📍 Location Ben Tre | South San Francisco, CA 398 Grand Ave, South San Francisco, CA 94080 😋 Review A solid Vietnamese spot close to SFO in South San Francisco. Tons of options on the menu and the place can get quite packed. It was $17 for the pho and $11 for the rolls. Although packed, the food came out almost instantly. Quite a pleasant … Continue reading Ben Tre
📍 Location Abacá | San Francisco, CA2700 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94133 😋 Review Abacá is a upscale Filipino restaurant with an amazing interior design. The portions are quite small for the price, so I view it as paying for the Instagram like decorations. I think it’s worth it for a group brunch or a date. There’s a catered selection of Filipino focused dishes. … Continue reading Abacá
📍 Location Joyful Kitchen | San Francisco, CA1919 Ocean Ave, San Francisco, CA 94127 😋 Review $11 for congee and $6.50 for the rice noodle rolls. The rice rolls are made fresh and are a must order, if available. The only downside is the shrimp is small. There are tons of great and affordable options. It’s the perfect place to grab comfort food. The congee … Continue reading Joyful Kitchen
📍 Location Mogu Mogu | Los Angeles, CA11555 W Olympic Blvd suite b, Los Angeles, CA 90064 😋 Review When visiting LA, Mogu Mogu was an elite Mazemen spot! Mazemen is Japanese ramen without broth. It’s located right off Sawtelle in a fairly small restaurant. It’s reasonably priced, you’ll find a main between $15-20. It feels a little heavy, there are large portions, and it … Continue reading Mogu Mogu
📍 Location Hing Lung | San Bruno, CA1230 El Camino Real P, San Bruno, CA 94066 😋 Review I’ve heard this place can get really busy, so I’d go at an off time or take out like I did. You’ll see all the aunties and uncles sitting down so you know it’s a local favorite. The food can feel super heavy, but everything is packed … Continue reading Hing Lung
📍 Location Alnico | San Francisco, CA1050 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110 😋 Review Alnico is all about the UBE. The restaurant honestly feels purple when you walk in. Great looking dishes, great brunch spot, nice inside with lots of space. It’s a Filipino fusion restaurant and gets quite busy! It’s also fairly affordable, everything mostly around $20. 📸 Photos ⭐️ Ube Hotcakes ⭐️ … Continue reading Alnico
📍 Location The Spicy Shrimp | San Francisco, CA150 Waverly Pl, San Francisco, CA 94108 😋 Review The Spicy Shrimp is the perfect place to get a filling and delicious meal without breaking the bank. The rice rolls are a must. They come out steaming hot and fresh, and are what the place is primarily known for. They’re only available in the early afternoon. The … Continue reading The Spicy Shrimp
📍 Location 53 | New York, NY53 W 53rd St, New York, NY 10019 😋 Review Another high end NY restaurant (can’t you just tell from the name)! I would reserve this place for special occasions like work dinners or date night. The interior is nicely done, dimly lit, with 2 stories from what I could see. Although expensive, the food is as authentic as … Continue reading 53
📍 Location Thai Nghiep Ky Mi Gia | San Francisco, CA1427 Noriega St, San Francisco, CA 94122 😋 Review This is a nice and popular place, I had to wait a little bit on the weekend before getting a spot. They’re known for their duck. The broth was great with good portions. #9 was the braised duck noodle soup with egg noodles and #51 was … Continue reading Thai Nghiep Ky Mi Gia
📍 Location 📍Nonono | New York, NY118 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10016 😋 Review This is a top izakaya spot I’ve been to. The interior is cozy (upstairs + downstairs), the selection vast, the food delicious. It’s located near Koreatown on Madison Ave. I would say the prices are affordable and proper for what you get, especially in downtown. The larger, fancier dishes are … Continue reading Nonono
