Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits

Neighborhood: Western Addition/NOPA
The only day you should ever come here is Tuesday, and the only thing you should ever order is the 99 cent Tuesday special. Where else can you pay only $1.08 to get two beautifully fried pieces of chicken (leg and thigh)? They're quite nice about it, too. In fact, when I order my two-piece special, they usually ask me, "How many?" Yes, they will actually allow you to order ten two-piece specials for yourself in one order without an argument. There's little better than this in life. It makes for a great day of passing out on the couch with a stack of empty Popeye's fried chicken boxes next to you.

Do yourself a favor and go to the Popeye's on Divisadero instead. You'll save yourself a lot of trouble, even if it is harder to find parking. If you feel like some adventure, though, try taking in a coupon and seeing if they understand how it works.
Yank Sing delivers dim sum in a fancy way, though unfortunately, fancy also means expensive. Everyone has mixed opinions about this place with worse opinions coming from those footing the bill, but if you're looking for good ethnic food where you can take finicky types who might not want to try something new but will be impressed by your worldliness, this is a great option. I definitely recommend getting some peking duck and small dragon buns or whatever they're called in English.

Holy crap is this place expensive! It's a good thing I wasn't paying. It's especially expensive in comparison to the quality of the dishes and the amount of food you get, but I suppose that's what happens when you elect to go to a frou-frou restaurant. If you've ever been to a PF Chang's, then you've essentially been here before, except for the live jazz. The one thing to watch out for is the prix fixe menu. They stick one of those on the table for everyone while giving you only one regular menu from which you can order individual dishes. What's the deal with that?

This place has your general staple of mediocre takeout food. I found the garlic fries to be not so good, though the wings were decent. As for the cobb salad, what the hell? There was no bacon or at least ham in it. That's not a cobb salad! Delivery service was an overall good experience, and you can do it all online on GrubHub.

This place has incredibly good salt and pepper chicken wings. Everything else on the menu is good, too, though I'd skip ordering a waffle. Really, who orders a waffle at a Chinese restaurant? I actually have no idea what else I've eaten here, as I'm always with people who speak Cantonese, and I can't understand a thing they're ordering. However, you could almost certainly order randomly and still be happy, provided you're truly omnivorous. Just make sure you get the wings!

This place is freaking awesome! If you don't come here at least once for the samosa soup and tea leaf salad, then you haven't lived. This is one of those places where a veggie meal is as good if not better than one with meat (though they do have meat on the menu if you're so inclined). Just be prepared to wait for a table.

Tsing Tao Chinese Restaurant
Category: Chinese
Neighborhood: Western Addition/NOPA
This place is absolutely horrible. I should have checked Yelp first before ordering off of GrubHub where reviews simply cannot be trusted. How in the world this place gets four stars there is beyond me. This was easily some of the worst Chinese food I've ever had. The salt and pepper chicken wings looked they had been run over by a truck and tasted awful, and the shredded pork was disgusting. This was a total waste of money and took forever to come. I will never order from here again. You'd do yourself a favor by not ordering from them either. Hopefully, this place just goes out of business. Anybody who gives them more than two stars was probably stoned and had some serious munchies or is being paid by Tsing Tao to lobby on their behalf.

This is surprisingly decent Chinese delivery food. While it's not the best in SF, this place earns props due to the overall experience. The guy was extremely friendly and efficient on the phone. He even told me that the rice was free after I declined it. They also happily take credit cards. I didn't even have to ask. The food arrived in less than twenty minutes. The hot and sour soup hit the spot, and the salt and pepper chicken wings weren't too bad. The garlic chicken, however, was rather bland, though it did have fresh vegetables, as someone else pointed out. All in all, I'll probably be ordering from them often.

The Cheese Steak Shop
Category: Sandwiches
Neighborhood: Pacific Heights
If you're looking for a real Philly cheesesteak, this is not your place. Those places are about 2900 miles away. If you're looking for an OK sandwich that happens to have shredded beef, a little cheese, peppers, and onions, then this is your place. Oh, the twister fries are pretty good, and don't forget to get your frequent card.
