Not so much San Francisco Italian, as pure unadulterated regional Italian, this family-run sparkler is free of pretension and full of love. Don’t miss the sea urchin pasta. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

Very unique menu, unlike anywhere else I've been. Fried chicken skins were amazing. Ramen with its peppery broth is my favorite in the city.

The spicy yellowtail roll is just right for when you've eaten everything in sight but you still want one more thing to round off your meal.
Very good, very fresh sushi but very limited seating. Get here early or plan to wait at least an hour. When you get seated, order everything, especially the sexy mama, fiesta roll and jalapeño hamachi
You can't go wrong with omakase, and I love their sake steamed clams. The servers are great at making recommendations, so ask away!
Bone marrow, pork belly, hamachi shots, and tasty red meats the price of small cars. Sometimes it's fun being a carnivore, and this is a decent place to celebrate it.
This is a super quality falafel. The staff is fun and friendly, the food is fresh and amazing, and they give you tons at a good price. I'll be back.
flank steak with chimichurri is one of the best I've had. Chicken empanadas are delicious - don't be turned off by the raisins.

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
It's not a cocktail menu, it's an anthology. Each drink is given its own creation myth. Be prepared to commit your time and taste buds to trying more than two.
This place slays, seriously. Everything is good and they do pitchers of the best margaritas. You will not regret coming here...until the hangover the next morning

Everything is good here. We must have ordered 9 courses and everything was delishios. Garlic shrimp, wontons and chow mein stood out though.
The lotus leaf rice wrap and shrimp stuffed bell pepper (/eggplant) are super delicious
