Restaurants in San Francisco

“Liholiho is a fantastic restaurant! The space is modern and beautifully designed, with an open kitchen where you can watch everything being prepared, which adds a lot of energy and transparency to the dining experience.

The service was very friendly, attentive, and quick. The cocktails were excellent, and even the non-alcoholic one I ordered was made with care and tasted great.

The food was outstanding. The bun with beef tongue was extraordinary, the tuna tartare and ceviche were perfectly balanced and fresh, and the shrimps with crispy rice were especially memorable. All dishes showed creativity, originality, and were prepared with high quality ingredients.

For three people, including first and main courses, drinks, and one dessert, the bill came to $260, which I found fair for this level of quality. The only minus point is that the restaurant does not offer coffee, which would have been a nice way to finish the meal.

Overall, I really enjoyed everything at Liholiho. Highly recommended, and I hope I will get to return again!”

“The food in this restaurant is delicious, I hope you have time to try it.”

“Amazing food and wine, great view”

“everything about the restaurant, from the heated outdoor dining, people who work there, the food so deliciously great especially the one that prepares and cook it, THE CHEFS, amazingly incredible they are and not so pricey above all.”

“This family-run restaurant more than live up to the 5-star reviews and our daughter’s recommendation. What a nice experience: from making the reservation to friendly greeting on arrival, through delicious dessert. Authentic HK cuisine draws SF locals and visitors from all over Asia. Server helped us pick a variety of dim sum and other dishes for our party of 6. Beyond the terrific dumplings, our favorites were Drunken Chicken, Steamed Chilean Seabass, Seafood Ma Po Tofu, Ribeye with Mushroom, and Gai Choy. For dessert we split Egg Yolk Cake, Fried Sesame Ball, and Mango Pudding. We’ll be back, and I highly recommend the restaurant.”

“We came for drinks before a dinner reservation across the street. Very inventive and yummy cocktail, but two cocktails and tip was >$50
No drink is really worth that. Took us maybe 15 minutes at the bar to drink them. Eh”

“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!”

“Food was very tasty and well prepared, staff attentive and responsive, ambience is perfect”

“Their service is fast, friendly, and the food is delicious!!!”

“My friend, Mike, who lives nearby with his wife, raved about it so much that my BF and I decided to come after a short trip to Marin. It was everything that he described and more. It was fantastic! Excellent food and atmosphere. Will definitely add to my list of favorites and will recommend to my Palo Alto friends!”

“We had dinner there and the food was delicious…. The fried quail was the star. The starters were excellent. Very recommended restaurant”

“A great way to experience a four course meal at an affordable price, with delicious food. We will definitely be back.”

“Holy Schnike!!! The food is incredibly delicious, the non-seafood versions I am getting are the most amazing tastes. The Wines paired with the dishes are inspired and spot on.”

“What a treat! Highly recommend”

“I've ordered delivery from here 5 times.
Solid food (except the one time I had a scale in my sushi roll). Not bad service (wish they'd be more accommodating with requests). Takes too damn long to make (~80 min ETA every time on DoorDash).

Prefer Sushi Shio. every. single. time.

P.S. will add more photos of the food if I ever order from here again.”

“Gotta make the trip to this spot, don’t even hesitate. Everything is fire 🔥

The tacos were perfect. Super moist without being an insane mess. Horchata on point.”

“Awesome yummy food with a friendly atmosphere and Great Service”

“Visiting San Francisco all the way from Texas and we 100% recommend this family friendly restaurant. The food was authentic and delicious. We left no crumbs. The customer service was also amazing. Muchas gracias por todo! Volveremos muy pronto!”

“Amazing service and food!!!!”

“Absolutely delicious thin crust pizzas, with very innovative combinations! Service is generally slow though, with significant waiting times over weekend. Their tomato basil mozzarella pizza and flourless chocolate cake are really good!”

“Everything we ordered was good. In fact we couldn’t eat it all. Your pizza was so delish! Never had chow fun wrapped up in little rolls but it was pretty good. Your shaking beef salad was good too. Definitely a dining experience in Asian fusion!”

