Ramen Underground
A few co-workers wanted to hit ramen for lunch but I was a bit busy with a few things at work so declined. However, I was curious where they were going given there are no decent ramen places near work. So I asked. And when they said, “Ramen Underground”, I was in. It’s located along...
PPQ Dungeness Island – Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Everyone! I’ve been dying for dungeness crab ever since the local crab season started back at the end of November. The opportunity presented itself NYE so took full advantage of it. I hadn’t been to PPQ forever so was excited to try it again. Parking in this neighborhood is a nightmare so...
Kare-Ken (Japanese Curry House)
I had drinks tonight at 620 Jones and decided to stop by to try Kare-Ken. No one was there when I arrived a little after 9pm. What to order? I struck up a conversation with one of the owners (who was very nice) and he suggested one of the katsu curries or maybe the dry...
HRD Cafe
Freedom. I had a free Thursday which was made even better because it was super warm and sunny out. I had arranged to meet my friend for lunch at 12:15pm in front of HRD Cafe. I got there a few minutes before and was braced for a huge line based on reviews I had read....
Gialina
The past month has gone by fast! I realized I haven’t posted anything new in almost a month. So let’s break the streak! Last weekend we went to Gialina which is in Glen Park and about a 5 minute drive from our place. We’ve had takeout from there once and it was good. We were...
Plow
I am always on the lookout for new brunch places and Plow was on my radar. We tried to go a few months back but the long line outside the restaurant combined with pouring rain forced us to go elsewhere. However, this time, no line and although busy we were able to get seated right...
Super Duper Burger
Super Duper Burger was, well, super good! Parents were in town and I was in the mood for a burger. Thankfully they were too. Stepped into this place and had a nice vibe. It wasn’t too busy when we got there but was full by the time we left. I was excited to try this...
Win’s Restaurant (takeout)
Win’s is the best Chinese BBQ place I know of in San Francisco. They cover the typical food dish categories like “chicken”, beef”, “pork”, “congee”, “braised noodles”, “yee mein”, “chow mein and chow fun” but I think the best thing they have is the BBQ meats. I’ve eaten in countless times and do takeout from...
Hukilau
I haven’t been to Hukilau in years. Last time I went I wasn’t too impressed. If I remember correctly, I had kalua pork and it was super salty. Anna wanted to check it out to see if it had gotten any better since she thought it might be a good option for Lilly’s 1 year...
Wayfare Tavern
I decided on Wayfare Tavern for my belated birthday dinner. Given we were going with the kids we made an early 5pm reservation. I read no reviews on this place (on purpose) with my only information coming from seeing a few tweets from people who had gone there and loved it. Since the restaurant is...
