Kitchen Story

I’m pretty late on the Kitchen Story hype (not sure if you would still consider this place hyped) but I enjoyed it nonetheless!
I ordered the ribeye omurice — scrambled eggs over jasmine rice, minced ribeye, carrots, cherry pepper, spinach, and scallions with a demi glazed sauce. Portions were very generous, but the meat to rice ratio was skewed. I would’ve liked more meat for my rice because I’m very particular about that ratio. (As a side note, I eat my rice dishes with a fork and spoon like any other Filipina — so for me, each spoonful must have the perfect rice to meat to sauce ratio.)
I enjoyed the rainbow potatoes — perfectly crispy and I loved the variety of potatoes. I shared a side of the millionaire’s bacon with two friends and it was heavenly — glazed and thick cut.
Prices are definitely steep at $ 12.45 — $ 17.75 per brunch entrée, $ 8.25 for 2 slices of millionaire’s bacon and $ 19 per person for bottomless mimosas. At the same time, what else would you expect when having brunch in the city? A tad pricey, but worth it if you don’t have to endure a long wait.
My friends ordered their bottomless mimosas and they were NOT stingy with the refills at all. The pitchers kept rolling in and they refilled their glasses without asking. My friends had to tap out and turn down the refills lol. I loved that we didn’t have to flag them down for refills or anything at all. Not sure if it would have been a different story on the weekend, but service was great. I came here on a weekday afternoon with no wait at all so I can’t speak to how busy it is on weekends.
Not rushing back because I’m rarely in the city, but would consider Kitchen Story as a solid brunch option in San Francisco.

Great Food. It has less seating area but enough natural light coming in so it feels big. My table was right next to the restroom and against a wall which I didnt really like. But the food was great. The service was also nice, the staff kept checking on us periodically, and they were very smiling. A little on the pricey side, but me and my friend both enjoyed our meal.

I’ve wanted to come to Kitchen Story for some time now and decided to take the leap this past week. The restaurant is decorated well and reminds me of a fusion between café and restaurant.
A friend and I decided to try the famous millionaire’s bacon and my boyfriend tried the mango salad. The first terrible thing that happened was that my water glass had a terrible odor of bleach, which was a bit odd, but I attributed this to using a dishwasher to clean their dishes. The millionaire’s bacon was interesting. I’m still unsure as to whether or not I’d eat it again. My bacon was fairly cold and was EXTREMELY sweet. I thought it would be similar to maple syrup or brown sugar bacon, but was a bit taken aback. My potatoes were good, but very very cold. The eggs were the best, but I’ve never had a sunny side up egg that tasted bad. My boyfriend’s mango salad tasted more like fish sauce than any other flavor and was very plain in terms of seasoning.
Overall, I really did want to love this place after reading amazing reviews, but I just can’t get past the fact that most of my supposed hot food was given to me cold and that the water just tasted like it was diluted bleach.

Believe the hype!
I came here on a Monday for lunch with the parentals to avoid the torturously long wait. This was a fantastic idea! I was even able to make reservations ahead of time. Even on a weekday, the place was completely packed, but I didn’t see any line out the door.
My parents were blown away by the portions and presentation. Although the service felt a bit rushed, that didn’t really detract from the overall experience. We enjoyed the millionaire’s bacon ($ 8.25) as a side, which is basically the thickest slice of bacon I’ve ever encountered. It’s delicious but expensive, and best shared.
I also had the ribeye omurice ($ 16.75) and this was an amazing and hearty entrée. There’s a decent amount of vegetables mixed into the jasmine rice so I’m convinced it’s on the healthier side. I also really enjoyed the rainbow potatoes on the side.
Kitchen Story has an awesome, laid-​back atmosphere complete with fresh and unique dishes. It’s a true standout in the SF brunch scene. However, definitely come on the weekdays if you can swing it… I question if it’s worth the wait on the weekends.

