“I've been going to the Dublin and Livermore Sourdough sandwich shop since they opened. The food is always great, as is the service. Since I live in Livermore, I go to this place almost daily. The owners are so nice and always greet customers when they come in. I had them cater a huge pickleball event for our Tri-Valley Pickleball Club and they did an outstanding job. I highly recommend them as the premier sandwich shop in Livermore and the Tri-Valley.“
“Solid quantity and quality of food for its pretty reasonable price. Ordered a shrimp udon and though the noodles were not true udon, it was a solid quantity of food and came with six shrimp. And a bowl of miso soup. A nice environment too. Tastes pretty good.“
“Food: Top notch sushi. If you want the luxury sushi experience, look no further. The chef himself studied and worked in Japan. Super intelligent man with a lot of knowledge about Japanese sushi. I highly recommend getting the fish of the day. It will blow your mind by how the fish melts in your mouth. If not, get any black cod dish. I get it every time I come here.Service: Awesome staff who hustles to please all customers. Cant thank them enough!“
“It's wonderful to have a high quality Thai restaurant in the neighborhood. Thai Delight does a good job with the menu, and the ambience is great. Casual but very clean, quiet, and comfy. The new owners have transformed one wall into a charming mural that defies description. Service is at times uneven but mostly warm and attentive. It's become our go-to spot.“
“I recently visited for their 2024 Berkeley Restaurant Week dinner set for two, which turned to be the best bargain comparing with the ones in the past. It came with kimchi pancake, half order of KFC wings, and a bottle of beer or Soju. However, being a long-time patron, I'm very disappointed at their Yang Nyum KFC wings that are no longer crunchy and spicy. Not sure if the chef had left or they changed the recipe, but the sauce is no longer red, thick, tangy and spicy like the way that got me hooked years ago. To me, it tastes like the sweet chili sauce used for Lumpia Shanghai, one that's available in Asian supermarket.“
“Tried this place on a whim one night and was really pleasantly surprised! I love the style of personal hot pot when you get to pick all your own ingredients, but it had been a really long time since I've found one near me. I loved this place! All the ingredients were so fresh and they were very quick after we gave it to them. It was also fairly priced in comparison to Berkeley prices - it's $16 per pound and mine ended up being around $18.50. I thought it was well worth for the quick service, great food, and comforting, cozy atmosphere.“
“Best spicy food I have ever had. Super packed with flavor and absolutely satisfying! Words cannot describe how good it was.I now have my new favorite go to place. I will definitely dine here again.Vegetarian options: Spring rolls are vegetable only.Dietary restrictions: Not good for people who have peanut allergies.“
“Luke's Lobster is located in the heart of the city and jt offers a taste of Maine's famous lobster. Lobster rolls are filled with generous portions of tender lobster meat and served on buttery, toasted rolls.The menu also includes other seafood options such as shrimp and crab rolls, chowders and salads. I find small shrimp roll to be very filling as a lunch option. Crab roll, based on other Bodega Bay restaurants I visited, is just ok. I only had it once.The casual atmosphere of the restaurant adds to the overall experience.“
“Cute little place a bit off the beaten path. Ordered the Morrocan Rice with Kefta and caramelized onions and a side of hummus. The Kefta was delicious with the caramelized onions seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg (?). Really good. The tangy side salad was a nice counter-point to the Kefta. The hummus was top drawer and sprinkled generously with paprika. The only disappointment was the pita which was a bit dry and appeared (and tasted) "store bought." Taking off a star for that. If you're serving this type of food, you can't fumble something as basic and central as the pita bread. Aside from that little fail, very good.“
“I was excited to try this Ukrainian spot since I realized it’s the only Ukrainian restaurant in SF. And even though the interior and vibe of this place is very simple (I’d say it’s more like an eatery) the food is really good and authentic. Our party of 5 was interested in trying everything they have to offer and it seemed to be feasible because the menu is not large. The only option we skipped was pelmeny (as their origin isn’t really Ukrainian). So the summary is:- Borscht 5/5 Very rich taste, tender vegetables and good amount of meat- Cabbage rolls 5/5 My personal favorite! Very juicy, good quality of meat in the filling and well cooked cabbage leaves- Vareniky (dumplings) 5/5 We got vegetarian versions (potato and potato with cheese) and love them. Delicate dough, well balanced filling.- Hand roll with mushrooms 5/5 Lots of filling, good thin crust- Beets salad 5/5 Fresh and zesty!- Syrniky (cheese pancakes) 5/5 Delicate and fluffy. Raspberry jam matched perfectly for them.- Honey cake 5/5 Moist and creamy. With the honey taste in layers.- Kompot 5/5 Bright fruits flavor, not too sweet- Beer good but nothing specialDefinitely recommend this place for the quick intro to traditional Ukrainian food.“
“As an Indian who is often skeptical of the restaurants around the Bay, I was quite impressed by this.Good value for money, overall good flavor (not too whitewashed lol), great service, nice ambiance.Wish the best to this restaurant and hope they include more South Indian dishes in the future!“
