Evenly hot pizza, slightly sweet, delicious sauce. Be patient with sometimes slow service, they have busy moments
This is my favorite sushi spot in SF. While it's not the most incredible sushi, it is very good and it's hecka cheap.
Craig Stoll cooks Italian food here through the lens of the Bay Area: hyperseasonal, locally sourced, and as primally satisfying as the home cooking of a Tuscan nonna. The panna cotta is legendary.
Ever had an Ostrich Burger? Go here and they'll flip you "the bird"in a burger bun with aged white cheddar, bbq sauce, oil & vinegar slaw, and jalapeño relish. Подробнее.
Try the Grilled Pork Bahn Mi - I prefer this bread to Num Pang's crustier bread in New York City!
less pretentious and cheaper than the original slanted door. i highly recommend the spring rolls, papaya salad, and crab noodles.
One of the best deals in Pac Heights - fresh, delicious seafood at reasonable prices with a $5 glass of house white to wash it down with!
Try La Mediterranea for cheap and quick entrees with friendly service. We love the Chicken Pomegranate!

I'm not a big salad guy, but that brunch Smoked Trout Salad was insanely good, especially with The Maven Bloody Mary and luxurious Billionaire's Bacon. Read all about my visit on WinstonWanders below! Подробнее.

All of the food was tasty and competently made, just a bit simple for me. If that's what you like get the chorizo & egg pizza or green pea fritters and read all about my visit on WinstonWanders below! Подробнее.
Cute café with solid sandwiches (breakfast sandos are actually <$5...as they should be). Great place to camp out and work as well (head upstairs).
Friday is the best night at the Mint. With a full bar & a big stage, the singers here range from 1st-timers pushed into the limelight by their friends to full-blown crooners with American Idol dreams. Подробнее.
Try the raw, vegan food. They have zucchini pasta, vegan sushi, raw, vegan lasagna, avocado chocolate mousse, carrot thai pasta and pitaya bowls. You can also uder on UberEats app
The best Sushi Boat restaurant in SF! Take your time as the chefs will change up their offerings over the course of the night! I recommend splitting one boat at a time.
If you make it till midnight, Champagne and oysters are half price until closing at 2 a.m. Подробнее.
Hi Tops consulting chef Jamie Lauren's darkly fried version of the fried chicken sandwich with sweet slaw and a soft, eggy brioche bun is a particularly good one. Goes great with a pitcher of beer. Подробнее.
THE go-to afternoon soup and salad bar in town. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Broad variety of chips, frozen deserts, drinks, and chips to top off your lunch.
Tried brunch chilaquiles and heuvos rancheros. Delicious with the chicken tinga added.
The bartenders are friendlier & the crowd is a lot more local. Plus, the décor is AK-47-heavy but fun. Sunday nights, where the live jazz is free, is a mellow way to wind down. Подробнее.
What a great venue -- small and intimate, but large enough that you'll get the occasional last minute show from a big name. Be sure to get on their mailing list to get last minute concert updates.

