“The food here was really good: the Grilled Beef Curry and the Umami Spicy Shrimp stood out for me, while the Pork Larb, Squid with Salted Egg Sauce, and Brussels Sprouts were above average as well. Fried chicken was just ok in terms of flavor, but was really crispy, which I liked. Staff provided good service, atmosphere was good for conversation, and the prices were reasonable. The only downside is that serving sizes were quite small, and my recommendation is to get a good amount of rice to pair with the dishes. 5 out of 5.“

“I grew up in a Chinese restaurant so my bar for any kind of Chinese food is very high. There are rarely ever any Chinese restaurants that I'd return to, never mind feel confident in bringing other people with me... this is one of those rare gems. Not only is the food fantastic, but the service has been really nice. I love this place and would recommend a visit to try any of their items. My favorites are the pan fried pork juicy bao, braised beef noodle soup, green beans, and pig ears. All of their recipes are super authentic.“

“The food was good, but definitely not worth the price tag, with the exception of the uni toast (10/10), the pasta, and the oysters. The steak tartare barely tasted like steak, and nothing other than the uni was worth coming back for. Dessert was pretty good though. Ambiance was also very casual, but not “

“The food was a great mix of Latin and Cantonese flavors. It brought back many childhood memories of Chinese food in Northern Mexico while growing up. The owner was extremely warm and welcoming in sharing her cuisine that is from her home and heart.“

“Very good Korean fare in a laid back setting. Ollei serves up tasty late night grub and vibes in Russian Hill. The grill is burning, the meat is cooking, soups are boiling, the drinks are flowing and kpop is popping, this is a good Korean restaurant in San Francisco. Tasty food at an affordable price and where you can also go to throw a couple back as well. It was the perfect place to warm up on a cold SF night, food and drink wise. I’m definitely coming back to try various other dishes. Very good.Kid-friendliness: Not really“

“Friendly, fast, and fantastic — from start-to-finish, dining in always changes my day for the better.It’s a simple space, but the people make it feel like a home to me and remember what I like to order.Their Tofu Pad See Ew is the best I’ve had in town; the noodles and vegetables are cooked just right, it’s always the right amount of sauce, and the crispy bits on top are delightful. They can even make it vegan!Many thanks again, Tycoon!“

“A unique brunch spot. I had the pandan waffle and fried chicken which was tasty. The waffle was cold and a wee bit soggy but good flavour. Someone else had the bo luc lac and the beef was super duper tender and juicy but also very sweet. The shrimp Benedict was quite good and the chicken sammie was good but the star of that was the French fries they were spectacular. The service was friendly and good. There's no atmosphere but still a place I'll go back to.“

“Holy cow!!!! The food here is INSANELY delicious. I can still taste it in my memories, a week later. The wait was nuts (Fri eve). I so wish they'd take ressies. We ended up eating outside and I was freezing despite the heat lamp, but it was worth it. Also, one of the best service experiences in the city!! Amazingly friendly and knowledgeable wait staff that go so far out of their way to make sure you have a good meal and highly honor food restrictions/preferences. Impressive!!“

“Absolutely Divine! Each 'bite' is it's own expression of flavor and talent. They have a lot to be proud of. I tried things I would have never tried on my own. Albeit now, I doubt others will live up to the new expectations!I will say, having read the other reviews here, they should try a few newer things, as it seems they've been doing the same set for 5+ years, making repeat visits bland in terms of originality.Parking: Valet parking.“

“If you are craving Burmese food, which if you are unfamiliar is the best of Indian, Chinese and Thai cuisines, B-star is a reliable workhorse. This is part of the same chain as Burma Superstar in SF and East Bay, i.e. same menu.Tea leaf salad is the must-have go-to dish at any Burmese restaurant. And B-star does not disappoint. For vegetarians, you can skip the fish sauce if you let your server know. The salad is prepared fresh by your table and adding some lemon brings out the best of the green tea leaf paste and the crunchy accoutrements that compliment the lettuce, garlic and sesame seeds.Another classic is the palatha with dip, which is the equivalent of a fried roti with chicken (usually) or coconut curry in B-star's case. Or you can skip it for a samusa soup (Samosa soup) that's hearty, savory and can be a meal by itself.If you have any room left, there's a bunch of mains, from Tofu to Catfish (Mohinga - that's a specialty), with flavors reminiscent from the Thai or Chinese cuisines.Parking is always a challenge on clement street and you need to call your parking angel to find metered parking.Tip: Try their $25 lunch special M-F available until 2.30 pm that includes an appetizer, main and a drink. Best value.“

“There is something magical about fresh warm bread and cold picked vegetables. I got teriyaki chicken which was delicious. Also tried the bbq pork which was pretty good. Unlike some bahn mi places they didn't overdo the sauces. Will be back! It's a perfect meal after a hike.“

