The Chairman Reviews
Overrated
The Chairman is a 1-Michelin-star Chinese restaurant in Central, Hong Kong. Reservation is known to be one of the most difficult ones to make in town. The main dining room looks like a warm living room. There is no private room. Corkage is set re

Just had my first steam buns from The Chairman at The Presidio. They're awesome! The spicy chicken wasn't spicy at all, but still very well seasoned with tender chicken and succulent steam buns. The pork bun was perfect. The only negative i
Faultless
Considered the best restaurant in Hong Kong, and a w50b mainstay, The Chairman opened in 2009 and has since come to define Cantonese cooking under a modern lense through the collaboration between Chefs Danny Yip and Kwok Keung Tung. Located on The W
Worth a visit
This is the best cantonese restaurant in HK. Very reasonable price as you could choose from different options strongly recommend to try the goose and chicken all appetizers are good too to be honest the only downside is the environment itโs a bit

I have not been to the free-standing restaurant however the truck is so good. It is definitely my go to at the farmers market. I usually go with a spicy chicken baked bao and sometimes switch it up with a steamed Coca Cola braised pork. So delish.
Camphor wood smoked black feet goose was sublime
When Iโd dinner in The Chairman a year or so ago, some customers near us had camphor wood smoked black feet goose. It looked and smelled so good that I regretted not ordering the dish. Iโd since longed to go there again. I finally managed to bo
Oh my goodness.
I tried the spicy chicken w/ baked bun and it was sooo good! I can't stop thinking about it lol the way the bun was buttery and crispy and the meat had so much flavor to it was so delicious! I think the carrots and cucumbers really complimented
Am I the last person in the area to have waited this long
Am I the last person in the area to have waited this long to sample The Chairman's offerings? Perhaps. An ever-present line tends to snake out from The Chairman food truck wherever one finds it thus keeping me away for the many years they�
SKIP! More organized trucks out there.
Their food is not worth the 30 minute wait at Presidio pop up. They opened but didn't have their computer set up fully and seemed annoyed they had to give me a discount to put my order through, reiterating the discount, as they turned the tip sc

The Chairman is one of my favorite food trucks in SF! The staff and owner are so friendly and the service is quick. Love their grub and they pop up everywhere in town so it's not to be missed.

Was at the farmers market on the College of San Mateo campus this morn. Surprise find was this food truck, The Chairman. I'd read some good things about the food. Had no clue about the menu. However, at the top of the menu was Tender Pork Bel
The Chairman food truck.
I've had them a couple times and every time I feel the same. First, I want to say that they usually have a long line. They always go through the line pretty fast though, and have the food ready fast as well. This is a food truck so the ambien

One of my favorite food trucks in the city! I really hope they reopen their now-closed Bayshore location.

Get rid of the computer kiosk if the staff is too lazy to help those who have trouble ordering from it.
The tofu tacos are the best and I don't even eat tofu.
Wish they were in the South Bay.
Those Chinese tacos are tasty.
I wish they still in the downtown pop up location. If you can catch them, they are worth it.
The bao they serve were so delicious I was actually brought
The bao they serve were so delicious I was actually brought to tears... Shout out to being one of the only affordable options at the presidio and probably the best one.

Great food! Sad that they will be "temporarily" closing on March 22 due to lack of business. In the meantime rush down to get a cola braised rice bowl or bao and chicken karaage. The pork belly is also excellent. Ask for a side of chips, se

We had The Chairman food truck at the Alameda Antiques Faire this weekend. I have had it before but have never posted a review. This was my son's first time having it. He opted for two different buns. Think of these buns as pillowy and soft tacos i
Well worth the wait
The dishes were a gourmetโs adventure. Especially liked the crab dish and the soup. We booked the seats one year before.
stellar Cantonese
The Chairman is - rightly - regarded as Hong Kong's best Cantonese restaurant and notoriously difficult to book. I managed a reservation for 6, but it took numerous efforts and getting up at 4 am (time difference Europe - HK obliging). Yet it was e

Bao sandwiches (Asian-inflected fillings in a steamed bun)
Bao sandwiches (Asian-inflected fillings in a steamed bun) became really trendy after the revolutionary Momofuku pork belly bun from David Chang. I loved that one (in New York), and I've been chasing a similar experience for the past year. The Chairm

Top 50 restaurant in the world of 2023? Really? The service was bad, not friendly, the environment was just normal, and the walk-in impression was not impressive. The presentation of the dish was nothing. The food was so-so for that money. The worst

Sandwiches are bomb, and we're going back to try more.
Everyone at the office enjoyed it, and it was flavorful and hot.
Pork belly bun with sweet moist bun and pickle radishes are
Pork belly bun with sweet moist bun and pickle radishes are the best. Pork belly marinated and slow cooked just right. Deep flavors and eating it brings a smile to your face.
The Chairman has gone downhill, I used to love this place.
I ordered the Coca Cola braised pork bao's, absolutely disgusting, the meat tasted as if it had been scrapped from the bottom of a burnt pan. I am so disappointed with my order.

It's been 5 years since I've had food from The Chairman, since I've moved to Europe since then. I was reminded of The Chairman earlier today, and I can't even describe how much I loved their food. There is nothing that's even close here in Germany. T
Wish to try the smoked goose next time
I love the food of The Chairman. Itโs my first visit to its current location on Wellington Street. The dining environment was definitely more comfortable than before. As for the food, every dish was very delicious except fried chicken. It wasnโ
Best Cantonese in Hong Kong
The Chairman is notoriously difficult to book, and I started many months before our dinner to secure a reservation. The restaurant has moved to new - and smaller- premises at the end of Wellington Street. The chief now serves an omakase type dinner
Can't go wrong with anything really.
Just wish it wasn't in California. Sad days when a food truck becomes a splurge. Not their fault - it's quality food.
Loved them when they were a food truck and now love this
Loved them when they were a food truck and now love this brick and mortar store, especially the salad bowls, noodle stores and delicious rice bowls not available at the food trucks.
Food was pretty tasty.
Lots of flavor in the sauces, seasoned well. Only thing is it's a long wait to order and get the food, even for private catered events. Tried a steamed bao with pork belly. Pickled daikon was a nice vinegary addition. Baked bao with coca cola braise

Food here was great! Got the steamed buns with tofu and felt satisfied as someone who has a healthy appetite. The order was made in the time frame they gave and workers here communicated the status of the order well. Can definitely recommend. The sea
It was fine.
The bun was overly oily. I remember getting at Spark a few years ago and liking, but this time, trying at Presidio, it was underwhelming. Won't get again.
Connect with users posting reservations for The Chairman
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Chairman. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Chairman at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Chairman page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at The Chairman to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Chairman!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
