   Not your neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Delicious, inventive Chinese food served on white tablecloths. Not inexpensive but portions are huge so easily shared. Highly recommended.

   Open table allowed us to make a reservation for 8.15pm when restaurant closes at 8.30! Thankfully I noticed the timings after on the website and called to check.

   Having read some of the reviews prior to dining at Fangs, I was really disappointed in our experience. We thought our food was pretty mediocre and overcooked. Upon arrival, we decided to use the bathrooms before we sat down. The bathrooms were filthy, especially the toilet seats. Both men and women in our group returned to the table and commented on the foul bathroom conditions. One person in our group postponed using the bathroom because of the squalid conditions. The waiter person took our order promptly and brought us our food, but never checked back with us to ask if we needed anything. We ordered 2 entrees to share: Ginger chicken and the Sesame chicken . The portion size was extremely generous. Each order could have fed 4 people. But the chicken in both dishes were badly overcooked. The vegetables in both entree dishes were very tasty. In addition to our 2 entree orders and white rice, we ordered spring rolls. The vegetarian spring rolls were quite enjoyable. The booths near the kitchen offered us some relief from the noise. Given the overall experience, we don't plan to return

    We had lunch for the first time at Fang. Dinner is more relaxed and quiet. The food was excellent, as usual. We love the fried rice snd their signature dish of chicken and sweet potato. The Fang sister was serving us. Lovely people and food.

    This place is totally different than it looks online. The outside windows and doors were boarded up and padlocked making it appear that it’s been shut down. About 5 min before they opened they took the boards down and inside was chaotic. Dark, cluttered, and dusty! We decided to give the place the benefit of the doubt bc the reviews of food were good. Food was just ok. Experience overall was surprising and didn’t meet expectations.

    Maybe it's a covid thing but we are constantly surprised at how early kitchens close these days. We had a family dinner arranged for 7:30PM on a Saturday night and were excited that we could get a reservation for 6 people. We were anticipating being able to eat, talk, eat some more and generally socialize. The food came quickly - extremely quickly - and all of a sudden they were boarding up the windows and telling us that kitchen was closing. Perhaps if we had started dinner at 6:30 we would have felt less rushed but as it was, we enjoyed the food but did not have a nice relaxing dinner experience.

    I love going to Fang whenever I'm in San Francisco. We just let them order the food for us and it's always great. Each dish is different and delicious. The service is always on top of things, as we finish one dish another one comes to the table. Great for large crowds or a date night. One of my favorites in the city.

    Fang has wonderful food. Last night was relatively uncrowded and quiet, so the atmosphere was nice too. But like most San Francisco restaurants, they are short-staffed, so service was slow. In fact we intended to place a take-out order midway through our sitdown meal, but we didn't see a waiter or waitress again until we were finished eating and ready for our check. This was only a minor annoyance - we enjoyed the evening, and will definitely be back.

    Lived in SF pre-pandemic for years and am in town visiting. I wanted to give my business to an "authentic" SF spot. Underwhelming is being generous when I describe our dinner date at Fang this evening. We were served a warm Sapporo, scraps of cold sesame chicken (basically just the small fried breading pieces), and cold and dry Mongolian beef with barely any sauce. We were basically shoved out the door at 8:29p. They turned off the music, turned on bright lights near us & turned off all of the lights in the kitchen, boarded up all of the outer windows and mopped the floor starting at 8:15 - while we (and two other small tables) dined. The couple closest to us was overcharged and had to get their bill corrected. Some of the staff had their to-go bags of food, their coats on, and stood and watched/waited for us to finish eating/leave. It was extremely awkward. We were there a total of 35 minutes and spent/wasted $100.00. Poor food, poor ambiance - poor everything. We will not return.

    Just about everything about this meal was a disappointment - I recommend you look elsewhere. The only “good” thing about this meal were the appetizers, but they were average at best. Even the wine was barely palatable. The big let down, though, was the mains. They were bland as anything - a piece of cardboard has more flavor. The textures were…unpleasant. And the quality of the meats seemed to be low. The service was fine, not great. We asked for water several times, but it never came. They saw that we barely touched one of our mains (the sizzling rice that has a “highly recommended” label next to it - it was awful, don’t get it) and removed it from the bill, which was nice of them. But beyond that, we felt like we were an inconvenience to the staff, despite keeping to ourselves, and other than asking for water, having limited interaction with the team. We arrived starving. We left still starving. We will never return.

    Food was outstanding as always. Service continues to be an issue. Indifferent and uninterested. Getting drinks was a challenge. Hope they can take care of that. If not, will consider other options. There are plenty.

    Extraordinarily good food every time. Lovely staff. Great service. Great ambience. And the food presentation is also pretty. And some dished get made tableside for an added bit of entertainment. Great for special occasions, although you may want to go much more often than that! They do currently check vaccination status. Be aware that like most businesses in the area nowadays, they must board over the storefront windows overnight. So if you go by outside or business hours and it looks boarded up, don't panic! It really is still open!

    As we reviewed the menu, the chef came out and asked if we trust him?… He proceeded to pick foods for our dinner. Other than the pork bun appetizer, the food was disappointing. What he ordered for us ended up being $90 with tax and tip. The disappointing service matched the food offering, a poor value, and we will not be returning.

    The food was delicious. Different from standard SF Cantonese (Chef Fang also owns House of Nanking), nice spicy heat, well cooked on hot woks, good ingredients. Worth going for the food alone. The decor is modern Asian and atmospherically lit. The restaurant is ... or can be ... an experience. Chef Fang took our order, as he will from time to time, and he can be imposing. He rejected one of our choices by saying "that's the worst dish I ever made" and really who can argue with the chef. There was one unexpected change of protein from our negotiated order, chef's choice I guess. He sat at a large table next to us by himself directing traffic in Chinese, being bowed at by every server, very much in charge. But the service was bedlam! Maybe it was a makeshift staff due to Chinese New Year but every runner was yelling at the cooks in Chinese, arguing with each other, sorting things out, bustling around. There was no actual server for our table, we just flagged people down. The dishes came out when they were ready over 20 or 30 minutes according to some obscure priority, meaning an appetizer came out last, a side dish first, you just take them as they come. My Chilean mother-in-law loved the family-owned feel and "authenticity" and I think had a crush on Chef Fang, he's a striking older man and strong personality, and she went up to the counter to thank him when we were done in a gracious old-world exchange. We had fun in an after-the-parade atmosphere but it was definitely not a quiet date night!

    FANG is one San Francisco's best treasures. For a city known for it extraordinary food options, FANG stands among the best of the best. The secret to both FANG and The House of Nanking (same owner extremely similar menus) is to go with an open mind and allow Peter (owner chef) to decide what you'll eat. Forgo the menu. Simply ask for the staff to decide. They'll ask you about your food preferences, allergies, hunger level, etc. and soon there will be some of the most scrumptious food on your table.

At the entrance we were asked for our vaccine proof, seated at a good distance from everyone and owner himself makes sure that you having a good time and food. Father Daughter duo is awesome.
