    “I didn’t go to the original Jasmin’s but I always knew it was a legendary spot. I started coming when it became. Tacorea under the owners sons David. They easily had my favorite burrito of all time. I was sad to see Tacorea go. Just wanted to Jasmin’s for the first time the other day and they still have the California burrito and it is just as good as it used to be. The woman owner works the register and she truly is the nicest person on planet earth. The tater tots are AMAZING.”

    “This is the spot for a classic breakfast in San Francisco. Plenty of seating, I choose the countertop. The 16th street omelette caught my eye, came with potatoes and a small selection of fruit which was a nice touch. I also ordered fresh Orange Juice. The service was nice and helpful. The sourdough was fresh and toasted and I like the seasoned potatoes. The cheesy omelette was just right with veggies and bacon. I really enjoyed this balanced breakfast to start my day.”

The food is fresh and tasty, the place has a really nice vibe to it, the weekday breakfast special is great value and they are very accommodating. Best part must be the waitress working there, tho. Forgot her name sadly but she was there both times I went and she's genuinely friendly and not over the top at all. It's so refreshing to actually get good service and not have it feel like a show! I will be coming again!”

    “It's a lifelong journey of mine to try as many different philly cheesesteaks as possible and find the best one. The philly from Founder's in Grand Rapids Michigan was my all time favorite until they removed it from the menu. After coming here, I can definitively say this is the best philly I've had so far. The staff were also really incredible. I'll definitely try and come here whenever I'm in SF.”

    “We tried this shop during our stay in the neighbourhood and loved the pancakes here. It’s a two-person-run business (one cook and one person handling the cashier, taking orders, preparing tables, and clearing up), so please be patient with the owner. She really does her best to take care of every customer, especially considering her age. For the basic breakfast, you can choose your bread (white, wholegrain, or sourdough) and how you’d like your eggs cooked. Another homey breakfast option. 👍”

    “I’ve been looking for proper Peking duck in San Francisco for a long time, and Win’s Restaurant absolutely delivers. This place is legit. The duck is fantastic — expertly prepared, beautifully roasted, crisp skin, tender meat, and done the way it’s supposed to be. No shortcuts, no gimmicks, just excellent execution. Exactly what I was hoping to find. Service was equally impressive: attentive, friendly, and professional without being intrusive. You can tell they take pride in both the food and the experience. We also ordered the beef organ soup, which was outstanding — rich, comforting, deeply flavorful, and clearly made with care. Not something you see done well everywhere, and they nailed it. If you’re serious about Chinese cuisine and have been searching for a place that does things above board, this is it. Couldn’t recommend it more. I’ll absolutely be back.”
