1. Applewood Inn
It is a bit hard to find at night, as the restaurant's sign is not lit up and the general area doesn't have street lights. However, the atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice, and they seated my boyfriend and I quickly even without a reservation.

Seafood,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Financial District
All the dishes are prepared in a very artistic way, with the final assembly right before your eyes (e.g. the tuna tartare was mixed at the table, my pork and atlantic cod was layered in front of me). The wait staff was very friendly and extremely…More »

Neighbourhood: Mission
3.5 stars.
This is a full-on American sushi experience. You can get sushi with truffle oil, caviar, flash fried jalapenos, spicy tuna sauce...anything fancy and Western you can think of here. They get a thumbs up for innovation.
Plus, the TV in the…More »

Yum yum. Every time I come to the ferry building, I know there's a treat in it for me. This time it's the beignets from BL that won me over. They are so fresh, warm, crispy yet tender. Just the perfect match for a winter day.
I got the crab omelette…More »

Neighbourhood: Inner Richmond
Wow! The line at this place is crazy. Although, you can call in earlier to put your name in the line as well as ask how long the wait is. I strongly suggest doing that while you are getting to the restaurant.
This restaurant has been featured at so…More »
6. Crouching Tiger Restaurant
Upon reading some of the badly rated reviews, I feel like people didn't order dishes that give this place justice. Also, people really just don't know what real Chinese food is sometimes..*shakes head*
Well, yes, when you're at a Chinese restaurant,…More »
7. Donato Enoteca
I came here with only my boyfriend this time, and boy, was it different from the time I came here with a big group.
We walked in on Sunday when they were changing shifts, but we were still seated quickly and were served immediately. We both got one of…More »

Neighbourhood: Inner Sunset
We came here for the izakaya fare. Not just the sushi because they have an extensive menu, and is even vegetarian friendly. Needless to say, my vegetarian friend was satisfied, as well as the rest of us meat lovers.
Try some of the kushiyaki,…More »
9. Evvia Estiatorio
Very delicious fancy Greek food. The mezes are great (try the spanakopita or the artichoke and eggplant skewers which was oh so perfectly charred), and I really love their bubbling hot moussaka served in a bowl. Oh, and don't forget the lamb shank…More »
10. Fish.
This is a tough one. In a simple sentence: good food but overpriced, and service isn't consistent with price.
The restaurant is not really a sit down restaurant. You order at the counter, and then find a seat to sit down and eat. I guess it's ok for a…More »

Neighbourhood: Civic Center/Tenderloin
3.5 stars.
The meal was really yummy, and the interior of the restaurant is very art-deco pretty so I rounded up, but I found the service a bit lacking.
We had a reservation for dinner, late in the day. They seated us real quickly and took our drink…More »
12. Heaven's Dog
Huh. I didn't realize even Chinese food can be California-ized. When I see American Chinese food, I don't usually associate it with "sustainable," "local," or "organic", but food has this amazing weird way to transform here in the golden state.
First…More »
13. Higuma Japanese Restaurant
Been here a couple times for lunch. I like the atmosphere and size of the place, however, it's hard to spot and there isn't much parking in the back.
They offer a variety of things, but most notably the following:
1) Sushi rolls
Some of the sushi…More »
14. Hong Kong Flower Lounge
Meh. Had dim sum here on a Sunday, and got seated pretty quickly since we only have a party of 2.
They serve dimsum mainly on carts, and also have bigger dishes going around (like salt and pepper fried fish or deep fried chicken wings). The har gow…More »
15. Junnoon Restaurant - CLOSED
3.5 stars.
Came here for Silicon Valley Restaurant Week. It's a good opportunity to get a few dishes from a restaurant at a reasonable price, but I do understand that the service and the overall quality of the food suffers a little (like special…More »
16. Koi Palace
This place serves very authentic and fresh out of the stove dim sum. Even at 2pm, the dim sum served is still hot and steamy, which is nice comparing to other dim sum places I've been to (mainly on the east coast).
There is a wide variety of dim sum…More »

