Overview
When San Francisco's Chinatown population escaped to the Inner Richmond neighborhood, so did the best Chinese food. Today, Clement St - the main thoroughfare of the neighborhood - features some of the best food boutiques and specialty culinary joints in the city. Come join us as we help you discover (and order) the best pork buns, dumplings, Boba tea and dim sum in the neighborhood. Along the way, we'll get up close and personal with contemporary Asian culture and life.
About Your Guide
I am all about exploring local history, architecture, food and art to learn about how places came to be. You can find me in search of hidden places, tasty dim sum, high-design speakeasies, skyline vistas and other ingredients to build the perfect day.
