Kathy's

This is the best kept secret Chinese restaurant in the city. We have been to a of chinese restaurants in the city, and we always compare Kathy's food, they are the best Chinese food in town. Kathy's is our barometer of what chinese food is all about. Very honest people - We liked there food very much, we wanted to cater them for our daughter's birthday. The owner asked (after the food is cooked and delivered), how long is the food going to be eaten? Answer was 2-3 hours. The owner declined and said, "chinese food are to be eaten immediately after it is cooked". He then recommended other children's favorite food. It could have been big $$ for him, but he declined, which was very impressive. This is our tenth year as regular diners. -Jose Pros: Best food in town Cons: street parking more

My husband and I have gone to Kathy's about a dozen times now, often with friends or family. We all really like it. This is some of the best "light" Chinese food in SF, and we've tried a lot of places. It compares to Alice's, Eliza's and Eric's - super fresh with great, non-oily sauces and nice presentation. Try the Red Dumplings and the Ginger Eggplant Chicken. The service is prompt and courteous, and street parking is quite easy. My only (minor) complaint is they don't have brown rice as an option. Anyway, go there and enjoy! Pros: food, service, not crowded Cons: no highchairs more

The food is ok, but their service is horrible. They havent a clue what customer service is, barely know their own menu, and I guess dont care about losing good customers.......which I cant believe, because the place isnt exactly booming....I will never eat there again. They don't give a cr@$p about their customers.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! more

Kathy's has spoiled us for any other Chinese food. The food is freshly and expertly prepared with delicate sauces. The Walnut Shrimp are the best I have ever eaten. Everyone I take there becomes a regular customer. The decor is very tasteful and pleasant. more
