Pizzetta 211: With just four tables inside and three on the sidewalk, waits are often lengthy. Expect creative, flavorful fare like duck confit basteeya and couscous with harissa. Sarah FritscheĪziza: The excellent Mourad restaurant is closer to Super Bowl City mania, but chef/owner Mourad Lahlou's original - and slightly more low-key - Moroccan spot, Aziza, is safely tucked away in the Richmond. The homey Mexican-American fare and Julio Bermejo's (son of founders Tommy and Elmy Bermejo) outstanding collection of over 300 different kinds of 100% agave tequila, which make, perhaps, the best margaritas in town. Tommy's Mexican Restaurant: This classic Mexican joint has been a neighborhood staple for decades, and for good reason. They also sell bags of 'em that you can take home and put in your freezer until you need your next fix. Kingdom of Dumpling: Not to be confused with that other dumpling kingdom across the park, this Taraval spot offers good XLB but is known for its Northern-style shuijiao dumplings, which have thicker wrappers and heartier fillings like lamb and beef tendon. Sub Center: This West Portal sandwich shop is a favorite of locals for its toasty subs, friendly staff, and no-nonsense decor, filled with 49ers and Giants memorabilia.
Amanda GoldĮbisu: There's usually a wait for this sushi place on Ninth, but I like to slip in early when I've got a craving and splurge on the $20 chirashi bowl, which is always fresh and comes with miso soup. Anna Rothīurma Superstar: People spill out the door for a taste of this Burmese cuisine, in particular the tea leaf salad and various curries. House of Pancakes: I love the beef-filled and green onion pancakes with layers of flaky pastry, as well as their hand-pulled noodle soups. Good kalbi, bibimbap and banchan as well. Manna: I'm still working my way through the bubbling tofu and other Korean soups at this Irving spot (which, along with Yummy Yummy's pho, is my go-to on the neighborhood's foggiest days). Hong Kong Lounge 2: Diners love Hong Kong Lounge not only because the dim sum rivals that of the popular Yank Sing across town, but because there are items on the menu that can't be found elsewhere, like the pork ribs in candy plum sauce and the sweet, almost Dutch crunch-like baked pork buns. Its menu is strewn with great dishes - fish warm pots with pickled cabbage, beef pancake, braised lamb shank - though taking a veteran customer might help.

Old Mandarin Islamic: The windows at this tiny Northern Chinese restaurant are perpetually steamed, thanks to the number of lamb hot pots simmering away at the tables. Wait in it anyway, because the hash brown sandwich you're about to have - cheese and sausage griddled between crisp potato shreddings - is worth it, as is the view of the husband-and-wife team who have made the short-order cooking into an art over the past 20 years. Sarah FritscheĪrt's Cafe: There will be a line at this sliver of a diner. Marla Bakery: This Outer Richmond bakery is perfect for grabbing freshly-baked breads and pastries for breakfast or an afternoon snack, but their Sunday Suppers, featuring special guest chefs in the kitchen are a great option for a quiet dinner out. At least one of those three classes of diners are waiting for breakfast sandwiches and beignets, but the lemon bar's reliably excellent, too. (McCrory originally hails from Belfast and it's based on his grandmother's recipe.) -Sarah Fritscheĭevil's Teeth Baking Co.: On Saturday mornings, the sidewalks out front of this bakery are teeming with dogs, surfers and children. The coffee drinks are great, particularly the Snowy Plover iced coffee, but the baked goods are really where it's at, including the Irish soda farl - a type of soda bread cooked stovetop in a cast iron skillet. Andytown Coffee Roasters: This slip of a corner coffee house in the Outer Sunset is owned by Michael McCrory and Lauren Crabbe.
