"This is our usual go to place for hot pot since its all you can eat. If you never had hot pot before, I suggest going with some friends and with at least one friend that has experienced hot pot before to show you this great experience, which is very simple, basically picking out the ingredients to put in your desired broth choice to cook yourself until it is ready. We had a a party of 5 for a birthday dinner the night we went. We opted for 'B ' Course, which includes 'A ' course for more options for us to choose from. We had 2 separate hot pots with 2 different both flavors, chinese herbal beef bone broth, which is like the regular basic broth, and tom yum broth which has a little spice to it but not too over powering. There were many options to choose from for you hot pot. Udon noodles, quail eggs, baby bok choy, watercress, lamb, enoki mushrooms, rib eye, bamboo shoots, pork belly were some of many varieties of food you can get for your hot pot. There are different drink choices as well, we order some bubble tea, I was surprised on how many choices and varieties of bubble tea they offered. Since the night we went had only one waiter taking care of all of the tables, I would say about 5 tables, including ours, we had to wait a little bit for the waiter to take care of us, which is understandable, but overall experience, it was ok, we left there full and happy."

"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!"