“Can't stop my craving from coming here for their wings. Another day after work with coworkers which 212 definitely don't disappoint. Cool workers and owners. Fun place to relax and relieve stress. Unless your allergic to fun, fried chickens, people and alcohol ... better you stay home lol J/K. Overall a must check out place for all that loves food, fun, alcohol etc.Peace out ...wink!“

“Super quick and delicious meal! My friend and I walked in on a Friday after early cocktails nearby and were immediately greeted & seated! We ordered the chicken dumplings, wagyu dumplings, chicken chow mein and stir fried string beans. The green beans were the star of the show! They were amazing. We also really enjoyed the chow mein. Next time I'd like to get a different type of dumpling, as the chicken dumplings were just okay.“

“My husband and I came across your Chestnut location this past weekend! What a wonderful find. The VERY nice gentleman that served us, the best dumplings - I highly recommend the Spicy Sichuan Wontons in Red Oil. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“Great option for ramen on the outskirts of Chinatown located along the cable car line. I came here with a friend and their friend on a rainy night. It was pretty full but we were seated quickly. I love the flowers inside! We shared the Crab Wonton to start and things started on a high note. I liked my tonkotsu ramen and my friend said they'd get the spicy miso ramen again. The broth flavor was rich and thick, and I liked the creaminess of the egg and all the toppings.“

“This place had a upscale vibe with great music and attentive staff. Everyone was very friendly and I had the bbq pork buns and Pork Sheng Jian Bao and everything was SOOO AMAZING! I wish I lived closer I would be broke from eating here everyday of my life! The bbq pork buns were so fluffy with a hint of sweetness and a savory inside of bbq pork. The soup dumplings had a crunchier pan fried bottom with flavorful soup and meat on the inside. The Oolong tea was very good as well I didn't need sugar at all it was just good quality tea. They even brought a dessert sesame ball for free at the end of my meal and i left so full and satisfied! If you read to the bottom of this, hesitate no further and just do yourself a favor and check this place out, you WONT regret it.“

“A fusion restaurant with fun dishes and flavors. We were a group of three and ended up splitting the chicken and waffles, hot pot, and Gatai (Thai breakfast with minced chicken and egg). Everything is really tasty with a slight Thai twist to it. Our favorite was the chicken and waffles as their waffles tasted more like Belgian waffles.They have a bottomless brunch mimosa which can be great if you want to get the party started early. But it also means it can get a bit loud. Their non-alcoholic drinks also looked good. I had the Thai iced tea which was a bit on the sweeter side but just the jolt I needed.I’d come back if I was in the area, esp for the waffles.“

“They are located in the Ferry Building and offer seating both inside and outside with a view of the bay. I recently tried their chicken wings, which were so delicious—I highly recommend them! In general, their food is always delicious, and the service is very good.“

“The best sushi in the neighborhood! I highly recommend this place to all of my local and visiting clients. The staff is kind and efficient. Everything on the menu is so good and surprisingly affordable. My favorites are the unagi roll, the rock'n roll, and the bento box lunch special.“
“Wako was surely one of, if not, the finest sushi dinner I've had in San Francisco. Just exquisite fish, flavors, and presentation. The appetizers and surrounding dishes of the Omikase were very excellent as well. But if you just want the sushi, the sushi tasting is a better value. You get the same number of pieces of sushi for less money.“

“This is not a fancy Chinatown tourist trap. It's a humble Chinese diner with excellent food and good portions. Two people might share a rice plate with some side dumplings. I had the beef with mixed vegetables plate. Came with a small soup and a piping hot dumpling. Everything was super fresh and came straight from wok to table in seconds. Looks like old school family run place. For what one gets it's a bargain in this day and age.I saw many locals who kibbitzed in Mandarin with the staff. How do you say kibbitzed in Mandarin?? They almost to a person ordered a pork dish, apparently a specialty, that looked terrific on the plate.That'll be my next meal here...Under 15 bucks with 2 cups of tea out the door.It's right off the alley where Red's Place is...“

“My fav place to eat in FiDi. Delicious food and variety with seamless operation and friendly staff. Always make it my mission to support this business and I am not the only one. Situated in a shopping center that is mostly all closed, Julie’s is one of a few tenants (3 or so tenants) that single-handedly drives a majority of the foot traffic in this shopping center. People come in either ordering buffet or their deliciously selected menu items. You can never go wrong with Julie’s!“

“Excellent! I’m sharing the fish rolls Amy and Olivia had, they finished with some amazing looking Faty Toro. The avocado roll was excellent, I was surprised by the Veggie Roll, next time I’ll get at least 2! The mix of crunch and flavor is fantastic! I also got the special veggie roll, the long sour finish was stunning, sneaky and rewarding! I’ll be back!!!“

“We came here for bottomless brunch and drinks and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had! David was our waiter and gave us some of the best service I've ever had! The music was amazing as well and everyone in the restaurant was singing and jamming along! It felt like I was at a club or karaoke, singing along to classic tunes, but with unlimited food and drinks! I will definitely come back again! Salud!“

