A lot of Chinese restaurants often are, but you should call to confirm.

@Judi – the site is down at the moment.

It’s back up now!

@Violet : do you know if the Chinese restaurants around SF are open? In NY that’s the best type of place to go on xmas…

Yeah I’m looking more for a place like chinese, thai or sushi that would deliver….

@emilyrose : are you new to the city? there is a new thai place downtown that is pretty sweet, but they don’t delivery – yet (I may have begged a little bit the other day!). If you’re interested, it’s called Chabaa and their new location is at 420 Geary @ Mason, first location is 2123 Irving St.

@Samantha_Rae : Thanks! I am not new to the city but I AM new to not cooking on xmas but the idea of not having to do too many dishes is appealing : ) I will look into the thai thing. Would be so fun to have a yummy curry on xmas!

@emilyrose : if you go to this place, the Panaeng Curry (number 26) was the first curry dish I’ve ever had, and it was amazing. Everyone I was with loved the Pad Gra Pow (number 18) with pork :) have a great xmas!

@Samantha_Rae – I have no idea, did you try the website, opentable?

@Violet : nope not yet! I will though! thanks :)
