SFO: Pearl’s Deluxe Burgers

A burger place downtown where the burger is great, but the fries are sensational. Very crunchy, golden and creamy inside. With mayonnaise, you can’t stop eating. The place is simple but clean with a few tables available, since most people ask to go. Service is friendly. Once again so you won’t forget: the fries are from outer space. One of the best burgers in San Francisco and one of the best french … Continue reading

SFO: Sakana Sushi and Grill or “What a sushi!”

San Francisco has its own Japanese neighborhood, so I thought trying a sushi was a good idea. I went to the right place, Sakana, a simple sushi bar in Lower Nob Hill. The fish comes from Japan and is incredibly fresh and delicious. Toro and sea urchin were fantastic. It is not cheap despite the simple vibe: USD 50 per person with beer. But if you compare with another cities, it is so expensive, … Continue reading

SFO: Saigon Sandwich or “Best Banh Mi Sandwich ever!”

If you visit the great Asian Art Museum, do not miss Saigon Sandwich. But if you won’t go to the museum, go eat there anyway. The Bahn Mi is sensational. The bread is a crusty, very crusty It’s filled is carrot, cilantro, peppers and of course, pork. There are variations with chicken and pate. The taste is fresh, delicious. I ate the David Chang’s Báhn Mi in New York and this one in a family micro shop is much better. Ideal to take away and eat somewhere else, but there is … Continue reading

SFO: Burma Superstar or “Amazing food from Burma(!)”

I never thought I would eat Burmese food in my life. But I ate ans went crazy at BurmaSuperstar. The restaurant has more reviews in Yelp SF than other, more than 3,000 votes and 4 star rating. Nearly unanimous. Place is quite big and it always has a queue: seems that the best time is an early lunch when the restaurant reopens at 5pm. I waited about 20 minutes at 2pm and it was an amazing … Continue reading

SFO: La Trappe or “Belgian Beer paradise”

If you urge to drink a beer, nothing better than to satisfy it with Belgians. Although I was trying to be nice and asked the bartender some indications of local beers, but he sincerly said American beer is much inferior than Belgians. So, it was a festival of Trappist. The bar has a large selection, it’s worth the visit. The Belgian feel is perfect if you go to the salon in the basement. La Trappe: 800 Greenwich Street. … Continue reading

Update: this place is temp. closed until April 30th 2013 I don’t have many dietary restrictions and Tu Lan is for people who don’t have it as well . It is a tiny salon, with 8 seats at the counter, three tables and a queue with people who only want “to go”. The clientele is varied, from hippies, preppies and dealers. And obviously they are all there looking for a ridiculously cheap and delicious food. An incentive for you to go: … Continue reading
