When you need a break from Chinatown but still want yummy Chinese food, head to Nanking Road Bistro. Don't let the empty seats fool you - they do a tremendous catering business, so the restaurant is almost a side-venture. The consistent quality of the sweet and sour soup symbolizes their dedication to fresh ingredients cooked just right. After kicking off your meal with that signature soup, try their Sizzling Atlantic Salmon Filet & Asparagus, served with a black bean and garlic sauce and sake wine in a hot iron pot. Once the meal is over, you can head down Ninth Street straight into Golden Gate Park for an invigorating walk.
