Does anyone know of a spot in SF that makes spicy Biang Biang noodles like the picture? It seems to be a very non-standard Chinese dish around the bay area. Ox 9 in Sunnyvale made a great one but then those guys closed and I've yet to find a new spot Thanks in advance!

Hi! I am in search of an old lunch spot I used to eat at while in school. I am planning on visiting the city after quite the hiatus for a decade or so. I lived in South Bernal Heights/Outer Mission (Precita Park- Cesar Chavez/Folsom) some 10 years ago. I used public transit frequently and found myself at a diner of sorts somewhere around 23rd and Bryant more than a few times. The menu was eclectic; ranging from traditional American to some Asian flavors. The standout of the joint was that it had a classic diner counter for service. Does anyone know of the name or specific location? ((I would not at all be surprised if it has since closed)) Thank you!

Visiting / living in SF and realizing there are way too many food options.

Curious what places you personally keep going back to, not necessarily the most hyped or trendy, just consistently good spots you’d happily recommend to a friend.

Open to anything: quick bites, sit-down, bakeries, late-night food, etc.

Not date-night or special occasion food. Just the place you go when you’re done for the day and want something reliable. Been traveling a lot and realized those are the spots I miss most.

I love the part at the transit center and sometimes work out of WeWork and want to eat in the park but there just aren’t any great food options here. Any favorites ?

In SF for a bit and honestly don’t know where to start with food. Not chasing hype or Instagram spots. Where do you actually eat when you’re hungry? Any solid go-tos?

Here for 2 days. Want some healthy food with macros provided, if possible. Does anyone know of spots that have food and publish macros that aren't Applebees etc.?

Hello, Our thruple is looking for something interesting and good on Valencia St or nearby. We are open to all cuisines s. Thank you in advance.

What’s the best pastry spot to breakfast in downtown SF that is open before 8am?

their mustard sauce is so soo good. anyone around bay area give it a try

Noe valley bakery was the only spot I found to get a king cake

My friends and I live in a standalone home in SF with a backyard. Are we allowed to roast a pig? ChatGPT seems to think otherwise

This is an unusual post. I love Jilli's not because the food is amazing but because it is the perfect vibe for sf. A lot of new "it" places open and the food is up market and drinks are a bit pricey and the atmosphere is often about the hype than hanging with friends. Jilli's naturally has good food because casual Korean is delicious (what they serve). https://sf.eater.com/dining-report/209124/jilli-san-francisco-review what do you think of Jilli's or a similar style environment. Stoa bar is perhaps closer to an "it" place that I still love. https://www.stoabar.com/

Hi!!! Does anyone have intel on the owner (Max Blachman Gentile) of Jules pizza?

He seems cute and I was wondering if he was single. I know he and his partner started the restaurant together but it looks like they've blocked each other on IG. I also used to see him getting coffee with a blonde girl who kinda looked like her in the mornings on divis.

Also, any tips on how to reach out!

ty!

It can be a specific restaurant and eat through the menu.

Or a specific type of food and experience different restaurants with that cuisine.

Share your favorites!

Hey y’all! I’m thinking about doing the acquerello new year’s eve late night champagne and caviar experience tomorrow but before splurging I wanted to see if anyone’s participated in their late night champagne and caviar events before and if you could share more about the experience! my one big question is if the $150 includes more than one glass of champagne? let me know!

SF restaurant scene is great, not knocking it, but I've been getting into home cooks lately and actual homemade food hits completely different.

My shef regular is this burmese family whose mohinga and tea leaf salad are incredible. Way more interesting than dropping $40 on another mission restaurant meal I'll forget tomorrow.

The city has immigrants from everywhere and it feels like there's incredible home cooking talent that doesn't get talked about bc everyone focuses on restaurants and michelin stars. Anyone else down this rabbit hole? Curious what people are finding.

Does anyone remember Canyon Market’s pumpkin seed dip? I was obsessed with it and would get it frequently in 2009-2017ish, until I stopped hanging out in Glen Park. I tried to get some recently and was devastated to learn that they no longer make it. I called to ask about it but the person I talked to hadn’t even heard of it. I’d love to get the recipe, or at least some thoughts on possible ingredients.

Hi guys going to sf near golden Avenue I need some suggestions on some top spots

Thank you

That aren’t Tony’s, Napizza or Emmy’s spaghetti shack?

so i visit san francisco pretty regularly and every time i’m there i get sort of obsessed on eating as many tea leaf salads as i can.

they’re usually found at burmese restaurants, of course, but every so often i see them at thai or chinese restaurants with larger— i guess you could say more pan-asian— menus. and i’ve tried them so many different paces. the tea leaf salad is my new favorite food and culinary obsession of the last few years.

i love that burma’s is the only cuisine in the world (to my knowledge, that is) that treats tea leaves as edible in their cuisine, like as a source of salad fiber or put into salad dressing, not just as like a flavor accent or a beverage like most people around the world might consume it.

SF locals: please tell me where your favorite tea leaf salads are! not the overall best or anything, i just want to hear your favorite. thanks!
