China Live is a large modern restaurant in San Francisco’s Chinatown District. I really liked the food and atmosphere.

We arrived without a reservation, but they had seats at the bar.

A glass of Sangiovese was $13.

Shrimp and Scallop Siu Mai $18.

Red Seafood dumpling $16.

The place was huge and busy.

The last time I visited San Francisco, we went to a more traditional Chinese restaurant called House of Nanking – not geographically far from China Live, but a completely different experience.

I can’t decide which I prefer – probably China Live just because I love dim sum (potstickers).
