“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 “
“This place is adorable and really hit the spot! Yoyo was SO sweet and even gave me free mushroom soup and 2 cookies!!Pros: I really enjoyed meeting Yoyo. $19 for a bento box and bubble tea is a good value, and the meal was satisfying and filling with a lot of variety. I love the colorful, cheery feel inside as well.Cons: The food is 3.5-4 stars, but I’m giving 5 stars for the really kind people who work there and the vibe! The soup was a bit too salty for my taste, and I wish the tuna steak was more rare and had less pepper on it/had more interesting flavoring. It was encrusted with black pepper and salt. I ordered seaweed salad in my Bento box, but got regular salad; salad was good though, so not an issue.I would like to see a few more healthy and vegetarian options here. Overall, I loved the feel of this place and the people running it, so I’ll definitely be back to try more options. Wish I lived closer so I could come here more often!Vegetarian options: I really appreciated that they did not charge extra for oat milk instead of dairy; many places upcharge a lot for this. Otherwise, it is mostly fish and meat centered and vegetarian options are unfortunately limited. I wish they would add veggie gyoza (currently only chicken), a tofu sandwich, and a few other veggie options.“
“At the end of the meal, one dish stood out as something truly special--the charred cabbage salad. The name is totally not inspiring, right? But trust our whole table of foodies that you will want to order this and have an entire order to yourself. I wouldn't ruin the surprise beyond that. Another dish that's yummy is their shrimp/pork toast. 2 toasts per order. I was a bit incensed the restaurant wouldn't allow adding a toast for a party of three. Please, u can do better. For those liking something subtle, try their porridge of the night. Fyi, we were told it was times up after 90 minutes of dining. Ya, I don't believe that's following industry standards. Maybe next time, I'll just walk-in and have that salad at the bar and be done and happy.“
“You can tell a spot is a good food establishment when you see all the hard-working folks pulling up. Not in the best neighborhood, but life isn't perfect. Had to check out their comfort food. They didn't miss. Delicious(deep fried) chicken. rice, and potatoes alongside coleslaw. Got to support more of Latino Chinese restaurant.. they even gave me a tea“
“Favorite Indian cuisine spot in the bay area, tbh. The medium is actually spicy, like 1/5 of an Indian chili pepper and the max heat is the spice of an entire Indian chili pepper. That jawn was fire, would do it again, 10/10.The goat curry was really well done, however, some pieces had an absurd amount of bones so it's hard. The shrimp curry was amazing. I'd 100% recommend it. Get it medium and you'll be wigging out, most of you, anyways.The Momo's are alright. I wouldn't get them again, at least the vegetarian ones. The sauce also isn't anything crazy to go with it. It's overall pretty mid.“
“I've waited years to go to this place and it was an outstanding show. Unfortunately we did not like the food, and that was a little disappointing at the price point. But the ladies were amazing! And the atmosphere was so much fun. I would go back for a pop-up show if it did not include dinner.Vegetarian options: I had the orange tofu with cucumber salad, and my partner had the Malaysian cauliflower with Curry. Neither one of them were very good. The cheesecake for dessert was a very weird texture too.“
“Was going to take a friend visiting to Son and Garden, but this popped up and was on the way. We walked in on a Sunday at 10am with no reservation and were seated immediately. Great service. Great food. Great atmosphere (other than the tables being a little too close together). I now prefer this over S+G. It feels like the cool younger sibling“
“Excellent food and service at this Chinese/Vietnamese restaurant in the Sunset area. We shared a set menu of Roasted Dungeness Crab that came with a small but delicious Cabbage Chicken Salad (Goi Ga), Imperial Rolls (Cha Gio), and buttery Garlic Fried Noodles. The Fried Chicken Wings were crispy but on the sweet side. The food came out promptly and our waitress was friendly and checked on us frequently. Prices were on par with other similar SF establishments. Reservations are recommended, as the restaurant was full on a rainy weeknight when we were thefe. Parking was rather hard to find, so give yourself time, or better yet, don't drive!“
“Must try!! I love this restaurant! Amazing food, lovely ambience, great service and staff :) every time I come here I always have a good time. Thank you to Sung and everyone at Kothai for a great birthday dinner!! Bonus - its right on the N haha ❤️Dietary restrictions: They offer vegan and vegetarian options“
