SF · Chinatown · Date night
Chinatown date night in this directory has two clocks and two rooms this check did not open. Four Kings is a noon OpenTable drop. Mister Jiu’s prints 10am Pacific on its own site.
Difficulty on this page is a Midnight Table estimate, not official Resy or OpenTable data, and not a guarantee of a table. Booking notes were checked on the date under each restaurant. A restaurant can change the window after that.
Alerts is $12 a month and watches the drop. Concierge books in your name, on the restaurant's own platform. Membership and pricing. The Guestlist is the free weekly letter.
