    Short Rib w/ mash potato (SF Week)
    Curt

    I came for a $45 SF Restaurant Week birthday dinner. While the flavors were great, the pacing and a kitchen mishap dampened the celebration. The Highlights Flavor: The tea leaf salad and platha were excellent; that curry sauce is a winner. Drinks & Dessert: The mango lassi was refreshing, and both the calamansi custard and Thai tea tiramisu were delicious finishes. Attentive Service: Our server was great about keeping our drinks refilled throughout the night. The Letdowns Wait Times: The gap between courses was massive. It took over an hour for our mains to arrive, making us feel like our order had been forgotten. Availability: They were already out of two appetizer options (squid and short rib), which was disappointing for a set menu. Quality Control: I found a piece of foil shaving in the mashed potatoes served with the short rib. The Verdict: The portions are filling and the food tastes authentic, but the long wait times and the foil in the food made it a frustrating birthday experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is a tad loud so difficulty hearing conversations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Duck skin fried rice
    Lilian C.

    With a party of four, we had dinner here. We ordered the firecracker cauliflower as an appetizer to share, duck skin fried rice, and miso-butter noodle with fresh Dungeness crab. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior was nice and customer service fine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It wasn't crowded around the time we went (4:30-5ish).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I thought everything was pretty good in terms of taste, portion, and appearance!

    B STAR?!? MORE like a C+ rating..... Ugh this place was such a hard review because the server we had was one of the best servers I've had all year.....it's not the service, it's the food. Let's dive into it. The roti was the best out of what we tried. Classic roti with a decent curry sauce, half to mess up. 4/5 The duck skin fried rice was a bit dry with hardly and duck and just a few pieces of fried skin we were fighting for. The skin was great, the rice not so much, and the duck was dry. 3/5 One of our least favorite was the coconut curry noodle soup. It was spicy which we don't remember reading it would be that spicy, but most importantly it waa soooo bland that we were like well, do you want it because I don't. 1/5 The papaya salad was just soggy and weird tasting, like a bitter taste of too much lime and soggy papaya with fish sauce. 2/5 Their tea was okay but pricey, again watered down but at least it was in a pitcher but you pay for good money for it. It's hard to say I enjoyed our meal because I didn't and ended up boxing it to go to give away rather than wasting it. We went out to a different place afterwards for dessert and snacks.

    "Asian Beef Wraps"
    Maria W.

    We had such a fun and satisfying experience at B Star! We were seated quickly in this airy light beautiful spot, and served just as quickly. A true delight of a visit. This is what we ordered: The "Asian Beef Wraps" were amazing. So fun to self-assemble; it felt like such an interactive DIY experience; the waitress aptly let us know that it was an "involved" meal and I absolutely loved it. The meat was so well flavored, the multiple different toppings crunchy and soft and fresh and hearty. What a great way to eat, I'd love to order them again. The Salmon Ochazuke was incredible. Such a warm delicious umami treat, with a variety of textures and delicious flavors. I'd never had this dish before, glad we decided to try! A random aside; their bathroom system was fun, with a green/red light above the entrance so you knew from afar whether it was occupied or not. Love it.

    Grilled pork platter
    Priyanka S.

    B-star was an amazing little restaurant my friends and I decided to stop by during SF restaurant week. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside the restaurant is not too big, but the vibes are very cozy and warm wood tones.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is also incredibly accommodating and friendly. When we went, I mentioned I had a sesame seed allergy and one of the dishes that was brought out accidentally had sesame seeds on it so I mentioned it to the waiter and they took it back and re-made the entire dish for me without sesame seeds but since it took some time to remake my dish and I was waiting while my friends all had their dishes the staff fully comped my meal once they brought it out towards the end which was super sweet. Every dish was also incredibly delicious with some of my friends getting a fried egg with rice dish with grilled pork, and I decided to order the Salmon pot pie which was so juicy and reminiscent of a chicken pot pie but more delicious and having a thai style curry flavor to it with the yellow curry tasting broth base. This is definitely a must get dish!

    Tea leaf salad, croquettes, b sprouts
    Amy X.

