We used Harborview for our business meeting reception both this year and the last and it has worked out splendidly. Roped-off space by the bar with high tables works well for 20 people (could be expanded into adjacent area), with a wonderful appetizer spread. Highly recommend!

I’ve been a huge fan of this restaurant for years. We love the coffee marinated spare ribs. If you love coffee, you gotta try them! We drive in from the East Bay just to enjoy this delicious dish! Also, the sea bass with leeks dish is very good too! Dim sum is awesome too. This is a great little spot on Folsom. They used to be on Geary long ago and was forced out bc of a terrible nearby fire in another building that damaged their restaurant. I’m so grateful they reopened! Service is excellent. Try to make online reservations ahead of time. It’s easy!
