Air China -or- China Airlines? The airport website does not mention an Air China lounge.

They had a decent scotch too
And of all things: penne pasta, meatballs and chicken wings. The food was definitely the worst part of the lounge but overall I'd rather be in this empty lounge than the crowded AF/KL one.

On my last flight out of SFO, I got takeout from Yankee Pier so I wouldn't have to leave a tip. Still felt kinda awkward about it but priority pass really needs to cover gratuity.
I fly out of SFO at about 1PM a few times a year so I was wondering if it would be worth the trouble clearing security twice to use the KLM lounge. I have pre-check and Star Alliance Gold Track but never tried going to concourse A. I'd only bother if it has better food and seating than the Rotunda United Club.

Have been to the Giants Clubhouse a handful of times and Yankee Pier once, never been asked for my boarding pass. I have only ordered takeout.
Giants Clubhouse: wait at the entrance for a hostess to ring up your priority pass card. you may have to wait a few minutes as the hostess is not always there. the hostess will take you to a table if you are dining in, or direct you to the bar for takeout. you get a slip of paper to take to the bar to give to the bartender to order takeout and pay additional charges there if your total is over $28.
Yankee Pier: for takeout orders, do not wait for the hostess. go directly to the far left bar and order there. the bartender will take your order and ring up your priority pass and charge you for anything over $28..

AF/KLM Lounge updated hours for PP are posted. Presumably to avoid peak times for Europe and Australia departures:
07:30 - 11:30 & 15:30 - 18:30 & 20:30 - 00:45 daily. Cardholders will be admitted into the lounge inside these hours.

This evening the AMEX Centurion Lounge is closed due to a "maintenance" issue. So the AF/KLM Lounge is fuller than usual. As usual, the Lounge Dragons at the front desk didn't want to let me in with PP, unit l charmed my way in!! :-) But they are turning some people away.
Also, they are doing some work in the ramp area outside the lounge, so they have all the windows covered with "artwork".

I'm guessing the temporary Centurion Lounge closure also increased the crowds at Yankee Pier and the SF Giants Clubhouse, which have the $28 PP credit deal.

Yeah, I wouldn't do that, especially considering how both the Yankee Pier and SF Giants Clubhouse are just a few gates away from the Centurion Lounge. The AF Lounge is nice, but nothing special and IMO not worth the trek and the extra trip through security.
