Where to go after 9pm...

1. Ausiello's Tavern
Been here a couple times; nice pub, good atmosphere even though it doesn't look like it from the outside. It has a shuffle board, some games, and a couple pool tables in the back.
The bar serves up some decent beer and they've got a good selection on…More »
2. Blowfish Sushi
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 285-3848
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
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 »
3. Cafe Borrone
Menlo Park, CA 94025
(650) 327-0830
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Sandwiches
We were looking for a nice café to eat at for brunch on the weekends, and decided to try out something new. There was a huge, huge line for this place, but I think it's worth the wait!
They have a pretty decent selection of lunch foods, ranging from…More »
4. Cafe La Tartine
Redwood City, CA 94063
(650) 474-2233
Categories:
Desserts,
Coffee & Tea,

Being a couple blocks away from Pamplemousse, a comparison is inevitable. This place is much more spacious, has more than enough seats, so on a whole, I really like the atmosphere of the place.
Food wise, their presentation is great. Soups and drinks…More »
5. Candybar
San Francisco, CA 94117
(415) 673-7078
I can't believe how many reviews/stars this place got after a while!
I went there with the mister when it was still pretty new, because of our love for dessert places. We also very much loved Finale in the Boston area and wanted to find something…More »

Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: Haight-Ashbury
Great, great tapas place.
We came here around 11pm after the Wicked show looking for food. We were afraid that the kitchen might be closed then but the host was super nice and assured us we'll get our seats and our food.
After 5 minutes of waiting we…More »
7. Chez Maman
San Francisco, CA 94107
(415) 824-7166
Good stuff.
Came here for brunch. It is a very, very tiny place (be warned!) so either go at weird hours (we got in around 3pm, heh heh), or be prepared to wait. Any bigger groups than 2 are *not* recommended.
However, the food was excellent. I loved…More »
8. Crepes A Go Go
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 503-1294
Categories:
Creperies,
Food Stands
Neighbourhood: SOMA
Whoa, a crepe place next to clubs, open late at night, and actually has more-than-decent food?
If you happen to come here for drinks but get hungry, don't miss this "truck". The location is funky, and yes, it gets pretty cold in SF...but you can…More »
9. Dessert Republic
I've been here quite a few times for snacks and desserts. The good thing is, they open really late. You can have a late night run with some friends and still find dessert.
The place is set up like an old Hong Kong neighbourhood, which is apt because…More »
10. 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 »

Came here for lunch with a big group. The venue is nice, the place looks fancy and pretty, and we… Read more »
11. Espetus Churrascaria
This place is a steal for lunch. When we went (12:30pm on a Wed), it's almost empty, so it's easy to get a seat. And the price (less than $25 per person). That's for all you can eat meat!
They definitely have a more limited selection of meats for…More »
12. 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 »
13. Fraiche Yogurt
This is the original Fraiche Yogurt and I'm only been to this one, not the others. But I keep coming back again and again.
First, I have no idea why frozen yoghurt is so popular nowadays -- tons and tons of such shops opened up recently. I went in to…More »
14. Fu Lam Mum
After the fantastic dinner that made me nostalgic (being from Hong Kong), I decided to come back here again to check out their dim sum.
We went on a Sunday afternoon, after 2pm, so it wasn't too full. We ordered mostly normal dim sum plates, like Har…More »

I went for dinner -- so I didn't have the dim sum there and cannot say anything about that. Also, I… Read more »
15. Golden Island Cafe
This has some interesting stuff, mostly HK street fare, with bubble tea for some reason despite that being Taiwanese. I guess all that are popular in Asia anyway.
I found some of their desserts only so so, but their sago has always been raved about.…More »
16. Grand Cafe
San Francisco, CA 94102

Category:
French
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 »
17. 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 »
18. Himawari
I had a pretty bad Santa meal the day before I came here. Santa's quality fluctuates way too much. After the most recent trip to Santa, I've decided that I *need* to find another ramen place.
That's when I gave this place a try again. I've tried the…More »
19. Holy Gelato!
San Francisco, CA 94122

