You could walk right past 2234 Mission Street and not think twice that you're passing one of the most popular restaurants in the city. And not just best Chinese restaurants outside of Chinatown, best restaurants, period. So good that head chef Danny Bowien opened a similar restaurant in Manhattan last year, and those picky New Yorkers were forced to admit that San Francisco did indeed have fantastic Chinese food, too. Like most California cooking, this cuisine has been slightly "westernized," which creates its unique appeal. Most dishes are hot and spicy, so be forewarned, particularly the beer-brined sichuan pickles, a local favorite.
