Note to Managers:
Want four extra stars? Educate your morning front counter person about the importance of hygiene. Working with money, handling a filthy footstool and messing with a grimy cellphone while stacking the morning bread is a great way to contaminate your food.

Ken's Kitchen
Category: Chinese
Neighborhood: Civic Center/Tenderloin
Out in Bernal Heights it is tough to get decent Chinese delivery, so much so that I'd given it up until last weekend when I was desperate for the love that only Chinese Food can give.
I got a bit of everything, because why not.
Egg rolls, good. Potstickers, good. Chow Fun, great. Fried Rice, good. Sesame Chicken, great. Mongolian Beef, great (no wonky-beef, only real beef.) Hot and Sour soup, good. Shrimp puffs, great.
I'm not saying it's the greatest Chinese food in SF because it's not even close, but it was definitely a delicious meal for not that much money and delivered promptly.
Well done, Ken!

An 80 rating on the posted Health Dept. report drew me in and I decided to read the whole report. Why I ate after reading the report remains a mystery.

"I'm not sure what I'm looking at."
"That means bad."
She bites into the complimentary eggroll.
"Oh my god, honey, I actually heard the grease squirt out into your mouth. Are you ok?"
"Uh, yeah. It's... an eggroll. Um, maybe I'll try my dish."
She opens a "Mandarin Chicken" which looks identical to a plate of IHOP Buffalo Wings but smells much much worse.
"My garlic chicken tastes like someone froze it two or three times this week. It smells like fish and chicken and pork and maybe a little sweat. I'm going to skip it. Thank god I got the Chicken Fried Rice... something impossible to fuck up."
I open the container and I am sideswiped into a memory of my Jr. High School locker room.
"This smells like socks. Old socks soaked in sugar."
"Should I throw this stuff away?"
"Since you don't have an incinerator, yes, that's going to have to do."

UA Berkeley 7

Neighborhood: Downtown Berkeley
It's still a filthy, decrepit shithole, so one star for consistency. Our theater was somewhere around 40 degrees - cold enough to numb all my extremities barring my nose which was delighted by the reeking stench of piss and shit-filled underwear coming from all around me. I asked the only person I saw working in the theater if something could be done about the arctic temperature. The response is as follows:
"Oh yeah, the air conditioning's been broken for some time now. Sorry, there's nothing we can do about it. Hey, maybe the excitement of the movie will keep you warm!"
Yes, that, or the furnace of my homicidal rage.

Stinking, sticky seats, with destroyed cushions that make the back of a gypsy cab seem like a luxury suite at the Bellagio? Check. Popcorn so stale you'll swear the corn was actually popped by native Miwok Indians before Manifest Destiny got around to popping them? You bet. Ever seen skeletal remains, fully clothed, its skull sporting a permanent pearly rictus of silent screaming horror and its arms forever reaching for the exits because it's damned feet are fused to the butter-bog floor? I have. Is your vision 20/200? Perfect. Perhaps you also suffer from uncontrollable tremors that would sync with the persistent shaking of the screen.
Many buildings burn to the ground every day, yet this one still stands; point scored for "god doesn't exist". Good job, Satan.People thought this was:

Delicious food, really fast delivery, and reasonable prices. I swear to you I wanted to hug the delivery guy and invite him in to take a load off and watch LOST with me. The delivery comes in solid trays with clear covers for the non-rice dishes, and the standard (no metal) box containers for the rice stuff. Every time I order it's less than 20 minutes, the food is hot and delicious, and it comes with everything - fork, soy sauce, napkins, and a menu. Every time.
I love it.
