My new favorite place in the sunset! Authentic Chinese food, delicious dumplings and noodles--I'm partial to the beef tendon and spicy beef (one of the specials on the wall, not on the menu).
Cheap and hearty pho. The best. Get the one with chicken
Pros: Incredibly nice staff, free (but sometimes kind of slow) wifi, convenient location, decent place to get work done. Cons: knitting parties on Monday nights that take up 20 seats. Wtf
Giant portions, tofu scramble is delightful (not vegetarian though, includes sausage), hash browns are crisp. Cash only
Simply awesome place. Food is amazing. Service is friendly. Excellent for vegans, folks who keep Kosher, and folks who love tasty food.
Not the best Indian food I've had, but the staff is incredibly nice! Also comes with chai and rice pudding.
Great place to see any free concert on a good weather day, but foggy most others. Bad place to be if you are allergic to mosquitoes or have a seat on the hill.
The rainforest is super cool. Also I hear good things about the planetarium but have only gone for nightlife (Thurs, $12, 21+) and am always late.
Free entry before 10am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Great city walk Fridays @ 9:30am also.
This place is good but overhyped. Long wait even at 2pm and the eggs in jail was a tad too runny. The bread is great though
There's a sign that says CASH ONLY but they actually take card too.
Soup dumplings, spicy tofu, spinach dumplings, string beans and tsing tao. Reservations are helpful. Not fancy, lots of local families. Great for a group.
The dry fried chicken wings and string beans are legit. Otherwise, call me crazy, but this place is a tiny bit overrated. You can skip the line and get takeout from next door--20 minute wait.
Tiny, sometimes longish lines but never more than 30min. You will leave smelling of food. Seafood pancake!
It's a small space but packed with plants. Bring a friend who knows a lot about plants to get the best experience
Philo T. Farnsworth, inventor of the television, had these steps dedicated in his honor near the house he lived in while he was developing the first all-electric "television system" in the late 1920s.
Great little cheese shop with fresh pasta, freshly made sandwiches, knowledgeable staff. The sandwiches would be better toasted but are good regardless
The falafel is good. Platters are inexpensive and very salty (which can be good or bad)
Cash only, toasted. Funny dynamic between the mom and her sons. All the sandwiches kind of taste the same if you get everything on them (mustard, vinegar, etc.), but it's a good taste.
Great vegetarian and meat options, honey wine, ambiance, super friendly owners. (i.e. One of them saw me struggling to carry my bike up the stairs after a long ride and carried it up for me!)
Cool little addition to the neighborhood! Fits in perfectly with punk/alt vibe of this section of the 'hood.
Much smaller than the one on Clement and does not buy your books but arguably better organized, has regular readings.
Incredibly friendly staff. Wifi. Plentiful seats and outlets, except no outlets by the window. Delicious toast. Get the Hangover. They serve Four Barrel. This place is amazing.
A bit hidden but so good! Cheap, fresh, authentic, cash only. Shrimp dumplings (with or without chive), turnip cake, delicious hot sauce at the tables.
Pizza after 11am, great focaccia, sourdough scones, outdoor area. Cash only up to $10
Fresh, hand pulled noodles are the star of the show, and the atmosphere is worthy of date night. Don't miss the Qishan Minced Pork Noodles.
Okay, the service is a tad slow but much improved. The sushi is pretty fresh, and I like that the chirashi includes seaweed salad. Also good presentation
I love the falafel wrap, and they offer a 10% ucsf student/employee discount
Visit the Garden of Fragrance and see which scents you can identify
Great Asian market with low prices on produces. Live fresh fishes. Butcher to cut your meat.
It's not something to call home about, but it's definitely not bad. The garlic noodles are really good.
A friendly, family-run joint, there's tons of imported asian fare, from cleaning supplies to shampoo to candies and food. Check out the little freezer by the register for the really great stuff!
Try out the samples at the Hummus Heaven booth! Artichoke Hummus & Chipotle Hummus are my faves!
On a clear day, check out the view from the Lange Room on the 5th floor.
Climb up Strawberry Hill and relax among the man-made waterfalls and the grassy clearings. Admire the view of SF.
Bonfires are allowed in the pits between Lincoln Way & Fulton, directly west of the park. No fires are allowed on "Spare the Air" days or on days of extreme fire danger.
Trouble's slabs of toasted brioche are slathered with butter, then crusted with cinnamon and sugar for the ultimate coffee accompaniment. It's the OG San Francisco toast, and it's not messing around. Leer más.