“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!“
“I was very excited to eat Filipino food again for the first time in years after I stopped eating meat. ✨ This location was very clean, there's standing coubterop seating inside and plenty of patio seating in the back. During dinner rush, I've seen a line even during weekdays. ⚡ The staff is friendly and the food was ready quickly. ? Got the Señor Sisig Bowl with tofu, medium spicy, and it was OK. The flavor overall was sweet, not savory enough, missing acidity to brighten it up. I don't like sweet chili sauce and it tasted and looked like the tofu was marinated in it. The garlic rice wasn't garlicy. The medium spice level was nice, not too spicy for a whole meal. I'd try the vegan chicken next time. ? Pretty good value, ~$14 + tax“
“I have eaten here four times now and every meal is incredible, and for an airport hotel restaurant, truly unbelievable. The hotel is lovely in every way, miles beyond the alternatives. But the restaurant is one of the reasons I stay here whenever I have a morning flight. Tonight had the lobster miso bisque, and the seared scallops, and I don't think I've had better versions of either in a decade. The scallops and the lobster were as tender as they could ever be and the flavors were amazing. Service and ambience is great too. They have wines by the glass that you normally must pay for a bottle - and a first rate twist on a Paper Plane if you're a cocktail person. Be sure to get a table by the window to watch the planes...“
“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.“
“The pancakes and chicken waffles are expertly prepared, arriving fresh and hot. Upon discovering this spot, I noticed the lengthy queue, so you know it’s good and worth the wait. Arriving before the noon rush ensured a peaceful atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly, clearly passionate about their craft. The flavors were delightfully infectious, and the sauces were generously portioned. The wings were perfectly crispy without being greasy. Coming back with friends.“
“My wife and I went to Outer Orbit for the first time recently on a date night. The food was great, the prices were reasonable, the staff were attentive and the ambiance was light and fun. I highly recommend checking it out. Parking can be an issue, (It's the mission district) it is what it is... 4 out of 5 stars “
“I've frequented Kitchen Story for years, and always enjoyed it there. The staff are friendly, kind, and fun to chat with, and the place is generally lovely for a casual late morning brunch.Definitely recommend the millionaire's bacon flight, which is (to me) what they're known for. The omurice is great too!“
“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.“
“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!“
“Cute place. Went for lunch and it was very quiet. Nice and relaxing. A decent amount of tables inside. And it’s very bright and airy.The Kung pao chicken wasn’t spicy at all. It tasted very good though, and the rice was cooked perfectly.The Shanghai soup dumplings had great flavor. And are on the small side, you can eat them in one bite. The shrimp tempura was very crispy. The vegetable pot stickers had lots of veggies packed in like corn and spinach.The bubble tea I got just tasted like milk. It was pretty large though and I got double boba and the cheese foam. The boba was super fresh and very good.I liked that they had a bathroom but the toilet water was brown and all on the inside of the toilet was brown and it grossed me out.Though overall I def recommend!“
“Food was great and staff are polite.You order on an iPad and bring your food out to you, which was to use easy and convenient.Too much plastic waste for dine in orders though. Trash can was overflowing from disposable containers thrown out by customers exiting the restaurant.“
“In a nutshell; despite how busy it was, line rather went by quickly, food is top tier, it is cafeteria style eatery but the upon and tempura is worth it.Busy Saturday lunch hour, but I'd say it took about 8-15 mins of being in line before we got to give our order. Food was prepped. as you move along down the line and just grab a few tempura of various food that you fancy, head at the end of the line and just Pay as your food will be good to go. Had to sit outside and see how long the line has gotten. Few birds may surround you and it seemed that the couple on the next table had the unfortunate incident of a bird do a doo-doo on their clothing but seemed like a rare occurrence as it didn't seem to be common as we just enjoyed our meal outside for quite some time with no incident, so I guess just a word of caution. The udon is great regardless of which one you pick and the tempura's crispy crunchy delicious. Overall if you happen to swing by the mall and want good affordable Japanese udon/tempura then this is a place to visit.“
