General Tso Kitchen, in San Francisco

Last night (4/8/18) we returned to General Tso's Kitchen, and got some new dishes. Above: Wild Black Fungus w/Cucumber. Practically identical to Smashed Cucumber with Wood Ear Mushrooms.

Pork Shrimp Chive Dumplings, thinner skinned than the dumplings we got here previously.

Wuhan-style Sesame Noodle.

Above & below: Hubei Lotus Roots--deep fried, stuffed with pork. Perhaps needless to say, everything was superb.

Chinese Eggplant in Spicy Garlic Sauce at General Tso Kitchen.

We were saddened by the news that San Dong Best, the Chinese restaurant that was in this spot near 2nd & Arguello on Geary, had closed. Although we thought the name of the new place, General Tso Kitchen, might mean this new spot would feature Americanized Chinese food, our fear were put to rest when we saw they feature things like Wuhan Duck. Sure enough, General Tso seems to be doing everything San Dong Best was doing right, and more.

Always a good sign when the chiles in the oil are this dark, in my humble opinion.

Above and below: Wuhan-style Duck Neck. Don't be put off because this is variety meat. Look closely, it is marinated with Chinese spices, and definitely has a spicy kick. Eat them like corn on the cob! Very tender!

Here's that Chinese Eggplant--but also there are red bells and wood ear mushrooms. This dish is elegant and majestic. Spicy but not too much, more garlic in the brown sauce. Vegetables cooked to perfection, the sauce imbued throughout.

Lamb & Zucchini Dumplings. Clearly hand-made, each with the filling rolled into a ball (generally, meat and a vegetable), with a bit of oil, in this case Sesame oil.
