San Tung Chinese Restaurant

This restaurant serves authentic southern chinese food. I especially like the steamed pork buns so I definately recommend those. The prices were good and the wait staff were very pleasant. Parking was decent, much better than you would encounter at other restaurants in the area.

I have to go to San Tung every time I am back in the city. The food here is amazing. I recommend the potstickers and dumplings and the dry fry chicken. The wait is long though so make sure you go early or make reservations. The service is not world class but the food makes up entirely for that. Also, I suggest trying any noodles from here because they make the noodles themselves.

I went to San Tung after hearing about how great it is from friends and online reviews. I probably went in really high expectations because I didn't think the food was as fantastic as it sounded. The was a long wait list when I got there, as expected. I waited about 40 minutes before getting a table, which wasn't too bad for a Friday night. I ordered the black bean noodle, the famous chicken wings (wet-style, there was sauce all over them), and the dry stir-fried green beans. The green beans weren't bad, but I did not really like the chicken wings. I think I should have ordered them dry. I'm not really a fan of sweet- flavored wings (I prefer hot wings, just spicy, no sweet goo). I wasn't sure what to expect out of the noodles, but they were also all right. I might go back and give it another try, but there are plenty of good places to eat on Irving St and all around the Sunset.

There is usually a line for this place but it is definitely worth the wait. The prices and portions are reasonable. The steamed dumpling are okay but the dry fried chicken legs are a must have, juicy and crispy. The pot stickers and noodles are so are good! The food has good flavor and tastes fresh.

The sizzling rice soup, and mu shu is the best! Prices are very reasonable, and they're always busy. The only bad part is the parking during peek hours. but, that's to be expected when "restauranting" in a city such as san fran. you'll soon forget about parking...hey, you might forget about your car, altogether (especially if you're korean), when you discover that this san tung's has some dishes that you only find at Chinese restaurants run by Korean people, in particular, Ja Jang Mein (a black bean noodle dish) and Jang Bong (a spicy seafood soup noodle dish). Both dishes are very tasty. Their chicken wings are also really good. They are busy, but they move people through quickly."

San Tung is a winner in terms of taste and price. Don't miss the famous fried-dry (or wet) chicken, which is a very tasty deep fried and peppery battered chicken. I would suggest any General Tso chicken fans to try it.

PROS: Famous fried dry (or wet) chicken.
CONS: Long long waits. Get there early.
