Priya Saiprasad: I'm in love with this tapas-style steakhouse. Order the Croquetas, Carne Empanadas, Pork Chop, Flank Steak and a side order of the Papas. Pair it with one of their signature cocktails & you're golden!
Nic Miranda: GET. THE. FLANK STEAK. OMG!
Kenny Katzoff: Flank steak
Rebecca Moi: Re: pho.. #11 (well-done flank steak) is just strips of fat & tendon, no actual meat. Gross (IMO). If you want slices of tender, delicious beef in your pho, get the brisket instead. Trust.
Liana Duckworth: Pho with meatballs my favorite when I come there! #17 I think!
Lauren F: Best pho in SF proper. No 9 with meatball 😋

Noreen Floreza: Must try the Farm egg raviolo with brown butter, ricotta cheese on crostini with honey from the beehives on their rooftop, the smoked salmon pizza, the flank steak and the donuts. Excellent!
Doug de Wet: The Raviolo di ricotta is decadent and wonderful. Rich egg yolk, nutty brown butter, salty aged cheese, sweet, creamy ricotta enclosed in perfect fresh pasta to form a luxurious, sexy umami bomb.
Eater: They had us at housemade ricotta. [Eater 38 Member]

SFist: The banh mi chay here is amazing coming complete with pickled carrots and radishes, cucumber, jalapeños, marinated and fried tofu that actually tastes good (and not "vegetarian" good, but good good). Read more.
Monica Kirst: Best Bahn mi in the Inner Richmond. $4 each.
Marc Aure: Peter's special is good! Egg over easy and special lemongrass sauce. Win.
WhiskeyAvenger: Feel like a beer? They often have an assortment of African beers on offer. One of my favorites is Hakim Stout. Goes well with the meet dishes while quelling the intense spices.
Doc Pop: Coming for the gluten-free Injera? Be sure to call ahead of time to confirm. They often use wheat with their teff, but if you call in advance they can make a special batch for you.
Scott H: Vegetarian combo for two. We always think it won't be enough, but it always is. Great service and delicious food.

John Mellor: Loved the breakfast burrito with flank steak (includes avocado & rosemary hash browns)!
Carolyn Coles: My favourite breakfast, lunch, coffee spot in SOMA. Great for eating, working, or making new friends when you are in town for business.
Jason Rashaad: The breakfast burrito was so good I soiled myself. You should try it before you die. The burrito, not soiling yourself in public. Don't do that.
Kitt McCurdy: I break my vegetarian rules for the #17 five star chicken pho, so good!
cyn k: absolutely delish pho.
John Niedermeyer: If you’re going for the first time, go for pho. (I like the #17 five spice chicken.) Cash-only, but $10 is all you need for a delicious, spicy bowl of noodle soup. Perfect for a quick bite on the go.

River Mars: Must try Pho first!