This place is just about the perfect place to go to for Sunday brunch. It’s totally worth the wait. Me and my friend were seated inside and even though the place was packed, we never felt overlooked. The host was very attentive, quick to serve drinks and regularly checked on us if we were ready to order.
The food is just amazing, and a real gem considering the quality, price and location. We both ordered the belly rancheros, after it was recommended to us by the host. I really liked the cinnamon touch. If you, like me, have a taste for sweet, this is a must-​try. The bottomless mimosa’s refilled super fast which, at the pace we were drinking, is worth mentioning.
I’d definitely go back here. The only thing I would recommend is to get a table outside, if at all possible. It does get a bit loud on the inside, especially when it’s really busy.

Somehow our group (7 of us) managed to get a table for Sunday brunch without waiting. Hooray! We arrived around 9:30am and were seated inside. They will only seat you if your entire party is present. The entire menu looked awesome but the foods I tried were:
Primavera Omelette: egg white omelette w/​spinach, tomato and mushroom (+ avocado). I was feeling like I needed to cleanse my body of all the heinous things I ate over the weekend so chose this option. The omelette itself was bland, but could be remedied by some hot sauce or other topping. The side of mixed potatoes was probably the best part. Loved that they added sweet potatoes in the mix and that they weren’t overly salted and tasteless. Overall, would probably not order this/​recommend when there are so many other great things on the menu.
French toast: deep fried, stuffed with mascarpone and served with berries and caramelized bananas. This is where my healthy breakfast went south, but I have no regrets– it was one of the best breakfast items i’ve ever had. I only took a few bites because it is super sweet and rich. I recommend splitting or getting an order for the group as an accompaniment to your meal.
They had great coffee and I never saw the bottom of my cup the entire meal– great service! The portions are huge and could definitely be split. Although we got lucky, there are usually long wait times. I think they allow you to grab drinks and have them outside while waiting which is appreciated.

Great food with quick and attentive service, what’s not to love?
As soon as you order, some squash (or sweet potato, not really sure) chips are placed on the table which are good.
I ordered the Pad Kee Mow (which is essentially drunken noodles) and they were happy to veganize it and add tofu. DELICIOUS! Would definitely order again.
My brother ordered the short rib tacos and he loved it. It comes with three relatively large tacos and we expected them to be much smaller, so that’s a plus.
Our waitress came and checked on us often and filled up our water almost as soon as we drank it.
Good food and good service!

Instead of sticking to sausage, my usual choice of breakfast meat, I was curious and wanted to try the Millionaire’s bacon due to all the great reviews about it, so I ordered the Millionaire’s Benedict (Millionaire’s Bacon, asparagus, tomato, hollandaise). It did not live up to its name. Honestly, I thought the bacon was average in both taste and texture. Definitely edible, but nothing I would rave about. Also, the potatoes that it came with on the side were dry. The only part of my meal that I actually enjoyed were the eggs, but if you are a restaurant known for brunch, you can’t mess up eggs. Our server was nice (I think), but very quiet and a bit hard to hear at times. Cute restaurant, but just alright overall.

Finally got to check this place out for dinner and it was pretty good!
Came on a Monday night around 7:30 and there were plenty of tables available. My party of 4 got seated immediately.
I wanted to get one of their dinner specials because Asian fusion is really where Kitchen Story shines, but they had too many options and I was trying to order something quickly, so I ended up opting for the chicken noodle soup sans cilantro.
The chicken noodle soup ($ 13) was pretty tasty, but not mindblowingly so. It was a chilly SF evening and I was in the mood for some noodle soup, so this really hit the spot. The chicken they use is breast meat which I’m usually not a huge fan of because it tends to be dry, but this chicken was alright.
Something that surprised me was that the rice noodles were flavored! After eating a lot of phở, I’ve been conditioned to to expect bland rice noodles, so I wasn’t expecting the flavor in my first mouthful of rice noodles.
The soup itself was just all right. I didn’t drink much of it after I finished the noodles and toppings, which I usually do if I like the broth.
One of my friends ordered the open face, which essentially was a fancy loco moco and looked absolutely delicious. I want to try that out next time!
Service was good and we received our food quickly. I wanted to be in and out of the restaurant in an hour to make it to a trivia event nearby, and we were able to do so with time to spare!

