Chinese-American Restaurant Reviews

Chinese-American Eateries, Part 1

“Chinese-American” refers to Chinese restaurants that serve continental food, some exclusively, some together with a Chinese-food menu.

The advantage of Chinese-American restaurants to diners is that the cooks — who are often well-schooled and experienced — know how to cook, and offer the dishes at Chinese-food prices. It is generally not known, but many of the top chefs in Italian and French restaurants in San Francisco are Chinese.
