Taishan Tradition, Served in a Clay Pot
Taishan-style clay pot rice, soups and congee, served on Clement Street in San Francisco.
A humble pot.
A whole world of flavor.
Rice cooks in a small clay pot with savory toppings. The appeal is in the contrast: tender grains above, a golden rice crust below.
01 · The clay pot
The cooking vessel gives this Cantonese rice dish its name and its distinctive character.
02 · The toppings
Eel, chicken, Chinese sausage and more bring different savory flavors to each pot.
03 · The golden crust
The rice touching the hot pot forms a toasted layer: the much-loved 锅巴, or rice crust.
Three flavors to explore.

THE LITTLE DETAIL WORTH DISCOVERING · 锅巴
Save room for
the golden crunch.
One of clay pot rice’s defining pleasures is the toasted rice at the bottom. Heat and moisture shape its texture, bringing another layer of flavor to the meal.
Two textures. One clay pot.

FROM TAISHAN TO SAN FRANCISCO
Our roots are in Taishan.
Our table is here.
Before opening Clay Pot House, our owner ran a restaurant in Taishan. In May 2003, that experience found a new home in San Francisco.
Today, Taishan flavors—and our signature yellow eel clay pot rice—remain at the heart of our restaurant.
