If you like Chinese food then you must go to Shanghai Dumpling King  when in San Francisco. It’s serious Shanghainese food with a focus on dumplings and everything is scratch made. It is located in the Outer Richmond Neighborhood on Balboa. There is a second location too but I haven’t been. This area is cool. Close to the beach and Goldengate Park. Be aware that this place is a real dive and they don’t serve booze but you can bring your own. I love that. I could not stop eating the Shrimp and Spicy Chive Dumplings. Amazing!

I love ramen. So I figure that Japantown in San Francisco has to have some good ramen joints. Waraku is one of them. Nothing fancy here but this place is tasty.

I am telling you, this place is fantastic! Farmhouse Kitchen Thai Cuisine is located in the Mission Neighborhood of San Francisco. I love the Mission. It’s gritty, artsy and full of life. Some of the best Thai food I have had anywhere. Tasty curries, street food and the tasty dish below which is a must. Hat Yai Fried Chicken: Thai Southern style, Mary’s organic chicken breast, turmeric & herbs, fried shallots roti bread, potato yellow curry for dipping and rice. SO GOOD! And I love the blue rice.

Outerlands is in the Outer Sunset Neighborhood of San Francisco. Super cool area. It’s a few blocks from the ocean. Feels like a beach town yet you are in the city of San Fran. It’s just cool. And this place has a great vibe. Not fancy at all but very warm and rustic. The food and cocktails are fantastic. They have their own bakery in the back and this little Strawberry Coffee Cake was incredible as was the rest of my breakfast. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and I am guessing it is all good. Love this place.
