R and G Lounge is a popular Hong Kong style Cantonese Chinese restaurant in San Francisco. Since 1985 they have been serving top notch Chinese food in Chinatown.
Decor, Vibe – They have remodeled over the years to modern, clean decor. Lots of families, tourists, some business folks, and locals were eating at this busy restaurant.
Menu Pictures
If you are challenged with what to order, stick to the items with pictures. They are all specialties.
Picks:
Clams with Black Bean Sauce ($15) is a classic dish with lots of clams hot off the wok. Fresh clams and good sauce.
Deep Fried Fish ($20) was a whole fish fried to crispiness and topped with a light sauce. Fresh and very good.
Roast Squab ($16) roasted to golden brown crispy skin, served with seasoning salt on the side. Perfect execution of this poultry dish.
OK:
Princess Chicken ($15) specially marinated with ginger and onion sauce. It was pretty average, decent quantities but nothing special to it.
Pea shoots ($13) were in good quantity but were pretty standard issue.
Pans:
None
R and G Lounge’s service was slightly above average for a Chinese restaurant. Servers were hustling by but needed some prompting. Free red bean dessert soup to those who ask.
This restaurant and Pearl on Washington St remain the two best bets for Chinese food in Chinatown. They have both been around for many years.
Compared to other top notch places like Koi Palace in Daly City, R and G offers competitive cuisine with Koi Palace perhaps edging them out slightly due to much higher volumes.
