Most Chinatown adventures begin at the corner of Bush and Grant Ave at the ornate Dragon Gate.
Z&Y Restaurant is a Szechuan-style restaurant headed by the award-winning Chef Han. One of their most raved-about dishes is the tea-smoked Peking duck.
On many streets in Chinatown, you’ll find a variety of street art. Some depict Bruce Lee, others with dragons and Chinese architecture.
Waverly Place is two blocks lined with beautiful Chinese buildings, family-run businesses, temples, and the Michelin Star restaurant, Mister Jiu's.

The Chinese Historical Society of America is a museum and society dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Chinese contributions to America.
A few of my favorite places to see Chinese architecture are Waverly Place, Grant Ave, and the Sing Tong building.
The major draw to Li Po Lounge, that’s drawn the likes of Anthony Bourdain, are the killer mai tais that that incredibly friendly bartender blends up in batches.
The Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory makes 10,000 fortune cookies from scratch…and by hand, daily!
