• Nick's Crispy Tacos

    Get them Nick's way = crispified with guacamole and cheese! Go early to avoid the marina crowd.

  • Earth's Coffee

    Bicycle coffee. Hope this place picks up. They deserve it. No frills cafe. Great coffee.

  • Green Apple Books

    All other book stores can close down now. Green apple books have beaten you.

  • Cinderella Bakery & CafĂ©

    Killer pastries. Great lunch menu. Ritual coffe for $1.75. I go here 5 days a week. Borscht is damn good.

  • Tekka Japanese Restaurant

    Long review: the best sushi in San Francisco. Not an opinion, just a fact. I've watched people melt in their seats while eating here. Have you ever sat in a restaurant for 2 hours and heard little to no conversation ? Tekka is a sushi experience. Their sashimi will make you wonder why you even bothered spending time and money anywhere else. Mom and pop owned and operated. Husband and wife du who play Johnny cash and the bee fees while delivering consistently incredible sashimi and rolls. Huge glass of sake. Check. Huge bottle of beer. Check. Unlimited green tea? Check. I just spent 150$ for two people here. I have no money and I'm moving to another country. I don't care, it's tekka I'm talking about. Do you want to watch a master sushi chef prepare the freshest sashimi plate in north America? Go to tekka. The nigiri is 3.50-4.00$ for one piece. "oh that's to expensive. " no! It's tekka. That piece of nigiri is six inches long and fresh from fish heaven. Just go to tekka.

    People complain about the wait. Here are two seatings at 730 and 9. The restaurant seats 10. I live across the street and watch a line form down the block. Despite this, and I know I'm lucky, I always walk in with no wait. Go on a Tuesday night or something. Forget the weekend. I typed this on my iPhone. I love tekka. If you can't get in, don't give up. Go to Halu a few blocks over for yakitori. Don't give up. #1!

  • Genki Crepes

    Banana and nutella for the win. Really, everything here is good. Sometimes there is a long wait, but that makes time to browse their amazing selection of imported Japanese sweets, drinks, and weirdness. Open late, I usually hit up Halu, genki, and then over to Green Apple books. Excellent.

  • Halu

    Exquisite yakitori! Great sake selection. The okonomiyaki is the best I've ever tasted. The karage chicken is so perfect - great seasoning, texture and flavor. Family owned and operated. The owners' Beatles memorabilia cover every bit of wall space and the speakers are full of garage rock. My favorite place in San Francisco hands down. I've eaten here every week for the past year. Can't say enough good things. I love you Halu!
