Get the amazing deep-fried mac-and-cheese cake known as the Frankaroni ($5), which is studded with bits of 4505's own bacon-studded hot dog. And you might want to add some chimichurri fries to that. Read more.
The deep dish restores our faith in pies that, who are we kidding, should really be considered casseroles. Their cornmeal crust is light but sturdy enough to stand up to an inch-deep pile of toppings. Read more.
This authentic Burmese eatery is life-changing, according to Fiona. Be sure to order the traditional tea leaf salad, made from fermented tea leaves, and sesame chicken or beef.
Okay, fine. The pretentious atmosphere is totally justified. Their coffee and pastries are phenomenal.
Check @SoMaStrEatFood on Twitter before heading down to the park. They tweet the truck list every day.
All the donuts are amazing. Maple Glazed Bacon, Orange Glaze and Chocolate Star Anise are my faves. The Four Barrel coffee here is the best on the street (don't tell Philz I said that).
Creamy housemade ricotta and tart lemon make the pancakes here as light as a feather, even when drowned in honest-to-goodness maple syrup. Read more.
Huge, delicious sandwich for $3.75! Cash only. Only downside is location - it's in the middle of sketchy handful of blocks. Pro tip: if you're walking, take Polk to Eddy
Always the best French casual bistro. The burger and baked Camembert are to die for. Go there late on Saturday nights.
Continues to deliver one of San Francisco's most superb ramen, uni, (seasonal) shirako, and friendly service with prices that won't rock your bank account. [Eater 38 Member]
Homestyle Burmese food - low on glamour and free seating, high on cheap and very good fried noodles!
Badly lit, kind of dingy, and there's a weird stand where all they serve are tacos, with a do-it-yourself salsa bar. But damnit if the meat selection isn't top-notch, subtly seasoned, and awesome. Read more.
Tasty and authentic Hong Kong dim sum. Nothing fancy, just great and traditional.
We love the tart Mixed Berry Pie, and the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, an excellent combination of sweet and slightly sour, made irresistible by a crumbly top. Read more.
The pomme d'amore is one of the most delicious things you can eat in San Francisco.
The short rib KoJa is a Korean and Japanese twist on a classic burger. The meat is marinated in a house blend that includes sugar, sake, and Korean shingo pear. All put in a rice-cake bun. Read more.
The dim sum is a little pricier than other nearby options but very good. The dumpling skins are thin and not at all gummy. Try the shrimp and pea tip dumplings and ask for a booth downstairs!
If you can handle wordy descriptions and a sometimes-moody staff, your reward is a haunt for cocktail enthusiasts that serves savory bites warranting a trip on their own merit. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
Fresh, well made, and tailored to the western palate -- dim sum your (American) grandma will like. If you want cheap and greasy (or the california cuisine influence bothers you), go to Chinatown.
