Staff were friendly and were able to immediately seat us. Prices are on the higher side for sure as compared to the night market. Average prices were around $15 to $18 per dish. Our saute garlic string beans were excellent, and everything else was satisfactory. This is a solid place if you want something quick and nothing over the top.

We were immediately greeted upon walking in and were seated right away. The menu had a decent choices with dim sum dishes plus noodles and soup. I loved they have dim sum and other dishes for those who prefer non dim sum items. The gentleman that took our order was friendly and gave us a few recommendations. I love that he reminded us to order vegetables, which our family loved, thank you! All of our dishes were served promptly, fresh and hot. We loved all the dishes and left no food behind. I would recommend this place if you are in the mood for some Chinese food with dim sum options.

Though people were sitting at different tables, they were all talking to each other. We asked if they were open and a person at one of the tables gestured to a table next to him and told us to sit down. (I still have no idea if they worked there or not.) Listen, it's no frills and all the people eating at that moment were Chinese. We were the only non-Chinese and honestly, I felt really good about our chances of eating good dim sum here. We ordered: Soup dumplings Sticky chicken rice BBQ pork buns Deep fried sesame balls Steam shrimp dumplings Steamed siu mai There were 3 of us and we left with full bellies for $41, including tip. What?! That's amazing. I am still not sure if we were among staff, fellow shop owners and/or neighbors. It felt like we were at a family lunch and I'm not mad about it. Oh! And our efficient waitress gave us a complimentary dessert. Not sure what it was, like a rice jelly? My kids paid it the greatest Asian compliment-"It's not too sweet!" It was a very comfortable environment, the food came out relatively fast, all was delicious, and our bill came well under $50. Would absolutely return.

We were at a show in the North Beach neighborhood that got out late and we were hungry and needed…read moresomething to eat before heading home, so we ventured into Chinatown for some late night food. Surprisingly, many restaurants weren't open past 9pm, but we found Grant Place restaurant open until 11pm and decided to give it a try. There are so many options for Chinese food in this neighborhood, but it being late, we could only find this restaurant open to serve us dinner. We were waived in by the nice lady cutting meat at the front counter, and we were seated quickly, given menus, and served hot tea. This is what I love about typical Chinese restaurants, its fast service, and efficiency. No pomp & circumstance, wait time, chit-chat, confusion, or dilly-dallying, just sit down, order, eat, and leave. The waiters here were very friendly and efficient, despite us being the final customers of the night. We never felt rushed, ignored, or scorned for being the final customers, we were welcomed & served as if we were the first customers for the dinner period. Everything felt comfortable, welcoming, friendly, and warm. The menu looked pretty basic, but good and offered us some vegetarian options (as well as spicy ones) to satisfy our cravings & interests. The restaurant was empty, but everything seemed clean & organized. A few waiters remained around, doing closing duties such as cleaning, re-stocking, prepping for the next day, and attending to the remaining/departing customers, yet we were still given attention & good service. Rare to find a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown with good, non-rushed, friendly service, so this was a plus. I even practiced some of my poor Cantonese language skills with our waiter, and he took the time out of his long day & closing duties to engage with me. Nice people here. The food was pretty good and served on the slow side, since we were the last customers, but it wasn't that long of a wait. We ordered the salt & pepper fried tofu, spicy green beans, and some rice. Everything was delicious, fresh, hot, and well-prepared. Generous portions & good flavors with just enough seasoning & spice so that we did not have to use condiments or additional flavorings. I'd like to come back here to try more dishes, and we intend to when we come back to the area. Grant Place restaurant offers later dining hours in a clean environment, friendly & efficient service, generous portions, and good authentic Cantonese & Sichauan Chinese food at affordable prices. It is what you'd expect of a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, minus the grumpy & mean staff and dirty conditions. It felt like a nice family-run Chinese restaurant that was happy to have our business (despite our being there during closing time). We never felt rushed, unappreciated, neglected, or penalized for our presence. Plus, they served us good food at affordable prices at a late hour with smiles on their faces, and some fun friendly interaction before our departure. This is a good restaurant, and I will definitely be back to support them. We found a good one, purely by accident, and we appreciated & enjoyed the experience!

Walking in San Francisco it changes from block to block especially in the downtown area . Walk…read morethrough San Francisco Tenderloin you will see whole a lot traffic in every direction whether on the road or on the sidewalk. You will also see different types of hotels which range from one star to five stars. It's a melting pot of San Francisco locals and tourist visiting the city from all around the world. There are new visitors and some visitors who been here a few times. In the cusp of the Michelin star restaurants and fine dining establishments and five star hotels there is a place which also borders one week stay hotels and SRO's ( Single Resident Occupancy) and lots of whole in the wall and mom and pops restaurants. This business is in the intersection of new San Francisco and old San Francisco and it's located on Ellis street and Mason. It's called Old Siam Thai Restaurant. On a Spring stroll between the Tenderloin and the Downtown Union Square hotels such as the Hotel Nikko and Hilton Hotel which has a 46th floor aerial view of San Francisco I landed at Old Siam Thai Restaurant. When it comes to Southeast Asian cuisines the Tenderloin has it on lock . In San Francisco there is no better place to get food from Southeast Asia. There is Kin Khao and Bodega and there just less than block away from Old Siam Thai Restaurant. Inside Old Siam you will be transported to an old San Francisco feel and decor. There are hella Thai dishes on the menu like the Old Siam fried chicken and crab fried rice . When ordering I decided to stick to my Thai staples. I got the chicken yellow curry and it was savory not too spicy and had a good flavor next I decided on the Tom Kha soup with chicken and mushrooms. The taste of the broth was refreshing and not overwhelming. The Goong Hom Par also known as shrimp rolls which was okay but dipped in the sauce and it woke up my taste buds. Overall a good casual place to get some original San Francisco Thai food in the crossroads of the Tenderloin and Union Square. On a Spring stroll in SF the season of "Aries the Ram " to a place where in the Tenderloin blocks are filled with people on the sidewalks who don't give a "damn "I enjoy this place for Thai food personally it's my "jam "in San Francisco and the restaurant located on Ellis street and is called "Old Siam" The pace of the streets in San Francisco can be laid back but some like to hustle and always in a "hurry" on these streets you can see Wild Things but it's not the movie with Neve Campbell , Denise Richard and "Bill Murray" just go to Old Siam the place to get enjoy some garlic spaghetti, and a bowl of "curry" inside is the place where you can relax and not be a worrier so be happy and don't "worry"
