About this business

The dumplings at San Tung are bursting with pork, chicken, beef or vegetable fillings that are dense with flavor. The favorite noodle dishes combine a rich black bean sauce topped with either seafood, beef, chicken or veggies for a hearty and delicious meal. There are also a few Korean dishes on the menu. But the most popular dish that has customers flocking back to San Tung are the dry fried chicken wings, glazed in a light tangy-sweet-hot sauce. Refreshing Chinese and Korean beers are an excellent accompaniment. The servic... read more

Unique dishes – Their signature spicy chicken wings are fantastic. My favorite noodle is the seafood black bean noodles as well as the peanut butter noodles. Their dumplings are great too. There's always a wait, but that just comes with the territory of having great food. It may not have the best service or decor, but then again, we're not paying $75/head. I have always taken my friends who are visiting SF to this restaurant and EVERYONE has always enjoyed it.

Horrible horrible review... – This is a horrible, horrible review. I think you're a moron. San Tung is one of the better Chinese restaurants in town. However, going there at 11:00 AM is hardly the best way to that out. I will say that it is not for the decor, nor the engaging servers that SF locals and outsiders alike flock to this place, but for the food, the fantastic variety and consistent quality of their dishes, and the more than reasonable prices. Take it from somebody who has been enjoying and returning and further en... read more

Droves of hungry diners flock to this bare-bones spot for affordable and authentic Chinese noodles. – The Scene Faux orchids and faded red Tsingtao paper lanterns minimally decorate this brightly lit dining room. Consistently buzzing with local noodle addicts, the cacophonous space makes conversation nearly impossible. Servers are efficient and no-nonsense, much like their surroundings. The Food Since the encyclopedic menu can be daunting, in-the-know diners stick to the ever-popular hand-pulled noodles, dumplings and "dry-f... read more

Incredibly Bad food, IT IS NOT Chinese Food IMHO, more like Korean imitation Chinese food – Despite my disagrement with other reviewers' opinions I do not call them names. Every restaurant has it's bad days or good days dependin on the occasion. I am just statiing the actual experience I have had at this place. I believe another reviewer also stated similiar views in regards to the odor that this restaurant does have. I believe the other reviewer stated that the restaurant smelled liked an unwashed mop. If you like the food ... read more

GREAT FOOD – i was introduced to San Tung recently by a friend. we happen to get there at the right time since we only had to wait for a table for 5 minutes. once we were seated, i noticed a line starting to form by the front door. first off the KIM CHEE was delicious. if that was on the menu i would have ordered that too. the food was terrific and served at the right temperature. dry fried chicken was seasoned just right and the dry sauteed green beans were still crisp with great flavor. i will be back to try more dishes.

Best Hot & Sour Soup – They have the BEST Hot & Sour Soup - it's tasty and full of the right ingredients in every spoonful. The dry braised chicken wings in sweet and spicy sauce is the bomb - what's not to like? Their spicy soup noodles are quite good too... For the price and the portion, you just can't really complain...

Best Chicken ever! – This is my favorite Chinese restaurant, bar none!!! My friends and I always get the same dishes when go - dry chicken (their signature dish), pork dumplings, and sizzling rice soup - the perfect combination. During dinnertime there is a wait but even then, you can get seated within 20-30 minutes. Great food and low prices - what more could you ask for?!
