One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area, amazing authentic Cantonese dishes at very reasonable prices. You know it's a legit Chinese restaurant when 90%+ of the diners are Chinese - no frills no BS kind of place. Lots of regulars come here for both dim sum and dinners. Tonight we ordered a set menu and added a few more dishes - everything was spot on. Service was very attentive, they kept offering to switch our new plates and helped transfer dishes into smaller plates once the table piled up. Also, free corkage! Stand outs for me were the surf clams with vermicelli and lots of other seafood, sautéed seafood delight, and the stuffed chicken rice dish (call to pre order a day in advance). I've come here many times with friends for wine shares, baijiu shares, whiskey shares. The owners and staff are so friendly especially when you come back often and they begin to recognize you. But still make sure to make reservations - gets packed quite often!

Came here for dinner with family! We ordered a bunch of food and had an amazing feast! My favorite was their lobster dish, it was so fresh and yummy. Some dishes we ordered: Conch and Chicken feet soup Steamed Fish Steamed Chicken Steamed clams with vermicelli Chinese style beef Eggplant stew Lobster dish Lotus root with mixed vegetables Stir fry green beans

Food is wonderful, reliable chinese dishes as you expect and have come to love. big menu, typical. can make reservations by phone ahead of time. walk in available too. but if you have a large group def just be safe and reserve because why play dangerously when it comes to mealtime. especially on holidays this place will be packed with families for christmas, mother's day, etc. plan ahead. dim sum available in morning, very packed on weekends. come early or come late for less crowd. they serve dessert complimentary after your meal, such as red bean soup or others. it rotates. parking is not hard. street parking.

Classic Cantonese Cuisine served via multiple courses banquet-style on a lazy Susan.. Pretty good service for a Chinese restaurant, Bright interior, and busy crowds, especially on weekend nights. It's almost as if this was the Chinese-American equivalent of "Original Joe's" for many of us in San Francisco! Riverside Seafood has been around for nearly 20 years now, but their food nowadays to us is our favorite pick for Cantonese-style cuisine whether it is for a fancy multi course dinner, a casual midweek to-go offering, or dim sum in the mornings. The food here is consistently good, even during the pandemic, and now, they seem to be at the top of their game. Our favorites here begin with the Beijing style spareribs - kind of an orange-infused glaze on that.. YUM.. The Lobster is always fresh here, and we have it over noodles, Beef, chicken and veggie choices are quite good as well, served with delicious sauces on most offerings. Kinda hard to go wrong here.. at least for us! =) Count us in as regulars here!

Food is a solid 4/5 for everything. The missing 5 star would be the quality. Service is usually pretty quick. Although on the weekends if you don't arrive at the right time, there will be a long wait or you won't get much service as their attention is divided up. Very casual family restaurant, so you can expect noise and clattering. I personally like their beef noodle roll, chicken feet, and the steamed spareribs. I have tried the steamed soup dumpling (xiao long bao) but I think the wrapping is too thick so it doesn't taste as good.

Wow! You can never go wrong with this restaurant for dim sum lunch or dinner. The 12 of us had dinner on a Wednesday evening. Make sure to bring your wines as there is no corkage fee! Instead of ordering a prefix dinner, we opted for 10 dishes with no regrets. The food came out fast! We ordered all our favorites and everything was really good. 2 orders hung tao Yee foo Won ton soup 2 Orders spicy salt chicken wings - yummy! Cooked to perfection. Clams and black bean sauce Crispy Taro duck - an excellent must get dish!! Pork hash with salted egg - need more eggs! Tomato beef curry geen mein - needs more tomato Sliced pork belly with preserved veggies - pork a little fatty tonight n Pea shoots and garlic Filet of cod with black bean sauce. Diced chicken and salted fish fried rice. This dinner fed 12 of us with leftovers. It came out to $284 and they gave us complimentary warm dessert of taro and tiny boba pearl. $24 per person! We will be back!

My mom's favorite Chinese restaurant in the city (at least currently - growing up it used to be Eight Immortals on Taraval - I'm sad it's no longer the same...). Whenever I go home for a visit, there's always ONE night reserved for a family dinner at Riverside. There's only street parking (not a surprise since it's SF), but there's NO issue find a spot and the area is relatively safe. The restaurant is no frills and homey - and you know it's legit and good when the restaurant is full on a random Wednesday night on a quiet neighborhood block. My mom usually orders and the dishes can vary depending on what she feels like, but she ALWAYS orders the giant scallop/clam thing with vermicelli. Very meaty, large portions. Pricey, but good. Definitely solid Chinese food - sometimes they are a bit heavy handed on the seasoning (not super consistent), but overall still good.
