Dumpling Home

Great place to eat in Hayes Valley. Coming at 7:46 on a Friday is a good time, as putting your name down on the waitlist only yielded a 30 minute wait (you can grab drinks somewhere else while waiting).

For drinks, only beer and wine, so got a Prosecco.

For food, best thing on there was the juicy pork bao (first picture). Would get that again many times over.

Second best was the XLB with crab and pork. Usually I don’t like XLB, but this is definitely an exception.

The pork dumpling sesame sauce chili oil was pretty good (had a peanut taste). Also got kelp (seaweed) salad. I was indifferent (would get it again for vegetable).

The least favorite dish was the noodle with braised beef. It had a weird broth flavor. Would get something else.

Overall definitely coming back.

Dutch Kills

After eating some Chinese food at a place that had no liquor license, we ended up here, where they have some impressive cocktails.

Apparently this place ins supposed to be know for their ice. It did have some interesting shapes and curvatures, and interestingly enough I learned about what an ice chef is last week in Chicago.

The cocktail I got was called the City Hall, which was very similar to an old fashion, minus the symbols syrup.

Other drinks I got were not so fancey (to help with recovery the next day). Those were a Prosecco, and Basil Hayden on the rocks.

Gino’s East

Went here for my first deep dish pizza in Chicago.

Got a Prosecco to start and a Caesar salad.

For pizza, got the meat lovers option and a custom one (meatballs and green peppers). We got the smaller size for each, which was a good amount for 3 people.

I would order all the above again (the cheesiness reminded me of pizza but), but thinking the meatballs kinda made my stomach flush everything out (so would try something else).

Chicago Q

We went to this place before going to The Second City in Chicago.

Had a Prosecco for a drink. Always great.

For the main, got the pulled chicken. I would definitely order it again (but it was a lot). (Adding bbq sauce to it was key). For sides, the Mac and cheese was bomb.

Wabi Sabi

This restaurant is on site at the Garden Tisno. Got to say that the service is super slow (from food delivery to getting the bill).

In terms of food, the prawn linguini was ok (sauce was a bit sour for my taste). Also, ordered a Prosecco, and it was too flat (and didn’t taste right.

On a later day got the lemon juice. It was freshly squeezed, but also too sour.

Alviz

We found this restaurant by basically following our noses. The smell from the outside was of really good pizza.

When we got to the restaurant, they took us to the back where there was garden seating.

I got tagliatelle with beef (in some sort of mushroom sauce). It was really good. Also paired it with Prosecco, and have to admit the Prosecco here is also really good (there’s a hint of sweetness to it, and it isn’t too bitter. Definitely would come back here again.

PS. Also tried my friend’s mushroom chicken and grilled zucchini, and they did not disappoint.
