Beautiful neighborhood of the city, very busy, wonderful people, great shopping, & authentic Asian food. Items in stores don't see anywhere else. Grant Avenue has lined the street back & forth with Asian Lanterns , so beautiful ⛩️

Had high hopes of this neighbourhood in SF but was quite underwhelmed to be honest. It seemed to have a lot of touristy souvenir shops and many run down restaurants. The fortune cookie workshop was worth finding for a very quick visit and we did find a fab restaurant (R&G Lounge). dragon Gate and lanterns were colourful but other than that, there are better places to spend time in San Francisco.

Chinatown was bustling with energy & people. Locals were everywhere visiting the markets busily purchasing fresh fish, meat, and vegetables. Crowded, we had to wind our way about the sidewalks. For those of us visiting, it was an experience. I wished I had more time to see more. We found a place to eat sitting down (many places are take out only) and a bakery to eat treats later. Many unusual food items including tons of dried foods.

Chinatown is mostly one long street on which are a lot of shops along with some grocery stores and restaurants. Many of the shops are souveneir shops, but there are also a lot of jewelry and scarf shops. All in all, it is well worth a visit to walk around.

I have been to many Chinatowns. This was a bucket list for me since it is supposed to be the biggest Chinatown in North America. It is big. But it is mainly filled with tourist shops. I thought I would see more authentic Chinese stores. There are many restaurants and some stores. We did not have enough time to walk around.

Enjoyed lunch at sushi boat restaurant. Lots of tourist gift shops at good prices. Picked up some key rings and magnets for small gifts. Street entertainment was good too.
