The spicy lamb is absolutely incredible! Something you've always longed for. Choose the ginger custard for your dessert....soooo delicious!

Here's a bar where you can go in and tell the bartender the ingredients you like - say, bourbon, absinthe and lemon - and the crew will come up with something that hits the spot.

It should be law that every meal here starts with the Shanghai Dumplings. Bartenders are a bit standoffish, so don't be afraid to (politely) let them know what you want.

pick a spirit and let the bartenders do their magic. though don't be surprised if the tricks up their sleeve are from Flora's repertoire. also, the xiu long bao are pretty tasty.

This new Chinese noodle bar and lounge from chef Charles Phan of the Slanted Door offers a dozen or so classically influenced cocktails from Erik Adkins, like the Pan American Clipper.

Try the Braised Pork Belly - Straight from "heaven" tasting. One of my favorite appetizers (usually all I eat here). Highly recommend!

The pork belly will have you melting in your seat. I usually cannot eat anything seafood but the squid appetizer here is amazing! For cocktails, it's all about Freedom from choice.

This casual spot has standout dumplings served in a modern, sleek setting - perfect for lunch, happy hour, or a sexy first date. Try the pork and scallion Shanghai dumplings.

My first time here. I let the bartender make a drink of their choice which was excellent. Also I suggest the peppercorn crusted flat iron steak. Was cooked to perfection!!!!

My favorite Chinese-style fried chicken is made here- perfectly tender meat surrounded by delicately salted, crispy skin. The Salt and Pepper Squid is another fried feat. (Arteries. arteries.)

A Chinese restaurant inspired by one of San Francisco's greatest chefs, Charles Phan of Slanted Door. Drop by the bar after the theater and enjoy some cocktails and pupus. -Roy Yamaguchi, Top Chef Ma