“Wonderful pho, shrimp spring wraps, and fried tofu. But I especially appreciated the amazing service!! I called in my order because it was large, and I needed it quickly. The gentleman who took my order repeated it all back to me to make sure it was correct. When I picked it up, it was packed up in a box, but the server took the time to make sure the entire order was there. Wonderful food and wonderful service!!“
“The variety of the double-boiled soup (燉湯) was amazing. The steam rice with eel wrapped in lotus leaves was great. They also serve dim sum all day. The shrimp dumplings 蝦餃 is delicious. The osmanthus white sugar steam cake (桂花白糖糕) is a delightful surprise!“
“Went here after watching a show in the area. A small quaint place that is open till late. The servers were really nice and friendly. We got kinchi fried rice with chicken and spicy sauce boneless fried chicken. The spicy sauce was more sweet and less spicy and I wish it were the other way around but overall food was decent.“
“One of the best restaurants in SFO chinatown. This is one of the ONLY restaurants to open early. After looking for breakfast and finding nothing opens Until 11am- We were not impressed by chinatown in SFO. Much better in other cities. But this place saved us! Good food and good service.“
“Great experience here. Came on a Saturday night around 6:30pm and as a group of 3 were seated in less than 10 mins (no reservation). All the food we are was great, and everything that came out at other tables looked good, too. Highly recommend the dry green beans, Kung pao prawn, and egg fried rice.Service was quick and attentive. They even have high chairs.Service fee of 18% is automatically added and they request no tipping.Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!“
“Came here on Friday, after a movie (at AMC) for lunch. It's a short walk and the food is great! Much better than food court food. There's a nice traffic of what looks like regulars and no wait to be seated. The dining room has a nice cozy feel to it -- not spartan like some of the Vietnamese restaurants in Sunset. And it was very pleasantly nice to step into the cozy space. Waiter is friendly, though they seem thinly staffed so service was not very fast. We had: * Hue rolls for Appy: SO fresh, lovely bouncy rice wrap + the pork is amazingly flavored. Their Hue Roll is much better than their spring roll. The pork has an amazing smoky, rich flavor without being heavy. * Beef Bo: a little annoying that it costs extra if you want beef balls, tendons or trip, but it tasted really good. Really fresh ingredients and very satisfying. You may have to ask for the sprouts and hoisin sauce/Sirarcha. Ours came once we asked for it, but did not come by default. For me, the accompaniments (esp lime, sprouts, Thai basil and hoisin/sirarcha) really makes the Beef Bo for me SO do ask if you don't get it by default Love finding this restaurant! Tin now has 3 locations across SF, including one on Spear (which used to be called MAU), which is how I recognized to come here. Love the Tin food!! Specialty is the pork and the lemongrass chicken with rice is also super satisfying -- a little gingery & caramel-y. They really specialize in meats that have a bit of caramelization + a fresh take with an aromatic combo (like lemongrass, ginger, etc).“
“Came on a Sun around 2pm for a party of 3. There was about a 20 min wait. Great food, no complaints! We ordered the Soy Garlic Chicken (half size), Creamy Rose Spicy Rice Cake, and Beef Short Rib Stew. The chicken and rice cake were both very flavorful while the beef short rib stew was light (just how we like it). Portions are pretty big so careful not to over order. We had left over chicken and rice cake to box up! Service nice and attentive.“
“Since moving to the neighborhood a few years ago, this Chinese restaurant has become our favorite takeout spot. Their fried rice and eggplant fried tofu dish are consistently excellent, keeping us coming back for more. We appreciate the consistently delicious food and reliable service whenever we crave Chinese cuisine!“
“I ate Pad Thai. The taste was truly impressive... It was the most delicious Southeast Asian food I've ever had in my life. The price is reasonable too, so definitely!! Go try it. You really won't regret it. 4 people in my group tried every bite of the menu, and it was all really, really delicious haha.“
“We were hoping to taste the same ramen from Ippudo that we enjoyed in Japan, and this restaurant came closest to replicating that experience. The decor was beautiful, and the staff were professional. We thoroughly enjoyed our order and the overall experience. I definitely recommend it.“
“Oh my gosh! This was some of the best Chinese food i’ve had in a while. It was amazing and I loved the ban ban noodles! The service was amazing. They pour your water for you, put food on your plate, ect. I loved the atmosphere and lighting! I’m very specific with my lighting, and it wasn’t too bright but not too dark.Kid-friendliness: I am a kid! And they are so sweet and give you a nice smile.“
“I LOVE Bento & Bowls. I always order the bulgogi bowl for take out online. It’s plenty of food and it’s consistently good.I’ve never eaten at the restaurant, it’s definitely meant to be a take out spot. There are a couple small tables if you realllly want to eat there.There’s a small, free parking lot. Could park on the street too.Anyway, go here if you don’t feel like cooking dinner :)“
“Affordable delicious lunch spot for people who work in downtown sf or want to grab a quick bite! You can also call ahead to order if you're in a hurry. It's nestled in a spot that might be hard to find. There's plenty of outdoor seating. I had the Roma's club sandwich and their house sauces are so delicious! Adds a creamy and spicy kick to the sandwich. Love their Dutch crunch bread too. Will be back everytime I need a lunch spot :-)“