I came here to celebrate a joint 21^st birthday brunch with a friend on a Sunday. The line may seem long, but it actually goes by pretty fast. We waited for approximately half an hour, and there was complimentary fruit infused water which was nice. We were seated at the bar, and we were salivating while waiting for our food because we could see all the dishes come out from the kitchen.
My friend and I shared the Belly Rancheros and Ribeye Omurice. It’s always a good sign when you see that the avocado is perfectly ripe when served on a dish. The avocado, guacamole, pico de gallo, and pork belly on top of a tortilla. The taste really surprised me because the pork belly sauce was actually sweet, and the pico de gallo and guacamole contrasted that by being more rich and refreshing. I’m usually not a fan of fusion foods, and was pleasantly surprised by the dish. The pork belly was tender, and there was an even ratio of meat and fat. The Ribeye Omurice was also delicious! It was a thick egg omelette over fried rice. The egg was extremely fluffy and the ribeye was juicy. I liked the sauce because it brought more flavor to the dish. Both dishes were extremely aesthetically pleasing, and also came with a side of potatoes. They used a many different colors of potatoes, and some of them were actually sweet potato! What a pleasant surprise! I have never had sweet potatoes during brunch before but boy, were they good. They potatoes were nicely crispy on the outside and weren’t too oily.
Their dishes are on the more expensive side, but portions are pretty hefty, and it’s a nice place to treat yourself to every once in awhile!

I have been here a great many times and the worst thing about this place is the (occasional) wait-​time. The best thing is… everything else about it.
The staff, service, location, sunshine, food, décor, flavor, charm… IT’S ALL WONDERFUL.
Most of my friends in the city know this as a brunch spot, but it is much more than that, they serve dinner pretty much every night.
Anyway, the best foods:
Belly Rancheros: This. is. the. most. interesting. and. delicious. item. on. the. menu. according to me and all my friends I’ve dragged here. The slow-​roasted pork is FULL of delicious flavors, the eggs are always perfect, the guac is amazingly fresh and delicious and the potatoes compliment everything and soak up the egg perfectly. I am personally not the greatest at eating spicy things so I say get the kimchi on the side (or not at all) – it’s still plenty delicious without.
Frisco Benedict: Some sort of magical breakfast that can bring you to life. If you’re looking for a go-​to tried and true plate, go here.
BEC: (Regular breakfast/​lunch menu) A wholesome, delicious, (relatively healthy!) sandwich that guarantees to make you feel alive.
Mom’s Benedict: This is one of the best, basic benedicts in the Castro. Second only to Lark and Fable, this is the third best bennie in this hood.
Marscapone Stuffed Deep Fried French Toast: WOOF. Buyer beware. This is not a plate for the weak of heart (or stomach) it’s a gargantuan sweet treat that is undoubtedly delicious, but not — definitely not — the thing you should eat if you plan on doing much throughout the day. It’s a LOT of sugar that hits you and is delicious, but I personally think this dish is best shared in part with other plates at the same time. Ie: you and your friend should get this and something else and go halfsies on both.
Other notes: Unlimited mimosas are $ 19, Bloody Marys are BEAUTIFUL, but dangerous, and hot chocolate is amazing.
Service and everything else are wonderful. This is a great brunch spot that’s EASY to get a seat at if you’re just 2 people. With 3 or more, expect to wait 20 – 40 minutes on a normal weekend at prime time, or longer with a larger group.

