Twister (SOMA Street Food)

Thought I’d change it up a bit and go to the Other food truck place nearby, soma street food. I definitely enjoyed the chill house music the DJ was playing (although I don’t think having a DJ is a regular thing for them).

The selection for food trucks was more than Spark SF, but Sundays some of them were not open.

The place I tried was Twister, which is an Asian fusion food truck. I got the bulgogi (with salad and gyoza). I though everything tasted good, but the total cost was $15, which I think is a bit pricey for what I got.

Bouchon

We got the fixed price meal.

They started us off with some French pastries. From the picture below, the lemon cupcake tasted the best.

For drinks, I got a mimosa and mojito. The mojito here was better than the mimosa.

For the appetizer, I chose the salmon salad. It was pretty delicious (definitely made the right choice).

For my main, I got the corn beef. It was ok, but I think I should have gotten the lobster instead.

For dessert, they have us some sweets (all of it was good, except I didn’t try the sugar coated on pictured below).

Nikki Beach

Overall, the atmosphere was very day clubbish, and they played great house music. The servers were very engaged (and also the type of guys and girls you expect to serve at beach club).

We ordered mainly sharing dishes. Food was ok, but I would come back mainly for the atmosphere of the place. I’ll let the pics describe the food we ordered (although missing from the pics is a pitcher of mohito and a pitcher of margarita).

Seiya

First restaurant I’ve eaten at in San Carlos, and it was good (but not cheap).

To start, I got the Apprentice sake sampler. To be honest, I don’t think I actually noticed any difference between the three sakes (and I still like the cloudier ones better. These ones were all clear). I do like how it was presented, and the wooden cups did add to the experience (they were surprisingly light and added to the taste).

We got the sashimi salad, which is a great deal (since you get like 8 pieces of sashimi for $17, compared to an order of 8 pieces of sashimi, which costs $32).

We also tried the soft shell crab and chicken karaage (which was actually cooked just right – not too crispy. Perhaps its the batter they used that was good).

For the rolls, we got the Jalapeño Hamachi (it’s pretty simple, and probably a California roll is even more complex), and the Great balls of fire (this one was really good. It was temperature hot and spicy. It had panko crusted spicy tuna roll with spicy mayo, unagi sauce scallions & tobiko).
