San Francisco’s food scene: China Live expands for lunch, Boichik Bagels to open 3 new locations [Video]

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — You’ve likely heard about businesses that are leaving downtown San Francisco. And while that has become a major concern, all is not lost.

Two restaurants are expanding in San Francisco. One will cater to the lunch crowd while the other is opening three all new locations.

If you’re under the impression that businesses, including restaurants can’t make it in San Francisco, then you should watch the above video which shows China Live on a Monday night. Their dinner crowd has been strong, and it’s led to people asking about lunch.

“So we had a lot of requests from people who are working downtown who may not be remote working and say, ‘Hey can I come for lunch?’ and we said, ‘We’re not open,’ and they said, ‘When you gonna open?’ So we’ve had a lot of those requests,” said China Live founder George Chen.