This place was a big let down. It is such a hyped place in SF for brunch, but the service is horrendous. For a party of 3, we waited about 45 minutes just to get seated (and over an hour for our food). This was roughly around noon on a Saturday for reference.
Once seated, the table was super tiny as they were really cramming everyone in. It was a table intended for 2, but they try to squeeze in more if they can apparently. So be ready to bump elbows, especially with neighboring tables. Also the noise level inside is insane. So many people laughing really loud and trying to talk over everyone else. I had to lean forward to understand what my friend’s were saying.
We ordered as soon as we could since it seemed so busy. We were also trying not to stay too long since we had a lot of sightseeing to do with a friend who was visiting. Waited about an hour for our food to come. About 45 minutes into waiting for our food, we were comped 2 of their biscuits (wish it had been 3 considering there were 3 of us). But in reality we really just wanted our entrees. I’ll admit their biscuits were pretty good. Freshly baked and nice texture, but it was hard to enjoy while having to wait so long. We tried the mascarpone french toast, the Frisco benedict, and the Millionaire’s Bacon.
Mascarpone French Toast:
Very yummy, but on the rich and heavy side. Probably could not finish this myself, but it’d be better for sharing. Reminds me a lot of carnival fair food. It’s not overly sweet which was great and it came with some fresh fruit and syrup.
Frisco Benedict:
Really good, but nothing memorable. The sausage wasn’t the most flavorful, but the fresh avocado and poached egg were fantastic. Their roasted potatoes are also really good.
Millionaire’s Bacon:
The most overrated thing on the menu probably. Thickly cut slices of bacon that have some sweetness and peppery kick to them. I’d skip over this unless you really just have to get it.
Overall, this place is overhyped for brunch. It is very busy and was not worth the wait. Really did have some good expectations, but it was about as disappointing as their sister restaurant Sweet Maple. There are a lot of good brunch options in SF, I wouldn’t recommend this as one of them.

2.5
Came here today Sunday, 4.24.16 at 10am.
There’s of ton of street parking if you come here early. Actually when we walked back around 2−3pm there were still quite a few parking spots around the area.
No wait for my party of four. Service is weird here. Asian ran. No diversity at all, but that’s their business not mine. The lady who was our waitress was very awkward. Literally 3 minutes after we sat down she came back to hover over our table not saying a word. So I though maybe she wants to tell us about their specials.
Me: «Do you have any specials?»
Her: *shakes head*
Me: «Oh okay, well we’re not ready yet can we please have a few more minutes to decide?»
I ordered the two eggs (over medium) with their famous millionaires bacon and the coconut crème latte.
Millionaires bacon is overhyped y’all. It just taste like Chinese beef/​pork jerky! It’s quite sweet and glazed. Slightly thicker than typical American bacon. Eggs were cooked perfectly.
The biscuit made me sad. So sad that I wanted to cry. I love biscuits. It looked like there was a lot of cheddar, but it lacked that sharp cheddar taste. There’s supposedly basil in there as well. I taste no such thing. For some reason this biscuit tasted sweet too. I was expecting it to taste savory.
Coconut crème latte SUCKED. DO NOT ORDER THIS. It’s so incredibly sweet. I told one of the staff members and asked to get some plain coffee added. Didn’t help. &&& they charged me for a full cup of plain coffee. –_​_​– What terrible customer service. I guess they don’t care whether or not their customers are happy. I ended up wasting it and not drinking the rest, but whatever. I made a mistake. I take responsibility for it. I learned from it. I move on.
When we left, we saw a few groups waiting outside. I found that a bit odd because there were so many empty tables inside and noticed the workers walking around aimlessly.
TL;DR-Mediocre. Overhyped. Probably won’t try their sister restaurant Sweet Maple.

This place is all the buzz and I know how ridiculously busy they get on the weekends for brunch, so I was definitely expecting for them to bring on the A game. Sadly what happened the night I went was exactly the opposite (see also Lisa D’s review).
CONS
It took far too long for a server to arrive at our table.
Bread was served about an hour after we sat down.
Drink orders took another lengthy amount of time.
Orders were taken — one order was complete wrong because the server heard incorrectly (everyone on the table heard correctly). He never apologized, took the right order and brought the burger back from the kitchen 15 minutes later entirely raw. Like just the surface was grey-​brown and EVERYTHING right under was pink ground beef.
added 1.50 charge for splitting credit cards (is this a thing in SF? I have not come across it before. Lame.)
PROS
Large portions
Great cocktails
Cute theme
I ordered the pulled pork tacos. While they were good and filled with tons of meat, what sold me to order this dish were the salsas on the side. The dish was HUGE, but the there was barely any salsa. Just a tiny dish with about 2 small spoonfuls of each of the three. You barely got to enjoy it. So too much meat and not even to enhance the tacos.
I’m probably being more harsh than I should be, so take this review with a grain of salt but the overall experience was totally disappointing.

