Reviews for Xiao Loong Restaurant in San Francisco, CA

A neighborhood favorite. Good food, friendly staff and a great place to meet with old friends.

Ordered veggie potsrickers, wontons and claypot with prawns and tofu. The wonton barely had any filing and tasted like crispy... bread. The potsrickers had very thick wrapper and tasted rubbery, their filing was mostly cabbage and bland. The main dish,claypot, was extremely bland and tastes like boiled shrimp. The service is great and the waiters are very friendly. Read more

Tan tan noodle was just way too sweet. Need to add the savory element to it or it's just not good at all and I was deceived by... its picture. You can totally add some ?? to spice things up cuz right now it's like eating noodle in corn syrup. I only ate itbecause I was too hungry and out of time. Dried fried chicken was not bad though.

My grandfather used to make steamed fish for me. Simple, fresh flavors with scallions and a touch of oil and ginger. I love the... spicy steamed fish here. Try the green beans and lamb too! Read more

Always excellent service. Always accommodating. High quality ingredients and dishes. For example all sauces taste different,... plump fresh shrimp versus tiny frozen ones. Curb side pickups are a plus. Unquestionably the best Chinese food in West Portaland one of the best in San Francisco. Read more

Wowowowowow this place is PRIME. I am so glad that I live so close to this place. So delectable. We got pot stickers. They are... massive. So good. Mix it with the soy sauce and the orange-colored sauce they bring out. YUM. also very filling. Then I got theTan Tan Noodle and holy moly that was so freaking delicious. Apparently it's or two people buuuut I ate it allllll. The noodlesare a cool thickness that I never had before. The water chestnuts are so good with the peanut butt. The peanut flavoring isdelectable. Get this dish please! You could easily share it with two people but if you're really hungry, like I was apparently,you can chow down the whole thing. Read more

Was skeptical about the authenticity of the restaurant due to the other reviews on Google, but am certainly glad that I trusted... that person's review. This place is slept on! Location was lovely, and not so busy like that of downtown SF. That atmosphereinside was equally lovely. The smell that wafted out the door while we waited for the waiters to cleanup and seat us wasmouth-watering. The appetizer we shared (Chinese Chicken ????) was absolutely delicious. Perfectly MOIST and tender chicken andcrispy lettuce on god ???????? The staff were super helpful & friendly, the waiter (whom I wish I could remember his name) did afantastic job with taking down our order, to even checking back on us appropriately without it feeling too much. I even likedthe fact that he took down our entire order without writing anything down, and with that to all of our surprise, he didn'tforget a single thing. Loved that this place was traditional and authentic to it's roots. You can't really find a gem like thisthat often anymore but if you do decide to check this place out, YOU WON'T BE DISSATISFIED!! The chefs in the kitchen added justthe right amount of flavor without missing a key note & without it tasting overly salty. This was the very first time I've beenhere, & I'm definitely going to come back. My GF & her sister (whom are both Chinese) especially liked their dishes but werejust as curious about the rest of what we didn't order from the menu. I'm sure if I don't go back soon, they'll be in there tolet me know how the other dishes were! Thank you Xiao Loong Restaurant. Your excellent establishment and friendly, helpfulstaff really topped off our night. & Our satisfaction resting in our bellies ???? ????/10 Read more
