But I do shop here because inexpensive meat can be purchased here ...but you will need freezer space or the ability to split things with friends coop style. To get these good deals you are going to have to purchase massive amounts. The people who work here are nice. It's not crowded and mostly caters to restaurants. They have a whole lot of Torani syrup, catsup, pancake mix, frozen fish, to go containers and the like. If you are in the neighborhood it's worth checking out.

Picked up a 22 hour countdown kitchen timer here to use as an alarm clock when I travel to unplug from my smart phone to go analog a bit like pen and paper turned to keyboard rhythm on my lap top for this review. Unfortunately no Yelp in Costa Rica so this is likely my last review until the cold San Franciscan June Summer time cometh. Coldest Winter I ever had was a Summer in San Francisco is what Mark Twain said. Forest Restaurant Supply rocks! They have it all and friendly staff so will give them three bonus stars for customer service. Thanks I will be back.

Overall my experience with SF thrifting so far is that there's quite poor bang for your buck…read more Fashion exchange is unfortunately another such store. Their shop was so packed with clothing that I noticed a sign on the window saying that they were no longer accepting donations, they were full. And with their prices and the quality of the pieces, I don't think they will be making room any time soon. They did have some interesting and unique pieces, as well as a small collection of designer goods, but everything was genuinely so expensive. They did have a lot of harnesses, fishnets, and sparkly dresses that might work if you were looking for performance or costume pieces. I walked out after about 15 min of increasingly astounded perusing with no plans to return.

This was my first time coming to this location and I had mixed but mostly positive impressions of…read morethe place. Place looked small on the outside, but once you walk inside, it's a completely different story. The space opens up vertically and feels massive with its tall ceilings and rows of bulk items that actually make a lot of sense for restaurants and businesses. Everything from supplies to most food categories was very well stocked, in date, and had solid variety. I was happy to pick up a bunch of high-heat, heavy-duty kitchen tools during the trip. If you're stocking a commercial kitchen, they definitely have a good selection of durable equipment, but limited. With that being said, I have been to other Restaurant Depot locations and the Miami, FL one will always be my favorite because they have a lot more higher end meat and seafood selections. I was hoping for more variety here, particularly in seafood and baked goods. The bread and pastry section was pretty bare, and I really wish they carried more seafood like uni and sushi-grade products to help elevate this location. Pricing is also a bit conflicting for me as well because some items, especially beverage, pantry goods, and produce didn't feel like a great deal compared to smaller local spots. However, it does make up for that by being a true one-stop shop where you can grab almost everything your business needs in one run. My biggest downside is the location. It's pretty inconvenient, and I had personally much rather see a Restaurant Depot closer to South San Francisco or in an area that feels safer and more accessible than Bayview-Hunters Point. Overall, place has a solid selection, well stocked, and very useful if you're running a restaurant business.

San Francisco is a city full of character. I noticed there are lots of characters are all around…read moreSan Francisco all four seasons. Then there are characters on social media without any character being performative in SF at the restaurants and public spaces. It's interesting to see so many characters all over the city especially in the Summer time . There is one place which has lots of stuffed characters ( not from eating food) at a mall in SF. It's at the Japan Center Mall in Japantown of San Francisco and it's called Amiko. On a Japantown stroll I landed at Japan Center Mall West and entered Amiko. Inside you will see some interesting stuffed characters and other items usually from the land of the rising sun. You will also find different characters to fill a public trinket box. Inside you will find shirts and bags. You will also find hats and bracelets. This place has blind boxes and a Kawaii vibe. Amiko has a lots of character. Japantown has lots of good places to go and lots of places to eat and "shop" like getting some sushi with Tonkatsu the Japanese fried "pork chop" and then go to Amiko and see a stuffed bunnies that don't "hop" and grabbing an ice dessert treat with a cherry on "top" Go on a stroll in Japantown also known as a "crawl "you see lots of characters in SF during all four seasons Winter, Spring , Summer and "Fall" you will also see lots of stuffed characters and it's not from eating its seeing a stuffed character "doll"and it all takes place at the "Japan Center Mall"

All Smiski items come in blind boxes. I chose the "Let's Exercise" series and ended up getting the Balance one. I also picked up a strap blind box and got a secret, which was a nice surprise. Customer service was great, and the prices were decent. This was my first time buying Smiski, glad I was able to find them here. :)

Go to pick it up and am greeted with unwarranted attitude. I mean I see my order, but some lady tells me I have to wait 3 arbitrary minutes. If it were busy, then I get it, but it wasn't, so what the fuck is their problem? Maybe customer service isn't high on their priorities. Or they just suck. When I finally get my order, it's feeling particularly light. And for good reason : they took one serving of chow mein and placed it in 2 togo containers and gave no chicken whatsoever. Okay, maybe one small sliver cut into 2 pieces total. 2 for 1, my ass. If they meant 2 containers equalling 1 serving, then they totally nailed it. Why? Why the attitude? Why are you ripping me off? Why when you're not even the best place to eat on that block? Oh yeah, the Ambiance? Also sucked. Food is alright. What I'd suggest, forget about this place and go to the Other Dumpling place down the street. Again, forget the King dump of bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep.

I ordered 280 hydrangeas from Patricia for a floral parade on the big island of Hawaii on April 6…read more She and her daughter were excellent in communicating with me in Honolulu through emails and phone calls. I felt at ease and didnt worry about anything. I arranged for a friend to pick up the flowers and ship them to Hawaii a week before the parade. It was actually Good Friday and Easter weekend and the store would be closed for the holidays. Patricia went out of her way to accomodate my order and when the flowers arrived on the big island the Tuesday before the parade they were absolutely beautiful! She had each flower packed with a water pouch at the base of each stem. I followed her instructions on the care and cut each stem and placed them in buckets of water and they each got 3 times bigger and remained hardy and vibrant. The hydrangeas were used in leis for horses and riders in our annual Merrie Monarch parade and they were beautiful. I would absolutely recommend Sunshine International to all my friends and family for their beautiful flowers, great prices and excellent service. Patricia even emailed me after the event to see how everything went. I am extremely satisfied with Patricia and her daughter for going above and beyond in providing the best personal and caring service.
