    Harborview in SF is very, very, very high quality. I eat a lot of different kinds of Chinese food in San Francisco and the place is expensive but the quality makes it worth the splurge. Also, Harborview is a nice ratio of almost completely traditional, conservative menu but with slight nouvelle touches.

Jade Chocolate ( Fine Chocolate blended with Asian and Pacific Island spices ) also does a very interesting afternoon tea with a rotating menu. Sotto Mare, Colibri, L'ardoise, Poc Chuc, Fina Estampa, Brenda's French Soulfood and Tu Lan are also distinctive places, part of the kaleidoscope of San Francisco you might want to consider.

    He also said if he doesn't like a place, he just doesn't include them in the video. This is called survivorship bias. He's got no problem negatively reviewing a big chain restaurant, but he's not about to damage someone's reputation due to his own opinion. Maybe keep that in mind when you see some youtuber denigrating someone's food. It's their own personal opinion, and they could have just simply not included it in the video. Makes it seem like they're clout goblins, desperate for as much content as they can get. No content creator is truly a "professional food critic".
