Recommended 12 Dinner Spots Near San Francisco, California

Edward Hernandez Very lively but not sold out on Saturday night. Food came out very fast and was very good and they accommodated some requests for the food to be adjusted slightly. $12 glasses of good wine is actually a bargain in that neighborhood.

Anjera C Love this place. I can never go wrong the the RTR bowl with chimichurri sauce. Great value for a meal in the city. Depending on the day I might split up the bowl in two meals. We also got the seasonal squash which is our favorite. It’s sweet savory and really well done. My partner got the salad which was also great. They also have a green apple seasonal sorbet right now that is phenomenal! Its not overly sweet and has a nice tartness to it. Overall can’t go wrong with the food here!

Debbie Manriquez We enjoyed the friendly service. Food was good. Love the clam chowder in the sourdough bread bowl. Everyone seemed pleased. The view is incredible. They have happy hour menu at the bar. Drinks were not that good. We still enjoyed our meal. We have been here many times over the years and will continue to come back .

James Wang Affordable and delicious Korean food with fast service, great taste, and good portions. Their Korean seafood pancake was really tasty, and their dolsot bibimbap had fresh ingredients. They provide fresh kimchi as part of their banchan and offer free refills. The dining space inside is rather tight with ~10 tables, but they also have a few 2-person outdoor dining tables. There is a paper waitlist on the back of the door.

Joshua Yuan They have a large outdoor patio in the back. Food didnt take a long time. It was really good. The soft shell crab was good but decently spicy. Overall this was a really solid Korean restaurant I could for sure come back.

nikita patel Waited 2 hours to get seated and it was so worth it. Most incredible slices of meat we’ve ever had. The ‘menu was very straight forward and we loved the ambiance of the restaurant. We got the strawberry shortcake for dessert too. 10/10 perfect place for a special occasion

Carl Foisy Burrito stuffed with goodness! The meat was hella good, and the balance between meat and everything else was legit. Not a very long line or wait, but for a burrito on Mission, I recommend this joint. There are only a few places like this that are worth the drive from San Jose, and it’s always a tasty treat. Orale!

Archie Simtoco We wanted to try an American Diner right before new years eve so we tried this place which was just around the corner from our hotel. The place did not disappoint. My son had the Pinecrest breakfast and he said it was the best. I had the patty melt and it was a perfect diner experience for us.

Karen Cooke A must try if you’re in SF. Perfect for a romantic date night or to catch up with friends. For starters we ordered the octopus appetizer and dip trio. For mains we got the whole fish and rack of lamb. Dessert we had the baklava and Greek coffee. Everything was amazing and can’t wait for my next time back.

Pavan Chowdary Kanagala We waited about an hour on a Saturday evening, but as always, it was well worth it. The food here is fantastic—my top picks are the Lamb Ramen, Enoki Spicy Chips, and the Miso Butter Ramen. Each dish is packed with flavor and never disappoints. Also, if you enjoy sake, their Mensho sake is incredibly smooth and pairs perfectly with the meal. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to!

To William What a view! There not much I can say about it except come early because the good tables by the window get taken quickly. We got there 18 min after they opened and we got the last table next to the window. We just had drinks and no food, just enjoyed the sunset over the concrete jungle. The pictures and videos don’t do it justice, especially on the clear San Francisco day we had. First time we came here the service was okay but the most recent time, it was top tier. I will always make it a point to come here whenever I’m on the area.

Hannah Lin Amazing store for Russian Food. We ordered the borscht, pelmeni, olivye, and medovik. It did take a bit for our main dishes to come out but its a family run restaurant so i was a-ok waiting. We had a tub of olivye and slice of medovik to snack on anyways so all good. The olivye was quite salty but i do tend to like my food quite salty so it was very tasty to me. The medovik or honey cake was the highlight of the meal, not too sweet, super soft and filled with pieces of what seem to be walnuts and sour cream frosting that had a great tang (what i think is often missing from american cream cheese frosting) the borscht was earthy and comforting and also vegetarian just fyi. the pelmeni tasted nicely rich from the meat and even better when dunked into the sour cream