Millionaire’s bacon. Millionaire’s bacon. Millionaire’s bacon. I’ll write some more stuff, but really, that’s all you need to know about Kitchen Story.
I had the Millionaire’s Benedict with a side of potato wedges. The wedges are decent, and they taste pretty good with some of the Hollandaise from the Benedict. But really, that Millionaire’s bacon is so damn good. It’s so sweet, it almost tastes like you’re eating candy. I would literally fly back to San Francisco right now just to have some more.
Unlimited mimosas are also a plus!!!

First thing walking into this place in the morning, I got a goof whiff of cleaning detergents.
I had the belly rancheros and a side order of millionaire’s bacon.
— belly rancheros
poached eggs atop slow braised pork belly with avocado, arugula, kimchi pico de gallo, and guacamole on corn tortillas. served with a medley of potatoes.
I’ve had «millionaire’s bacon» at another brunch spot before. it’s a thick cut of bacon coated with brown sugar and baked, it also had red pepper flakes which gave it a little kick.
Food was good, service was decent, but the smell of cleaning detergent from walking through the entrance as well as stepping into the restroom was overpowering for me.

¹⁴⁄₁₀₀:
A super super SUPER long overdue review. I haven’t been here in a while, and the last time I ever came here was 2014 so I’ll only review on what I recall.
Pros:
— Very simple menu that consists of breakfast, brunch, and dinner.
— Homely and nice interior with table seating, as well as bar seating.
— Their menu is also unique. Expect to find lots of Western foods with an Asian fusion added to em.
— They have unique drinks available
— Their food is asthetically pleasing to the eye and contains a lot of colors to them.
— If you don’t want to drive you can easily walk here after taking the Castro muni.
Cons:
— Pretty expensive entrees. Don’t expect to come here and spend under $ 20, or expect to spend that much if you’re dining alone.
— Parking is street, so if you’re lucky enough to find some then that’s good.
— Place gets crowded during the day, best times to come are when they open (around 8am I believe)
— Service is a big hit or miss, sometimes the workers will acknowledge you, sometimes they wont.
Pretty much like Sweet Maple if you’re down for the Millionaires Bacon and Western-​Asian fusions foods. I’ve yet to come for lunch or dinner, but I’ve come for breakfast and it’s okay.

You don’t put chicken to a vegetarian dish, especially when your menu doesn’t list it as the ingredient!!!
Don’t get scared of a low food safety score, you might like the place after all. We had a reservation for 2 at 6:30 Friday night. The place was almost empty around that time, but got really packed pretty soon. They have several tables for parties of 8, so it might get loud and little tight.
The service is friendly and attentive. We got our order taken quick, got the water refilled during the meal. I noticed that the presentation of all plates is amazing and it makes you want to try them all. It’s very convenient that the menu has peanuts underlined, so if you are allergic, it’s a place to go! Samosas that you get as a starter are a nice addition to the meal.
I ordered Sexy Aloha, which was served in a pineapple. According to the menu, it has egg and shrimps, raisins, cashews, onions and tomatoes. When I got my plate I was so excited to eat, as it looked so festive! After finishing half of my rice, I noticed that there is chicken in my meal. And not just a piece, but like 5 pieces of chicken. And I’m pescaterian: I don’t eat meat and that’s why ordered this dish. I was offended and disgusted, and my appetite was gone. The server was quite apologetic and fine about that, he took care of my plate. When I got it back, my friend already finished hers, so I asked to pack it to go.
Considering great service, wonderful food presentation, extensive menu and very convenient location, I would suggest giving this place a try. Though my personal experience was unsatisfactory.

Came with a party of 9 around 10am-​ish. Be prepared to wait in general and even longer for large groups. Haha. This place is hella busy.
They have a lot of amazing dishes. I ordered the Millionaire’s Benedict. The eggs were perfectly done and dish tasted great. They have interesting sriracha sauce flavors such as sundried tomato. It was bomb. As for the millionaire’s bacon, I wasn’t all that amazed by it. Don’t think it was worth. It was simply a somewhat thicker sliced piece of bacon glazed and baked for a long time. I thought it was going to be thicker.
Ribeye Omurice Breakfast — Large portion, but needs more ribeye. Still tasty.
Belly Rancheros Breakfast — I think I liked this dish the best out of the one’s I tried. Lots of flavors and a large portion.

