House of Nanking is pretty good, too! Best hot and sour soup in the city!
If you want to try spicy chinese food, try Henry's Hunan. There's one just a few blocks from the Moscone Center at 110 Natoma. There's a good Cantonese dim sum place also near Moscone called "Canton".
For a real old fashioned lunch with an unbeatable view, try Red's Java House right on the Bay just south of the Bay Bridge. It's maybe a 10 minute walk from Moscone. Nothing fancy: their burger is just a beef patty or two on a fresh sourdough french roll with maybe a few bits of onion scattered on it. But a double burger, fries and a beer's only about 4 bucks. When you're done, walk out to the end of the pier and watch the tugboats go by under the Bay Bridge.
There's a Vietnamese greasy spoon diner just off of Market Street at around 5th or 6th that makes the best Vietnamese egg rolls you'll ever taste. Beware, though, that's not the best part of town although it's only 5 or 6 blocks from Moscone.
If you want to get really exotic, there's a great Burmese restaurant called Mandalay, way out on California street at about 6th Avenue.
For authentic Japanese noodles, try Mifune in Japantown. It's owned by a japanese family whose other restaurants are all in Japan.
For Pakistani food (it's good, trust me), try Shalimar or Nan 'N Curry: each of the two has brances downtown or in the Tenderloin.
There's a good Afgani restaurant called "Helmand" on Broadway street that's owned by the brother of the President of Afganistan.
That section of Broadway is where all the famous titty bars are, and it's also right next to chinatown.
For great bbq, try Flint's or KC BBQ in the East Bay.
Have fun!
