Is this like a Chinese Version of Bon chon?

I guess you could say that. But the taste is really good and it's worth the wait to get a seat and order a plate.

Also, check out Off The Grid. Basically a group of food trucks that set up in one area in SF. I think the Friday location is still at Fort Mason. Very nice area along the water to walk and see the Golden Gate and the sunset (if it isn't foggy)

1) I like Barney's Burgers but that is me. They have one in SF but it's in the cuts. Does In & Out count?
2) All the places on Geary St are you typical Chinese spots. I thought San Tung was over rated but I am not one to wait in long lines. There is a place that is sort of the same call So that is sort of the same thing: https://www.yelp.com/biz/so-san-francisco-4
3) There are food spots everywhere but I always mention Mission as a unique area with a little bit of everything. https://www.thrillist.com/eat/san-f...rs-in-the-mission-the-best-place-to-eat-drink
4) Go see the Golden Gate Bridge. It's touristy but it's still cool to see. If you go to the Mission area, go grab some food to go and then take it to Dolores Park. Tons of people there and it's like picnicking with huge groups of people (even if they are hipsters). Also check out a SF Giants game. That is all downtown and easy enough to get tickets. Go to Twin Peaks to check out the view and get a good selfie.

Here is a huge breakdown of things: https://www.thrillist.com/entertainment/san-francisco/things-to-do-in-san-francisco-bucket-list

San Tung wings>
Click to expand...

San Tung wings are good but ain nobody trying to wait in line. A lot of other places are doing their version of dry fried wings.

I recommend Shanghai House: https://www.yelp.com/biz/shanghai-house-san-francisco

Their Dry Fried wings have a similar flavor with a thicker sauce and batter.

View media item 2464493
They also got dope shanghai dumplings and noodle soups :pimp:


Then you got Purple Kow right across the street for some boba. https://www.yelp.com/biz/purple-kow-san-francisco-2

These places are pretty far out by Ocean Beach so OP and his girl can hit up Land's End for a little hike before or after food 8)

Do not believe this guy AT ALL :lol:

Marina is a safe area, but FILLED with the frat bro types :x Tenderloin is the worst neighborhood I've been to in the US, but there are some gems here and there (usually on the outskirts of the area).

I don't get Ikes either. There is a new one that opened up sort near Van Ness. I went to the one near Union Square downtown and didn't think anything of it. There is a place call Sweet Joannas in the Financial District in SF. I used to go there a lot Good sandwiches for what it is.

And this sudden craze for boba is crazy too. I have a Boba guys on my block and there is a line all day for god damn boba. I don't get it.





I know you aren't a drinker but there is a gin bar call White Chapel sort of near City Hall. I thought that place was cool even though drinks are pricey. The bar itself looks like you are in Disneyland.

The boba spots in San Jose and San Mateo>>>>>>>>>>>>Boba Guys. It'll probably be too far and not worth the trip if you don't have a car though.

If you want something fun to do at night, hit up Urban Putt in Mission District. It's an indoor minigolf bar; I always take my friends from out of town there, and they love it.

I'd recommend El Techo, but it's a rooftop bar/restaurant that's not worth going to if you don't drink. Their drinks are on point, but the food is some of the worst Mexican food I've ever had. I usually get something from El Farolito (like many in here have mentioned) and head to El Techo for drinks afterwards

There's a lot of other places I can recommend, but you don't drink, so it would be pointless to go there :lol:

Honestly though, most of the best food spots are outside of SF and sprinkled throughout the Bay Area, so I'd highly recommend renting a car if you're into food tourism and are into Asian food that isn't Chinese (the spots in the Sunset District are pretty good since more Chinese people live around there). Only transplants or snobs that never go anywhere outside of the city will tell you otherwise

San Jose=Vietnamese Food (some of the best in the world; not many options in SF, but there are few decent ones in the Tenderloin)
Santa Clara=Korean Food (the options in SF are TRASH or extremely overpriced)
San Mateo=Japanese Food (many good options in SF, but even counting the 20 minute drive to SM, your wait time will probably be shorter in SM)
Sunnyvale=Indian Food (huge number of options)

Fremont has also been stepping up the past 5-6 years. A lot of good Taiwanese/Chinese hot pot places out there, as well as my favorite Korean fried chicken spot (KaYumi)

If you like Mexican food, I highly recommend the taco trucks in Oakland. I always stop there after a Warriors game

My cousin is one of the owners of Whitechapel. Summit there, I'll meet yall up :lol:
 
^^^^Oh word? I was surprised how many people there were when I was there on a Wednesday. A lot of older people in there as well as young. Sort of a cool spot and you would never know from the outside.

Bourbon and Branch was sort of cool too cause it's a speakeasy in SF where you need a password. It's more for the experience since drinks there take forever to make.

There is about like 4 noodle spots in the TL that are all whatever but it really is the closest place for me to get pho.

I just had Korean BBQ in LA and man, they do it right down there. This is kind of the poppin' spot in Japantown in SF for BBQ. Always tons of people there. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yakiniq-san-francisco-4

And I disagree on the Japanese food in SF. I actually believe we have one of the most bland Japanese food ever in our city. I've been to every single one of them in Japantown and they are all not good. Other spots are just used for sake bombing and the whole experience of getting drunk. There is a good ramen spot in Japantown though but that is it.

And there is a ton of Indian food in Berkeley. I got to Indian Oven near Lower Haight that has always served me well.

Got it. I don't really eat Japanese food in SF because how ridiculous the lines are; I was just going off what people usually say. I usually hit up Japanese spots in San Mateo since the wait is much shorter anyway. All of the spots I've tried so far since I moved here are pretty good. I also live right next to a Japanese market that prepares fresh meals daily, so it's pretty much all I eat when I'm at home :lol:

Yakiniq is extremely overrated to me. Yeah, it's fine, but definitely not worth the terrible wait time. On some weekends you can drive to the East Bay/Santa Clara and get your food served before you even get a table there.

And yeah, hole in the wall pho spots in SJ>>>>>>>>the ones in the TL

I honestly feel bad for the people that never venture outside of the city when it comes to food. I'm the type of person that is completely fine with driving 20-45 mins to a different part of the Bay to explore new options, but then again many people in SF don't have cars, so it makes sense why they don't make the effort.
