Came here on September 24, 2017.
This restaurant is located at the shore of Pier 39 and is one of the most highly rated restaurants in Pier 39 and the entire Fisherman's Wharf area. The seafood is very fresh and the portions are very generous, which can definitely provide a hearty feast for seafood lovers.
Another highlight of the restaurant is the view. The view of the restaurant faces the San Francisco Bay, so you can see the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and other landscapes.
Therefore, this restaurant is very popular and you have to wait for a seat when you come. It is recommended that you take a number first and walk around Pier 39 before eating.
When you come to San Francisco, you must try seafood platter. Lobster, crab, shrimp, mussels. Paired with local craft beer, it's simply great. Clam chowder has the best soup. There are a lot of ingredients in the soup, and the clam is very big. No wonder it is the winner of the best clam chowder in the Bay Area in 2019.

The durian pizza is really much better than other pizza shops. It is super sweet, soft and delicious when it is just out of the oven, and the dough is not too thick. I don't know why the curry sauce is delicious with pasta or rice~
While cruising the West coast, we stopped here (in The Ferry Building) for Lunch. I ordered the Clam Chowder. The clam chowder is possibly the best this side of Boston.

The lobster soup with rice is a dish I ordered again last year because I had a good impression of it. The soup is rich and has a milky aroma. Every spoonful can pick up some lobster meat. The rice used for the soup is fried rice and soft rice. The ratio of ingredients is just right. Fortunately, the portion is not large, otherwise you will get sick of it if you eat too much of this dish.
This pizza is just amazing. Omgosh, I’m still dreaming about it. The crust was so flavorful. It was cooked to perfection. I ordered a Oppsie Daisy Cocktail and it was okay. We had salad that was very large and shareable. We ordered Sweet Grandma The Butcher. It was so good. I can not wait to come again. We arrived at 11:30 am for noon opening and we were first in line. Small restaurant so expect a wait.

We went to get a number at around four o'clock, so we didn't have to wait long and got our meal. The signature dish, salt and pepper Dungeness crab, was large in portion and tasty, and the scallops and shrimps were also big. I have to say that the Chinese have taken seafood to the extreme!
Lingnan Restaurant is a very famous restaurant in San Francisco. You can tell from the name that it is a Cantonese restaurant. The restaurant attracts many Chinese people to eat here. The dishes are very authentic, the taste is really good, and the price is quite reasonable.

The signature lobster soup is a must-order when you enter the restaurant. It is made with top-quality lobsters and a rich broth, with a bright color and a fragrant aroma. The beef is evenly textured, the broth is fresh, and the quality is excellent. Paired with a secret dipping sauce, you can enjoy a high-end experience on your tongue.
This was first crab restaurant that we tried at Pier 39. We ordered two crabs. It was good, especially the sauce. We also tried clam chowder and crab cakes. Everything was nice.

This place is a must you cannot miss if you are in San Francisco.
Remind making a reservation with at least a couple of months! Since it is always full and very crowded.
But besides that, the experiencie is unforgetable.
The personnel is great and the prime rib is excellent.
The place is also unique.
House of Prime Rib is a long-established steakhouse in San Francisco. Although the waiting time is long, it is definitely worth it. The steak is cooked to perfection and tastes great!

The dishes in the restaurant are not only beautiful but also taste great, especially the Matcha Mochi Pancake, which has a rich matcha flavor and is not too sweet. It is really my favorite!
Although the restaurant is located in the Tenderloin district and the security is a little poor, the overall dining experience is very good and worth a try, especially when enjoying delicious food with friends.

The line down the block was our first indication this could be THE breakfast spot in SF. Then we tasted the food. Fresh, fast, and supremely tasty Mama’s didn’t disappoint. Lots of love appear at in every dish. So worth the wait! Show up early and come hungry. The portions are large.
The taste is absolutely amazing. It’s a rare opportunity. I will come again next time.

Verified user reviews
A very delicious Chinese restaurant. Although I am not particularly fond of spicy food, the Sichuan cuisine in this restaurant is quite delicious. The chef is very famous. Among the restaurants in San Francisco, this restaurant is quite famous.
Yu Shi Yuan is quite famous in Chinatown. The Sichuan cuisine they serve may be a little spicy for Sichuanese, but for those of us who prefer lighter food, it is still very good. There are many dishes, so it would be better to make a reservation.

A trendy Italian restaurant in San Francisco, featuring fresh seafood that highlights natural flavors
Verified user reviews
In San Francisco make special effort to try this Italian restaurant. Eclectic, but well worth the money. Service efficient, good choice & value on wine & beer. Limited menu (mostly very fresh seafood), but quite professional in selection & taste.
No reservations taken for parties of two, but we found a seat in under 5 minutes.
Would definitely return.
There are many people, and you have to wait for five minutes to be seated. The seafood western food tastes great, with ice water and bread before the meal🍞🍞🍞