San Francisco, CA 94117
(415) 441-1118
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhood: Western Addition/NOPA
I have not had very many deep dish pizza, and certainly not one from Chicago. I wasn't really a big fan of deep dish pizzas just because the crust is usually so thick, I end up getting full from just the crust, so I generally avoided ordering deep…More »
18. Manresa Restaurant
In terms of fine dining experience, this was great. Absolutely impeccable. We both had the tasting menu, and the mister also had a wine pairing. He really enjoyed the pairings, while we mused on and on about the good food.
Of the food we had, the most…More »
19. Mingalaba
A solid southeast asian place. The dishes might look very familiar to you, because, well, the Thais and the Vietnamese and the Burmese and the Malaysians and the Hindis...they all live pretty darn close together.
I like their tea leaf salad. It's very…More »

I have to downgrade it a little bit for the price during dinner time.
It's essentially the same stuff they serve for lunch, but 2.5x the price. Might be worth it for some people but seems to me like a bit of a rip-off.
Still love the food though.

21. Pancho Villa Taqueria
Good stuff. A huge menu to choose from, the ingredients are fresh (heck they make the food right in front of your eyes!), and I've been liking everything I've gotten there so far.
Most recently I got their prawn tacos, and man...the prawns were well…More »
22. Pasta Moon
3.5 stars rounded up.
Came here for lunch on one of the hottest days this year. The weather in HMB is amazing and a relaxing lunch is just what we needed.
There are quite a few dining rooms in this restaurant -- on the way to the restrooms I kept…More »
23. Red Lantern - CLOSED
I am wavering between 1 and 2 stars, but either way, eek, steer clear of this place.
This is kind of an Asian fusion place, which is the kind of food I usually really like. The decor of the place is very trendy and I like it a lot. The dishes and…More »
24. Scopa Restaurant
Amazing, amazing food.
Came here on a Saturday night, and found that they are fully booked for the evening. However, if we waited we could get a seat at the bar, so we did, and waited for around 1.5 hours (they have around 6-7 seats at the bar).

My previous reviews have been normal dining experiences at Sent Sovi, one with Restaurant Week, and one for a special occasion.
After I've been to two of their ingredient-themed dinners, I feel like I owe my fellow Yelpers a description of these…More »

They have a seasonal menu, so don't be surprised if you cannot find some items that fellow reviewers mentioned. My friend was looking for the corn dogs but apparently they weren't offering them anymore...
We came here for Friday dinner with a…More »
27. Sushi Sam's Edomata
With the number of favourable reviews this place has to be a local favourite. I've been here a couple times just to make sure it wasn't my tastebuds and have only been underwhelmed.
While this is far from the worst in San Mateo, it is nowhere near the…More »

Category:

Neighbourhoods: Japantown, Lower Pac Heights, Pacific Heights
Not bad. They have some interesting flavours like the Suzu which is ramen topped with gyoza and chicken kara-age and the usual goodies, or mabo (mapo) tofu items, hiyashi chuka (cold noodles chinese style) and quite a few donburis.
I opted for the…More »

We decided to stop by for brunch because of some good reviews. The restaurant has a pretty dining room with nice skylights so it's very nice to dine here at the day time.
We started with some seasonal fruits. The fruits were very fresh and delicious,…More »
30. The Village Pub
Went here for a special occasion, and it was well worth it. I originally found this place through the Michelin guide, and decided to try it because I live near it and can't be bothered to go too far away on a week night.
First off, despite the dining…More »
31. Thea Mediterranean
I have been here multiple times and liked the food here. The atmosphere and decor is nice and they have live music sometimes. The food is always well prepared, fresh, and delicious.
Look for the dip trio, the lamb dishes, and the moussaka. Best…More »
32. Tropisueño
We walked by here right after the Lunar New Year parade trying to look for a bite. The wait wasn't bad at all on a Saturday night -- around 20~30 mins for a party of 2.
We started with their house margaritas. They actually rimmed the glass with a…More »
33. Xanh Restaurant
The atmosphere is really nice (modern up-scale Asian cuisine style), and the service was pretty good. Food is really good. I had the buddha rolls and the full moon wraps, which are both excellent.
However, my friends that ordered the pho and the glass…More »
34. Yank Sing
Super overrated, and it doesn't help that this place is on *both* the Michelin Guide and the 7x7 100 things to eat in Sf list. I'm even tempted to give it a 2 star (it's really a 2.5).
I met up with a fellow Hong Kong girl who is just visiting this…More »

I came here for a special birthday dinner and was thoroughly impressed.
We started out waiting at the bar because we were too early for our reservation. We ordered some cocktails -- they prepare it right in front of you and the mister almost drank his…More »