For breakfast/brunch food, the homemade granola is delicious and the avocado toast with egg is flavorful and filling. For lunch, the salads are excellent and large. Ask the cashier for recs if unsure.
Part craft beer bar, part vintage arcade, the place has a well-curated local beer selection with 25 taps, plus 24 video game consoles, including Big Buck Hunter, Pac-Man, and Joust. Подробнее.
this spot has the rockingest jukebox in the 'hood and a smoker's porch to hammer another nail in the coffin. We know we'll meet a Suicide Girl here someday.
Nostalgic breakfast to the max. All the classics executed excellently. Fluffy pancakes, salty crispy bacon, big omelettes, packets of jam, dinner coffee, & Aunt Jemima syrup. Simple and awesome food.
Inventive menu. Laminated brioche with jidori egg aioli was delicious. Stuffed chicken wings were good, especially the ones with gyoza filling. Dungeness crab donabe and tuna & cheeks were okay.
It's the only 24-hour diner in the Castro, and they do a pretty decent burger, as well as breakfast all night long. Also, Playboy once named it among the Top 10 Late-Night Diners in the country. Подробнее.
What an awesome little place! Perfect location in the heart of the Castro when you need a quick slice! Great variety of toppings!
Metro makes a great west coast cheesesteak. The house cheesesteak is my favorite but go for what you love you will not be disappointed.
A delicate glazed choux bun that’s shaped like a doughnut filled with French custard—unlike a Cronut, Choux's chounut is made from pâte à choux, a light and delicate dough that puffs up in the oven.
Been coming here since it used to be called Big Sherm's. Awesome sandwiches. If you like tuna try #7, it's not your mama's tuna sandwich. Brie sandwich also rocks!
Really unusual texture, but ultimately extremely delicious. The Black Sesame shaved ice was awesomely bold & nutty and paired really well with the mochi and condensed milk toppings. WinstonWanders.com
The menu is simple, casual, and straightforward, revolving around a core quartet of sandwiches and designed for grab-and-go business. There are a handful of seats, all located in a light-filled room. Подробнее.
I love this place! The ladies who work here when I visit are so kind and pleasant, and I've never had a meal I didn't love. My favorite is the kimchi dol sot!
Pretty decent, above-average shabu-shabu. I like that they are open all day, and not just dinner time. Meat and veggies were fresh, and friendly staff! Dinner for one at the bar, totally doable.
Really nice place, surprised to see it tucked in a quiet corner across from Kinokuniya. The food was excellent, the oyako donburi tasted delicious, as did the Uni Ikura and crab donburi with Udon!
They have khao soi, a curry soup/noodle dish from Northern Thailand, and it is delicious and authentic. Also, the pumpkin curry is equally authentic and tasty. We'll definitely be coming back soon!
Instantly my favorite hole in the wall ("Tenderloin style") Indian spot in the city. Great food, inexpensive, open late, and lovely people and energy.
Jajah myong (black bean paste noodle) or zazang myong was calling my name! So, good and the price is reasonable for the noodle dish, but the main dishes are pretty pricey!
Order your sandwich on a whole wheat roll and share it with a friend; it's like ordering two sandwiches.
Nothing beats the combination of Barbecue Shrimp N’ Creamy Grits and 1300 on Fillmore delivers! Order the grits as an appetizer for your dinner and enjoy it with the complimentary cornbread. Подробнее.
Fantastic fish for reasonable prices! Warm homey atmosphere with occasionally pokey (but endearing) service. I'd recommend the blackened salmon with beurre blanc sauce. Great wine specials on Mon/Tue
Amazing quality and cheap sandwiches in Castro. Grab and go then eat outside across the street.
Mufftata with goat cheese and a snowy plover make a great little brunch. This place is fussy but has all the things you secretly love: bone broth, heavy cream, gluten free, vegan, girls in yoga pants.
Super yummy chicken rice! I got the original and it was great. Portions are pretty big. Fast and friendly service. I also added a soft boiled egg to mine!
The authentic Thai Food, guaranteed by Thai travellers! Friendly staff and reasonable price. Recommended!
My favorite sushi place in the Castro. The snow roll and the tsunami roll I crave constantly. Such good fresh sushi
Excellent sushi. Go beyond crazy American-born rolls and explore the truly great fresh fish. The sushi chef will always tell you what's best that day.
The Pot Stickers and Soup Dumplings are legit. Not overpriced and really hit the spot when a dumpling craving strikes. Hot & Sour Soup is outstanding too. WinstonWanders.com
If you're looking for interesting preparations of super-fresh seafood with some ambiance, this is the place. Everything is delicious, but don't miss the namesake raw fish crudos. WinstonWanders.com
On Sunday nights, there's a Japanese pop-up. The Curry Ramen is delicious with chewy, al dente noodles, two big pieces of crispy fried chicken, and a thick, rich, brown curry broth. WinstonWanders.com

