Went to this joint a while ago because Tina was raving about it. The service at this Chinese joint in SF Chinatown is TERRIBLE. I am kind of ashamed that they are Chinese. One reason that the service is so terrible is because its food is so great that the restaurant is not afraid of losing business. The waiter ignores people half the time and just can't wait to take the menu out of my hands when I finished ordering. I actually insisted that I keep the menu just to see if we wanted to order more later (to give THEM more business), but she snatched it away when we weren't looking. When the dishes came, the waiter slid it off her hands and it clang with the other dishes on the table as well as dishes on another table. It's as if she's showing a dish around to the dogs - lady can you watch the fk out?? The seating was packed like it really was China, tiny as hell and you're sitting elbow to elbow with people - reminded me of my high school exit exam when everyone cheated off everyone (800 kids in a small ass auditorium - is you serious?!).
Now - the food isn't actually THAT great but maybe we got the wrong thing. We had calamari to start, their trademark sesame chicken, couple other so-so dishes that we can't remember because the service was so alarming, and we had to pay extra for the white rice (but it was actually pretty good). The calamari was flavorless and not the traditionally heavily battered and fried kind. The sesame chicken would only be good if you didn't know it was their specialty dish; otherwise, you would be unimpressed.
