“What a great place, a hidden jewel in the city! Fresh fish, fresh chips and guacamole… Everything was perfect! DELICIOUS❣️ We will return…“

“The seafood here is absolutely superb in both flavour and service, with exceptionally fresh ingredients. It ranks among the finest seafood I've ever tasted😃😋“

“One of my absolute favorite restaurants in SF. Visited a few times and this past one really reminded me why this place is special. The food is fantastic, but never pretentious. Maggie mentioned her favorite item was the salad which I couldn’t believe, but to be honest I think it was my favorite too. The black cod and the daikon rice cake were also insanely good. The service was exception, huge shout out to Maggie for her help with our allergies too. Highly recommend!!“

“It's a restaurant with very delicious food. It's not all anchovies although we love anchovies. There's a very interesting mix of cuisine styles including vegetarian, poultry and fish. The food smells here are great! You know the kitchen is really cooking. It's also a very welcoming place with friendly service. Can't wait to go back!“

“As a midwesterner, a straight from the docks seafood place like this is a dream. Completely blew our modest budget there and am SO glad I did. Chowder wasn't new England or Manhattan style but unique and superb.
Despite the long list of great restaurants in SF, I probably return to Popi's on my next visit.“

“Had San Francisco Cioppino (Mussels. Clams, Crab, Cod, Prawns, Scallops and Garlic Bread that was the bomb). Only giving 2 thumbs up as I only have 2. Great food, great service!“

“A “5 ⭐️” Seafood Favorite: Picturesque SF atmosphere, friendly service, unbeatable cuisine. Simply the Best!“

“What an amazing culinary experience! We had a three course meal. The waiter was very helpful, friendly and had great recommendations! I highly recommend this place if you're in San Francisco!“

“Amazing service and food!!!!“

“Hands down our favorite go-to restaurant when we are in the city going out to dinner, or when we are looking to take out-of-towners someplace truly unique, or when we are looking to bring the most delicious dinner home. The seafood is as fresh and high quality as it gets, served in the most unique way. Start with the chowder, packed with a wide variety of shellfish, spiced just right with a little kick to it, neither New England nor Manhattan, they have invented a new broth that is both rich and flavorful while being light. The Scallops are a must try. They simply melt in your mouth with a burst of complex flavors. The small plate tostadas meld flavors and textures you just can’t find anywhere else. Although it is located on Divisadero in a multi-block long string of restaurants, the atmosphere inside has the feel of the most comfortable neighborhood bistro. Impecable service all at a very reasonable price for the quality and the creativity and joy the food will bring to your palate.“

“Almost 50 years and still serving“

“The food is absolutely delicious, the atmosphere is luxurious, and the view from the windows is stunning“

“An amazing restaurant with an interesting history and spectacular view of the Bay. Great service and food. And the Caprice is fully wheelchair accessible. Thanks for a great dining experience!“

“What a perfect end to a busy day! The food was delicious, the portions were just right, and the wait staff was very friendly! I will definitely be back.😋“

“Had lunch at the little shucker. It is an interesting place. Lunch menu is simple and focused on seafood. All seafood dishes are fresh and cooked to perfection. The salad didn’t look too appealing but tasted delicious. Actually we loved everything we ordered. Our favorite appetizer is scallop tartare and Brussels sprouts. The roasted whole fish is also excellent. The portion is small but we don’t mind. They definitely deserve a five star rating for food. However the plates were really shabby and worse than those used in school cafeterias. I would not use these for my dogs or cats. The decorations are also very bland. I think the purpose might be to create a casual and relaxing atmosphere. Chairs and benches are not comfortable. I would probably come for a quick bite or a glass of wine but not a real sit down meal with friends.“

“This a place to visit,great food and service“

“Awesome experience celebrating a friend’s birthday.“

“My go to. Constantly delish for the past 30 years.“

“Best meal of my 14 day trip to California. wonderful atmosphere, great service and delicious food. I wish you had a restaurant in St Petersburg, FL.“

“The food was flavourful and the texture was just right. We ordered the Peking duck and soy chicken. Our kids loved the chicken with a side of steamed rice. The chef enjoys strong flavours and skillfully cut the chicken like butter in front of our table. The atmosphere is casual with an Asian-fusion trendy vibe.“

“First time visiting John's grill on Valentines Day. I had no reservations i put my name on the guest list. They said they would call me when they could. So I went to the bar for some drinks and had a great time chatting with everyone there. Lets just say I got a table for 2 within 15 minutes thanks to the hostess and the manager. Great atmosphere and great service from everyone. This is now my favorite place in the Bay Area. Thank you for a great Valentines Day dinner and drinks.“

“Classic delicious Chinese food in an old fashioned Chinese restaurant. After a brief holiday Yin has returned to bring her beloved neighborhood restaurant and cuisine back to life!!! Just like before Dinner and Lunch!

Back again and its October 6 2025
And after while the CRISPY CHICKEN is back on the Menu!!!
I came to Celebrate the Moon Festival tonight and got the Crispy Chicken and beef with Bitter Melon as well as Kung Pao Shrimp!!! All so delicious!
I asked several friends to come but they were all too busy. They missed a fabulous Dinner!!!“

“I must say i had high hopes but the meal was tasteless but my friends had too much salt. I wanted to like it. Wont return, wont recommend. ☹“

