This place was fantastic.  When my parents and sister were in town we stopped through at the recommendation of the good folks at Golden Gate Bakery.

Service is pretty bad (par for most Chinese places with predominately Chinese customer base), but the food was fantastic.  I also like the fact that you order everything all at once from their menu instead of hvaing to flag down cart pushers.

A 0 star rating would be more accurate, but since that's not allowed I have to go with the minimum allowed.

I, like Charles S, came here expecting fantastic fried chicken.  Being from the south, when someone says their chicken is soaked in buttermilk, battered, and pan fried, I expect a certain level of quality.  What I got was a bready soggy mess.  I sampled a little of every dish we had at the table and the only passable dish was the cajun meatloaf.  

The ambiance of this place is also a little putoff-ish.  Soul food should not be accompanied by salsa-esque music, super fancy leather-bound menus, or snobby waitstaff who had no idea what service means.

Nordstrom Rack

This NR is way better than the one in the city.  My only guess as to why would be that there are less people rummaging through the goods here.  

I went expecting to buy one pair of shoes but walked out with two GREAT pairs of shoes, at a total discount of $300!  The discount value is from their stickers so it might be a little bloated but I'm very satisfied with the quality and price of both pairs.

If you need or want something from Nordstrom's but don't feel like paying full price, go to the Nordstrom's Rack in San Francisco (so all us savvy folks can still get our goodies in SSF)!

Having only gone to LensCrafters and other mall-type places in the past, I wasn't sure what to expect aside from a higher price tag.  However, they were close and I needed specs (destroyed mine after passing out on the couch circa 3am).

I had a great experience here.  Everyone was very helpful and patient as I tried on all my options.  Jorge was notably helpful, and ever the perfectionist.  He spent so much time getting my new glasses to fit just right, and was a great source of feedback during the frame selection process as well.

At the end of the day, I got what I felt to be warm friendly service, and it didn't really cost me any more than I usually pay.  Their frame selection isn't as vast as the larger chain stores but what they lack in quantity they make up for in quality and service.

This place is fantastic!  The only place I've ever ordered a "jr" anything and was satisfied post-consumption.  I think the truly special touch is toasting the bread.

Extra points for the liquor store, making this a one-stop shop!

This place has decent service, good decor, but the food left something to be desired.  The chocolate tort was by far the best, with the table focaccia coming in second.  

We had the bruschetta, "pasta special," and the aforementioned tort.

Our waiter was friendly and service was prompt but overall the food was just much too bland.  For the price, there are much better meals to be had nearby.

This place is awesome! We did a "chef's choice" sashimi platter and everything was fantastic.  Great food (the miso is to die for), super friendly and nice staff, pretty little garden in the back (which I did not go check out).  

Only downside is that it's a bit pricey but some friends bought me dinner here after I graciously helped them move into their new place (right up the street).  Let's just say I am eagerly anticipating my next trip to the boring ole Sunset ;)

I LOVE THIS SERVICE!!!

These guys are always friendly, timely, and extremely responsive.  If you hate doing laundry like me, and don't mind paying for wash and fold, then there's absolutely no reason not to use these guys!

To be all eBay about it:  "A+++ WOULD RECOMMEND"

Country Station Sushi - CLOSED

Neighborhood: Mission

The 2 stars isn't necessarily a reflection of their food (which was good but of which there was very little variety) but instead a reflection on the dining experience itself.  I like the decor and the idea, HATE the "secret handshake" kind of vibe.  Service was also pretty poor (I saw no less than two other tables take their seats, order, and have their food by the time our order was taken!).

I've walked past this place many times and always contemplated going in.  Now that I have, I'm glad to know I'll never be going here for the atrocious service again =)

Tom and George showed up early, moved everything out within 30 minutes, and I was in my new place with all my stuff less than 2 hours later.

These guys are fast, efficient, friendly.  From the quotes I've received they are on the cheap side too!  Also helped me haul away as much stuff as they moved into my new place, which nobody else I spoke to would.
