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

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

Sorry - did not visit a dim sum restaurant while in Chinatown.
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!

Alcatraz and China Town are good choices. Sorry, but we didn’t eat in China Town this last time so I don’t have a recommended restaurant. I was there in January and my female travel companion and I were perfectly comfortable walking at night. We stayed just outside China Town.
