Jenny: 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).
Natalie: What to get?! So many options! The spicy beef noodles are delicious but SPICY and can be shared with more than 2 people. The soup dumplings are a must have.
J John: Soup dumplings are a must try. Beef stew is good, spicy beef noodle soup is excellent. Good service.

Dumpling Restaurant · Outer Sunset · 28 tips and reviews
Khoa Le: Spicy beef noodle soup
Linda Yang: Spicy beef tendon, pig ear, beef noodle soup, and dumpling soup were all top notch. 🥟🥟🥟 are made to order and you can see the ladies rolling and wrapping them.
Rachael Cox: This restaurant is incredible! The quality of the food and wine or drinks is world-class. The service is also outstanding. Highly recommended!
Kris Vera-Phillips: Try the Kifto and Kanishta - #kvpinmybelly : Spicy #beef tartar and mushrooms. Savory goodness!
WhiskeyAvenger: Feel like a beer? They often have an assortment of African beers on offer. One of my favorites is Hakim Stout. Goes well with the meet dishes while quelling the intense spices.
Doc Pop: Coming for the gluten-free Injera? Be sure to call ahead of time to confirm. They often use wheat with their teff, but if you call in advance they can make a special batch for you.

Vietnamese Restaurant · Duboce Triangle · 85 tips and reviews
matt knox: All of the spicy beef pho (aka lemongrass pho, I think), the normal beef pho and the (huge) carpaccio are excellent. I didn't like the shaken beef that much, though.
Andrew Schellenberg: The spicy beef pho is very very good (bun Bo hue)
Josh W: #12 Pho Dac Biet + imperial rolls (so crunchy, made properly with rice paper and not flour for once!) are must haves

Cocktail Bar · Dogpatch · 44 tips and reviews
On the Grid: Order a couple ounces of the house favorite Spicy Beef Candy—or for vegetarians, the shiitake jerky with sake and balsamic—and pair it with a shot and a beer or one of the kickass cocktails. Read more.
Chris Messina: The Diplomat is an excellent choice for a rich, nutty, sherry-forward boozy choice.
Serious Eats: A cocktail bar from the team behind Range on Valencia. No kitchen, but there are 9 different types of jerky to eat.

Korean Restaurant · Outer Richmond · 75 tips and reviews
Emmiliese Clemm: Incredible Korean BBQ. The marinated spicy beef was especially good. The plates are huge - they recommend one per person, but 3 for 5 is plenty.
Helen Zhang: Try the Beef Bulgogi - One of my favorite places for Korean BBQ in SF, the ban chan is delicious.
Eater: Han Il Kwan's meat is the most tender. It's still worth it at $30 for the quality and experience, which make it a definite step above the others on this list. Read more.

Korean Restaurant · Outer Richmond · 25 tips and reviews
Bommy: Marinated kalbi and pork belly are delicious. Expensive but the meats taste of high quality. Yuk gae jang, spicy beef stew, is perfect. Service and ambience could use a lot of work.
Colin Brown: The food here is amazing! Great for large groups of people. Staff are really friendly. The owner, Ashley, has a cafe on 7th Ave and California St which is equally delicious.
sunny pak: There not enough words 2 describe how bad this places is. Every1 who wrote the + review must be friends. Shouldn't chrg customers 4 food u took back. especially when U never brought a replacement.
