Pros: Grant Avenue was colourful, cheap, varied, and it didn't display animal cruelty. Cons: The other streets.
Having visited San Francisco’s Chinatown twice, I have lost all desire to actually visit China. The first time, I had a cold and wasn’t feeling too well, so the sounds, smells, and sights all had twice the effect they normally would have. I’d ...
Pros: Prices, cheap eats and stores Cons: Appearance, cleanliness, not all souvenirs are created equal, human traffic
I'm of a half breed Chinese, so I have become familiar with Chinese cultures as well as food. Living in Massachusetts, I make the occasional trip to Boston's Chinatown on a Sunday afternoon, for some dim sum, which is quite good. Now, all aside, Boston's ...
Pros: Great if you know what you're doing. Cons: It could become a tourist-waste-of-time.
Like playing tourist? Like eating? Will you be visiting (or live close to) the largest Chinatown outside of China? Then you must go on the “I Can’t Believe I Ate My Way Through Chinatown” tour. It’s fun, educational, entertaining, and you get to eat...
Pros: Beautiful shops and restaurants, excellent food Cons: Can be crowded during special events
When my friend and I were planning out our weekend trip to San Francisco, one of the things we had to do was eat dim sum in Chinatown. Being avid foodies, we wanted to experience the real thing (I've had authentic dim sum in Asia, but she had only...
Pros: Colorful part of town... Cons: Cheaply made, cheaply sold goods, in cramped stores that are tourist traps
When we were in San Francisco last September, we made a special point to visit Chinatown. We were actually walking ALL OVER San Francisco between Union Square and Pier 39, up and down hills and steep streets, and spent an entire day just exploring this...
Pros: Can find some cheap eats and cheap souvenirs Cons: Does not really reflect modern Chinese culture
Being of Chinese descent, I feel compelled to make a stop at Chinatown of every major city I visit (London, Boston, Seattle, New York, etc.) and see how my culture is presented and represented in foreign countries. If you have been to other Chinatowns,...
Pros: Cheap souvenirs, great food, and it's a "real" Chinatown Cons: Some things are very cheaply made, a lot of signs are in Chinese only.
There's no Chinatown like the Chinatown in San Francisco. If you enjoy a lot of hustle and bustle, Chinese food, and shopping till you drop, then San Francisco's Chinatown is for you.
I just returned from spending a 3-day weekend in San...
Pros: Hot fresh cookies, inexpensive. Cons: A little hard to find your first time.
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
Chinatown is always fun, a great place to shop and dine. But if you would like an unique experience, visit the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory. The factory is located on Ross Alley...
Pros: glimpse of Chinese heritage/culture, great food, friendly people, great Chinese architectures and buildings Cons: litered streets, some-what dirty, walking, to many places to visit all in one day.
Because of my Chinese culture, I periodically visit the Los Angeles ChinaTown quite often and have also visited ChinaTown in San Francisco a year back. So what do I think of Chinatown in my perspective, considering I am Chinese? I Love it! ...
Pros: Good authentic Chinese food Cons: Need to know about it
Both times I've visited San Francisco, I've taken one evening and wondered around Chinatown looking in all the shops and trying to find a great place to eat. Last night, I had one heck of a meal!
Pros: Cheap souvenirs, eats Cons: Confusing, no central destination
Almost all the guidebooks call Chinatown a must visit while you're in San Francisco, I however, don't particularly like the place. The first thing to note is that there is no central destination, when you go to Chinatown, you're actually going to an ...
Pros: Fun, interesting, and delicious Cons: Hard to find
When my mother-in-law found out I had to travel to San Francisco for a business trip, she told me to try and find the "Fortune Cookie Factory". With a little help from Epinions and braindeadagain's review, I was able to find it. <A HREF=...
Pros: great eating and shopping Cons: no matter how good of deal you think you got it will be cheaper at the next store
Rule number one is to drive a hard bargain in souvenir shops and to check several different stores before you buy anything for example I saw the same post cards any where from 25 cents each to 15 for a dollar. I paid $3.95 for a coffee mug only to find...
