If you're curious about a gourmet Chinese restaurant, try Michelin-starred chef Ho Chee Boon's table in Chinatown.
If you're interested in discovering a gourmet Chinese restaurant, head for Empress by Boon, starred chef Ho Chee Boon's table of revisited Cantonese specialties. After passing through a large, richly carved doorway, the 6th floor features a series of alcoves separated by chiselled black wood panels. The view over San Francisco is extraordinary, and the 7-course tasting menu is to die for. We particularly loved the shimeji mushroom dumpling with Burgundy truffle and the ultra-melting grilled Alaskan cod.

After a wait of 10-15 min we were escorted to the back room and seated at a table with no view whatsoever. This room appeared to be a private party room and was used as a make shift dining room for overflow customers. At the seating I requested that we would rather wait and get a better seating but was told this is not possible. We felt like being treated as second class citizens. The seating was plain tables with damaged edges. No linen or table cloth. The food is over rated for the fixed menu price of $158 which normally was at $108. Dumplings, Cod, and New England Lobster was tasty and well presented. Passion fruit cheesecake was more like a mouse or less baked cheese lump wrapped in passion fruit cup. The service was slow with little attention.
The menu said there will be gratutity of 22% will be added for party of 5 or more. We were party of 4 but the bill had gratutity added. Upon confronting with the server, we were told for New Years Eve it was compulsory for all.
Above all, Waste of money. I would not go to this place again and certainly not recommend any one to do so. my 2 cents
