Saigon to Paris Cafe
Andrea and I took a redeye to get to my parents. They picked us up at the airport and then we went to lunch at this Vietnamese/French restaurant and patisserie. It was in an odd location in the middle of a warehouse district. The place was pretty full for a random Thursday. Menu looked great

Katsuya
Heard about the chicken katsu here and since it’s one of the few times I’m downtown, Andrea and I went here for lunch. Andrea had the Chicken Katsu Curry Rice and I had the Chicken Katsu Sando Meal. The katsu itself was fine, but in general everything else kinda mediocre. Andrea thought the curry was

Saru
Just an impromptu lunch after doing the Noe Valley Garden Tour. We had the Spicy Cracker to start and the 12-piece nigiri omakase. Satisfying lunch. https://sarusushisf.com

Lunette
We’ve been meaning to eat here ever since seeing it on thge Netflix show Chef’s Table Noodles (episode 4) which had a great story. Plus, we don’t often find Cambodian food. So after work (Andrea was in the office) we met up at the Ferry Building. The restaurant is very casual with only walk-in or

Andrea was working in the office, so we often look for an opportunity to eat out. We ended up picking Kiln since I’ve been interested in revisiting ever since we first (and last) ate here almost 2 years ago.

Good Good Culture Club
We were down in the Mission for the first Mission Night Market. We had to figure out where to eat. Anything on Valencia Street where the market was happening was going to be a mess, so we were walking towards Delfina (which we’ve done take away many many times, but haven’t eaten in the restaurant

Absinthe Brasserie & Bar
We (me, Andrea, Kirsten, Greg) were going to the first event of the KQED Reframe Festival and wanted to have dinner nearby. I booked us for Absinthe which conveniently about a block away. I haven’t been here for at least 15 years and it’s a testament to the longevity of the restaurant. Andrea and I

Okane
We went to the art show at Hunters Point shipyard and were looking for something for dinner. We picked this place because it was pretty close to where we were and a place I had been curious about for awhile esp. after having eaten at Omakase, the sister restaurant, a couple weeks ago. This is

Buttermilk & Bourbon
First dinner here in Boston with Matthias and Bella at one of the Krastel’s favorite places they discovered. Cuisine is Souther and Cajun. We definitely had to have the buttermilk biscuits which were delicious and were already honey glazed. They came with a couple spreads – smoked cinnamon butter and a pimento cheese with a