“Takes Mexican cuisine to a completely different universe, one that I want to live in. Bold, amazing flavors. The staff is excellent and not pretentious. We eat at Michelin restaurants every week, this food is at the top of our list.”

“One of the best tasting pizza I’ve tasted I highly recommend this place.”

“Lovely friendly Italian wine bar and delicious restaurant. Fresh innovative salads, pastas and main courses. Highly recommended.”

“One of our favorite spots in SF! The food and service is always great and the wine list is excellent. And the experience is never rushed. We will continue coming back for years to come!”

“Cozy place, great location, loving people, delicious food and drinks - any time of day! 💕🌷 I stop in as often as I can.”

“fantastic little restaurant - excellent wine list and great beef bourgogne”

“Great atmosphere, impeccable service, friendly & welcoming staff. Most of all, great food. This is our second time and it didn’t disappoint. We’re visiting from SoCal in Orange County. Thank you!”

“The chicken tangine was superb...very tasty, moist,tender. Mourad can lay claim to the best chicken in San Francisco! The basteeya was so delicious with all the Moroccan spices and light flakey phyllo pastry. The plates came out looking like pieces of art.”

“Get there early if you want a seat. Their Whiskey Sour is absolutely perfect And they have actual food if you like that kind of stuff🍸🍹”

“We walked in on NYE without a reservation and they graciously found us a spot in the bar area. Service was on point and staff were festively dressed! I love a crafty cocktail but most are too sweet. I had the Smokey mezcal cocktail 🍹. Perfection. Appetizers were delish as well. Perfect way to start our NYE celebrations.”

“I went to KEN for my birthday and it was absolutely phenomenal. The fish was delicious; so many new flavors and combinations; the chef was superb - talented and entertaining, with great attention to detail. The service was impeccable. I cannot say enough good things!”

“Best Omakase in town.”

“I cannot say I had a bad experience. Everything was my favorite”

“I felt like we were back in a Michelin starred restaurant in Provence eating here. I loved sitting at the counter and watching the sou chefs prepare and dress the dishes. It was the first time since then that we got to enjoy Monkfish. A rare find! And cooked beautifully with a light curry sauce. We did the 4 course option and were stuffed after, it was a lot of food but well priced! The strawberry gelato desert with geranium foam was a memorable and perfect ending to the rich meal. The staff was attentive. We will definitely go back as they change their menu daily. Truly an unexpected gem to find on a random corner of the mission.”

“Arrived solo while waiting for a mate and was instantly looked after by the lovely bartender & manager—genuinely great chat and brilliant drink recs. The “punch special” is chaos in a glass (a mix of whatever’s going—but cheap and fun if you’re brave). Music was random, the pool table was lively, and people were even sending drinks to strangers, which gave the whole place a buzzy, friendly feel. It’s the perfect mix of dive bar energy with proper service and solid drinks. Not polished, not trying to be—just effortlessly cool. Definitely worth a visit, and I’d happily go back.”

“Best vegan meal I’ve ever had, went twice in a four days it was that good ❤️”

“Best non-traditional sushi that I've ever eaten”

“Great environment, lively, and tasty food!”

“My friends and I have been wanting to come here for a while and we finally made it. Took advantage of their HH and got one of everything from that menu. Our favorite dish was the oysters and also the mussels which we kept ordering over and over. Deviled eggs and popcorn shrimp were okay, but the cod tacos were just ehh. One of the employees was super nice while others weren't as much. Overall it was okay and we may go back.”

“Wonderful restaurant with terrific food and service. We share the seasonal salad and the stuffed calamari to start. Both were excellent. My wife had a wonderful pasta stuffed with pea puree and in a pea sauce. I had a stuffed pasta with cheese. Both were exceptional. The olive oil cake finished the night. Fine wine list with many affordable offerings. We had a bottle of Arnie's and it was just right. The service is very attentive from the reception to the goodby.”

“Big love from Korea! the food was fantastic, and the service was friendly and warm

Although we were foreigners, there was nothing difficult enjoying the course.

The dishes were very creative. Flavor of the ingredients was harmonious, recipe was very creative.

Thanks a lot for the fantastic dinner!”

