Grant Place: Popular Place, Fast Service, Relatively Cheap Duck

Next to the East-West Bank that used to be the Chinatown Phone Exchange is Grant Place, a Cantonese restaurant that also serves duck and dimsum, among other things. Despite the name, it's actually on Washington, not Grant. And it's been there since 1994.

While usually not full, it enjoys a steady stream of business so it maintains a certain quality and fast service. And they can provide a pretty diverse menu, including duck. Keep in mind that while it's called Peking Duck on the menu, it's technically Cantonese Duck.

They can also do the typical fried rice (chow fun), fried noodles (chow mien), porridge, and so on. And they can accommodate fairly big groups of a dozen people or more at almost anytime.

They are also very close to Portsmouth Square. And they are open for long hours, from 8A to 9P every day. Before COVID they used to run 24 hours a day.

If you do walk by the area, and need a quick lunch or dinner, it's not a bad choice if you want a bit of everything. But for Dimsum, I'd walk up to House of Dimsum.

Look Tin Eli: The Revitalizer of Chinatown After 1906 Earthquake and Fire

Look Tin Eli is not a popular name unless you study Chinese-American history. Yet arguably, his greatest contribution was how he became the chief negotiator for the rebuilding of Chinatown after the 1906 Earthquake and fire, and can be considered the father of all modern Chinatowns. Early Life Look Tin Eli (aka Look Tin Sing) was born in Mendocino, California, in 1870 to Luk Bing-Tai (known locally as Eli Tia Key) and Su Wong. Luk the elder originally worked as a cook for the local magnate upon arrival, but was able to raise enough money to open a general store in town. Luk the elder's bride is actually Native American, but raised by a Chinese American family. The couple had four children: 3 sons and 1 daughter including Look Tin Eli. The elder Luk decided that all of his sons needed a proper Chinese education, so he sent each of his sons back to China at the age of 9. Look Tin Eli left in 1879. The decision was likely based on the fact that back then Chinese Americans are not all

Origin of Chinese Laundry: How Chinese-Americans Turned Discrimination Into Opportunity

One of the oddities during the Gold Rush years of San Francisco was the extreme imbalance between males and females. It is believed the ratio was like 20 to 1. And remember, back in the 1800s, men do NOT do laundry... It was supposed to be women's work or domestic servant's work. Most men don't even know how to do laundry. Not to mention two buckets of fresh water would cost a quarter. This resulted in some very odd pricing, such as the cost of laundering a dozen shirts being $8-12 dollars, due to very few women available to do the laundry. A few men will try, but give up after a while after they either destroyed the shirts or lost all the buttons. The situation was bad enough, laundry was sent across the ocean to be laundered. A ship can carry back several hundred dozen pieces of laundry . Hawaii, seeing an opportunity, started to offer $6 per dozen washes and a much faster turnaround. Some folks in Chinatown recognized the profit potential, being close to the port and

So What Exactly Are the Tongs of Chinatown?

The Tongs of Chinatown started off as an attempt to do good, but ended up corrupted by greed and turned into a term of evil. But what are they really? Tong 堂 literally means the main room or a hall. It could be termed an "association", and they still exist today in San Francisco Chinatown. Hop Sing Tong, or 合勝縂堂 (lit: united victory main hall) photo courtesy of Wikipedia / Wikicommons The Tongs started as immigrant associations serving people with common former residency, common dialect, or common ancestry. The tongs will help people fresh off the boast to adapt to the new culture. If you can find a tong that is affiliated with your village or your clan or speak your dialect, you will be welcomed. You will be given a bed for the night, then help to find a job, and find proper housing. The tongs also offered both physical and legal protection. By 1854, the Chinese have been ruled to have no right to participate in the court system . In People vs. Hall, a Chinese witness