“I read all the wonderful reviews on the actual website, and a friend and I decided to meet there for dinner last night (3/5/25) I was excited about trying out a new spot. The ambience was nice the restaurant was lively and surprisingly busy for a Wednesday night. Our food arrived in a timely manner however, our Server never return to ask if there was anything else needed. Although the crab chowder bowl was tasty, I would have like a little pepper and perhaps some Tabasco to further bring out the flavors. Unfortunately I couldn't get the Servers attention. The garlic noodles were definitely garlicky which wasn't the problem. There was way to much butter/olive oil with no other type of seasoning leaving them bland. The real issue was how the Server popped up and started reaching around the table to remove things as if we were being rushed out. She came back with dessert tray of which we declined then proceed to bring check and clear what she could away. A large group sitting nearby was rushed out after another large group was escorted to their table. Most started trying to finish their wine and gather their things which was obviously awkward for the group that appeared who had to turn around and give them room to leave. Our Server offered to-go containers and appeared impatient that we weren't leaving. Our entire dinner from beginning to end was 50 mins( with my friend trying to eat a whole crab which takes time) and we felt very rushed. Overall our experience was just "ok" therefore I wouldn't rush back anytime soon. We did however appreciate the 1 hour parking validation.“

“Love the food and the service. Staff are all so professional, courteous and diligent! 5 Stars!“

“Popped in for dinner whilst walking past. Enjoyed a crab roll, a lobster bisque and some fries.

The food was served quickly and was tasty. They also serve draft beer which was nice to go with the food.

I only mark it down a bit of atmosphere as it very much just feels like a fast food restaurant inside. Plastic chairs, plastic tables and plastic cutlery. That said, I’d revisit for the food.“

“wonderful service, reasonably priced menu with a romantic atmosphere that was perfect for our last night out on the town. Lobster was delicious! the seafood pasta... perfect! highly recommend!“

“We ordered the Seared Ahi tuna sandwich ($20) and the happy hour Original Ahi poke ($10), it was so good I couldn't take a picture fast enough before it was eaten. Absolutely amazing service, they checked on us a few times throughout our meal to make sure everything was good, and he was very helpful. Blown away by our experience and can't wait to come back“

“French Fries as a side are not on our menu. I politely informed this man that I could not accommodate a side order of French fries, I understand that is ridiculous to people, but no one has ever given me so much push back before. I politely informed these people that I couldn’t do that and they wouldn’t take no for an answer, I do understand their perspective. Their review was so mean and no they don’t feel any real empathy, or they would not have posted that. They insisted on getting their way and called it ridiculous and were intimidating to me, yes you bullied someone and they cried. Cashiers are people too. I promise if you visit this location so will be honest with what I can provide you and give you my best. This interaction actually stood out as the single worst interaction I’ve had with any customer in 7 months, because they were MEAN. To go out of your way to leave a one star review because you didn’t get your way is petty to say the least. I hope everyone is blessed and having a beautiful life Including Mr. Kudszus. I understand not everyone is kind and people like to make others feel bad. I love to make people happy with what I CAN do, if you are respectful to people they usually don’t cry. Take care everyone, thank you for my first negative review! Some people wake up and spread pain. I spread joy and move on to a new day.

“Stopped in with the fam (party of 6), place was empty. Tried to order 4 lobster rolls and 2 fries — nothin’ crazy. The waitress looked like a deer in headlights, started talkin’ ‘bout how she’s all alone, then bless her heart, she broke down cryin’ right there.

We felt awful for her, but y’all… that ain’t how a restaurant should run. Sure thing we left. Hands down the strangest, most uncomfortable place we ever stepped foot in.”“

“The view of the Golden Gate Bridge on the window side is a highlight. Food was okay, portions were a bit small. The waitress is courteous and helpful. When it came to payment we were a bit surprised. At first the tip for everyone totaled about 17 dollars. When we wanted to split the bill between three, she brazenly asked each of us to tip us $9, which ended up being $10 more...“

“Need 250 oysters for your annual Blue Angels Rooftop Oyster Shuck (like we do every year)? This is the place to get them - the first spot on our shopping roundup that morning. There's a reason they call it Fisherman's Wharf, and it's not for the t-shirts or car break-ins. CSC is our go-to destination for wholesale seafood purchasing.“

“Of all the fish markets on this street and nearby within Chinatown, this is my go-to place- hands down. For whatever reason, staff at other fish markets are very impatient boarder on rude; however, staff here are very nice and friendly and explains to me all sort of questions about the source of the fish of different types and recommend me how to cook the fish.Overall, Highly recommended.Also, one of the fun part of visiting places like this: you never know what to expect - since what they sell is depending on what the fishermen catch. I see new species for me to try out every other month. So much fun!“

“After wandering at Pier 39 we got hungry and decided to try this place. We ordered fish n chips, crab cakes. Both are delicious and fresh. Counter service, with occasional visits from the pigeons. We were sitting the stools and they walked right under us, which made it fun experience. The turtle sourdough bread is from the Boudin bakery next door.“

“Desiree, Alex, and their partner from NYC (did not get his name) were all so very kind and welcoming.

I went for the lobster roll, which was delicious, but stayed extra time for the conversation.

They remained attentive to each guest who came in, but also continued to have engaging convo with me during my visit.

I will absolutely go back the next time I visit SFO and hope I get the pleasure of seeing them again. They are awesome!“

“Happened to come here quickly. I asked the staff if they were still open and they said yes and were very friendly and accommodating! The food was amazing. I got a crab melt and it was soo delicious! Tried one from some place in Monterey and it didn’t even compare to this one. Plus it was very clean. Loved it here and would definitely recommend.“

“A lot places to see, and food to eat“

“I will drive over an hour from Sacramento just to eat here. The menu changed a bit since I got hooked ... my favorite dish (appears to be no longer available) was the chimichurri bowl with grilled salmon over a bed of salad greens and quinoa. Still, it is a wonderful experience to dine here.“

“Fast and friendly service, great atmosphere 👍“

“Excellent service and high quality food. Open late!“

“The best Italian I’ve ever had. Great service great drinks as well.“