“Every dish truly amazed me!
The flavors, presentation, and attention to detail were outstanding.
I’m a huge fan of uni, and theirs was absolutely delicious — fresh, rich, and unforgettable.
The chef and staff were incredibly warm and attentive, which made the whole experience even better.
Highly recommend!”

“Amazing dining experience. Worth the price”

“Food is incredible and the service is second to none. Best place in the marina.”

“Needed to pick up a quick dessert after enjoying the most amazing pizza a few doors down at Outta Sight. Gateway drew us in with their stacks of pink donut boxes--an immediate sign that this is a legit donut place. Our go-tos: blueberry and crunch which were immediately recognizable in the glass case. The lady behind register was very friendly and before we could assume it was cash only, she brought the POS out for us to tap and go. Gotta love it when a humble mom & pop keeps up w/tech. One excited bite out of each donut and we knew that Gateway would be our fav shop in the city. These donuts are AMAZING. They're fresh but more interestingly, they're sweet without being sickening (think opposite spectrum of a Krispy Kreme). I'm sure there's some kind of sorcery involved behind the recipe, but whatever they're doing is incredible. Even the small detail like the blueberry colored dough inside the donut is testament to their special touch. By the way, 2 donuts only cost us $3.75! What a deal.”

“CJ and team are excellent. The commissary is well maintained with all the equipment you'd need and if they don't have something they are open to working with you to figure out a solution. Super helpful staff and overall good people that you're sharing the space with. Would definitely recommend if you have a food business and need a licensed commercial kitchen. The staff are responsive and action-oriented which feels essential when working in a shared space.”

“Open late night after a show for munchie sustenance. Mostly donuts, but the lemon square bomb. They had drinks too. Filled bar was all wonky and didnt get filled right, kinda spendy, but appreciate they were open late!”

“Best staff at any JIB! They greeted me as I entered, they were courteous, fast and efficient . I have new weekly appointment in that neighborhood; so I will most likely be stopping by to get my Chocolate Shake fix!”

“😋😋 good eating experience”

“Fast service but wasn’t much customer at the first it always slow down”

“Like a lot of other food places, at present, in the City of San Francisco, no restroom. Not even for paying customers. Accepts EBT Food, for anyone that might need to know.”

“Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas.”

“Hands down the best focaccia in the SF Bay Area. The pizza and raisin are my favorite. I've been coming here since the early 80s. You need to get here early because once they are sold out. They will closeshop.”

“Had a wonderful time at Sandy’s! Their sandwiches are so tastyyy and they have THE BEST coleslaw in the world, very dill forward. Great service too, everyone is so kind”

“This is a must. We cannot come to San Francisco without making a stop. Had the daily pizza special - mushroom and Gruyère cheese - it was heavenly. Also suggest grabbing some of their breadsticks. Imagine the best pizza crust you’ve ever had topped with butter and parm. You can’t go wrong”

“From momos to aromatic curries, each dish is a burst of Nepalese tradition and taste. Friendly service and reasonable prices make it a must-visit for anyone craving a taste of Nepal in the heart of the USA.”

“~This is such an amazing little Detroit Red Top style pizza joint w/ unique locally sourced fresh ingredients. The staff are attentive, accommodating & pleasant to interact w/. They really make you feel welcome like you are eating a pie @ a friend's place. There isn't a bad item on the menu. I always look forward to coming back!¡!🤤😋~”

“great food and cocktails, bread to die for”

“Really sumptuous lobster roll. The butter flavoured brioche was loaded with a generous amount of fresh lobster meat. It was not overly seasoned which allowed the original lobster savouriness to shine through. The price doesn't come cheap but it's still worth it given the large portion and quality of the lobster. It was definitely the best lobster roll I have ever had.”

“Great food and the best margaritas.”

“Cute little place, limited seating but great service and food.

The croissant sandwich was nice but the avocado ricotta toast was out of the world”

“Great tasty stop at the end of the day. Love the friendly staff”

“Another brilliant visit to Sorrel and Alex Hong continues to reign as my current favorite Chef! 🤘🏼If you haven’t been to Sorrel, go. Total genius.”

