The best Japanese places for my money are senseis of restraint. Eiji is a perfect example of meticulous subtlety that results in some mighty delicious meals.

Blink and you might miss it, Eiji is a tiny place. Thankfully the flags outside proudly…More »

I don't like my sushi places fussy but I'll make an exception for Ozumo and let them slide becuase the food makes up for the stuffy dining experiece.

Kyoto Sushi has a special place in my heart; and it's not just the $1 Sapporos talking (or 8). It's not the best Japanese food by any means but it's not bad either and I always leave satisfied - filled with food and conversation. And again, it's not…More »

Happy hour with waterfront views. Great. Happy hour till close? Ummmm ridiculously great. Chaya's a safe bet for drinks along the Embarcadero.

I started with a Bloody Clementine - a nice concoction of vodka, elderflower liqueur, and blood orange…More »

Over the years I've seen many changes at Sudachi - from management to menus to the physical layout of the restaurant but I'm glad you can still get fairly decent and fresh sushi here.

Sudachi used to be more adventurous and refined with their menu but…More »

Sushi Rock, and this applies to the Pine St. location too, has decent enough food for days when you are famished. Head elsewhere if you are really looking for authentic Japanese food though because this feels more like Japan by way of Beijing.

It's not the best sushi in the Castro, but with it's prime location, Osaka Sushi is a convenient place to grab some light nosh before the bars.

It's a fairly typical sushi place with all the usual suspects. I don't think anything really jumped out at…More »

Recently updated lists from Jon L.

Curry Favor (9)

When it's cold outside and you want some hot and spicy Indian/Pakistani comfort to warm you right back up... Curry favoring can get you anywhere.

Loco Tacos (14)

Places I like for a quick Mexican bite, most likely carnitas, and the occasional burrito or platter.

Many happy hours make a "oh happy day" (25)

Favorite places to get my after-work drink on.

Pho the love of all things Indochine (12)

The subtle yet wonderfully layered flavors of the cuisine from the territory of the former French Indochina - mostly Vietnamese, but all delicious.

Yelp events I've had the pleasure of attending.

I love my big fat deep fried chicken! (9)

I really do. Deep fried deliciousness. Southern goodness. Good ol' comfort food. Bring lots of napkins.
