"A Chinatown standard for more than 40 long years, the family-run House of Nanking remains a reliable destination for Shanghainese food unlike what’s found elsewhere in San Francisco. The pro move is to let the staff order for you; all you have to do is sit back and await heaping plates of house noodles, sesame chicken, and shrimp packets swimming in peanut sauce. It’s affordable and popular, so there may be a wait." - Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff
