Cafe Zazee

The moment I read the menu, I could feel my mouth salivating. It is one of those restaurants where you wish you could order everything on the menu. The portions are great, the quality is wonderful, and I would go back there again someday. I enjoyed everything me and my friend order. Be warned, however, that the lines are tremendous during the weekends. I came on a weekday lunch time, which barely had any wait.

Highly Recommended!

Citrus Club

This has got to be my new favorite restaurant in San Francisco. It's your "Asian Influence Noodle Place"-- it's got a little more twist with traditional Asian dishes and it leaves you coming back for more. Seriously, I got to try three dishes... and each one was truly delightful. The house special edamame is a MUST! so are the wok-fry noodles!

Excerpt from their menu:

Shanghai Noodles tender slices of beef, shitake mushrooms, onions, bok-choy and tofu in our caramelized soybean sauce. wok-tossed with undo noodles. This is also similar to the Garlic Beef and Shitake Mushroom dish as well.

House-Garlic Edamame soy beans wok-tossed in our delicious garlic spiced soy bean dressing - try once and be hooked. You'll be sure to be lickin your fingers!

The third dish is a special dish called Coconut Curry Noodle Soup with Chicken and Wonton

Osha Thai

For almost a year I keep hearing about how good Osha Thai is. I don't really like hype, but I finally got to check it out while having dinner with Wendy and Jacky. We ordered several dishes, slightly pricier than the average traditional thai restaurant. But it was very well worth every penny! The best dish of that night was the yellow chicken curry. I reminisce about it like it was my first kiss. (LOL) We also had the catfish which was pretty good too! and the noodles (which we fought for the last noodle). I highly recommend Osha Thai. Although there are five locations, my favorite location is on Union Street.

Pacific Catch

My coworker Dao and Hannah recommended this place. And when I first tried it out, I didn't really know what to expect from Pacific Catch. I thought it would just be another nicely decorated seafood restaurant on 9th and Lincoln. However, after ordering their teriyaki salmon sandwich with sweet potato fries, I knew I'd be coming back here again and again. Did I mention the sweet potato fries are to die for? Sometimes if I am craving just the sweet potato fries, you can just go into the bar and order it to go. Or have a beer and watch some sports games on the weekends. But definitely visit one of the Pacific Catch locations (either in Marina or Inner Sunset) and try the sandwiches and their fish.

Best Chicken Tikka Masala?

I will have to give that honor to Naan N' Curry. Why? After comparing it with other chicken tikka masalas from a variety of Indian Restaurants in San Francisco, Naan N' Curry's chicken tikka masala was more consistent than the others. Yes, you may have a good tikka masala at Tikka Masala, but the next time you come in, it tastes diluted. Therefore when I crave it, I go straight to Naan N' Curry, knowing it's going to be that delicious flavorful taste I specifically crave.

San Tung Dry Fried Chicken

The mother of all chinese restaurant fried chicken! I introduce, and most of you probably have heard of this from afar, the Dry Fried Chicken from San Tung Restaurant on Irving Street. Crispy, greasy, but oh so delicious you forget about all the calorie/fat content and just leave you begging for another order. You'll realized that one order is not enough, because you and your friends/coworkers are fighting over the last piece (in a nice way).

FYI: you can also order in fractions. say you don't want two full orders, you can request a one and a half order of this dish.
