“Easy persuasion to eat here. Good grub and fast.“

“I honestly don’t understand why the rating is so low—it’s absolutely delicious and tastes just like back home in China. I ordered lamb skewers, grilled squid, cold noodles, and grilled cold noodles. Ever since I tried it once, I’ve been craving it every day.“

“The charcoal grills are a new experience for me. It was awesome! Food was delicious! Service was great! My only complaint would be for the ventilation to be better/stronger. I know to expect to smell like KBBQ after, but I think ventilation can be improved.“

“I am giving 4 stars because i order rice and i feel like i was over charged. I will likely go there again.

Good
Very little customers
Typical hawaiiian BBQ
Prices seemed typical

Bad
Over priced rice (i am still a bit bitter about being overcharged for that).
Nothing really special just average.“

“Amazing BBQ and staff is friendly and do a great job!!“

“The pastrami is what it's all about for me...tender, delicious, and plenty of it!! Try the quesadillas if you like a bit of spice, or the marble rye is excellent too. Take away is easy since you can order direct (yes, delivery services support them, but they charge at least $4 more per item!!) or you can eat in the back garden patio that's heated!“

“Amazing every time.“

“Nice place to dine in with family and friends“

“WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!! Smokin D's BBQ far exceeded my expectations when providing super delicious Southern food for my brother's memorial! I would give them 5+ stars if I could! First, owners Daniel and Lareina met with me at the venue a few weeks in advance and carefully went over every detail of each dish that I wanted. Since I wasn't sure if our guests could eat spicy food, they took out the jalapeños from the mini cornbread muffins and any spice from the other dishes I wanted. When I talked about wanting a sweeter coleslaw, Daniel asked if I wanted KFC-style coleslaw, which was exactly what I was looking for. Second, on the day of the memorial, Daniel and Lareina arrived on time with all of the hot and cold food ready to go. All I had to do was show them where to place the trays. Third, after our guests left, Daniel and Lareina were very quick to pick up all of their equipment, which meant that I could go home earlier than expected. Most importantly, all of our guests absolutely RAVED about all of the food, especially about the smoked pulled pork and cornbread muffins!!! In fact, many sent me texts later saying that the food was a "huge hit" and asking me for the company's name, which I was pleased to provide. If any friend wants catered BBQ for their parties, I will recommend Smokin D's BBQ in SF in a heartbeat! SIMPLY AWESOME!!!“

“One of the best Filipino food to go to if you need a quick fix! Also very friendly staffs. School street in Daly City, CA.“

“PLEASE OPEN A LOCATION IN SF!!!!!

When I tell you that I love Prime BBQ, I am 100% serious. I always look forward to eating here and crave it constantly. Everything is always fresh and very well-seasoned and the staff is attentive. My favorites are the ribeye, enoki mushroom, and mochi bacon skewers. Everything is seriously so tasty at this restaurant. I am begging you guys to please open a location in SF!!“

“All over social media, people are saying this place has THE BEST roast duck in the country! So I had to check it out for myself.... I got half a duck and this was plenty for my boyfriend and I to share.If I'm being picky, the duck was on the salty side. However, it's very flavorful and savory. Not very sweet like other places. The duck pieces didn't have a ton of meat on them, but the pieces that had more meat were pretty juicy.Overall, not the best duck I've had - but definitely good quality! I'd recommend it to those visiting SF Chinatown.“

“Just incredible Korean contemporary fusion cuisine. Kept the fundamentals of the Korean authenticity with unique broad appealing western gastronomic desires. Well done!!!👍“

10/10“

“I always drive by this place and have never stopped. Figured we needed good bbq for Juneteenth. It did not disappoint. Excellent service and delicious food, even my teens chowed down. Easy to park by the community center. Try it. The meat is smoked to perfection. The baked beans have ground turkey. Enjoy!“

“The meat was tender and smokey with rich flavor. The ribs were tasty. My wife liked the brisket, it was moist and had good texture. The beans were ordinary. The slaw was good. Everyone liked the corn bread.“