“Fantastic dumplings. We had Dan Dan Noodles, Mission Chicken Pot Stickers (which were yummy!), Tempura Mushrooms, Sichuan Mala Pork Soup Dumplings XLB, Sichuan Dumplings in red oil, Five Spice Tempura Silken Tofu. I usually don't like spicy food but the spice level was manageable.“
“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.“
“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!!“
“HELLO. Quit sleeping on CHIC N' TIME!!! Hands down the best chicken wings and popcorn chicken that I have ever had. If I had to choose a last meal - it'd be the peppercorn chicken wing plate and a side of 16oz chicken broth. If I had an Olympic-size swimming pool, I'd drain it and fill it with the Chic n' Time chicken broth and swim in it daily!!! Real talk - this place is amazing. Also - the owners(?)/employees are the sweetest. I can't say enough good things about this place. 10/10 recommend to everyone. Thank you for coming to my Chicken Talk™“
“Excellent hot pot. The customer service was very friendly and quick to remove our empty plates.The meat qualities were exceptional. We also loved being able to order food with our phone, but just the essentials, there is a nice Buffett to go up and grab vegetables, giblets, snails, tripe, noodles, sauce bar, even a nice $3 juice bar.Really enjoyed their special house sauce. They sauce bar had some super good choices.The soup broths were so delicious. Really clean bathroom.Just an overall top notch hot pot place!“
“Great food and great service. The curry sauce that comes with the fries is really good, and the hanger steak is fire. The peppers onions and mushrooms it’s served with are really good, and the mint chutney is a fantastic addition. Everything came out quickly, and they also packed up our leftovers for us which was awesome.“
“Always a pleasure to taste unique nihonshoku with subtle and delicate flavor profiles. Add to that rarity a well cared for, thoughtfully arranged atmosphere, and you have the makings of a perfect dinner date.Prices are reasonable, the staff was lovely, simply a beautiful dining experience.“
“Great place for a bite before the Orpheum. With so many closures in SF, its one of the few open eating near the theatre. That said, had a 4:30 reservation before the 7:30 show. Its was surprisingly full and looked like lots of theatre-goers. The service was excellent. The food was good. We had calamari and chicken wings appetizers, loco moco, and meatloaf entrees. Killed some time with coffee. Would recommend if you're going to the Orpheum.“
“Glad we caught this place by accident just walking by. Food was superb. Flavourful, delicious beef noodle soup. Also had chicken teriyaki, some dim sum options and spring rolls. Everything was fantastic.Service was attentive, as we were the only ones there. Prices were very reasonable for the area.“
“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.“
“This super cool lounge style bar with yummy bar bites in the sunset district is the only one of it's kind on the west side of the city. The beautiful interiors have tons of seating options for groups large and small. The atmosphere is lively while still feeling laid back. The open room can get loud when busy but remains feeling intimate and cozy in the booths. Warm enough inside to get dressed up on the weekend while still casual for afterwork drinks. I absolutely adore this place and cannot recommend it highly enough.“
“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.“
“The soup dumplings were delicious. Another in the group ordered the Bao and really enjoyed it as well. The staff might be some of the best in all of California. They were insightful when it came to ordering and the food came out extremely fast. Absolutely fantastic!“
“I only wish any of my uncles or titos could cook like this.Maybe an auntie or a tita could, but I dare not say anything bad about their cooking. Ever. Seriously. For those who know, you know.Back to this spot :Lechon is the best I've had in a while. Crispy morsels of pork belly that have that perfect balance of meat, crunch, and rendered fat. Portions are suppose to be more than bite size but it was so good, there's no way you don't eat it whole.Wings are ok. Sauced nicely but the breading is a little heavy.What really caught my attention was the all purpose sauce. To me, it's like a creamy adobo sauce and is crazy delicious. And all purpose doesn't nearly begin to describe what this sauce can be used for. To date, I have yet to find something it doesn't make taste better.Service, for the time being anyway, is pretty good considering it's a shared space.Lastly, the ambiance is at times a sports bar with all the tvs at times but then looks like (from a ton of IG pics) a karaoke party. Either way, fun.Anyways, I look forward to their new location.“
“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.“
