Kin Khao
A quick early dinner at Kin Khao. During the pandemic, we had takeout/delivery from here, but had never actually eaten in the restaurant and this was/is the only Michelin-starred restaurant in SF at which we had not dined actually in the restaurant (including the latest guide just published). It is the older, but little sister…

Foreign Cinema
A rare Tuesday night dinner eating out for us. We decided to go to Foreign Cinema in the Mission which is a a bit of an institution. It gets it’s name since they play a movie projected onto a wall in the dining area. This was definitely not a foreign film and was in fact…

Mastro’s Steakhouse

Osito

Dragon Beaux
Dim sum for a late Sunday brunch. This restaurant was mentioned in both the SF Chronicle article about best dim sum restaurants as well as in Eater’s list , so we had to try it out. This restaurant is a spin off of the old standby Koi Palace in Daly City. We ordered a ridiculous…
