""I'm a huge fan," Fang said of the two-time Emmy Award winner. "He said that he's been coming for years and has been a fan of our restaurant, and it's been kind of a tradition where they would come during Sketchfest.""
""We've also had other people come in and we'll always hear it's a referral from a comedian," she said. "All I have to say is comedians love good Chinese food.""
""Usually these people kind of just come in, probably not in a big group, and I think because at House of Nanking there's so much going on in there, people don't notice," she said. "I guess they like that, probably. There's not a lot of attention paid to the people coming in and out, and people just don't expect it, either.""
Bob Odenkirk visited San Francisco for SF Sketchfest and booked a lunch reservation for about 10 people at House of Nanking. Co-owner Kathy Fang said Odenkirk has been coming for years and that visiting during Sketchfest has become a tradition. House of Nanking opened in 1988 by Peter and Lily Fang and is popular with comedians and notable celebrities. Fang splits time between House of Nanking and the family's other restaurant, Fang, and often hears about celebrity visits only afterward because guests tend to be low-key. Fang cooked for Odenkirk and his group chose the restaurant's "let us order for you" option.
