Part of The Boon Group
Empress by Boon is San Francisco’s newest, must-visit epicurean destination in the heart of Chinatown offering a seasonal menu in modern Cantonese gastronomy. Michelin-starred Chef Ho Chee Boon applies traditional culinary techniques to fresh ingredients from local purveyors and the restaurant’s own farm based in Gilroy, Ca. to produce distinctive contemporary dishes infused with Cantonese flavors.
The expansive restaurant with several unique dining areas occupies the former location of Chinatown’s celebrated Empress of China with striking city views. The original Empress served the San Francisco community with an elegant dining experience for nearly half a century before closing in 2014. Reimagined by Chef Ho and team, the iconic space was brought back to its former glory by embracing modern design elements while incorporating restored original features, creating a welcoming atmosphere that pays homage to the history of the beloved landmark.
