Geary boulevard in the richmond has some of the best asian restaurants in the city but tourists never make it out here. It's where locals go for dim sum, pho, and regional chinese dishes you won't find downtown.

Ton kiang for dim sum is consistently excellent and way less crowded than chinatown spots. The whole strip has vietnamese, thai, burmese, and regional chinese places that feel like neighborhood joints, not tourist destinations. Some of these places will legitimately burn your mouth off if you ask for extra spicy - fair warning.
