Budget Chinese Dishes Along Polk Street in San Francisco

Let the weekend morning take its time. Tai Chi gives lunch a straightforward destination on Polk Street, with Chinese cooking at the center of a casual meal. The restaurant keeps things unfussy, a fit for an afternoon that starts with an appetite instead of an itinerary.

At 2031 Polk St in Polk Gulch, the kitchen focuses on a variety of traditional dishes. Budget friendly dining is part of the appeal, leaving you to build the day around a meal rather than an elaborate occasion. Keep the plans loose and make this your stop when the morning gives way to lunch.

Service runs Tuesday through Saturday from 11 AM to 9 PM and Sunday from noon to 9 PM, with Monday closed. Take Saturday at the earlier opening, or let Sunday drift toward midday before heading over for lunch.
