Dragon River Restaurant — Restaurant in San Francisco

Unfortunately our experience was not good for dinner. We have been coming here for a long time and were so looking forward to it. But they have serious issues.

The service was erratic. The restaurant wasn't busy but it took way too long for someone to take our order. There was a young male server who obviously did not want to be there and walked around like a zombie. There was an older lady who was very nice, but she was absent most of our meal.

Our dishes came out in a random order and they even forgot several dishes. This made for a terrible experience.

Then the food was not good. The quality and portion size was subpar for the prices. Honestly, the portions were visibly smaller! .

The entrées was had were bland. The vegetables were undercooked.

I was so disappointed. This place used to be known for its Hakkian cuisine, the few in the Richmond. But now, it's fallen off and I can't recommend it anymore. This is one of the more painful reviews I've had to give. Hopefully they improve. But until then, we will take our...

February 2024: Enjoyed a family dinner on a Thursday night. We pre-ordered the chicken stuffed with sticky rice. This dish is quite enjoyable because it's fried chicken stuffed with sticky rice that has a lot of delicious ingredients mixed in. This place did a good job.

Peking Duck was excellent. The skin was very crispy 😋. Fish fillet with asparagus was a Big hit too. Simple and cooked perfectly.

The white chicken with ginger sauce was another good dish.

Everything was tasty 😋. We ordered the pork belly taro clay pot dish that is an old time favorite and hard to find nowadays. Everyone enjoyed that too.

Overall, had a nice family dinner to celebrate...

Huge menu, big portions, reasonable prices, and the food is great. I've found it hard to find good salt-and-pepper tofu in the Bay Area so it was great to find that this place makes it very well. The tea they served was also a good one, a jasmine oolong

The one flaw I'll point out is that the dishes came pretty far apart time-wise. The first two were pretty fast and then the last two came out way later, after we had finished the first two

Overall, the menu, portions, prices, and food quality...
