SF Food Suggestions

Chinatown is fun for the spectacle, but the best Chinese food in SF is not in Chinatown. If you're actually interested in Chinese (or really any East/Southeast Asian cuisine), head to the western side of town.

Yep, Clement Street has a ton of great options - Chinese and Dim sum.

Clement Street is awesome ... I lived in the Inner Richmond for many years and it is one of my favorite parts of the city to experience as a local. Still, I don't know that I would recommend including it as a stop for a family with teens on a 2-day trip, especially because they're staying on the other side of the city. (Similarly, I also don't understand people who need to rush to tell the poster that real SF people take Muni. I mean, sure? But they're tourists and they want to take a cable car. Cable cars are fun and iconic. Take a cable car! Enjoy.)

Back to food recommendations: If you want dim sum closer to where you're staying, try Palette Tea House.

One fun thing to check out in Fisherman's Wharf is Musee Mechanique (SF purists might note that it used to be located in the Outer Richmond but relocated a while back). Quirky little penny arcade, your teens might get a kick out of it.
