(415) 391-3322
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Hello Hi-Tea, welcome to my belly. When I'm sickly and cold but still stuck in the office, I turn to you. When I'm having a bad day and need a warm pick-me-up, I turn to you. When I'm looking for an Asian fix, I turn to you. When I'm simply hungry…More »

omg I am addicted to this!!
I LOVE the waffle truck!!! I work in the financial district and I take bart to the civic center just to get waffles. They are ridiculously good. I think the syrup is already infused in the batter because when you look at…More »
3. Pasta Bene - CLOSED

Category:
Italian
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I LOVE PASTA BENE!!
Hidden gem!! I never knew of it before, but now I'm addicted! It's not gourmet, nothing special or fancy, but for $10, you can get a good, hearty Italian meal complete with soup or a side salad. It's the perfect lunch for a long…More »

Categories:
American (Traditional),
American (New)
Neighbourhood: SOMA
I had lunch here recently not knowing it was a Michelin star restaurant. I just walked in on a whim and thought, why not? Then, when my roasted chicken breast with mashed potatoes came, my eyes widened and I was thoroughly impressed. The last bite…More »

Bumped down to 4 stars. I found a little black pebble in my hot & sour soup. What a travesty :(

6. Plouf
San Francisco, CA 94104
(415) 986-6491
Plouf is delicious! It's so worth it for the lunch menu. I recommend the mussels in the original plouf sauce. You get a huge portion for under $15.00. The crabcake salad is good too. I was expecting two crabcakes and a bunch of leaves with…More »
7. Tommy Toy's Cuisine Chinoise

Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhood: Financial District
What a hidden gem!!
I've been working on Montgomery Street for the last 3 years, yet never have I seen or even heard of Tommy Toy's until today. Had the Dine About Town lunch with a friend and was thrilled with my latest discovery!! For $17.50, you…More »
8. Ferry Building Marketplace
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 983-8030
Categories:
Shopping Centers,
Specialty Food
Neighbourhood: Embarcadero
A lot of people are in love with the Ferry Building. I guess I'm pretty fortunate that I work nearby and can access it on a whim. I'm generally not a fan of overpriced yuppy crap and the Ferry Building is basically yuppy crap central but I give it 4…More »

Sandwiches,
Coffee & Tea,

Neighbourhood: Financial District
I'm eating the Eye Opener right now as I write this. It comes with toasted wheat bread, potatoes, scrambled eggs and ham. Yummy! Nothing too special, but it's monday morning and it hits the spot! Granted, any idiot could probably make the same…More »
10. Mixt Greens
San Francisco, CA 94104
(415) 433-6498
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Vegetarian,
Salad
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Overpriced, crowded, and a little too trendy for my taste, but the day I gave in was the day I got hooked.
The MADISON SALAD is fantastic! - mixed greens, pumpkin seeds, truffle oil potatoes, and grilled chicken breast pieces (which I usually…More »
11. Bistro Burger
San Francisco, CA 94104

Categories:
American (Traditional),
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I love Bistro Burger, specifically this location. I have lunch here all the time and when friends who don't live or work near the area come to visit during my lunch break, I take them here as a solid and well-priced lunch spot. Everybody loves…More »
12. San Francisco Soup Company
San Francisco, CA 94104
(415) 834-0472
Category:
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Financial District
This happens to be MY soup company, thank you very much. =)
I come here too often. At least twice a week for lunch. I LOVE soup! And Allison finally stopped calling me "ma'am."
Favorites: salmon chowder, crab & corn creole, potato bacon cheddar
13. Cafe De La Presse
Had lunch here with the firm recently and everyone loved it. I think my boss introduced me to a new mid-day luxury. I had the pacific sea bass with fingerling potatoes and grilled tomatoes bathed in a thin pesto-like sauce. The bass was perfect -…More »
14. Scala's Bistro
Had lunch here recently and though it was pricey ($50 for 2) I will definately be back for more.
I had a pappardelle dish that was very satisfying. Simple, just the right amount of flavor (some pasta dishes are either too bland or the sauce is too…More »
15. Cupcake Cove
San Francisco, CA 94104
(415) 772-9942
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Buy 2 cupcakes, get 1 free as of right now. So I bought 2 and they gave me not 1, but 2 free :)
A girl could get used to this.
16. Mikaku Restaurant
San Francisco, CA 94108
(415) 781-6730
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Union Square
This has got to be the sexiest Japanese restaurant in the city. The first time I came here, they played non-stop nineties R&B sex music (seriously, for two straight hours at least). My friend and I were dining after happy hour and so we had a good…More »
17. Herbert's Mexican Grill - CLOSED
I give Herbert's 3.5 stars, but rounded up to 4 because I'm having a good day.
I like the way they run this place and believe more taquerias could benefit from its example. There's a lot of open space, it's clean, and you order exactly what you want…More »
18. Crepe & Curry
San Francisco, CA 94105
(415) 772-9900
This is another one of my frequent lunch spots. I've been coming here for years for their crepes. I always order the turkey pesto or the hawaiian. The turkey pesto, I would say, is probably their most popular dish and it consists of just that: crepe,…More »
19. Boudin Sourdough Bakery & Cafe
Four words: CLAM CHOWDER BREAD BOWL!
Never knew this location had multiple levels AND a dining area in the back. All this time, I had always dined in the outdoor patio area freezing my butt off! Great soups, always consistent, but the long wait is a…More »
20. Julie's Kitchen
San Francisco, CA 94104
(415) 956-0785
Category:
Buffets
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I was here just 2 days ago and was charged $14.00 for some veggies, potatoes, and a few lumps of meat. How did this happen?? I've always been a big supporter of Julie's Kitchen, eat here all the time and am generally satisfied, but now am turned off…More »

Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Finally! a mexican joint in the financial district!
Pasilla serves what you would call "white man's" mexican food, but I am very appreciative of its accessibility. Their menu is simple: choose an item (burrito, taco, quesadilla, etc). and then choose…More »

I've had lunch here with the firm a few times and it was always pretty good. Had dinner again recently by accident - not the first time something like that has happened to me - when I was really looking for Le Central.
Anyway, I ordered the coc au vin…More »
23. Katana-Ya
San Francisco, CA 94102

Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, Civic Center/Tenderloin
I passed by this place so many times and kept telling myself I would try it.. so I finally did. In short: delicious ramen noodles but slightly overrated. I waited a good 20 minutes before being seated and didn't feel entirely satisfied when I left.…More »

Ahh, another workday lunch spot to add to my list.
A friend took me here the other day to grab some sandwiches before heading to a park. At first I wasn't impressed because their menu looked similar to just about every other cafe in the financial…More »

Category:
Spanish
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I went here for lunch with my co-workers at the suggestion of a random guy in our elevator.. Good choice!
I had the Paella B44 with shrimp, chicken, mussels, clams, chorizo and veggies. It came really hot - in an iron skillet - but was seared just…More »
26. Stone Korean Kitchen
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 839-4070
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhood: Financial District
This restaurant has so much potential. But for the quality of food and the prices they charge, it's a no go. Came here once and tried a good variety of dishes (seafood pancake, chicken drumsticks, rice cakes, bibimbap), will not be coming back again.…More »
