"One Saturday, we were exploring the city, visiting Ocean Beach, the botanical gardens, and several wine bars. Eventually, we found ourselves in the charming neighborhood of West Portal, which was easily accessible by Muni. While looking for a place to have dinner, I came across Xiao Loong, which was reputed to have fantastic food but did not take reservations. Despite my usual reluctance to dine at such places, we decided to give it a try. Surprisingly, they had a table available for us almost immediately. Many tables cleared out soon after, so it wasn't as crowded as it seemed. However, it was evident that they were popular, as we noticed several takeaway orders being picked up."
