"For years, the most exciting option there was the make-your-own baked potato at California Crisp. The Stonestown McDonald's closed in 2024 after 30 years of business, and an influx of healthier and tastier options from Asian businesses have opened. This summer, Stonestown's food court and the rest of the mall welcomed in new restaurants and snack vendors that make it a worthy dining destination and not just a place to grab food when shopping."
"Le Soleil is a classic Vietnamese restaurant on Clement Street that also has an outpost in Hong Kong. Chef Dennis and Annie Wong's daughters are in charge at the new Stonestown location. They're super welcoming and the food is high-quality - doubtless the best that's ever been served at the mall. Don't miss the OG calling card: quail flambée au rhum with a lemon pepper dipping sauce."
48 Hills is running the 51st Best of the Bay Readers' Poll and hosting an Annual Community Gala on October 22 at El Rio. Stonestown opened as an outdoor shopping center in 1952 and was remodeled into the enclosed Stonestown Galleria in 1987, which introduced a food court anchored by tenants like California Crisp. The Stonestown McDonald's closed in 2024 after 30 years. New Asian businesses have since arrived, and the mall's recent restaurant additions have elevated it into a noteworthy dining destination. Le Soleil opened in July with a Clement Street/Hong Kong pedigree and family leadership, offering dishes such as quail flambée au rhum. Supreme Dumplings opened in June as a Washington-based group's first California location, noted for competent dumplings and giant fried pork chop noodle soup. Across town, the former Westfield San Francisco Centre has lost many hospitality partners and been described as dimly lit.
