1. Pizzeria Delfina
San Francisco, CA 94115
(415) 440-1189
Hmm... maybe I'm just not into pizza as much as I thought I was. Perhaps Little Star has spoiled me. Pizzeria Delfina is just okay to me. Not buzz-worthy. And DEFINITELY not 1.5 hour wait worthy.
Proscuitto Pie = Meh. Proscuitto was way too salty…More »
2. Mama's
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 362-6421
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill
Eating at Mama's is like having all your friends tell you about this super hot girl who "looks like Megan Fox but not dirty", but when you finally meet her, she ends up looking like an overexhausted Kirsten Dunst. Now Kirsten Dunst is not UGLY per…More »
3. Alexander's Steakhouse
There is something strange going on in Cupertino. 4.5 stars for Alexander's Steakhouse on Yelp?! Wow... either the standards of the Yelp community have plummeted or my visit to Alexander's Steakhouse was a one in a thousand fluke. Did we all really…More »
4. La Mar Cebichería Peruana
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 397-8880
La Mar really is an awesome restaurant space that's well-designed and beaming with a bright, exuberant atmosphere. It's very classy, but still keeps a fun energy within its walls -- perfect for a Peruvian restaurant.
The food, however, wasn't as great…More »
5. Santa Ramen
Santa Ramen, simply, is just average when it comes to ramen. The noodles are average -- they taste cheap and not al dente. The pork broth is decent, but doesn't have a rich pork flavor that really makes ramen good. The roasted pork slices are…More »
6. Boboquivari's
San Francisco, CA 94123
(415) 441-8880
Categories:
Steakhouses,
Seafood
Neighbourhood: Marina/Cow Hollow
I have no idea what everyone is talking about on Yelp, but Bobo's is not that great of a steakhouse.
To be frank, Bobo's is not a bad restaurant, it's just not very good either. I'd say it's pretty average steak, especially for the high prices. You'd…More »
7. Spork - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 643-5000
Category:
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Mission
I went to Spork expecting great things and I had my eyes set on one dish and one dish only: the inside-out burger. It was supposed to be one of the best burgers in SF. Each bite escalating me to a new ascending plateau of euphoria. At least that's…More »
8. The Monk's Kettle
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 865-9523
Categories:
Bars,
Gastropubs
Neighbourhood: Mission
Ok what the hell is the deal with Monk's Kettle? I hear all the hype from my friends and I read that their big pretzel is on some list of top 100 dishes to try in SF before you die. It's because of all this hype that I waited a (long... very long)…More »
9. Sushi Bistro
San Francisco, CA 94118
(415) 933-7100
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Inner Richmond
TASTE EXPLOSION OVERLOAD!!! ERROR. ERROR. TASTEBUDS... TOO... OVERWHELMED... CAN'T GO... ONNNNNN.
Sushi Bistro is the prime example of a sushi restaurant that's designed for people who do not like sushi. If you love this place, then chances are you're…More »
10. Hard Knox Cafe
San Francisco, CA 94107
(415) 648-3770
Okay, let me just begin with: I'm the ultimate pencil. Just because I have yellow skin doesn't mean that my blood isn't black. There's nothing more enjoyable in my belly than a big plate of mac & cheese, some cornbread, fried chicken with gravy,…More »
11. House of Nanking
Attention to all House of Nanking newcomers: Before you go to eat here, you have to first decide what kind of Chinese food you like. Authentic or Westernized? If your idea of good Chinese food is Panda Express and egg rolls with sweet & sour sauce,…More »
12. Radius
Radius is great in its mission statement (fresh, locally-grown ingredients), but disappointing in its execution. It's a nice atmosphere for a date or catching up with close friends, and our server, Fred, was very attentive and enthusiastic. The food,…More »
13. Namu - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94118
(415) 386-8332
Categories:
Japanese,
American (New),
Korean
Neighbourhood: Inner Richmond
Namu is a perfect example of a restaurant that is stuck in Asian-Fusion limbo -- they can't decide exactly what type of food they want to serve, so they end up creating a menu filled with subpar and overly-priced Korean food. It's as if the chef…More »
14. Citizen's Band
Mac & Cheese = Decent, but nothing special. It was a little dry and not very flavorful. Nice touch with the crispy onion rings on top, though.
Fried Chicken = Below average. It wasn't very crispy (probably due to the gravy) and it wasn't very moist.

15. Jasper's Corner Tap & Kitchen
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 775-7979
Categories:
American (New),
Gastropubs
Neighbourhood: Civic Center/Tenderloin
*2.5 stars*
As a new kid on the block, Jasper's is a gastropub that obviously deems itself as an upscale gastropub. Prices are higher; they offer the choice of sparkling or still water; they have a 20% gratuity added for parties of 6 or more (what…More »
16. Tres
Stowed away in an empty street in SOMA, Tres Agaves is only worth going to if you want to get drunk. They have some of the best margaritas I've ever had -- a ton of alcohol per serving and tasty as hell. They also serve my favorite tequila: Tequila…More »
17. A 16
San Francisco, CA 94123
(415) 771-2216
A16 really just wasn't worth the prices. Ok granted that I'm not that big of a fan of Italian food (because I hate olives), I have had very very excellent Italian food -- just definitely not here.
Our waitress was a really cute, friendly girl who…More »
18. Red Crawfish
San Francisco, CA 94109
(415) 771-1388
Categories:
Asian Fusion,
Cajun/Creole
Neighbourhood: Civic Center/Tenderloin
Boiling Crab has set the bar pretty damn high for Vietnamese-owned Cajun joints. In SF, I've only found two restaurants that are similar to Boiling Crab: (1) Craw Station and (2) Red Crawfish.
Craw Station, in the Sunset, is a pretty good contender…More »
19. Ozumo
I don't think I've ever been to a Japanese restaurant that's THIS overpriced. Now, if you're going to be an overpriced sushi restaurant, then your fish better be DAMN FRESH. So fresh that it's living in Bel-Air with Uncle Phil. Ozumo's sushi had the…More »
20. Thirsty Bear Brewing Company
San Francisco, CA 94105
(415) 974-0905
Categories:
Breweries,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: SOMA
I'll make this short and simple.
Tapas = nice try, but honestly, not very good. tapas here definitely taste very cheap and mediocre, but with prices that are even higher than most premium tapas restaurants. if you want delicious tapas, there are so…More »
21. MoMo's
I came to MoMo's with a buddy on a Saturday night around 6:30pm and this place was absolutely EMPTY. The only reason why we went in to try this place out was because you could see the hostess from outside and if boredom could have a face, it would be…More »
22. Bocadillos
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 982-2622
Categories:
Spanish,
Tapas Bars,
Basque
Neighbourhood: Financial District
No paella? No sangria? No dates wrapped in serrano ham? What kind of Spanish tapas restaurant is this?!?
I guess they're trying to be the "cool & unique" kids on the block and not serve the typical Spanish dishes. From the decor to the servers to…More »
23. Koh Samui & The Monkey
Honestly, this place really isn't that good. Thai food is perhaps one of the best, most flavorful cuisines in the world, and this place really doesn't do it justice. I've had better Thai food that was less than half the price. Sure the place looks…More »
