San Francisco's Chinatown is one of the oldest and largest in the U.S. with over 27 square blocks of restaurants featuring a variety of really good Chinese cuisine. However you've got to be careful as there's also a fair share of restaurants catering towards touristy tastes (orange chicken and chow mein anyone?) I've scoured the top food blogs to bring you the best AUTHENTIC Chinese cuisine in Chinatown. Let's check out those recommendations in this video and see how spot on they are!
