For great Chinese food, walk around San Francisco's Chinatown area--there are hundreds of really great cute little inexpensive restaurants. The best thing to do in Chinatown is go with a group and get dim sum, which is basically like a bunch of different little appetizers you choose off a menu (or a passing platter). They are all good and most are very inexpensive, and you can pretty much go to any restaurant in Chinatown to get it--they all offer it and it is good in all of them. Just walk around and wait for someone to hand you one of the many menus that feature dim sum. I definitely highly recommend you go there and try it.
