- JJennaLas Vegas •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoI love a restaurant that has front of house service with such aggressive attention to detail. My napkin dropped on the floor it was immediately picked up and changed out. Cutlery is brought to your table warm. My water glass never was more than half way empty before it was filled. Exceptional service. Also the food was phenomenal.More infoWayfare TavernPrice: Moderate• American• Financial District / Embarcadero•4.6

A hilly enclave dotted with red lanterns and bright storefronts, Chinatown is a richly authentic place that hums with energy. Every year, the district attracts more visitors than the Golden Gate Bridge. Some of the best-loved foods include the cash-only dim sum spots, famous egg tarts from the Golden Gate Bakery, and banquet-style dining halls that serve traditional Cantonese cuisine.
