Casual, walk-in spots
🍴 Long Bridge Pizza Co.
@abby
One of the true treasures of the San Francisco food scene and tragically underrepresented in all pizza coverage of the city. But the general SF eating public’s loss is the neighborhood’s gain, since you never have to wait too long for a pie or a table.
Get the bacon pie if you eat meat or just the classic margherita if you don’t. Their house salad is fresh, crunchy and excellent. They have a rotating beer selection, but usually something fresh from local brewery Cellarmaker.

Mission Chinese Food
@abby
Fun, hip Chinese spot in the Mission. No reservations, and often a line, so put your name down and a have a drink elsewhere. Don’t miss the thrice cooked bacon. Also good: salt cod fried rice, mapo tofu, vinegar peanuts.

Aslam's Rasoi
@abby
Best Indian in SF. Great butter chicken, bindhi masala, and more. Skip their chana masala.

Hawker Fare
@abby
Fun, funky food from northern Thailand / Laos. It pays to be adventurous here. Speakeasy upstairs in the back.

🍴 Wooly Pig
@abby
Hands down the best lunch in the Dogpatch. The staff is incredibly friendly and caring, and their food is unique and excellent. You basically can’t go wrong on the menu, but their veggie bahn mi is phenomenal, as is their fried chicken sandwich. Grab your order to go to eat in Esprit Park or Crane Cove park.

Rhea's Deli & Market
@abby
Really good sandwiches. Known for their Korean bbq sando but only get that if it appeals. I like their Valencia St

Hook Fish Co
@abby
Their poke burrito travels well to go - take it to the beach for sunset but plan your order a bit in advance. They get slammed on big beach days.

Fancy/Reservation Required Dinners
Top rec by far would be Nari. They have an awesome dining room and great unique Thai food by a Michelin starred female chef.
Nari
@abby
Second SF-based Thai restaurant for chef Pim - Kin Khao is Michelin starred, as is her restaurant in Bangkok. Nari has a fancier dining room and the menu is a bit bigger - and was recently starred!
At both places, I tend to think her apps and small plates are better than the big mains - and you can make a more interesting meal out of more of them than having a curry. Cocktails are great.
Must order:
Nam Tok Beans
Pork jowl and squid
Brussel sprouts
Bar upstairs doesn’t require reservations, almost always has easy walk in availability, and serves the same menu as the dining room. Plus, it’s a romantic vibe!

A little less pricey, but good vibes:
Pearl 6101
@abby
Sweet neighborhood spot if you’re in the area. Great for brunch or dinner. Not much else around though, so plan to stop by after a beach day or just come for the meal. Great, comfortable dining room.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Abby West
Available for hire
Cofounder @ Thatch 📍Washington, DC
My favorite way to get under the skin of a place is to eat! I always seek out new dishes and ingredients that are local to the place I'm visiting. My ideal day in a new city involves wandering the streets of a new neighborhood to get a feel for its energy, ducking into an art gallery or museum to see something inspiring, and then stopping for an afternoon coffee and chocolate chip cookie. At night, you'll more likely find me in a cocktail bar than a club. I also love to hike, camp, and be near the ocean!
I lived for 8 years in San Francisco, and spent extended time in Lima, Peru and Mombasa, Kenya. Even though I've moved back to my hometown of Washington, DC, I still stay up to date on the SF food scene and travel back often for work! I'm pretty tapped into the DC food and coffee scene.
Conversational in Spanish. Have some rusty Swahili.
