Ton Kiang

$-$$, Chinese, Richmond

User Rating: **** 4.4

Fodor's Review:

Ton Kiang. This restaurant introduced the lightly seasoned Hakka cuisine of southern China, rarely found in this country and even obscure to many Chinese. Salt-baked chicken, stuffed bean curd, steamed fresh bacon with dried mustard greens, chicken in wine sauce, and clay pots of meats and seafood are among the hallmarks of the Hakka kitchen, and all of them are done well here, as the tables packed with local Chinese families and others prove. Don't overlook the excellent seafood offerings like salt-and-pepper shrimp, catfish in black bean sauce, or stir-fried crab, for example. Some of the finest dim sum in the city brings in the noontime rush (a small selection is available at night, too).

Great dim sum...

Posted by Stephanie from San Diego on 1/14/06

We finished our trip to S.F. with dim sum at Ton Kiang. The food here is really great. It's served differently than what I am used to (no carts), but is definitely better. The girls here carry trays of dim sum to your table and even ask you if you want to order anything that hasn't passed by you yet. The food here is fresh and delicious. This is better than average dim sum at reasonable prices and the best part about it is that parking is pretty stress free on this part of Geary (a definite rarity). Also for people that are not familiar with dim sum, this place has a little mini menu on the table that has descriptions of all of the food which can be really helpful.