“I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. I am a business owner a few doors down and I wandered in with a friend after work one night about a month ago. We were met with such incredible warmth from the staff and the environment itself, even without a reservation. We sat at the bar and were greeted by Josh, only to find out later that he is the owner. He made excellent recommendations on everything from our drinks to dessert. The bar didn’t feel isolated from the rest of the restaurant and guests, but rather was lively hub frequented by kitchen and serving staff and warmed by a smoldering wood fire. The coziest. We swooned for the poke appetizer, complete with house-made toasted, but not crisp, blue corn tortillas. The pork shoulder tacos—also to die for. I have to say though, that the star on the sidelines was the beans. I honestly didn’t know I could feel this way about beans…but I digress. Josh bounced around from table to table all night, never letting a single ball drop, making every guest feel like *his* guest. A pot de crème sealed the evening in perfect bliss. I’m back a month later with the same friend, eating different and somehow even more incredible entrees: ribeye, halibut and a rhubarb crisp for dessert. I scarcely ever take the time to write a review as I prefer to vote with my $ and my feet, but I simply couldn’t eat here again without taking the time to sing it’s praises. Eat here.”

“Really great spot with delicious and healthy options. I went for the mixed grill, and the portions were generous and satisfying. The Seedlip non-alcoholic drinks were an unexpected and delightful surprise!”

“The ingredients, the flavors, they're all top-notch.”

“We saw there was a long line and figured it must be really good? We got a slice of pizza and it did not disappoint! The pizza melted in your mouth and had so much flavor! We really enjoyed trying it!”

“Very intimidated by the long line out side but they were very very efficient! The signature ramen was Devine! The egg perfect! The duck matcha was super fun but beware it might keep you up! We got edamame and the fried mushrooms too which came out in what felt like seconds. The mushrooms I will be thinking about for all time.”

“One of the greatest dining experiences I’ve ever had. Each dish was so incredible because of its seasonal selection of ingredients and exquisite presentation.
The staff were very attentive, and the atmosphere was so colorful that we wish we could stay all night 🙌”

“Loved the wine cellar seating, though no bartender that bar mid-week. Service was great, only slowed by the staff needing to go upstairs for everything. Veal was too salty; calamari and prosciutto with melon excellent. House pasta also excellent. Very fun.”

“Watermelon 🍉 Roll; no rice, refreshingly good Fried seafood chips appetizer; I wanted it as a meal it’s a different yum 😋 Ice cream sandwich wow!”

“Bring on the funny 😁 happy anniversary Lisa good times great atmosphere!!!”

“Amazing food, attentive and knowledgable service made for a memorable first night in San Francisco!!!!”

“Excellent food! The prix fixed tasting menu was very generous and delicious. We were stuffed!”

“Best dining experience I’ve had since I moved here. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. My new favorite restaurant 💚💚💚”

“Amazing service. Delicious food. A beautiful space. While it's quite different than the previous location, the whole omakase experience is quite special. Expensive but worth it!”

“Amazing food and service! Sake is the best!”

“Best gelato in San Francisco.”

“Really good pizzas! Loved the crusts and the sauce.”

“awesome wine experience. Chris and his team are really dedicated sommeliers and love sharing their knowledge with you. i highly recomend this place. welcome to the world of wines.”

“The food smacks and the music they play always slaps.”

“Amazing food at a great price”

“Great hangar steak and cod. We also got the white truffle risotto which wasn’t worth it in my opinion. Appetizers were light but the poached egg was well seasoned. Larger dessert portions than I expected!”

“Great food and ambience here!”

“The view is comfortable and the dishes are exquisite. It is highly recommended.”

“썰 was an memorable experience. Every dish was beautifully executed. For a Korean American, the ingredients were an emotional process. While each dish focused on/showcased the high quality of ingredients, the flavors were a nuanced balance between Korean and Western cultures. Choosing quality over local at each crossroads, many evoked memories of my Korean childhood.

The lynchpin for this beautiful evening was when the chef unexpectedly spent time with us; shared a rare insight behind the scenes. At our table, few were from the East Coast or not Korean American, thus not realizing the backstory to arriving to this moment. I so appreciate the honesty as validated the constant struggle between balancing Korean/American expectations, especially in this time/place. To tie such a diverse audience, the chef executes well.”

“One of the Best Omakase Experience we had!”

