New Lun Ting Cafe

Having gone here my whole childhood, returning after 12 years away from SF; this Chinatown institution has not changed. The menu, the taste and the home cooked meals are timeless. Having been open since 1908 and only on its third owner, Lun Ting a must do. Pot stickers are still hand made. Rice is cooked over a stove in a pot that is probably over 30 years old. Their pork chop dish is their signature. Their methods on how to cook the pork to perfection is a family secret. This place is not fancy nor found on any list for locals and tourist. And that is sad because you are missing out.

This restaurant is definitely my type of place. Family run, homey low-key atmosphere, good food and service. It's definitely not a fancy place, and the prices aren't fancy either. I had beef chow fun, and it arrived quickly, hot, and was very tasty. The restaurant itself has been there over 100 years. Most of the people eating there seemed like they were regulars. Next time I visit, I will try the pork chop, which it is apparently known for. Highly recommended.

Family run business. Food is simple and very good. I had the roast pork and rice plate. Soup, dumpling appetizer, and tea accompany the food. I started with dumpling. It was the best dumpling I ever had! The right amount of ginger to match the perfect savory of the pork and scallion filling. Wrapping had a nice crunch outside and al dente underneath. Roast pork was tender and juicy. Wonderful sauce covering the pork. It is not a fancy restaurant. It has a feeling of home charm when tasting the food. Delicious. I forgot to mention. That was a lot of roast pork for the price! I had to box the rest of my lunch for later.

Really good food from this small restaurant in Chinatown SF. We had beef fried rice and Kung Pao chicken. Both dishes were delicious. We were given some soup and a complimentary pot sticker prior to our meal. Place is very small and doesn't have a great ambiance, but food and service were on point. A touch pricey as well.

When we stumbled onto this restaurant we were hungry for lunch and the restaurant seemed like the most inviting one. We sit down and immediately realize this was going to be incredibly authentic (I think we might have been the only tourists) and the menu was extensive we all found something that appealed to us. What came out was incredible the marinaded pork chops I had were huge! The vegetables were a nice consistency and the soup was delicious. What a great place and if I get back to San Francisco I will not hesitate to go back and try more of the menu.