I came here for valentine’s day brunch. Wait time was decent, 25 – 40 minutes, but what brunch place isn’t in the city? If you want a good brunch, you’ll have to wait. Although, if you’re driving by and you see a massive crowd, don’t be scared off because it’s right next to Ike’s so the lines outside tend to blend together!
Kitchen Story is Asian fusion which I find appealing because it’s good ol’ brunch food but with the efficiency/​quickness of Asians LOL
I got seated at the bar and was going to try the millionaire bacon but for like $ 14, I was like dafuq, ain’t nobody got money fo dat!
Anyway, as I was waiting for our order, something caught my eye… and then my life was changed forever… SRIRACHA SUNDRIED TOMATO KETCHUP. #WUT? YAS girl! Finally I didn’t have to ask for both ketchup and sriracha and mix them together. Also, the fact that it’s sundried gave the sauce a nice hearty thickness and a certain sweetness to it that made breakfast potatoes all the more yummy and also completed the omurice. Okay sorry for that huge tangent but I had to express my excitement. ALL breakfast places should have this.
As for the food, I shared the Belly Rancheros and Omurice. The rancheros looked lovely but the belly marinade was too sweet for my taste. It did have that vietnamese spice element to it though (similar to taste of viet beef stew). I liked omurice better actually, but I could literally taste the butter in the rice, which I’m not sure is a bad or beautiful thing.
Normal brunch prices, good portions, different/​innovative dishes :)

Super restau ! Mon ami guillaume à eu un orgasme culinaire en prenant le east feedz west.
Super service, super quartier, n’hésitez pas !

Depois que quase todos os meus colegas de trabalho vieram ao Kitchen Story, e a maioria das avaliações foi de +4 estrelas, achei que seria uma boa idéia dar uma passadinha por aqui principalmente porque ia passar o final de semana inteiro em San Francisco.
Eu não sou fã de bacon (ok, pode julgar), então todas essas sugestões de comer o Millionaire Bacon foram ignoradas — mas se você ama bacon nem precisa olhar no menu, você quer pedir isso. Eu tava afim de uma refeição mais asiática.
Não sei você, mas para mim a idéia de um lugar que vende hambúrgueres, bacon e pad thai me pareceu curiosa. Acabamos pedindo um espécie de asian noddles com frango e eu pedi um chá tailândes. Estava gostoso mas nada surreal.
O serviço era simpático e sorridente e quando a conta chegou veio dentro de um livro, apresentação interessante.
Comer/​beber em SF não é muito barato, então já consegue imaginar que um jantar para duas pessoas aqui não vai sair por menos de 50 dólares.

Llegamos al Kitchen Story un poco por recomendación de alguien que había ido el día anterior, y la verdad es que yo salí bien encantado. Éramos una mesa de esas bien grandes, algo ruidosa (es lo que tiene cuando te juntas más de diez) y bastante multicultural (España, Italia, Portugal, Reino Unido… un poco de todo, vaya) en la que se entremezclaban idiomas constantemente. Así que le concederé a nuestro pobre camarero, un santo varón, el beneficio de la duda: estoy seguro que el pobre no sabía cómo bregar con nosotros, y estaba dudando entre si echarnos a patadas del establecimiento o tomarnos la comanda.
Afortunadamente para nosotros se decidió por la segunda. De primero pedimos un par de Millionare’s Way, que no es otra cosa que espárragos con sirope de arce y bacon crujiente. Bueno, mi recomendación es que no dejes pasar la oportunidad y te jinques un buen plato de eso (dos, si puedes) porque es una cosa tan deliciosa que se va a quedar grabado en tus papilas gustativas PARA SIEMPRE. El bacon, de hecho, está tan buenísimo que me sentí un poco como cuando Ted Mosby como bacon por primera vez, y desea acabar con todas las reservas mundiales de bacon. Dios, qué rico.
Luego yo me decanté por la hamburguesa, que es un mostrenco de tamaño considerable, rodeado de patatas fritas gajo. Estaba increíble, deliciosa, y la verdad es que siento que acerté muchísimo, aunque también he de reconocer que el resto de cosas que vi en la mesa tenían una pinta escandalosamente buena.
Así que muy bien todo: la comida y el lugar, fundamentalmente. El servicio… un poco descabezado, tuvimos que pedir un par de veces que nos tomaran nota y luego la cuenta fue un poco una locura, pero en general bien, sonriente y simpático, que es lo que importa…

