Chinatown Kite Shop

San Francisco
Gift Store

Featured In

Out of the many touristy gift shops on Grant Avenue, the Chinatown Kite Shop stands out as probably the most fun specialty store. From child-sized kites of colorful fish to more serious, elaborate handmade Chinese dragon kites at $399, there really is something for everyone. Serious buyers can order custom kites. The store also sells toys, lanterns, traditional Chinese outfits, and other gifts if somehow kites aren’t your thing (but why wouldn’t they be?). There’s even a Zoltar outside of the shop, which fans of the movie Big will appreciate. As lighthearted as the store ambiance is, it did suffer from vandalism last year, making patronage all the more needed.
How to visit: Walk in or order online.
