The Rice Flour specializes in roll cakes made with rice flour imported from Korea…read more The roll cakes are made with rice flour and are gluten-free. I had the red blossom and a bite of the early morning. The red blossom has a sweet red bean cream filling. The cake itself is very soft, pairing well with the cream in the center of the roll cake which is perfect! There are pieces of red bean in the filling, and the flavor is not too sweet or overwhelming and is very subtle and light. The early morning roll cake has a green tea flavor, and it has sweet notes with the slightly bitter taste of green tea at the end. This roll cake was also delicious and had many different layers to it! Overall, the roll cakes are amazing! I would definitely come back to try the rest of the roll cake flavors, and the pastry chef was also super nice and very passionate about her pastries. I look forward to what she will concoct in the future!

The chicken bites were tasty too--almost like crispy tater tots in texture. The wait time was only about 10 minutes, which was very reasonable, and the staff was friendly and welcoming throughout the visit. Overall, a solid spot for burgers and fries, and I'd definitely come back.

The line was still out the door, and it took about 30-40 minutes from getting in line to having food in hand. I went with the Bird's Eye burger and fries. I think this is the first burger I've had with actual basil leaves in it, and surprisingly, it works. You can also pick up the shallots and Thai chili aioli in the background. The aioli has no heat at all IMO. The cheese brings everything back down to earth and ties it all together. The fries are fried in beef tallow and come out really crispy. I was hit with a fat food coma, so maybe don't schedule anything too ambitious afterwards. The vibe was very lively when I visited. Indoor seating can be a little tricky, especially with a bigger group, and the outdoor seating doesn't have cover. One last heads-up: ketchup is free, but other sauces will cost you.

We sat at the bar and it was relatively quiet though by the time we left there was a line forming at the door to get in.

Our favorite was the paella - the skewers were really delicious - although everything on the menu looked and tasted good. Could not tell anything was vegan.

I like the extra crunchy element for added texture. You can taste every single ingredient in the sauce. It was also very easy to make, the instructions were clear and easy to follow.

I got on the waitlist when I moved to the city 4 years ago, but finally got to try these noodles!…read moreEveryone was so nice and friendly when I went for pick up and the instruction were clear. There was a farmers market next door so parking was a little hard. The noodle instructions were easy to follow and the 2 generous portions was accurate. The noodles were fresh and you can tell there's a lot of technique behind it. The sauce was the star for me. It was nutty, spicy, and I enjoyed the crunchy topping. If you can't handle more than a medium spice level I recommend putting in half the chili oil and trying it before adding more. For the price it reminded me of a nice dinner out, but at home if you don't like the noise and crowds.

My favorite smash burger spot in San Francisco, so I'm a bit sad that not many people are aware of…read moreSmish Smash, but also am elated of their presence / unique menu. We usually order their regular burgers and make them a 'Lue Box' for an additional charge of +$5 for small fries and side sauce. This time around, we decided to try their specials, which made me fall in love with Smish Smash even more... Fish Dac Biet Fish Mac (a cool spin on McDonald's fish fillet) While the price points for the specials, are around $3-$4 more than their usual burgers, it's so worth however the Uni burger for $45 is a bit steep for what it is and I'd rather get Uni at omakase vs. as a topping for a smash burger. All this to say, Smish Smash deserves all the flowers, and I can't wait for them to open up shop in a standalone spot!

Nice openings bites but thought it was just okay. Roppongi sen ~4/5. Quite tasty and nice presentation. Really liked the crust and accompanying flavors. Well balanced. Nanangs balay ~4/5. Good and quite tasty. Octopus was cooked well, and the accompanying flavors were quite unique especially with the wilted greens. Pot au feu ~3/5. Okay. Resembled sukiyaki, but the white sauce on top looked a bit unappetizing, and I thought the taste was okay. A cup for sarap ~4/5. Tasty dessert with a combination of ingredients.

A little too salty though if I were to be picky XO escargot: the XO sauce was delicious with the milk bread that it comes with. Steamed cod: this was one of the specials of the day and I'm glad we ordered it! The fish was very soft and light. Overall, great experience, yummy food, but not sure if it's worth the wait!

I loved that the restaurant teleports you to 90s Hong Kong from the posters to tunes. It's not the biggest restaurant so it feels a little tight and a line forms quickly out the door. Food was consistently ok and salty. We ordered the fried squab, black bean clams, green beans, etc. Portions run on the smaller side but the price goes in the other direction. Next time I'm around, you'll find me at R&G Lounge which is the uncontested king and a much more authentic showing of Cantonese food.
