Empress by Boon

We are proud to be the newest fine dining concept to open in San Francisco’s Chinatown. We can't wait to offer locals and visitors alike a place to enjoy Cantonese fare and create lasting memories for years to come in a beautiful space. - Chef Ho Chee Boon

Delicious by design! The Empress by Boon will feature stunning tableware by RUYI, a contemporary Chinese tableware from French heritage tableware brand LEGLE. The delicious cuisine and the fine tableware are intrinsically linked allowing diners to experience the prosperity and elegance of attending a Chinese banquet.

Happy New Year! Let’s toast to yesterday’s achievements and tomorrow’s bright future. #EmpressByBoon
