Fantastic for brunch, this must be still a sleeper because there is not too much wait. All the food I have tried there is great but if I had to pick I would get the fried egg sandwich with sausage (I could get coaxed into splitting some pancakes too)
You can also call for a reservation. Vive le Dogpatch

Convenient cuz it's close to where I live but boy is this a sucky place to rent trucks. Super slow service (I guess it is busy) and less than helpful staff.
The guy who helped me get the truck was a little better but there seemed to have total lack of communication with the desk people
All around awful, would not go back if I could

Decent dimsum: shiu mai, pork ribs and 3 different combinations of steamed shrimp and vegetables
I thought they kinda skimmed on the jok/jook/porridge (on the pork and preserved eggs) and the lobster over noodles (sadly on the lobster). Still the $20 twin lobsters deal could be a steal
Also had very standard dou miu (snow peas) with garlic
I don't usually care for service or ambiance at these places but it was kinda bad, the tables are too close to each other. They did sit me by the kitchen, that table is half blocking that entrance. They also kept using my table to stack plates for service to others, quit that. I think prices are good though I didn't pay
Because of the proximity to the toilet, I kept thinking people walking out of there (and kitchen area) worked in the restaurant, so for once I think uniforms (or just a vest) would be good
More bitching: they have a bunch of big tables so if you're not a party of 8, prepare to share one or wait
The best part may have been walking over to Genki for some crepes
Mayflower is a bit of a ways out there but it's better http://www.yelp.com/bi...
I have to try more dimsum on Clement

Not much to say beside it's a decent slice (thin) late at night
I do have to point out that you get the Frankenstein slice here where you can clearly see the base (old) vs the toppings just sprinkled on (solid: combo, greco) which is a big turn off.. oh well this is the only game in town (in the area) when Orgasmica is closed
Bonus: plenty of space so you can sprawl over a table in your your drunkeness

I got pretty faded here so my recollection is a bit hazy. All the food tasted okay, maybe the one standout was the lamb
Wow
- lamb chops
- decor + view
Ok
- foie gras
- chicken (Pegasus?!)
- mussels
- hummus (iirc)
Thx to our friend Juan for treating us

I went there with James F (he got the coveted first!) http://www.yelp.com/us...
Our Korean buddy Juan took us there so it had automatic cachet
The kalbi (galbi) is indeed amazing here, even if I hated doing those wraps myself: worth it. The idea is that this kalbi is a different cut from the ones we usually get out here on the west coat. We are treated to all meat, getting the cut below the bones. Makes me think twice of getting kalbi with those three flat bones elsewhere.. Also excellent: the kimchi pancake. I love that stuff
The waitress hooked us up with this super manly soju which came in a little green bottle and kicked our asses
Note: you can skip the bulgogi and yes, Korean bbq will ruin your clothes for the day

Deja Vu Pizza and Pasta
Category: Pizza
Neighborhood: Mission
My favorite slice in sf, I understand they're with Serrano's on 21st St. I like to eat in there cuz the pie is not that portable (maybe it's more cuz I don't enjoy groping my food). That first table by the window is my spot haha
Hot
- sausage
- mushroom
- pesto (light)
- you almost get two slices with three crusts
- better than Arinells
- mostly empty (around lunch), that can be very quiet and serene
- around $4
- they deliver
Not
- wait is kinda long, you gotta pay your dues for made-to-order
- once, I've had super annoying folks eating next to me causing all kinds of ruckus, bad luck I guess

Terroir Natural Wine Merchant
Category: Wine Bars
Neighborhood: SOMA
The space is a bit empty though it also serves as a store so that can be a bit tricky. Something about the layout (or the music or the lighting) doesn't sit well with me. Maybe it just needs more people (but please no sardine-packed crowds like at District)
The place could use a menu so that you can read at your own leisure or take your time to pick. Maybe they want you to talk to them. The owner is actually an American kid who used to be the sommelier from Chez Spencer, hence the connection with the (limited) snack offerings: cheese and salami. He was thriving on the whole knowledge and education thing, so .. yeah that can be good or bad haha
Tried the white flight of wine and some cow cheese. It's funny how the little things like toasting the little pieces of bread make such a huge difference. The whole organic angle is more of a feel good thing for me, like "oh yeah no chemicals". Can't say that it tasted any better or worse
It is cool to have a wine store/"wine bar" in the hood. Bonus for staying open late and what look to be good prices

San Tung Chinese Restaurant
Category: Chinese
Neighborhood: Inner Sunset
The constant line at San Tung can drive one crazy. I'm still not too sure about the origin of that place but they have Chinese and Korean signs/menu, serve kimchee as an amuse and have Korean dishes (the noodle). My friend says the cuisine (north east) might be close to the Korean border
I read recently that Golden Rice Bowl across the street might be ok as a substitute if it's too packed http://www.sfbg.com/en...
Yes
- Original dry fried chicken $8
- Seaweed soup (looks quite awful but tastes good) $6.95
- Dried sauteed string beans $6.50
- Beef and vegetables
So so
- Black bean sauce noodles (jajangmyen) $7
- Mushu wrap, I'm just too lazy for that stuff
No
- Pot stickers, celebrated but no go for me (huge size, filling: no, skin: too thick) $5.50
- Pig's ear $5
To try
- Three deluxe spicy sauce noodles $7
Portions are huge so come with people (or appetite). Food comes out atypically slow for a Chinese place
Weekdays get good deals (specials from 11am to 3pm: one dish + soup/rice for $5-7)

Great - paella, the best…
All Japanese patrons so I would say it is safe
The fried rice is ok, not stellar. The gyoza is not cool
The ramen is pretty good actually, thumbs up on miso (I think Hakata as well) and shoyu
