Food Scene
The 1400 Grill and Bar is our favorite place to go for a juicy burger and fries, or an amazing Reuben sandwich, or anything else on the menu. Huge portions, friendly staff, fair prices, and only a block away. If you like spicy food, try a side order of fried pickled jalapeños.

Yokohama
2050 BroadwayThis tiny Japanese restaurant has the best sushi in town.
This is a classic "dive" Chinese restaurant with cooked meats hanging in the window, but it's the best Cantonese restaurant in Chinatown. Try the Barbecue Pork Chow Mein, or Shrimp Fried Rice, or Singapore Rice Noodles if you're a curry fan.

For a different type of Chinese food, try Sichuan cuisine that's famous for its "numbing" spicy dishes (the spice actually numbs your tongue!). This restaurant has slow service, but it's always packed because the food is so good.

Catch the ferry from here to San Francisco. The ferry is a lovely boat ride across the bay, and the easiest way to get to Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf without having to fight traffic and parking issues.