“Oh my gosh! This was some of the best Chinese food i’ve had in a while. It was amazing and I loved the ban ban noodles! The service was amazing. They pour your water for you, put food on your plate, ect. I loved the atmosphere and lighting! I’m very specific with my lighting, and it wasn’t too bright but not too dark.Kid-friendliness: I am a kid! And they are so sweet and give you a nice smile.“

“Hands down the best Hot and Sour soup I’ve had in 10 years. And some of the best Chinese food I’ve had in a while. My favorite place recently closed down, and so I’ve been on the hunt for a new haunt. Long drive for me, but frankly worth the drive.“

“Great service, food was excellent--it would be better if not all the food came out at one time, and we didn't have enough space at our two-top to hold all the plates. But overall, excellent corn fritters and spare ribs, spring rolls, calamari. And again, great service, thank you!“

“Lovely experience at Avatars. GF had a salad with plain chicken while I had their famous salmon enchiladas. I think the tangy nature of the sauce comes from a reduced curry mix, salt and lime pickle. The hybrid Mexican / Indian theme is something that’s becoming bigger and bigger in the Bay. Good friendly service.Dietary restrictions: They can custom the order to your needs.“
“This place is AMAZING!!! We got the rose and carbonara tteokbokki and both were flavor bombs! The rose tteokbokki had a nice creamy consistency and slight kick (highly recommend adding sausages and mozzarella). The carbonara tteokbokki was literally one of best things I've ever had ~ it's creamy, flavorful, umami, and the bacon adds a nice texture! We also tried the so-tteok which was delicious! Highly recommend and will be back!!! Also the service is awesome ~ I think the owner took our order but he was so nice!!!“

“Crustaceans Seafood Restaurant is an absolute gem, and Kevin, our server, elevated our dining experience to perfection. Kevin's attentive service and extensive knowledge of the menu helped us navigate through the delectable offerings. Each dish, from the succulent crab to the perfectly cooked garlic noodles, was a culinary masterpiece. The presentation was impeccable, and the flavors were simply divine. I can't wait to return for another memorable meal.“

“When I tell you I've been DREAMING about these onigiri ever since I got to try them on an SF visit 5 ish years ago, I'm not even kidding. And they still lived up to my expectations! Such a unique fun spot, terrific for folks who are gluten free, vegan, sesame free, or all of the above like me. I just hope you bring back the spicy wasabi as a side for takeout orders...from memory, it was incredible!“

“Came here for a quick lunch with my team before an offsite. It was my first time, and upon first entering I immediately loved the vibe! It was so clean and welcoming with the bright decor. Since we came around 11:30 is was empty - which was perfect since we didn't feel pressure to order. Prices also weren't too bad from what I could see! I ended up ordering the Tempura Crunch Roll from the Japan section since I wanted something a bit light. I personally thought it was okay, but wouldn't order it again. I do admire the staff though - they were friendly and took dietary restrictions seriously! I have a coworker who has a gluten intolerance and when she asked about the ingredients to make sure she was able to have them, they were more than happy to check the ingredients list. They even circled back to make extra sure the sauces were okay for her to have. I would definitely come back next time I need lunch while I'm at the office to try the other dishes!“

“Came here after the Easter egg hunt with my boy and a friend. Didn't do an appointment so service to get a seat was a little slow. Once we were seated they gave us time to see what we wanted. We got the meat combo order for 3 people and it didn't disappoint. My boy who is a little picky really enjoyed their food. Just so you know, they run the restaurant a little cold because the burners are on constantly. Overall it was a great first time experience for my little boy and eating with friends is also a great thing. Lastly they have those large alcohol tubes for large tables (like they do at Dave and busters).“

“Placed my order at the self-order kiosk at 11:33, walked out the door with my two banh mi (traditional and chicken) 12 minutes later. Very fast and efficient. I asked for no cilantro and extra veg and they kindly obliged very delicious chicken sandwich! The bread to meat to vegetables ratio is my ideal. I love that the bread isn’t thick and dry. I would highly recommend!“

“Came here for lunch while doing some shopping in Japantown.The restaurant is in a very unique location, situated in the middle of a walkway between two shopping centers. There are about 6-8 tables seating 2-4 people, as well as counter seating for around 10.I ordered the Menchi-katsu curry over rice - the portion size was decent, with two large halves of a beef patty, breaded with panko. The menchikatsu was well seasoned, a little dry, but still was soft and melted in your mouth. The curry sauce was a little on the weak side, almost watery in consistency.Service was a little slow, but that was expected, due to the restaurant being crowded.Overall, decent quality - just be prepared for a wait if you go during peak lunch hours“

“Came here to dine alone for dinner. The gumbo was STELLAR and I would absolutely order it again- so flavorful, I scraped my plate clean! The service was attentive and very friendly. I would skip the cajun fries next time and try the cajun fried rice and/or seafood combo. I will absolutely be back! Great value for money.“
