Delicious. Wow, I'm so glad we chose this spot. Cute. The owner has interesting quotes on the wall. He's a train collector and he has a Harley motorcycle encased.

I was looking for amazing & reasonably priced Greek food in the Financial District. That's a difficult task to meet. Luckily, for yelp with enough research I found this low key place that can be easily missed. I tried their Greek salad, gyro, wowee plate (fit for 2 people) and it was simply delicious with each bite. A definite keeper!

Wow, I would never thought Japanese curry would be so delicious. I'd have to compare it to Indian curry. It was delicious and fresh. I didn't take a shot of the curry. They serve it separately instead of putting it on your plate. You dip it on the side. I had the extra hot curry and it was very yummy & a nice kick to it. Only issue is their seating is limited and you want to get there at 11:30 otherwise; the line is long. Food takes awhile because there is really one chef, the place is small but food is fresh!! YUM for my tum tum on cold winter days in SF.

Wow, I was very impressed by the mall food at Westfield SF Centre. I tried their green curry and string beans and I thought it was okay. BUT if you have a craving for their specials their PAD SEE EWW is delicious. And to top it off their stir fry chilli flakes in their condiment section was just simply delicious and hot. Good stuff.

There is something about this pizza that I think isn't bad but my boys didn't enjoy it as much. It's neighborhood pizza place so I think it's not bad but this doesn't beat Bowzer's pizza.

Wow, if you ever had out to Portland, OR. Please try out this breakfast joint. Delicious. You will not be disappointed and their sausages are amazingly delicious.

Ah, I wouldn't recommend ordering their "ICE" chai tea because it loses it taste. But their HOT chai tea is definitely amazing and I'm comparing this to Starbucks and Peets chai teas.

I've been here a few years ago and I didn't find their tapas appealing. A friend was in town and we went there for brunch.

Wow, I thought this dish was delicious but it did feel heavy. A nice combination of salt and a little sweetness (surprising my taste buds) and the side polenta fries were yummy too.

If you're looking for some comfort food this place is it. I love noodles. I've seen mixed reviews on this place. It's true their wonton base soup isn't so powerful but when you taste their fresh tasty wontons. It's just simply tasty. Also, I can't resist egg noodles. Very yummy.

My new found love is this simple amazing bok choy with beef chow mein. Simply YUMMY... You can't go wrong.
