"San Francisco is home to the country’s oldest Chinatown, and meandering down its streets lined with hanging red lanterns, restaurants, and shops is a basic requirement on any trip to the city. Here, you’ll find no shortage of excellent food—but Good Mong Kok is the place for massive BBQ pork buns, plump har gow, pork siu mai, and more delicious dim sum treats. Another perk: you’ll be able to get enough to feed at least two people for less than $10. There’s no sit-down dining, so take your food to go and enjoy it in nearby Portsmouth Square." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
