Restaurant #7: Kan's


September 1, 2005. I'm joined by Gabrielle T., currently freelancing nearby. We mosey down Grant, past some great signage.
Determined to eat at the first place which I had not yet eaten at (except for Sabra and The Far East), we happened upon Kan's - nestled at 708 Grant, between Sacramento & Clay. We surely would have passed it, had it not been for the friendly urging of the woman stationed outside. I could not bring myself to photograph her, but I did snap a picture of her streetside podium.

(Note, before dining, Gabrielle found a wonderfully quaint Chinese machine that spits out 20 dollar bills!)

Up the stairs and inside, we were seated by the balcony in a large, spacious, clean-smelling hall.

The dim sum came at rapid pace. Anglo-Saxon businesspeople casually dined and discussed million-dollar deals over tea and savory Nests of Flavor.

Over all, it is a fine place to eat lunch. Many dishes featured shrimp, and some, pork. It cost $20 for the both of us. Um...I can't think of more restaurant stuff...There's an nifty-looking bar, too. I really need to do more drinking.

Comments:
There was also a lovely balcony that provided a view of the bustling chinatown street below. Thanks for a great lunch Craig!
 
You're most welcome. I now regreet not being photographed on that balcony. So is life - a shmmering string of regret and misgivings, tempered only by the occassional lunch.
