10Best Says

If you're looking for a more modern and sleek Chinese food experience - with some California-infused attitude - try China Live. This grand 30,000 foot square space belies its name, as Chef George Chen wants guests to witness the skill and thoughtfulness that goes into each and every dish served. From the BBQ station to the Salad station and Dimsum Station, this interactive and experiential food hall is a delight for all the senses. Also featuring a Market Place and Cold Drinks Bar, China Live enables guests to bring goodies home, as well. And for those who want a more upscale experience, "Eight Tables" by George Chen, China Live's fine dining counterpart above the marketplace and restaurant, was recognized as one of TIME Magazine World's Greatest Places in 2019.

EXPERT TIPS BY: Tom Molanphy

Best of San Francisco's Chinatown: "Don't pass up the Stone Oven Roasted Duck Peking with Seasonal Fruit Glazes."

Recommended as Best of San Francisco's Chinatown Because: China Live might not follow in the footsteps of the more traditional Chinatown restaurants, but it's hard to argue with their delicious offerings.
