I attempted to do some research about different things to do in San Fran before we left. One place name that kept popping up is this Chinese restaurant in Chinatown - The House of Nanking. After going to Alcatraz and spending some time at Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, we walked to Ghirardelli Square (bought some chocolate - yum!) and hopped on a cable car to Chinatown. The funny thing about this restaurant is that everyone gives it rave reviews, but it does not look like anything special on the outside or the inside. But when you first get there, it is the only local restaurant with a line outside and very busy inside. They sit you down on Ikea patio chairs, give you menus in sheet protectors and serve you with Ikea plastic cups and chipped plates. We thought the service kind of sucked, mostly because there were at least three tables that got their food before we got ours and we felt forgotten. But, the food was amazing! Crispy beef with green beans, chow mein with those amazing soba noodles. Yummy! I want to go back..... The only down side was no fortune cookies.
