Have never eaten at the Central location. I have eaten at the Montgomery location 3 times now. The first time was within the first 3 weeks of their opening and it was exceptional. Service made you feel welcome and the food's flavor "burst" in my mouth. The second visit was several weeks later and the food's flavor was okay but didn't "wow" me like the first visit and the service was okay but not as good as my first visit. After several more weeks I thought maybe it was my imagination that the second visit wasn't as good so I tried a third time. Now I am certain the food wasn't as good as the first visit and the person taking orders and giving the first impression of the restaurant (Ryan) was rude and miserable! He obviously didn't want to be there that day and really made the overall experience terrible. I have to assume that cooks/chefs and some wait staff from the Central location (original location) were working at the Montgomery location the first several weeks and then went back to Central afterwards? It's offical, I'll never go back to the Montgomery location but if in the mood for Asian cuisine, I'll give the Nob Hill location a try but am not really not fond of the Nob Hill area/experience so I certainly won't frequent the Nob Hill location as often as I would have the Montgomery location. I'd say skip Montgomery and go to the Central location if you want the best food flavor and service. I'm hoping when I get over there the flavor of the food and service will be what I experienced on my first visit to Fan Tang...

Read moreUnique take on Asian cuisine!
Fan Tang may be a fast food restaurant, but the food is simply amazing! Great renditions of old favorites such as General Tso’s and Kung Pao but with a little something extra. My wife and I had lunch and we had our socks knocked off!
First off, the service is fabulous. We were taken care of by Owen, who is a treasure! He was able to explain our menu options and make suggestions. In addition to his dedication to service, he was very engaging and friendly. Don’t get me wrong, everyone who works there is very professional, but Owen is in the top ten!
It’s hard to explain how Fan Tang serves such a distinctive menu, but let me select one of the dishes we enjoyed, the Coffee Chicken. From the taste, there is obviously some coffee in the dish, but the other flavors meld so well in this dish, it transcended Asian food experience. Get the Coffee Chicken, you will not be disappointed!
The location is in an old Blake’s. It’s not a huge space, but the space is used well. Comfortable dining with a nice busy...
