    One off the last banquet halls in SF Chinatown. Authentic old world decor and charm. Cantonese food with a large menu. Used for weddings, baby parties and community events. Room for dancing and entertainment upstairs. Food is authentic for banquet meals and also good for everyday meals. Sorry no photos.

    I ventured into Far East Cafe while visiting Chinatown for the first time and was impressed by the friendly host server. Water and tea was quickly available. I eventually ordered the Imperial Seafood Soup and Fried Prawns. The soup arrived in a short time and I was shocked at the large bowl. VERY FLAVORFUL and nourishing. The fried prawns were good to close out my meal with. The restaurant featured vintage Chinese art and decor that dates back to its long tenure in Chinatown. My only regret is that I didn't photograph the food for this review. Highly recommended!!!!!!!
