What I’m Eating

Chatting at The Grove.

My roommate has been very good at documenting her/our foodie adventures since living in San Fran. I, however, have not. So I thought I’d share with you what I’ve been noshing on these days. (And thanks roomie for snapping some of the pics!) Check ‘em out, when you keep reading.

The Grove on Fillmore St.

One of the first places I went to when I came up here was The Grove on Fillmore St., where I had some delicious baked mac and cheese. Definitely want to go back!

San Tung Restaurant

Mmm . . . I haven’t had much Chinese food here in the city yet, but I’m obsessed with San Tung Restaurant in Inner Sunset. The original dry fry chicken is to DIE for.

Tacolicious

If you are lucky enough to get a seat in Tacolicious on Chestnut, you should go! The tacos are just the way I like them — small corn tortillas, with a focus on the yummy meats and salsas, not a bunch of “stuff” on them. Next time I need to try the margaritas, they looked amazing!

Chilayo

When you can’t get a seat at Tacolicious, another fave of mine down the street is Chilayo. I get a chicken quesadilla on a corn tortilla and a Corona, of course. It’s small, but packed with delish grilled chicken. And they have an impressive salsa bar. I can’t stay away from the hottest one, even though it’s killer spicy!

Blue Barn Gourmet

Ok, so Blue Barn Gourmet on Chestnut is known mainly for its salads (make your own or from the menu), and they are really good. Next time I’m for sure getting one with grilled shrimp on top, the guy next to me had one that looked and smelled amazing. BUT it also has the best fries I’ve had in SF. I’d say getting a salad with a side of fries is a good way to balance it out . . . don’t you think?

Kyoto Sushi

On Van Ness Ave. is a magical sushi place called Kyoto Sushi, where the Sapporo flows like water at 99 cents a glass. All day, every day. And the sushi is good! Try the spicy tuna tempura roll, it’s a must.

Delarosa

At Delarosa, we had a super yummy pizza with hot salami, coppa, tomato, and diavolicchio (not the one pictured). But next time I’m trying the margherita with burrata — I’m a big fan of burrata!

Jovino

If there’s one thing I crave, again and again, it’s the Firecracker Shrimp Salad at Jovino. Between that and the sangria, I’m good to go! But pretty much everything I’ve had there has been fab.

Pizzeria Delfina

At Pizzeria Delfina, we had a super good pizza, Salciccia, with housemade fennel sausage, tomato, bell peppers, onions, and mozzarella. But the icing on the cake was the homemade gelato dessert.

Sudachi Sushi & Korean BBQ Restaurant

The cool thing about Sudachi Sushi is that it delivers! And it’s pretty delicious. I was blown away by the “special” edamame which was stir-fried in garlic and soy sauce.
