatown, Great Eastern (649 Jackson)
specializes in seafood, and I thought it was excellent (I would only order
seafood, though).

Otherwise, Koi Palace is supposed to be one of the best Chinese restaurants
in SF, but I've never been there. It's in Daly City at 365 Gellert Blvd.

You might also want to check out Clement Street, which has several Asian
markets, numerous restaurants, bubble tea places, Western cafes, Green Apple
Book Store, and a great Asian kitchen store (Kamei Restaurant Supply at 507
Clement). I also like very much the Shanghai restaurant there called
Fountain Court.
