(I could be a slogan writer)
Any chain Chinese restaurant can make chicken chow mien or beef broccoli, but none of them order for you like the House of Nanking, I went there and shoveled the food like I was in the military and didn't have another second. After eating so much and leaving I thought I couldn't eat at another Chinese restaurant again and I didn't not for almost 4 months.
Yes its a little dirty with the mass of people in and out you dont have time to clean everything when people are hungry, yes they order for you its part of the excitement and shock if you have never been, and if there is a line out the door it means the food is damn good and if you leave your missing out on something special.. people need to understand this is a gold mine in the middle of San Francisco...
the truth is you either love it or hate it but it is a food place and thats what I go there to do is eat. So i could careless if there is a little dirt on the ground or crowded at least I'm not eating out of a garbage can.
Pros: Everything
Cons: the idiots who don't appreciate a mom-and-pop restaurant !

The food here is as authentic as it gets in San Francisco. It resembles Chinese home style cooking. I tend to order the same items each time I dine here, that is, fried crab, pan fried ground pork with preserved fish, large bean sprouts, and steamed fished filet with chinese ham. It's always packed. Make sure you make reservations before you go.

Everyone says to try the dry fried chicken, but that was not my favorite. Cherry Pork is the dish to try. It has cherry and ginger and the texture is perfect. We tried it on a lark and were pleasantly surprised. The dumplings and potstickers were excellent. We had peanut noodles as well which were delicious.
The prices are unbelievable, $8-$10 for a lot of dishes. They have lots of group seating with big tables and lazy susans. The place is PACKED, so be ready for a wait. We waited about 20 minutes on a Sunday night. Also, the clientele is almost entirely Chinese, which I always take as a good sign that the food is authentic.
Pros: Delicious, inexpensive, Fast
Cons: They try to rush you out a little bit, but only because there's always someone waiting to get in behind you

My brother-in-law took us here during a recent trip from NYC and the food was absolutely delicious! The pan Asian noodles were fabulous and not heavy - they claim that they aim to satisfy their noodle obsession while substituting oils with citrus juices. I had an incredible cold spicy lime coconut soba noodle salad with veggies and chicken and a slushy lemonade. Mmmm... ! Nice, sleek urban noodlehouse ambiance. Inexpensive. Great service. We were able to hang out here for a long time after we finished our lunch w/ no problems. Had to recommend this place to others, it's a fabulous find in a cool neighborhood!
Pros: FOOD, location
Cons: A bit small

I live on potrero hill, but I don't go here for its convenience. I go to Eliza's for the food! Even when you order takeout it is ready within 20 minutes! And for those of you that thing the servers are rude, I don't know what you're talking about. If you're taking the fact that some of them were not born in the United States and can't speak perfect english as rudeness, then there is something wrong with you not them. I know the owners and they are amazing, I even met their daughter who the restaurant is named after! Their mongolian beef cannot be beat and if you complain about price, go for lunch its cheaper you cheapskates. The food always comes fast, and for those that called the waitstaff strange...good job being judgmental and close minded. Since when was food based solely on the people who bring it to you?? I love this place!
Pros: Best food, reasonable prices, fast service.
Cons: Gets busy, parking.

This previous diner obviously had a bad day...I have been there many many times and it is always good. Being Chinese, I know my food and i love wine so like anywhere, you need to know what to order. Ask the servers and they wil guide you to the signature dishes...The SF Chronicle named it one of the "Top 100 Restaurants" in the BayArea and gave it *** so how bad can it be. The live jazz is free and I even saw Stevie Wonder play there one night a few years back for free and he just jumped on the piano and played for almost two hours...mind blowing experience!
Pros: Great overall experience
Cons: parking is a pain

Hosted a dinner for 26 people last Thursday. Staff was very helpful leading up to event. Chose the Signature menu and various wines. Staff/wine was ready when guests arrived. Service was prompt, attentive, but not intrusive. Food is outstanding. Some of the finest presentation ever. Perfectly prepared and delivered at right temperature and preparation. Price is reasonable for the amount of food provided and quality. Not small plate type experience, but you won't feel like you just ate a 64 oz porterhouse either. Never felt rushed throughout the evening and felt like we were the most important guests in the restaurant. Second time hosting groups but this was largest. Will always return for the experience. Ambience is first class as well!