“Tasting menu was tailored for the 4 vegetarians/pescatarians out of 5 in our group. Each item was very tasty and we enjoyed to the last bite. Servers were very professional and knew their stuff. Since we were there for our anniversary, we received a card from them which basically thanked us for making them part of our celebration. Classy touch!”

“Loved the decor and the vibe，great place to hang out with friends.The food was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot on.If you're in the area, this place is a must-try!”

“Excellent Japanese cuisine, service and staff are wonderful and helpful”

“An exceptional dining experience”

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

“I really never have enjoyed tasting menus….but Tiya’s tasting menu fully changed my opinion on them. 4/6 dishes were things I probably wouldn’t have ordered on a regular menu so getting to try these dishes was a treat. We supplemented the tasting menu with the chicken gushtaba and the shrimp. They were both so good but the gushtaba was outstanding….Think a chicken meatball in fondue.
Everything was a flavor bomb and I would definitely come back”

“Rich dishes, very delicious”

“Brilliant flavor combinations and beautiful presentation. The gaeng bumbai aubergine has the the right amount of heat without being overpowering.”

“From the minute we walked in, we felt incredibly special. Our server, the sommelier and the staff serving our food delivered such an outstanding experience for my new college graduate and us. Our daughter just moved to the city so we will be back! ❤️”

“ALWAYS a fantastic and tasty dinner. ☺️”

“This review is particularly for the Ilna pop-up on Sunday nights. Maz, the chef, cooks with so much passion. He collects the best ingredients from local farmer's markets, even using his background as a wine maker to create special ferments, and shares his family's Lebanese origins with so much care in each dish. The meatball and prosciutto are not to be missed!”

“Simply THE best deli in SF!!”

“Awesome Tiki Bar and a must visit if your into Tiki or themed bars”

“Best Japanese Curry in town !”

“It's amazing, I highly recommend everyone to go here”

“Great costumer service. 👌”

“Really nice fair..lovely Americana incredible surprise in the Sunset.exactly what soccer player needs for good fuel.from salads to wings to DIE FOR!!!this place is 55.or even 5.2/5..craft well and sauces..REALLY...great street vibe or in back quiet.”

“A very cozy place in the financial district. Even though we went on a weekend, there were still a lot of people working there. Their pour over coffee is reasonably priced and they also provide coffee beans in the shop. I like the paintings they have inside. The coffee also comes with a postcard telling us where the coffee beans come from and the history, which I think is very nice. If you like coffee, I recommend giving this place a try.”

“absolutely delicious absolutely delicious delicious New pizzeria I love it clean the crust is excellent”

“Breakfast is definitely the best thing here.”

“I know where Lucy Borden’s remains are. She was delicious. Barbecue was great, but the menudo was the best!”

“For me, this is the ideal lunch place. consistentlyDelicious rotisserie chicken rice bowl and soup with healthy veggies..pleasant atmosphere and friendly service.”

“My favorite drink at Abanico is Pinolillo, which is a traditional Nicaraguan drink made from cacao. Delicious and frothy and yummy with Almond milk.”

“Every drink is handled with care.”

“This is a hole in the wall type restaurant with old school Chinese service and food. For those that don’t know what that means don’t expect five star service and atmosphere. You aren’t paying high prices here at all. You come here for the food if it’s to your taste which it is for me. Beef roll pancakes and green beans are my favorites. Cash only.”

“Excellent, all around. The food continues to be delicious and plentiful. The owners (5 brothers) and a sister are exceptional. Brother #5 takes the time to meet with his patrons in the midst of cooking! A special place to dine.”

“We visit ISA several times a year, and we’ve always been delighted with the food and service. Their classic dishes are a welcome relief from other restaurants attempts to be unique but failing the good taste test.”

“We stop Here every time we go through San Francisco. Their coffee is marvelous and the pastries we have tried are delicious. The atmosphere is definitely San Francisco neighborhood welcoming and the mural Inside reminds me of an Italian village. Don’t miss this stop.”

“Visited this place about a month ago while in Oakland. Went to San Fran because the person I visited raved about it. Awesome service the noodles were one of a kind and the crab was delicious!!!”

