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

This is pretty average. There are many people and the area is lively. The businesses sell well and people are happy. Some of the buildings are dated but it is cool because some buildings are part of …Full review by Jayden W

Don’t bother. It’s very nothing much. Full of souvenir shops and few old restaurants. The food doesn’t taste authentic like how it’s used to be. I noticed the services in most businesses are not up t…Full review by SydneAustralia

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!

All the restaurants in China town that we ate it had dim sum. I can't recommend a specific restaurant because we tried so many & all were great. We just walked into each one with no reservations. There were a high volume of police everywhere we looked and we did not feel "unsafe" anywhere we went. Of course this could change with the time of day/which day you are there. Good luck