Ouahou ! Mais c’est quoi ce bacon ?!
Car oui, on né va pas chez Kitchen Story par hasard ! On m’a dit, tu verras, le bacon là bas est juste «crazyyyy». Effectivement, quand on regarde la carte, on voit que la majorité des plats en contient. Mon premier choix s’est porté sur des «scallops» enrobées dans le fameux bacon, le tout posé sur un sandwich. Alors ok je me débrouille en anglais, mais parfois il y a des faux amis… comme les scallops… qui né sont pas des «escalopes» mais des St Jacques. Des fruits de mer quoi ! Et la majorité d’entre vous savent que les fruits de mer et moi c’est juste… pas possible !
Je vous laisse imaginer ma tête quand j’ai vu mon plat arriver et l’ascenseur émotionnel qui s’en est suivi ! Heureusement, mon adorable collègue de Naples, Maddalena, m’a proposé d’échanger avec son plat qui était juste sooo miam: un gigantesque burger avec, je vous le donne en mille, le Millionnaire Bacon à l’intérieur ! Danse de la joie ! Echange réussi et papilles plus que ravies. Et ce fameux bacon alors? Et bien vraiment pas mal ! Un chouilla trop épais pour moi mais cuit d’une manière délicieuse !
Bref, encore une bonne adresse sur San Francisco dans un cadre cosy et décoré avec soin !

Le pondría tres estrellas a este establecimiento porque está lejos, es caro, son lentorros sirviendo y otras cosas, pero aquí he tomado la que quizá era la mejor hamburguesa de todo San Francisco, al menos esta primera vez que he estado allí.
Es un restaurante coqueto de Castro que ofrece una carta sencilla, variada y algo elevada de precio para lo que, en mi opinión, debe traer un plato que cuesta de media unos 15 dólares. La hamburguesa son casi 20 dólares y, aunque es deliciosa, no sé si vale tanto.
Sin embargo, y pese a lo negativo que pueda resultar, el sitio es bonito, la comida está rica y el ambiente y el trato de los camareros es de primera. Es un sitio ideal para cenar con amigos en un clima relajado, sin prisas, con luces algo tenues y olvidar el reloj a un lado.
Me gustó mucho el detalle de que la cuenta la traen dentro de un libro, como si fuera un marcapáginas. Otra cosa es que lo que te encuentres dentro sea lo que esperabas: P

Quem vai a um restaurante conhecido pelos hambúrgueres e pede uma salada? Eu! Depois de um almoço que me deixou a tarde inteira a conversar com um hambúrguer, estava com vontade de comer qualquer coisa simples e fresca. Julguei que fosse uma missão impossível em São Francisco, mas aqui encontrei uma salada de atum fresco com um molho picante absolutamente deliciosa. O serviço estava um bocado lento, mas o restaurante é bonito e a comida, impecável. Salvou o meu sistema digestivo!

Gutes Service, schöné Einrichtung, sehr gute Asiatische Küche.
Portionen sind sehr groß. Mom’s Coconut Soup reicht locker für 2 bis 3 Leute. Mit Suppe und Hauptspeise, mehr als satt geworden. Achtung wer scharf bestellt bekommt scharf.

Le meilleur bacon que j’ai mangé de ma vie. Millionnaire Bacon, c’est son nom ! Un bacon tranché épais et confit… Pas frit !
On peut venir dans ce restaurant avec sa propre bouteille de vin, ce qu’en tant que Française je trouve vraiment très étrange, mais après tout pourquoi pas ! Je né me souviens pas bien du repas, mais je sais que je ferai volontiers 10 blocs à pieds pour gouter de nouveau à ce délicieux bacon. Car à la base je né suis pas fan de bacon !!!
La déco est simple, propre et dans l’air du temps. Mais il faut goûter ce bacon?
Millionnaire Bacon. Voilà, je veux retourner à SF !!
