everything in chinatown is a tourist trap, avoid it like the plague. theres only one place in chinatown worth your money, Sam Wo s on washington street http://dinesite.com/info/rstrnt-290094/but i always go to this place on 45th and balboa in the richmond, i forget the name, but its worth the trip from wherever you are in the city.
Yank Sing is good, high-end food and they have a few locations around SF.Brandy Ho s hunan restaurant near Colombus Broadway is quite good. A lot of food snobs will rip on it for not being authentic enough for them but that doesn t matter: it s good.Tian Sing on O Farrell (I think), next to the Mandarin Oriental hotel, is really good.

Head to Chinatown. You ll find all the best Chinese food there. I recommend the Eliza s on 18th St.
Good suggestions above. Just wanted to throw in my favorite for Hunan and Mandarin: Eric s, 1500 Church Street in Noe Valley. http://erics.ypguides.net/
