Is there anything unique to SF Chinatown and the surrounding blocks these days that one can’t find easily in the burbs? The context is I used to work next to Chinatown and ate there quite a bit, but haven’t eaten there for a while because similar food can be found in the burbs like SV.
Anywhere else in the Bay Area, besides Jai Yun, Mister Jiu’s, China Live? R&G, Z&Y, soy sauce western, noodle and jook have substitutes elsewhere. Maybe Golden Gate Bakery but they are certainly not the only decent ones in town. Is Jai Yun still doing lunch? I may make a trip to Chinatown at some point in the future, and would prefer to eat there out of convenience, but wondering if it makes more sense to, for me, eat at e.g. Liguria, Cotogna or places on this North Beach thread instead.
