I always recommend that visitors come to this neighborhood. It is not kitsch, it is a real neighborhood where people live and work and shop. Of course lots of good food and some unique shopping. B…Full review by Thomas V

An interesting experience, a unique place. It is quite busy and packed. There are a large number of souvenir stores greeting us at the entrance and it gets more authentic as you walk deeper into this…Full review by Bogi F

Parking is difficult EVERYWHERE and expensive most places. If you are going to be there a few days get the 3 day MUNI passports. They are great for getting to most places in San Francisco. For sure way cheaper than parking several places a day. If you have not committed to a hotel the Cow Hollow Inn and Suites are great and have free underground parking. That was what we opted for after tabulating costs elsewhere and parking. Lots of breakfast nooks and we got the 2 bedroom suite which was very spacious had 1 queen and 2 double and a couch. Not sure of kids ages. They also have a full kitchen with microwave. Good luck. We only had 3 days wish we had more. Lots of decent free things to do also.
Anyone know where to park in china town? Thank you.

Street parking for 1-2hrs is available on a few of the nearby streets. I would recommend using Parkopedia or SpotHero though to book one of the hundreds of “valet” parking spots in the nearby area, we did this and found it easy and reasonable value for a 24hr period.

I would like to take my sister in law to an authentic, cart style dim sum restaurant on our trip 1-5 July. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Janesmom

Hi I’m sorry we never had dim sum there but there are plenty of restaurants. I’m sure u will find out once ur there as everyone is friendly or ask ur hotel concierge. Enjoy
Traveling to SF on 5/11-5/12/18, with my daughter. Planning on Alcatraz tour during the day on Saturday and dinner in China Town Sat evening. 3 questions: 1) Any suggestions for an authentic Chinese restaurant to have Dim Sum? 2) Are reservations recommended? & 3) any safety concerns other than the usual for women travelers in large cities? Thanks!