On Wednesdays, this BBQ shop serves up a pretty darned delicious pastrami sandwich. The meat is impressively smokey, thick-cut, & well-spiced. I just found it just a touch dry. WinstonWanders.com

Save it for a very special night out becuase it's on the pricy side, but they have outstanding fish in a quiet elegant atmosphere. Don't miss the Sakura Masu (Cherry Salmon) Nigiri. WinstonWanders.com
Fish quality far exceeded my expectations. Music and decor was a little clubby, but the nigiri was really outstanding. Plus they have good happy hour deals from 5-7. WinstonWanders.com
Quite good and incredibly authentic poke, almost to a fault. Sustainable fish just like at Tataki sushi with minimal add-ons or sauces unlike many of their Americanized competitors. WinstonWanders.com
I didn't expect much, but they make quite a respectable Bagel with Lox – especially for SF. They pile the lox high and the bagels actually have the right chewy and crispy texture. WinstonWanders.com
Between the extremely high-quality coffee-based beverages & baked goods from Manresa Bread, this cafe is an outstanding addition to the neighborhood. Beautifully designed space too. WinstonWanders.com
Korean fried chicken is given its due at this surreptitious pop-up helmed by NYC chef Deuki Hong, who pairs his fried bird with soft-serve tea from Straus Family Creamery.
San Francisco's secret best burrito. Try the Super Burrito with Al Pastor, and ask for the spinach tortilla.
The famed Angry Korean Wings really are worthy of all of the hype. The sweet and spicy gochujang glaze pairs perfectly with those moist, meaty, crispy chicken wings. Read more on WinstonWanders below! Подробнее.
Stopped by during the Cherry Blossom Festival and they were making a damn good rendition of takoyaki. The flavors & textures were spot on & they had a very nice portion of octopus. WinstonWanders.com
I think this is the best indie grocery store in SF. When I worked on Haight, I would get lunch here every day. They have a variety of salads, sushi, and sandwiches ready to go at their deli counter.
The newest addition to Sightglass Coffee! Has a similar vibe as the mission location with more seating and some great unique upgrades (check out those beautiful light fixtures behind the bar!!).
I get the chipotle mayo steak sandwich almost every time--so good! And not pretentious and/or hippy-laden, unlike much of this area.

Some of the best sandwiches in the city, and very inexpensive. Looks like a shack outside, but they have a 100 health score.
This tiny & practically hidden sushi gem punches way above its weight class. Prices are extraordinarily reasonable for the super-fresh fish they're serving. Rice is just right too. WinstonWanders.com
These baked goods are so delicious you won't even realize that they're all completely vegan and gluten-free. Seriously. Definitely don't miss the incredible Lemon Bars. WinstonWanders.com
The cocktails are really sweet. The yokurt and the matcha monitor are amazing. The food is also really really good too. The dolsot is slightly too big for just one person. Definitely recommend sharing
Pretty classic ice cream flavors (some surprises, but mostly standard), done very well. It's thick & cream and they offer a variety of nostalgic toppings like cinnamon toast cereal. WinstonWanders.com
This has become my healthy quick dinner choice. I normally get the combo gyro but will get one of their larger dishes when I’m really hungry. And don’t forget to try the Turkish wine!
The smoked trout rilettes sandwich, the cinnamon bun. Finally: real Scandinavian open face sandwiches in the US.
Woah, this place is REALLY GOOD. Very authentic Mediterranean flavors. Loved the Lamb & Chicken Shawarma Wrap. Get it "spicy", the creamy chile tahini-type sauce is delicious. WinstonWanders.com
I love the mystery of seeing what sushi comes floating around this small sushi boat bar. You never know what's coming next, but nearly all of it is very fresh and totally delicious. WinstonWanders.com
Great beer place on divis, former owner of Hamlet and Caskhouse in Noe. Like a larger version of Caskhouse.
The house bowl of Hinodeya Ramen is truly wonderful. Loved the chew of the noodles and rich, savory broth - all perfected with a heaping scoop of the chili garlic condiment, Tabera. WinstonWanders.com
