 From Manila to you |
1790 Milmont Drive San Francisco, CA 95035 United States +1 408 934 9902 |
It is like a party here for the locals who love this place. Bright colors abound beneath the seashell chandelier, as does the good cheer of the friendly and efficient wait staff. The selection of Filippino delicacies here include lumpia, a crispy egg roll tinged with a tangy bite, lemony shrimp and okra soup, and succulent chicken adobo, as well as fried rice and pancit, glass noodles stir-fried with veggies and meat. Desserts include a wonderful ice cream parfait stacked with white beans and jackfruit. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Be your own Korean chef! |
852 Clement Street (between Ninth and Tenth avenues) San Francisco, CA 94118 United States +1 415 387 7888 |
It is truly a hands-on dining experience at this stark black and white restaurant with mirrored walls and a waterfall sculpture at the door. You either order an entree or choose ingredients from the buffet at the back and then cook them yourself in a traditional Korean hot pot at your table. Because it is almost impossible to do this gracefully, it is loads of fun, plus, it is almost impossible not to turn out a delicious meal. Ingredients include pork, chicken, lamb, fish and beef all sliced and ready to go for the carnivore. There are also a few non-standard items, like pork intestines. For the vegetarian, there are tempting seasonal veggies as well as taro root and tofu. This place can be crowded on weekends, so go early. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Spicy and sleek |
1740 Fillmore Street San Francisco, CA 94115 United States +1 415 567 7789 http://indiapalacesf.com/ |
There is a tantalizing aroma of curry hanging heavy in the air of this tidy little restaurant. The decor is equally inviting with copper wainscoting that gleams beneath mirrored panels topped with pink and gold scalloped cutouts. The menu is extensive and includes classics such as Lamb Vindaloo, Chicken Curry and Tandoori Prawns. There is an excellent selection of vegetarian selections too, including a superb Mutter Panneer (green peas with home-made cheese cubes in a mild curry sauce). For dessert, there are traditional Kheer (a pudding made with aromatic Basmati rice) and Gulab Jamun (cheese balls fried and then soaked in fruit-flavored syrups). The wait staff is quick and efficient. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The food here is delicious, but the view (180 degrees to be exact) of San Francisco Bay is astounding. On clear warm nights, the view gets even better when the ceiling of the glass-enclosed establishment is rolled back for romantic dining under the stars. That California Cuisine-style dining includes quail roasted to succulent perfection and the catch of the day cooked to order. For dessert, the Creme Brulee Sampler of Vanilla, Almond and Espresso is rich and decadently delicious. For the Sunday brunch that draws couples and families from all over Marin, a buffet stretches seemingly forever with more than 30 items from which to choose as you sip champagne and watch the sun play on the water. The service is impeccable and the wine list has won several awards, including one from the Wine Spectator for excellence. Review © 2007, Wcities |