Categories:
Desserts,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Inner Sunset
A gelato store with a wacky interior, full of memorabilia and things to buy...Just browsing around is fun enough.
The gelato here is also very delicious. Very creamy...feels almost like ice cream but has that signature stickiness of gelato.
They have a…More »
20. Il Fornaio
Walked in around noon and the place was near empty. At around 1pm it was packed! Come early if you want to have a weekday lunch here.
I got the butternut squash ravioli and they were humongous! It was pretty tasty with little bits of nuts inside. The…More »
21. Izakaya Ginji
3.5 stars, but the service was nice so I rounded it up.
Ahh another izakaya in San Mateo. This place tries to shine with their chicken skewers.
And that's that. Fabulous chicken skewers, tender, delicious, juicy. They have a huge sake and shochu menu…More »
22. Izakaya Mai
It's really a 3.5 stars. Rounded it up.
Been here a couple times. Love the izakaya style menu at night, and the big selection of sake. The "tapas" are mostly very good, with a couple exceptions here and there, but no biggie.
I have also been here for…More »
23. Jack's Prime
We had a huge group (11 people) and they seated us quite quickly.
Overall the burgers are pretty good, there are interesting choices, but I've had better. The star of the meal was definitely the sweet potato fries and the shakes -- everybody loved…More »
24. Joe's Cable Car Restaurant
San Francisco, CA 94112
(415) 334-6699
Categories:
Diners,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Excelsior
Yes, this place seem to have a huge ego, and they even loop the food network video on the TV right by the front door. Yes, the burger prices seem to be far-fetched for a diner-style burger place. But...
Their burgers (the meat) are AMAZING!!
You have…More »
25. Kasa Indian Eatery
Indian street food. Order/pay at counter and find your own table kind of deal. Great if you just want to grab some quick good eats.
I found this place from the 7x7 best cheap eats list. While I've definitely had better Indian food elsewhere, their…More »
26. La Fondue
400th review!! I dedicate this to the wonderful Mister who decided to take me here for a fancy birthday dinner.
What's not to like about fondue? Especially fondue with fancy cooking methods and exotic meats?
We ordered the set for two, which really is…More »
27. Liang's Village Cuisine
Yay village cuisine! Yay 3.5 stars rounded up!
They serve "village cuisine" here. What is Taiwanese village cuisine, you ask? Basically, it's home food that people in Taiwan's military dependents' villages used to eat. The soldiers' didn't get big…More »
28. Little MadFish
I passed by this place when it was still under construction, and immediately noted its cute little name. Usually Japanese places have Japanese names (or mock-Japanese names), so the name certainly catches the eye.
Looking at the menu, it does seem…More »

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 »
30. Martins West Gastropub
I came here during lunch with a friend. Been hearing a lot of good things about this place and have been itching to try.
Their scotch eggs, which are tiny quail eggs as opposed to full-sized (?) chicken eggs, are spot on as a snack. Much lighter than…More »
31. Maru Maru
3.5 stars.
With all the Japanese options in San Mateo, it's hard to stand out. I think Maru Maru is trying to establish themselves as a higher class eatery as opposed to the cheap crowd pleasers littering around town.
The menu looks pretty standard for…More »
32. Mezes
San Francisco, CA 94123
(415) 409-7111
Categories:
Greek,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: Marina/Cow Hollow
I'm a bit conflicted. On one hand we had good wait service, some pretty good food, and we had a good time. On the other hand I didn't feel like all of the dishes I had was up to par.
We had a 15-people party so ordering was a bit chaotic, but the…More »
33. Mission Chinese Food
It's been hyped up by the mister's friends who live near SF mission. Being a Chinese, of course I'll have to try this place to see what it brings to the table.
The entrees are a good representation of Chinese food. They have a lot of stuff with…More »
34. Modern Thai
Just looking for somewhere to eat nearby and found that there are a lot of Thai restaurants in this area. Decided on this one, and yum, was it good.
We sat "outside", which is still an enclosed area with a heater. It had a much quieter ambience than…More »
35. Muka
Yum! We found this little gem after a search on Yelp and decided to try it out. It's at a quaint intersection off of Polk, and while Polk was full of drunk people, this place was mostly empty.
That got me skeptical at first, but I was so wrong.
We…More »
36. Ocha Tea Café
I gave TapEx 2 stars. Now it's changed and acquired a new name. The bubble tea menu changed a bit too.
It definitely changed for the good. Now, for the people who always get the same stuff, this place probably doesn't feel like it's different, but…More »
37. Old Town Sushi
This place is OK if you have a huge appetite. We ordered the sushi love boat + 2 extra rolls + uni sushi and that was enough to feed 5.
Definitely for those who love big big big-ass sushis. The uni sushi was impossible to eat in 1 or 2 bites! However…More »
38. Original Buffalo Wings - CLOSED
Good selection of flavours for the wings, and also a good selection of other items for those who decided not to have wings.
The wings come in half a dozen, a dozen (+1), 2 dozens (+2), etc. I would've liked the sizes to be more versatile because there…More »

3.5 stars.
It's great to have a place in the city serving food all night long. On top of that, breakfast food! Whoo-hoo.
I got the chili omelette -- the fried eggs they use for the omelettes are legit and very very tasty. The eggs just automatically…More »
40. Osha Thai Restaurant
I can see why this place has so many chain restaurants all over the city. It has good, solid Thai food, and pretty decent service.
The interior of the place is nice as well! Although I don't know what to make of the boob-looking sculptures...
Onto the…More »
