Inner Richmond

The Inner Richmond is a lively cultural melting pot wedged between the Presidio and Golden Gate Park. Known popularly as San Francisco’s second Chinatown, it also blends Japanese, Irish, Korean, Thai, and Russian roots into a walkable, family-friendly whole.

Geary Boulevard, Clement Street, and Balboa Street form the backbone of the Inner Richmond’s lively commercial districts. Rich diversity is on display through plentiful locally owned shops, restaurants serving dim sum, pho, and Korean BBQ, multiple Russian bakeries, and other delicious specialties from around the world. Cultural touchstones like neighborhood favorite Green Apple Books mix with colorful nightlife staples, from upscale cocktail lounges to neighborhood dives to pubs like the Pig and Whistle and the Bitter End.

The Inner Richmond is equally renowned for its proximity to nature. Golden Gate Park and the Presidio offer acres of outdoor space and cultural delights, including the de Young Museum, while smaller neighborhood favorites like Mountain Lake Park share the neighborhood with plentiful playgrounds for families.
