South Beach Cafe

Went here to work since they close at 9pm.

I actually got a breakfast item even though it was dinner. I got the ham, cheese, and egg focaccia. Overall, delicious and worth the price.

I also got the mimosa, which I believe had orange juice that was freshly squeezed. It was one of the best mimosa’s I’ve had!

The only complaint about this place is that it has flies. They can be distracting when trying to work.

Ajisen Ramen

Overall, ramen was good. I got the Ajisen Best Ramen combo, which had a good variety of meat (tender pork ribs, premium pork, and BBQ pork). I would come back here again.

Perry’s

This is one of the restaurants I wanted to try as I was walking along the Embarcadero. I gotta say, not sure if I’d come back, mainly since I didn’t like my main dish.

I got the penne, and asked them to add chicken. I think I was expecting more of a tomato sauce rather than an oil based sauce.

They also do have a full bar, so that is one plus (except no lychee, so I got a lemon drop).

Lao Table

A great Thai restaurant I would come back to.

At this place we ordered a bunch of small dishes (didn’t take picture of any of them). From what I recall, we ordered the grilled calamari, the vegetable crispy spring rolls (I thought this was good since it was basically lumpia), the wings, and the khaw kai noodle bowl (this was basically chicken with rice noodles).

For my drink, I got their special (pictured below) called the pineapple millionaire. And yes, I would get it again (it had the right amount of sweetness).

For dessert, also pictured below, we got the mark mango. The combination of coconut cream and sticky rice, shaved ice plus mango was AMAZING!

El Porteno

I was walking along the Embarcadero on July 4th, and happened to walk by this place.

I ordered the “carne” empanada. I’ve gotta say, this is probably the highest quality fast food empanada I’ve ever had.

Lady Saigon (Spark SF)

This is the second time I had food from this food truck. I really like the noodles from it. The meet (both the hockey and pork) is just ok. Admittedly if there were no noodles, I probably would not get food from here.

Also, one should note that I think the food made my stomach upset :/

Shangri-La Vegetarian Restaurant

A vegetarian friend was visiting, and we were hungry, so we decided to try this place out.

We got the hot and sour soup, crispy chow main, vegetarian spring rolls, some “beef” dish, vegetarian dumplings, and some “tofu” dish. I would get everything again but the chow main (and possibly not get the tofu dish as it was a bit salty for my taste).

La Mar

We went to this restaurant for a friend’s birthday. I would come back to this place, and probably order a couple of the same dishes (given that when I went there, I didn’t have that much of an appetite).

For appetizer’s we had the beef and chicken empanada’s. I was expecting the beef to be better, but the chicken one was really good.

For a drink, I got a mimosa and lychee martini (I was surprised they had lychee). I will say, I wish the lychee martini was a bit sweeter.

For my main, I got the Ariz con Pollo (roasted chicken). It was good. I remember being a really big fan of the rice underneath it (and the chicken wasn’t too dry).

One thing I will get next time (although it is a bit pricey) is the adobo. A friend had it, and it was better than the dish I got.

Sarku

This is a fast food Japanese restaurant in Westfield mall in SF.

I got the bento box combo. It’s good if you want a variety of things. I got it with beef. Next time I would get it with chicken (beef was ok, but I think the chicken will be better).

The Sarap Shop (SF Soma Street Food)

Tried this Filipino food truck, and I would come here again if I felt like eating Adobo.

I ordered the “I love my adob(r)o”. It was adobo with pork belly (not a lot of fat, which is what I prefer), with rice and a side of vegetables (the sweet corn and fried okra were a good accent to the main meal).

And I also did try the mimosa. I’ve gotta say, it’s worth the $5.