    I've been going to this spot for at least ten years. It's one of my favorite places to bring all my friends that are visiting town because the food is so solid. Ambiance: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Noise levels are pretty standard, not super loud or quiet and really depends on the patrons.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's about 8 two tops and maybe about 6 four tops, but looks like it can be arranged. There's a few two tables by the window, which is a little more private and nice to people watch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service: A host usually greets you at the door and brings you to your table with menus. You can also make reservations, which I recommend. They give you plenty of time to order and sometimes you have to flag someone down if you're really hungry. Another side note that I really like is that there's a red/green light indicating whether someone's in the restroom, so you don't have to wait around the hallway. Food: Short Rib Croquettes - airy, light, and perfectly crisp, but certainly not my favorite on the menu. The flavors were nice, but I didn't catch any hints of shiitake or daikon. The short rib was very tender. Tea Leaf Salad - the textures and flavor combos are always a delight. The fresh and crisp lettuce, mixed with the crunchy garlic chips and lentils really kicks it up a notch if you like mouth feel. Back in the day, they would have the salad in separate areas of the plate and mix it in front of you with the lemon, but now it's premixed. It's great if you're hungry, but the presentation was a nice touch. (I could see how this might take too much time if the restaurant is busy though.) B*sprouts is a must! I have turned a brussel sprouts HATER into a "okay, this is pretty good," which I consider a win. I told this person, "look, if you hate brussel sprouts after trying this, you definitely hate brussel sprouts. If you do not, then you've been having it all wrong." Turns out they've been having it wrong. This is a must have if you come to this restaurant. The veggie is perfectly cooked and crispy at the edges, slightly sweet and fragrant. With the addition of the popped rice, it's a beautiful thing. Don't skip it if you come. Salmon Ochazuke - perfectly cooked salmon on top of a bed of pickled veggies, a soft poached egg, and rice. They pour the green tea dashi broth at the table. This is also a must order if you like salmon and want a new comfort food item. The flavors are light and complex, the broth is flavorful, but not overly salty. This restaurant will always be a staple of mine, as well as introducing it to every person I know. It's absolutely worth trying.

    Tea Leaf Salad (L)
    T W.

    Tea leaf salad delicious. Had a very unique, herbaceous flavor and i loved the toasted nuts which gave the salad a roasted note Miso cod with noodles excellent. Very tender and flavorful The latska had a great flavor in the broth however not sure why they add croutons which get soggy if you don't eat the soup fast enough. They could use a larger variety of sake. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is very austere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Michael W.

    I've been coming to B Star & Burma Superstar for years, and while the flavors are still good, I feel like it's lost a little of the magic it used to have. The portion sizes in particular have gotten noticeably smaller compared to what they once were, which makes the value feel a bit off, especially given the number of excellent Thai spots in San Francisco at similar price points. [[HIGHLIGHT]]That said, the food itself was tasty and well-prepared, and the ambiance remains warm and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The back room could use a bit more attention when it comes to service, but overall it's still a lovely, comfortable place to sit down and enjoy a meal. Solid spot for Thai flavors, but I'd love to see a return to more generous portions and the consistency that made this a classic SF spot

    Miso Cod
    Tiffany C.

    Came back on a weeknight for three people and had zero wait! Quickly seated and ordered an entree for each person. The miso cod is perfectly cooked and buttery, although the garlic noodles were quite salty and too aldente for my tastes. The pot pie is always a hit, although they changed the flavoring from the Thai curry pot pie to the salmon pot pie.

    Laksa
    Allison W.

    Came here with a reservation for Monday dinner, and it was pretty empty at 6:00 PM. It was very quiet as opposed to Burma Superstar next door, which made for a calmer environment. The waitstaff were very present and helpful with giving us suggestions of how much food to get. We got the Vegetarian Samusas, the Laksa, and the Tea Leaf Salad. Vegetarian Samusas: 3/5, they were fine but not extraordinary. Also a bit pricey for how many we got. Laksa: 4/5, not too spicy but good amount of noodles along with shrimp and tofu. Loved the coconut chicken broth! Tea Leaf Salad: 5/5, always a classic. Love the plentiful amount of jalapeños in this version. Could have eaten the whole thing by myself! Overall, a solid spot for Burmese food, not a bad alternative to the ever-crowded Burma Superstar.

    Laksa pre-mixing
    Jason X.