“I love Pho Vy! The environment is always very friendly and welcoming. Mom and pop shop located in Little Saigon. They have off menu items along with their variety of goodies on existing menu. My go to’s is their bun bo hue, bun rieu, bo kho, rice plates and all of their appetizers. Always a supporter of local mom and pop shops.“
“The food was delicious!! we got the bulgogi it was grilled and marinated to perfection! They also gave a pretty generous portion so it felt very worth the price. Also tried the combination soonduboo which was soooo yummy. Definitely worth trying this place out if you’re looking for authentic Korean “
“Came here for sushi and ended up getting far more than we expected, as everything on the menu was appealing. All of the food we ordered was made fresh with quality ingredients, so much that we could taste the difference in comparison to other similar places. We loved every single dish we got... the lion king roll, three some roll, new england clam chowder croquette, tonkatsu ramen soup, and tuna and hamachi toro (it was all so good, the leftovers were minimal). We also received quick and attentive service, the one employee taking care of all the tables was super friendly and made us feel welcome. The restaurant was clean and inviting, with simple and charming decor and lighting creating a great ambience for date night... or any night! :)“
“It's not easy to find a restaurant overseas that serves Korean food like this, but I really enjoyed it. The portions are generous and you can really taste the taste of Korea. In particular, the seasoned chicken tastes like it's sold in Korea. I'm still eating it, but I already want to come again. Photos I should have taken it a long time ago, but it was so delicious that I ate it all.Kid-friendliness: There are high chairs for children and non-spicy menu items that children can enjoy.“
“Food:Baked crab dip - 8/10Scott's Boston style clam chowder - 7/10Scott's manhattan style clam chowder - 6/10Daily special risotto - 5/10Right before we left SF we decided to stop by this chowder house and it was a good call. The weather was getting cold and the bowl of hot clam chowder definitely hit the spot. Out of the two styles, we preferred the Boston style better but definitely try both if you have the chance. The baked crab dip was super yummy! Restaurant was nice and clean, very nicely decorated.“
“Great soul food. Very heart warming and tastyyy! I was excited for the soondubu and I liked their idea of a mixed platter that came with protein, rice, japchae, and salad! Unfortunately, we weren't much of a fan of the fried chicken, it was a bit heavy on the breading. But nonetheless, spacious place with kind and responsive service.“
“This place is such a sweet little cozy place. Basic interior but really comfortable. We found the food to be very good and very fresh tasting. A sweet little spot on the main strip. Worth checking out truly enjoyed.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu“
“This place is located right on Pier 39. Park in the structure rather than the street. Car break-in are high jn this area.Expect to wait in line on weekends. Bread bowl clam chowder was good. Sodas had free refill but not for coffee. Staff were helpful. Limited indoor dining. It's not good for groups. Outdoor dining is also available.Parking: Avoid parking in the streets. Park in the structure to avoid break-ins.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly environment.“
“My husband and I stopped in for sandwiches. Everything there is pre-made which they call Grab and Go. I had the Coronation Chicken and my husband had the Tarragon Chicken. They were delicious and the prices were reasonable. We also had a Southwestern Salad which was good but I thought it could use more corn and black beans. I understand that food costs are really high. They have a few tables to eat in. They also have Take and Bake dinners which I want to try. I think those have to be pre-ordered. We will be back even though it's a bit of a drive for us.“
“If you are from Oakland, you’ve probably heard of Vien Huong, which has been my go to and I’ve been going there since I was a little kid. However… my friend recommended me to Thanh Ky and I was reluctant at first to cheat on Vien Huong but… I’m glad I did. They offer the same type of noodles but.. the taste is totally different. I usually get the combination with the fat egg noodles and soup on the side.Vien Huong: their egg noodles are different, a less eggier. The price is about $3-4 dollars more than TK. Their bowls are bigger and you get more foodThanh Ky: their egg noodles are very yellow and contain much more egg. Sometimes they don’t cook the egg noodles enough and it’s a little gummy. Bowls are cheaper in price but are smaller. However, the overall flavor has more oomph than VH. It’s more flavorful, a little saltier, more garlicky and the fried pork skins are a nice guilty touch.I’m a big fan of TK now but I still go back to my roots at VH but I find it’s less often. Total meal for two combination noodles at TK is around 35 dollars and at VH is almost 43.“

“The traditional soup on bread is good, but I think just to try it and have the experience... The snacks and pizza are tastier.The most negative point of this unit is the fact that there is no bathroom on site. If you want to use the bathroom, you will have to go to the public bathroom outside the restaurant.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options.“
“Affordable, high-quality, freshly-made, and generous portions. I stop by here often when I want something healthy for lunch. I typically get the falafel wrap, comes with a side salad. Also they have a large selection of fun drinks like kombucha, flavored sparkling water, and probiotic sodas!“
