R&G Lounge
The Verdict
"The salt and pepper crab is what to order. Bring four people so you can get it plus three or four other dishes family-style. The downstairs room has tablecloths, the upstairs has energy. Same kitchen."
What you need to know
R&G stands for Rich and Glorious.
What to Order
Salt and Pepper Crab: The reason to come. Whole Dungeness, market price, messy, worth the work.
Peking Duck: Order in advance. Multiple courses, lacquered crispy skin.
Special Beef: Tender beef in a savory sauce. House standard.
Steamed Live Fish: If it’s available, order it. Cantonese steamed fish is a test, and R&G knows how to do it.
The Space
Two floors. The main level is bright and busy with Chinese families at large round tables and fast-moving servers. The other floor is quieter and more formal. Same kitchen.
Practical Info
Price: $$ to $$$. Crab is market price.
Address: 631 Kearny Street
Reservations: Recommended on weekends
Tip: Bring a group so you can order family-style and try more of the menu