“The oldest hotpot restaurant in San Francisco. Good food, supper broth, always great place for big groups.”

“One65 was an amazing discovery on our trip to San Francisco. Having spent the first half of our life in Montréal, Québec, Canada where it was hard to find a bad restaurant, we were absolutely amazed by this Bistro which looks more like a high end dining experience. The menu online & the photos attracted us to this location but we were amazed by the well timed service, the crisp white tablecloths, the table setting and the pleasant and calm atmosphere. My choices of charcuterie platter was perfectly sized; the chicken & the pork rillettes where a wonderful surprise. My husband had an onion tart with the crust as perfect as they get & which I envied. He loved his halibut, moist and tender and I raved over my grilled half lobster, so tender that I found myself munching on the shell parts as well. My bread pudding was not of overwhelming size & perfectly flavored. Don chose the Affogato (scoop of vanilla gelato « drowned » with a shot of hot espresso). We wanted to go back today but they are closed on Sundays.?”

“Besides the great Ramen Tan tan, make sure you get the fried chicken, Karage, only in japan i had it so good, the best in SF, a real japanese restaurant!!!”

“Definitely San Francisco Bay areas. Best burgers, amazing fish and chips very favorable, savory kebabs and great tasting Gyros.”

“Menu is fun and unique. The Beignets and Crispy Collard greens are AMAZING!!! Can't wait to go back and try more dishes.”

“I lived in the Middle East and what Mezze and Mooore offers is of the same high standard as the best restaurants in Beirut.”

“The food was excellent and mouth watering! The staff, friendly and attentive. I highly recommend.”

“Overall the food is good and staff are nice. One dish I ordered never got entered to the kitchen but even though servers were aware, the issue didn't get fixed or addressed despite asking twice. Other than that, it's a good new neighborhood addition.”

“This restaurant is great in everyway , the food,the crew ,the coffee (ufff excelent) and the place in general is great to relax and enjoit every moment you're there.”

“When people say the food is good, they mean the food is good. But when I say chef Toby's food is GOOD, I mean you can taste the potency of the flavors, the presentation is colorful and enticing, and the atmosphere of his pop-ups, events, and store-front.”

“My wife and I celebrated her birthday by spending a few days exploring San Francisco, and we enjoyed her birthday dinner at Waterbar. Our experience was exceptional. Our waiter took great care of us, offering a special way to enjoy the Maine lobster. The staff also showed thoughtfulness by providing a signed birthday card for her, and we were delighted with lovely birthday bites at the end of our meal. The standout dish was definitely the Maine lobster, and the corn chowder was incredibly flavorful. I would gladly return for a special occasion and highly recommend this restaurant for celebrations.”

“Sooooooooooooooooooo delicious”

“The food is sooooo good and delicious with a very nice ambiance and atmosphere in their patio dining ..”

“We ordered Hot Brownie Fudge Sundae which was utterly delicious. The Hot Cocoa classic was good as well. The place was packed, so we waited for them to clear a table for two. You place your buzzer in the middle of your table, and someone brings your order.

Be warned that the prices are really high - nearly $19 for one sundae! This is a major tourist trap, in California, and you are paying for, well, the experience.”

“Worth i. The view is everything and the food delicious”

“super good food and our waiter was awesome”

“Good service and good food😋”

“The vibe is crazy!!! DJ is great food is great!!! Service super great!!!!! Highly recommended!!!!”

“Great Food and Service will always come back when visiting San Francisco”

“Great place for dim sum and good service”

“Fantastic experience at Bix. Great service, amazing atmosphere and delicious food.😋”

“Delicious steak, paired with red wine.😉”

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!”

“Excellent food and service, and quiet ambience, so you can still hear yourself think.”

“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.😋”

“A great recent addition, good for dates and visitors. The staff was clearly well trained and very conscientious. It was only about half full at 7 PM on a Friday, let’s hope they can continue a great work with busier seatings. No “SF mandate” scam charges!”