    Solid popular spot with a nice staff. No wait for a late lunch. My wife's food came out late and cold so it was probably sitting there forgotten for a while. Flavors are pretty good, but the portions are a tad small for the price in my opinion.

    rosita t.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Perfect little spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went there for a solo late lunch and ordered the prix fix deal for $28. The portions were so generous. The main was a brand new dish they were trying out. It was excellent and the chicken was tender. I'll eat anything w a gooey egg on top. The staff was so sweet. I'll be back agin and again.

    Coconut Rice
    Isha P.

    I'm obsessed with this place. I would literally marry the firecracker cauliflower it's THAT GOOD. Perfectly crispy and well balanced flavors. Many vegetarian options, but the appetizers are where it's at. Tea leaf salad and firecracker cauliflower cannot be skipped. The service is fast and attentive. Can't say anything bad about B Star I just love it so much.

The crispy chicken was recommended by the server and it truly did not disappoint. The chicken was crisp and juicy and the noodles were cooked perfectly. For drinks we got the Thai iced tea, butterfly lychee fizz, and the coconut milk latte. I got the Thai ice tea less sweet and it was perfect for me ( I usually don't like it super sweet).

In my opinion Lapisara ranks in the middle due to the other excellent options available. Seated immediately--had a reso but on a Wednesday morning not really necessary. It took a long time for the single employee to get to us but we weren't in a hurry. Cappuccino was very good in a cute "bear mug" and very reasonably priced. We shared a pacific omlet--not much crab, lots of shrimp, and nice swiss cheese/scallions but tasted kind of fishy--potatoes were only avg. Son said huevos rancheros were average. Price point good for SF and portions adequate to share. Location convenient so we will try dinner there tonight before a comedy show nearby. Dinner-5++ stars; 4 of us Had dinner last night-6pm-reso but not needed. only one other group dining. Single Waitress was great-we let her know we needed to leave in about an hour for a show and she timed everything perfectly--we even had time for dessert. we ordered so many items that she brought over an extra table--we shared everything family style. Most Yelp reviews only mention brunch but the dinner was awesome--service; food: taste/quality, presentation, portions, prices we phenomenally low for SF ($200 with a bottle of wine for 4 people). We started with the garlic butter clams-small but tasty. Tuna tartar was excellent quality and enough to share. Samosas were more like empanadas--very good with peanut sauce so good it rivaled my own home made. We continued our culinary adventure with crab fried rice-delicious, a large portion and my son who lives in SF and has tried dozens of crab fried rice ranked it in the top tier. The pacific catch rice noodles with crab was also excellent-big portion, lots of crab, tasty. Final entree was their specialty-Mussaman Curry. Wow, tender meat/potatoe "stew" with a very unique flavor from the star anise/cinnamon and peanut--to die for. Creme Brulee was very good with lots of fresh fruit accompaniment My only complaint was a very limited wine selection. Lapisaia will become one of our regular spots for dinner!!!

Some of the coffees came in bear-shaped glasses, and some of the lattes had a decorative bear made out of ice.

Today was the day where their reviews became a reality. The deviled eggs paired with the chili sauce was an exquisite compliment. And the lemon ricotta pancake! Such a great treat.

    If you're looking for the quintessential SF brunch, Plow is it. Tucked away on a quiet corner in…read morePotrero Hill, it has all the charm of a neighborhood diner without the downtown chaos. The residential setting is part of the appeal - you can actually spread out, and it's a lovely area to wander while you wait for a table (and you will wait, so plan for it). The outdoor seating is the way to go. Indoor feels cramped. On cooler mornings they'll even hand you a blanket. Sitting outside on that peaceful corner watching the neighborhood wake up is a charming experience. Only downside of dining al fresco: a fly landed on my sausage. But credit to the staff - the waiter noticed and brought out a fresh plate without me even having to ask. That kind of attentive service goes a long way. The food lives up to the hype. The lemon ricotta pancakes are the star for good reason. They were light, fluffy, and not too sweet. The crispy potatoes were excellent too, just be warned they come out scorching hot (I burned the roof of my mouth going in too eager). Give them a minute to cool. Upside of parking on the top of that steep hill is that you'll burn off your breakfast calories getting back to your car.
