Yu Shi Yuan is quite famous in Chinatown. The Sichuan cuisine they serve may be a little spicy for Sichuanese, but for those of us who prefer lighter food, it is still very good. There are many dishes, so it would be better to make a reservation.

Very delicious Chinese restaurant. Although I am not particularly spicy, this Sichuan restaurant is quite delicious. The chef is still very good. In San Francisco, it is a restaurant. The name of this store is very big.

We thought this was a Chinese restaurant but it was more of a Chinese-Japanese fusion. Most of the menu was unfamiliar and we were unsure what to choose. Most items seemed to have a lot of heavy spice. Food quality was good and appetizers especially tasty. Not many options for vegans.

The most popular Sichuan restaurant in San Francisco is a palm-sized American #fly restaurant#, and there are so many people! If you go there at 6 or 7 in the evening, there will be a long queue. I counted and there were more than 20 tables in front of me. The waiter said that I would have to wait for more than an hour, so I finally gave up. I will try to go there before returning! Oh, by the way, this is also a recommended restaurant by @Ctrip Food Forest, it seems that the recommendation was not blind, haha! The chef is said to be a national chef, and the dishes such as husband and wife lung slices and Maoxuewang are very authentic.

I had dinner at a famous Sichuan restaurant in San Francisco called "Yu Shi Yuan", which is said to be praised by Obama. Just like in China, I queued for an hour and finally had my meal at 9:30 pm... Walking on this street, it felt like walking on the street in Taidong, Qingdao. Including the tip, I spent a total of $100. The food was okay, and any restaurant in China would beat it.

You must come to this restaurant when you come to San Francisco to eat Sichuan cuisine! The taste is great! You must not miss it if you like spicy food! The owner of the restaurant used to be the "Imperial Kitchen" and even cooked for Hu Jintao in Beijing! No wonder there is a long line, authentic spicy, very refreshing!

This is the best Chinese food I've ever had abroad. It beats anything in Europe and Japan. It's not bad in China. After all, there are many Chinese in San Francisco, and most of them speak English. The restaurant is not big, but the business is very good. I waited for a long time to avoid sharing a table. I thought it might not be spicy because it was improved, but it was spicy and authentic. The portion was also large. Unlike the boiled fish in China, only bean sprouts are left after a few chopsticks. They don't put bean sprouts, the fish slices are large, and the sour soup beef has a lot of ingredients. It doesn't need to order vegetables and can be used as soup. The husband and wife lung slices are very fragrant with sesame sauce. Cash payment can get a discount.

This is a Chinese Sichuan restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown, located on Jackson Street. My friend told me that this is the most famous Sichuan restaurant in San Francisco, and the chef is a national master. In fact, from the outside, this restaurant does not look high-end, the decoration is very ordinary, and the surrounding environment is also average. But the food here is a success, there are many customers, and if you don't make a reservation in advance, you will almost have to wait in line for a seat. The Sichuan cuisine here is very authentic, such as mouth-watering chicken, husband and wife lung slices, and Kung Pao chicken, which are delicious. And this restaurant also provides Beijing roast duck, maybe to meet the needs of foreigners? The service in the restaurant is average.
