1. Fuzio
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 392-7995
Categories:
Italian,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I think I'm going to add this to my "yay! it's lunch time" list. It's not legitimate Italian food, but I do enjoy their pizzas. It's centrally located on the mezzanine level of Embarcadero One. I love the outdoor seating area on the bridge, so if…More »
2. Focaccia Market & Bakery
San Francisco, CA 94111

Categories:
Sandwiches,
Delis,
Caterers
Neighbourhood: Financial District
This is my new go-to spot for lunch! The lines are always so long, but it's definitely worth the wait. Since it's so centrally located in the Embarcadero area, this place is always filled with suits (suits: people who wear suits/professional attire…More »
3. Buckhorn Grill
San Francisco, CA 94111

Categories:
Sandwiches,
American (New),
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Another one of my favorite lunch places in the Embarcadero/FiDi. I love that it's right at the end of the Embarcadero buildings, so you can grab a seat outside and enjoy the beautiful view of the Ferry Building in the Justin Herman Plaza.

Neighbourhood: Financial District
*for the take out window*
This little take-out window is attached to the Royal Exchange, a traditional American sports bar. I haven't been to the Royal Exchange, but the Royal Express looked promising as I walked by it in the morning.
Lunch time came…More »

Categories:
Vietnamese,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Embarcadero
It was a beautiful warm and sunny day in downtown San Francisco. The Slanted Door is located right at the edge of the Ferry Building, and it has a gorgeous view of the Bay Bridge.
There was a huge line when we got there (12pm on a Tuesday - your…More »
6. Hon's Wun Tun House
Welcome to Hong Kong! No really.. I felt like I was in a little noodle house in Asia. Why? They have a huge soup pot right next to the window (like they do in Asia), so you can watch them pour the yummy broth over noodles or wontons - it's a great…More »
7. Caffe Ida
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 246-8449
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Caffe Ida is a quick and convenient spot to grab a cup of coffee if you're on the run. It's just a simple little window, nothing fancy, but they make a pretty mean latte. Plus, they get their cookies catered from Anthony's! (that's a big deal...…More »
8. Gambino's New York Subs
San Francisco, CA 94111

Categories:
Delis,

Neighbourhood: Financial District
Oh my goodness, I LOVE LOVE LOVE their cold subs - East Coast style (includes shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, onions, olive oil, vinegar, salt & pepper, herbs). The sandwich that won me over was the Turkey Hot Coppa & Cheese cold sub. Sounds…More »
9. Pizza Orgasmica
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 834-9600
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Aw, big bummer for such mediocre ratings. I'm actually quite happy with this place.
Once again, it's lunch time and I don't have a clue on what I want to eat. There are so many great restaurants in the area, so what to choose?! As I'm asking my…More »

Boudin SF Combo: Clam Chowder & half Turkey Avocado Sandwich. Enough said.
Call in for pick-up. Save yourself some time :)
11. The Melt
San Francisco, CA 94111
Category:
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Alright, I really don't understand the hype about this place.
I guess it's "different" from your average deli - they only serve grilled cheese sandwiches and soup. They have a nice variety of soups, but I honestly like the sandwiches more (so I…More »
12. Crocker Galleria
San Francisco, CA 94104
(415) 393-1505
Category:
Shopping Centers
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Why didn't I find out about this place sooner??? In my defense, it's kind of hidden.. ok not really, maybe I'm just really oblivious to awesome spots. It adds a nice touch to the FiDi.
First of all, I love that it's a tri-level structure with a…More »

Punjabi by Nature burrito with chicken. Done. I'm hooked!
This concept is truly brilliant. Who would've thought putting curry into a burrito would be such a genius idea!? No wonder people are always patiently lined up here - rain or shine. Their…More »
14. El Porteno Empanadas
San Francisco, CA 94105
(415) 357-3621
Category:
Latin American
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Alright folks, I know it's been a while since my last review.. but I absolutely HAD to write one after my first bite into these wonderful empanadas. For the most part, I prefer my empanadas savory, but I don't think I've tried one that I did not…More »
15. Osha Thai
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 788-6742
Category:
Thai
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I've been to several of the Osha Thai restaurants, and every single one of them has their own unique flare in decor. That's probably my favorite part. This particular Osha Thai sits conveniently along the Justin Herman Plaza in the Embarcadero, so…More »

Buffets
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I didn't know this place existed until about a few days ago. It's a bit hidden, but still pretty busy around lunch time. They have a buffet style salad bar, but it's not just salad! They also have tons of other delicious hot foods - noodles,…More »
17. Tropisueño
Why didn't I know about this place sooner!? YOU MUST GET THE GUACAMOLE! It's absolutely amazing. The avocados are ripe and packed with flavor, and I know it's so simple you can make it at home, but still.. you need to try it! As with any Mexican…More »
18. Mijita
I always walk by this place.. wanted to try it.. but the menu doesn't really entice me... At $4 a taco, they better be amazing tacos! Unfortunately, they're not. I thought they'd be a little bigger, but I finished my carnitas taco in 3 bites. On…More »
19. R & G Lounge
DING DING DING! We have a winner for my new favorite casual Chinese restaurant. I didn't know it was such a huge restaurant. With three floors and people out the door waiting no matter what time you go.. you know this place is rockin'! I guess…More »
20. Hunan Homes Restaurant
Hm, what's the hype?
In all honesty, the food tasted like Panda Express food.. maybe slightly better. For a Chinese restaurant that is right smack in the middle of Chinatown, I was not that impressed. Surprisingly, there are still a decent amount of…More »
21. Breaking Bread

(415) 318-1800
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Delis
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I love breakfast sandwiches. I don't need anything complicated, just eggs and cheese.. but it has to be melted together.
Ever since I started working in the FiDi, I've been trying to seek out all the best breakfast/lunch joints. I must say,…More »
22. Stone Korean Kitchen
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 839-4070
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Alright, if I'm rating this based on the institution of it being a Korean restaurant, I'd give it 2 stars. Why? Because real Korean food does not taste like this. It's too pretty, too controlled, and too Westernized.
After all, it IS right in the…More »

This is such a brilliant idea! It's a creme brulee CART! Not truck.. it's a CART! Creme brulee on the go!!
I don't know about most people, but I only order creme brulee after a nice meal in a fancy restaurant. It's not something I have on the…More »

Dim Sum
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Wow this place gets PACKED during FiDi lunch hours. Luckily, our party of 12 had reservations and we were seated immediately.
Before I start, let me explain what dim sum is. I usually like to call it Chinese tapas. It's a bunch of small…More »

San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 989-1168
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I guess if you're madly craving Asian food in the FiDi during lunch hour, it's not a bad place.
This place is lacking some warmth. It's just a restaurant where you order at the counter, find a spot to sit, and they deliver your food to you. It…More »

San Francisco, CA 94111

Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Why didn't I discover this place sooner?!
I take it that their speciality here are their burritos. They have so many wonderful options and a whole menu dedicated to seafood! Gotta love that!
I usually cannot handle a burrito during my lunch hour.…More »

I think this place has become one of my favorite spots for lunch in the FiDi.
It's fast.
Casual.
Food's great.
Service is always impeccable.
I always have such a hard time deciding what I want.
I know it's not a 'legit' Philly Cheesesteak (no they do…More »
