1. Miss Tomato Sandwich Shop
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 397-0100
Category:
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I suspect these are the same people who runs the Miss Tomato in Daly City. They took over the former Eataliano space. Since their Daly City store was highly rated on Yelp, I decided to give this location a try. I ordered the 2 in Da Shirt on…More »

I ordered the tonkatsu and a side of croquette (I love Japanese croquette - so delicious, so messy to make!). The tonkatsu was fried nicely - golden brown - and tastes yummy. Meal came with soup, salad (dressing on the side) and what looks like…More »

I always wanted to try this truck but never had the time or I got something else for lunch. Anyway, rather than hiking to the nearest Japanese place (Tokyo Express), I dropped by the JapaCurry truck today. After debating whether I should try the…More »
4. An The Go
I looove garlic noodles! So when I found out that they were going to be at Truck Stop today, I hopped on over for lunch. Line was long and there is a bit of a wait. I think it's because they only have one window for ordering and picking up as…More »
5. Truck Stop
I saw a posting about Truck Stop on Chowhound. I checked out the calendar and made the trek in search of the alley way for Kara's Cupcakes. It wasn't hard to find. There's a painted sign on the building that says "Truck Stop." It's across the…More »

Welcome back Chez Fayala aka Chez Carla. They opened today and much of the staff returned. I ordered the Prima Facie Chicken and it's just as good as I remembered it.

Get their loaded venue salad. If you want protein, throw in some chicken. Their salads are filled to the brim and they will throw some bread in your sandwich too.
At $7+ they are much cheaper than the overpriced, overrated Mixt Greens. They sell…More »

21. The Posh Bagel
I dropped by here on my way back to work. Ordered a chicken melt w/ an onion bagel. OMG, the sandwich was just so yummy! Way better than the greasy sandwiches at Noah's. Bagel wasn't that bad either (it's not chewy hard).

I looove Boulevard. The food is soo good there. Also love the Belle Epoque design.
Boulevard is considered a splurge restaurant so I don't go there often but when I'm there, I've never left disappointed!
25. Boudin Sourdough Bakery & Cafe
Hmm...is it me or did their portions shrink? I ordered the Best of Boudin's (clam chowder w/ 1/2 chicken pesto sandwich) and the sandwich looks like it is a lot smaller than what they usually serve.
Their 1 lb loaf of sourdough bread also looks like…More »

I used to go here quite often when they were at the Bush St address (now replaced by Sushi Boat...blech!). Anyway, love their tonkatsu or chicken katsu. Teriyaki is also good. But I have to say I don't love the burgers. It's messy! Either way,…More »
36. Yes Burgers & Malts - CLOSED
I got a grilled chicken sandwich combo (with a choco malt to boot) for about $9 (that's a lot) but considering I paid the same (sans malt) at Manhattan Hub, I'd say YBM has the better deal.
The chicken was moist (so they didn't overgrill it!).
