"This place doesn't need much more acclaim. It's a schelling point for many people: 1 those who appreciate the deep history and culture of high-end Cantonese cuisine; how it serves as the backbone of the beautiful moments and memories many families, friends, and business associates have made, and continue to make around it throughout the years 2 those who understand how complex it is to master the simple, classic dishes (go and try making one of the fried rice yourself and achieve the mouthfeel of the rice grains.. its only fried rice... right..?! 3 those that pay attention to detail on the high-quality ingredients that are sourced and then meticulously and laboriously mise-en-placed and cooked for our enjoyment. Quality so good, you can taste it. 4 those who are lucky enough to have been around to witness this place grow and establish itself as an institution through the evolution of SF Chinatown. With skyrocketing food and human labor costs, and COVID-19, the restaurant business is harder than it has ever been. It's a feat that doesn't go unnoticed. We are SO lucky this place is open to share their story with us. Anyways, the fried crab seems to dominate the reviews so I wanted to highlight some of their other dishes that I enjoyed on my most recent visit. Loved every single one of them and will always look forward to going back to R&G. See you there!"
