If China is anything like this I won't be rushing to go, the place is filthy and too many looky looky people harassing you and shoving leaflets at you. Avoid would be my advice

Chinatown is very nice to take a walk, nice place to mingle with the locals, buy some souvenirs for a good price and take great pictures! do not miss it!
Worth walking through, and learning about the history of San Francisco's China town, which I heard is the biggest one.
We love coming to San Francisco and Chinatown is a big part of the trip. Great bakeries, great prices. - if you are willing to compare and work for the bargains.
Pleased we walked through it but that's it really. We looked in a few shops but didn't really get what all the fuss is about. Perhaps we were looking in the wrong place ! We didn't have that long to look around though so had a couple of hours just wandering.

I question what is about this place. It is just a street with some Chinese writings and some houses changed into some Chinese roofs. Not much about it. We had a nice Chinese dinner here - but we where disappointed of this world famous quarter
My husband and I were excited to tour Chinatown during our trip to San Francisco. It is a great place to stock up on items for your hotel room (cheap fruits and veggies) as well as to eat some different types of food. I recommend dim sum for anyone who has not tried it.

Chinatown is quite colorful area. If you walk the main touristic streets, you can see many shops selling the souvenirs, teashops, restaurants, all these are located along the main touristic street Grant.
To see the real life of the Chinese in San Francisco, try to venture streets like Weaverly, where there is tiny beautiful Buddhist temple Tien How or explore...

A unique experience to feel like you are in a town in China while in the USA. Everyone is speaking Chinese and the food and fish store are just like being in China. Be sure to have a meal at any of the local restaurants to appreciate the experience.
Typical Chinatown you could find in most major cities Busy narrow streets with lots of shops and restaurants Had to try the food which was overpriced and just ok Our Chinatown at home leaves this standing! Having said that, not a bard area to visit which seemed safe
