R&G Lounge, established in 1985, is a celebrated Chinese restaurant in San Francisco that has become an iconic symbol of Chinese heritage and culinary excellence. An updated interpretation of what R&G stands for, "Roots & Generations," reflects its mission to honor the roots of Chinese culinary traditions while passing it on many generations. Over the past 40 years, R&G Lounge has grown from a humble single-story establishment to a renowned three-story destination, earning worldwide acclaim for its authentic cuisine and exceptional service.

The restaurant’s menu boasts over 150 dishes, including signature offerings such as Salt & Pepper Live Crab, R&G Special Beef, and Lychee Martinis. Guided by the Five Elements Theory, the kitchen harmonizes recipes, techniques, high quality ingredients, history, and memories to create a dining experience that is both authentic and unforgettable.

R&G Lounge is more than a restaurant; it’s a place where generations have come together to celebrate milestones, from grandparents to parents, to their children, and now even their grandchildren. Deeply rooted in the Chinatown community, R&G actively supports events and charities, employs local residents, and sources ingredients from local vendors. Its unwavering commitment to tradition, quality, and community has humbly earned its worldwide recognition.