“Totally empty on a Tuesday afternoon at lunch time, but that is not a bad thing. The food is pretty average fare, again not a bad thing. The curry with chicken and rice is pretty good. If you stop by, be sure to also stop on at the cable car museum a block over.“
“We’ve driven by beyond cafe many times and finally came to try it. There aren’t many HK cart noodle spots in the city so we were eager to stop by for a taste. We ordered the braised beef brisket noodles and cart noodles (4 options). Most importantly, soup base was piping hot! We will be back!“
“Wanted to leave positive feedback for Steven. Top notch customer service despite being the entire front of the house on his own. It’s obvious the guy loves his job and also knows precisely what he’s doing. Respect for hustle and also for going beyond the call of duty for many of the tables you were responsible for. Cheers!“
“We had always only come for dessert here and the Mango Bliss is a standout. We decided to try the dinner here as we love the "Midnight Diner" type ambiance and the one woman show. And we were blown away - she's such a gifted chef.First to come out was the claypot pork belly with fish and tofu, piping hot, fresh and perfect home cooked taste with a bowl of rice. The short rib and oxtail baked rice with tomato and beef back and noodles in curry sauce on hot plate had such rich, memorable flavors with hunks of meat.Least expected was how good the pad Thai and its large portion. It was tasty and fragrant with delicious toppings and the noodles were fluffy, not greasy at all. Much better than the ones served at many Thai places. My partner was very satisfied.We want to be back as soon as we can!“
“Was in the mood for some Chinese food while house-sitting in the city and found this place on Doordash. At first I thought it looked a bit pricey, but when I was shocked to see that the portions were pretty huge! My husband and I were able to eat our dishes for dinner, lunch the next day, as well as a little snack. When I got my order, everything was piping hot so you know it was made fresh! Chubby Shanghai: I liked the texture of the noodles, but there was something missing flavor-wise. Not sure if it would've been better had I opted to add in a protein? Dumplings in Chili Oil Sauce: Delicious with a kick! If you're sensitive to spicy foods, I would order and eat this with caution. General Tso's Orange Chicken: A classic, and my favorite dish out of the order. You get SO many pieces of chicken and I loved that some of the breading on the orange chicken was still crispy. The amount of sauce they added was perfect and not overdone at all! I think I would have preferred rice over the Chubby Shanghai Noodles since this was packed full of saucy flavor. Overall I would rate this place a 4.5 and would definitely order from them again. They don't have an abundance of dishes like other Chinese restaurants, but I think that's part of the appeal for me - especially when you're starving and don't want to think too hard about what you want to eat. You just know you want some great quality food!“
“I go to wooly pig at least once a week - either for dine in or takeout. I’ve gone for work lunches, dinner with friends, and takeout dinner to eat at home. I love the curry udon with fried chicken and the Asian chicken salad. Honestly I wish I could have this for dinner every single night! The employees are also incredibly friendly and amazing!!“
“I think I could eat Purple Rice's Veggie Soft Tofu stew every day for the rest of my life. I've tried a number of Korean food places in the city and this has by far been the best and most consistently delicious. They're so accommodating with vegetarian/vegan modifications, service is always super quick and kind, and even the takeout is super high quality/great quantity. Their rice cakes jap chae are also delicious! Hope Purple Rice is around forever.“
“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.“
“Their Una Ten Donburi is incredibly delicious! The menu with pictures makes dining in super convenient. The waitress, a sweet lady, recommended the Una Ten Donburi, and I loved it! The eel melts in your mouth, and the tempura fried shrimp is so crispy, like biting into a croissant! Mixing the onsen egg into the rice doubles the deliciousness! The house salad was a bit salty, so I didn't finish it, but overall, it was a satisfying meal. Definitely recommend it to friends!“
“One of the best dumplings I've tried! The line on weekends lunch wasn't too bad, it was about 30min ish. Everything was just on point! I was shocked to see the XLB to be see through but yet it wouldn't break. My favorite was the mala spicy XLB, the soup was delicious with just a little bit of a kick of the numbing spicy flavor! The spicy red chili dumpling was filled with the nutty flavor of peanut with just a dap of chili oil for the fragrance. Hands down one of the best dumpling places that I wouldn't mind waiting in line for~“
