John Doherty: Great BBQ. Service can be a bit slow. Get the baked beans.
Adam Demuri: The barbecue is fantastic, the beer selection is great, and the beans are real good.
Ale Tower: Very good ribs, good brisket, very good pulled pork shoulder. I had 1.5 menus as one is a bit small for my appetite (and I'm pretty slim).

Blake Samic: Great home-style BBQ and beer selection - and pretty cheap. Try the brisket.
Mark Heyert: Specials are always good. Also, brisket, lasagna, buffalo chili, and also ways get the three bean salad.
Erica Jackson: The BBQ brisket was really very good, the au jus is amazing. They slice the meat right in front of you and the sangria was great.

Ross Allen: The bulgogi BBQ is sweet and tender and delicious. Bring friends or take it home with you though, it's a ton of food.
Mimi Toyama: Amazing. Get the bulgogi, kalbi, tofu soup, jap chae, and the banchan that comes with it is amazing. Healthy and delicious. 50 stars
Matt: Kimchi pancake, fresh galbi and bulgogi were all excellent. Also the Japchae was good.

Aubrey Brewster: Best ribs in town. Ribs not your thing? The Hawaiian ribeye steak is out if this world. Formally called Houston's, (same company) Hillstone is always consistently good with curious wait staff.
Rose: Ribs literally fall off the bone...so delicious. Great spot for a date, special occasion, or just because.
Hadas Hay: Baby back ribs are great. Awesome filet steak, super tender.

Hawaiian Restaurant · Lower Nob Hill · 161 tips and reviews
Agatha Yu: Really refreshing flavour pairings! Try their duck liver toast, lamb ribs and tuna belly misoyaki 😘
Jung-Ah Yum: Poke tuna, beef ribs, beef tongue bun, the surfer Rosa to wash it all down, and the cardamom cheesecake to end :)
Arthur Liao: Beef tongue, fried oysters, tuna tartare, fried rice, beef ribs, game hen - basically everything. Savories are better than desserts. IMHO one of the best and funnest bay area restaurants in years.

Nadège Bréant: The BBQ COMBINATION SPICY PORK & SPICE BEEF RIB to freaking die for!!!!!!

Cheryl Hawley: The Pho soup & Bbq Spareribs are superb!
Caroline Faure: Cellophane noodles with Dungeness crab are a must!! Pork ribs in hoisin sauce are good to share as an appetizer
Time Out San Francisco: The Bay views of Charles Phan's popular restaurant are alluring, but the attraction remains Phan's incredible, inventive Vietnamese-inspired food. Try the spicy short ribs and crab spring rolls . Read more.

Sandwich Spot · SoMa · 270 tips and reviews
c b: get the bg: house brisket cheddar cheese sport peppers house slaw pickles pickled red onion board sauce sweet french. this is truly everything i want in a sandwich.
Rafi Syed: Don't forget, you can always mix-and-match meats (e.g. brisket + pastrami, or brisket + pastrami + salami). They'll proportion the sandwich correctly so it's just the right amount of overwhelming.
Chris Edwards: Any sandwich with their melt-in-your mouth meats (pastrami, brisket, corned beef) is delectable.

Breakfast Spot · Inner Sunset · 89 tips and reviews
Andrew Baber: Go to Art's Cafe and get a hash brown sandwich. Bonus points for getting it with bulgogi and rice instead of toast. (3x multiplier for liberal gochujang application and eggstack)
Dan Kim: My favorite low-key diner in the city! The hashbrown sandwich is ridiculous. Get the beef teriyaki. It's actually Korean style bulgogi.
Serious Eats: It's worth waiting for a spot at this counter-only mom-and-pop diner; their hash brown sandwich (with bulgogi) is genius.
Vince B: You can only BBQ at the table with a minimum of 2 entree orders...well worth it, bring friends
Jacqueline Ho: MOST AUTHENTIC KOREAN FOOD! The kimchi is seriously to die for, the BBQ is spot on, the soon tofu is the best I've had and I've tried the best from norcal and socal!
ᴡ Fox: Self barbecue for two is a great deal! Spicy marinated pork is to die for. #marinatedpork #bbq #sides #tea
