Favorite cocktails in the city. Small intimate space that's good for catching up with a friend (or a book)
Beer, wine, and cheese. Get here around and 5:30 and have your pick of any seat in the house. Cozy and comfy.
divine soft boiled eggs ♥ their karaage and salmon tartare are incredibly tasty - almost, but not quite, on par with the ramen itself :)
Amazing view of the city. Great work out as well if you take the stairs all the way up from 15th.
Listen to what everyone (and I) is saying, and GET THE SOUP DUMPLINGS. Potstickers are bomb too :).
Try the Maple Bacon Latte. The coffee component gets you all jacked up and energetic, and the meat part gets you all aggressive. – Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations
What a whirlwind of crushed claws, flying crab shells, a spray of rich, moist and oh-so-tasty crab meat. This is a sign of a good restaurant. – Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations
The Hangtown Fry, an olden-day dish – oysters and eggs and bacon, too. I think if God has taught us anything, it's that he wants us to eat oysters and bacon together. – Anthony Bourdain Daha fazlasını oku.
That’s It Market liquor store has a torta stand that serves up massive sandwiches to locals. It’s really the hot dogs on the sandwich that add insult to injury. – Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations
Is this the greatest place in the universe? Nobody’s mother made roast beef like this. – Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations
Chef Chris Cosentino is a high priest of guts. Once a year he sets aside two nights to do a special 5-course, all-gut menu. – Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations
Beef roll, beef hand pulled noodles (soup), salt & pepper deep fried fish, potstickers, dumplings to name a few and pretty much everything we've tried. The food is consistently good.
Hakkasan is a downtown must. It’s a wee bit pricey, but the dim sum and crispy duck salad are worth the G’s, as are their cute savory daikon pastries designed to look like tiny carrots. Daha fazlasını oku.
The pork is real and properly cooked. My favourites are Pork Wontons, Sweet/Sour Chicken and Special Fried Rice
Best dim sum east of Masonic. Spicy cold noodles, beef chow mein, soup dumplings, green beans, lava buns, bang bang chicken - that's just my order for 2. Every single dish on the menu is on point.
The explosive chicken is a showstopper presented atop a terrifying pile of chili. However, the heat isn't overwhelming and the chicken is flavorful. Just reserve a table ahead of time. Daha fazlasını oku.
Really solid XLB, obviously. Obsessed with the garlic string beans, traditional scallion pancakes and their fried, chow mein noodles are always good to throw into the mix.
"This place is known for its crispy, spicy fried chicken. While that always gets me in the door, I never skip an order of the shrimp & leek dumplings. They are a must!" - Chef Christopher Thompson Daha fazlasını oku.
Shanghai-style pork soup dumplings, pan-fried potstickers, and the garlic bok choy are all yummy. And the hot chili oil makes everything better.
It should be a crime to come here without trying the Chef's Special Mandarin Lamb. This is a traditional Xinjiang dish. Food from that region is extremely difficult to find but they're known for lamb.
Dim sum was quite good and the xiao long bao exceeded my expectations. Skip the coffee ribs & go for the garlic pea shoots.
The beef noodle soup is the best. Don't forget pork dumplings and soup dumplings. Here's a pro tip: get the beef pancake too. They also sell dumplings frozen which are the best in the city.
Top notch. Awesome service. Delish shanghai dumplings, mushroom spring rolls, pickled cucumbers, and stuffed eggplant! Coming back soon
Best XLB's I've had in SF. Large portions with lots of flavor and delicious broth.