“Nouvelle Asian cuisine. We enjoyed the tasting menu, which offered many delicious and artistically presented courses including two desserts, all for a reasonable (by San Francisco standards) $120 per person + drinks + taxes + tips, bringing the actual total to $200 per person.
The Happy Crane cocktail made is a gimlet style drink, small yet so tasty that one of us ordered two of them!
Each course was presented promptly. Understandably, given the rapid rise in popularity of this new dining spot, some of the wait staff appeared to be still in training. That said, servers were eager to please and friendly.”

“We saw there was a long line and figured it must be really good? We got a slice of pizza and it did not disappoint! The pizza melted in your mouth and had so much flavor! We really enjoyed trying it!”

“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!!!”

“Super super aesthetic and food are amazing. The bread on Sake Clam was the hit!! So crunchy thin layer outside and warm soft inside.

The Kampachi is great too. Music was super vibey. Love”

“I have been dining at the original Crustaceans restaurant for over 30 years. From 1st dates to special celebrations and more. I was SHOCKED when it closed. Then I was delighted and wowed by this new Crustacean restaurant. Improved menu, with the traditional classic world famous Roasted Crab & Garlic Noodles. This new spot is the NEXT LEVEL of opulence and enjoyment. I look forward to at least 30 more years of loyal patronage. My only dig is they have no loyalty program that rewards loyal customers like me who have introduced hundreds of new customers to the restaurant over the years. WHERE IS THE LOVE? I should get some type of recognition 🤔 😌 LOL”

“Super cute wine bar just across the street from Cafe Zoetrope. We were there for a calligraphy class but my daughter was feeling ill so we sat outside for a bit. The sommelier was kind and empathetic; he offered us waters and was talking to her to make her feel less embarrassed. While we were waiting, he even helped a lady park her car. So while we didn't have wine or food, the service is top notch and we'll go back!”

“Been here a couple of times & tried different items everytime. Everything I tasted was yummy! Coffee is nice & strong. The staff is always happy & welcoming.”

“They were playing great music. And I just have to say shoutout to our waiter who when I asked about the playlist was so happy to share that he had picked it, and he pulled up his Spotify to share the playlist with us! So so appreciate it and all the Sade vibes we got to experience while dining! 😊”

“Easily the best casual Thai restaurant in SF. There. I said it.

The noodle dishes and curries are fantastic. Everything is super flavorful, fresh, and well-balanced. The owners are also very welcoming and attentive.

If you like Thai food, this is the one.”

“Great flavors come off the woks at Nan King Road Bistro. The whole menu is worth ordering.”

“I rarely order takeout, but today I was feeling so sick, with a cough and my bronchitis flaring up, and I really needed something warm and comforting. I found this place — Tikal Restaurante y Panaderia — and it felt like a blessing from God. The food here is simple, but it’s made with so much love and care that it feels like it was made by my mom or grandma.

I ordered the Sopa de Res and the Tamales de Pollo, and both dishes were absolutely perfect. The soup was flavorful, hearty, and exactly what I needed to feel better — like a homemade cure. The tamale was soft and delicious, so comforting.

Thank you, Tikal, for making my day a little brighter and warmer. I highly recommend the Sopa de Res and the Tamales de Pollo. I will definitely order from here again whenever I need that comforting, home-cooked feeling. 🔝😊”

“It’s been years since I went to this bar. We had just visited the Institute of Contemporary Art of San Francisco across the street. It was that sweet spot where some bars or restaurants don’t open until 4pm. We decided to stop by since it was open and it looked cozy plus they had the game on. The staff was accommodating in pushing seats and tables to accommodate the group. Prices were a bit steep so we only stayed for one drink. Seems like it’s a bar mainly for hotel guests from what we could see.”

“I got the iced strawberry matcha latte and it was good. While the drinks are good, the main appeal of this place for me is the environment. We’re so lucky in the Bay Area to have many great matcha and coffee places but this cafe is uniquely spacious, cozy, and cute. I would come back here to get a nice drink and also enjoy being in a nice, quiet place. I’m not sure if it’s always so quiet but I went around closing time and it was pretty quiet despite there being a fair amount of people there. There’s also interesting tiger syrup that you can add to drinks, which you can’t find many other places.”

“I ordered an iced vanilla latte, but they didn’t have vanilla and gave me brown sugar instead. Omg it was so delicious !! Strong coffee and perfect sweetness. Can’t wait to get it again 😋”