“great korean bbq plates. I usually get the beef bulgogi or the spicy pork.“

“Great Food😋 Sports bar atmosphere“

“Really enjoyed the BBQ here! The ingredients were fresh and everything we ordered was delicious. The service was friendly and attentive, and they were especially nice and welcoming to our little one. We had a great experience and will definitely come back!“

“The food was incredibly delicious. Almost all of their dishes are roasted, including vegetables. The okra and green beans were particularly tasty. They also offer vegetarian and keto-friendly options. The atmosphere, however, wasn’t particularly great, but the rest of the experience was enjoyable.“

“Our band, Drini & the Bad Kats Band, played at the venue for the first time last night. The entire staff, patrons and owner were great. Our friends loved the venue as well. I’ve been for Karaoke Nights several times and have always had a blast as well. The drinks are strong and delicious, just like I like em. Lots of space to move around too. 🤗🎤🎉“

“We searched 20 min for a parking spot during peak dinner rush. It was worth every minute! Our party of 5 ordered udon, kebabs, BBQ pork, & sizzling Bibimbap. All happy customers & rated it the #1 dinner of our 4 (so far) in San Francisco.“

“This place is perfect. It is so cheap for the amount of food they give you and it tastes amazing. I am truly in love with this place and will go back whenever I am in the mission. You can get a small plate for 10 dollars or a regular sized one for around 13. A regular is a huge portion of food and for the price and quality I think it’s unbeatable. It can take a while to get the food as they make it as you order but it’s definitely worth the wait.“

“I was a little skeptical at first because the outside and surrounding area are pretty unassuming, but Sofra Grill was a great surprise. The inside is much nicer than I expected, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The portions are very generous—we really enjoyed our meal and still had plenty to take home. We also tried the kunafa for dessert, which was really good (we ate it before remembering to take a picture!). Definitely a place we’d come back to.“

“Great food and service. I highly recommend this place for date night, family and friends. The only downside is parking is hard to come by in this neighborhood.“

“Ok, this is great food! Awesome Barbecue and Fried Chicken. Menu is on the website. Don’t forget to tip!“

“The food was very delicious! I loved everything I ordered! Ribs, beef brisket, chicken, potato salad, Mac-N-Cheese, and sausage! I highly recommend eating here.“

“Really good Chinese BBQ place. All of the bread items we tried were flaky and tasty, highly recommend the brown sugar one. The skewers were all solid, and I appreciated that the beef had a more teriyaki-style flavor, because too much cumin starts to get a bit sameish. In that regard, you should consider getting an order of the lettuce leaves to use as a wrap for the skewers, it's a great palette cleanser and adds some nice texture.

Would love to go again, but it's a bit far from my house and Chinese BBQ isn't something you can do too frequently.“

“My family comes here or does take out once every month or so. Favorites are the char siu and duck which just hits the spot. Service is truly exceptional from being greeted at the door to attentive table service throughout. They are so welcoming to my child and that level of attention and care (consistently) is just so rare these days. Just a wonderful place all around.“

“Really enjoyed our dinner here! We skipped the famous sampler platter since we weren’t super hungry and just ordered a few things that sounded good.
- The beef tongue was a bit chewier than I expected - definitely had to work at it.
- Oxtail stew was tasty but they went a little heavy on the green onions.
- Pork jowl had great flavor and that nice fatty richness, though I wish it had been a touch more tender.
- Whole marinated short rib was absolutely incredible. So tender and juicy, honestly the star of the show.

Worth coming back for that alone. Good meal overall with one dish that really knocked it out of the park!“

“Best BBQ I've ever eaten! Moist, great smoke AND nice people!“

“Best roast duck & rice plate in SF for $11. I've patronize Top's Cafe since forever! Before covid this was full service restaurant. Still serving the community as a deli like service. Come and enjoy the flavors! You won't be disappointed.“
