San Francisco Food Guide | My Top 15 Must-Try Restaurants 🍽️✨

Living in SF for 2.5 years, and I’ve discovered some seriously delicious spots! Here are my absolute favorites: South American Cuisine 🌎 🐟 La Mar ($$$) – My go-to Peruvian spot with insane ceviche and ocean views! Perfect for special occasions. 🌮 Tacos El Patron ($) – Must-order: Birria tacos (dip 'em in consommé!) and crispy fish tacos. Safer area than Mission! Southeast Asian 🍜 🥘 Nari () – Creative fusion dishes—small plates, so order a bunch! Korean 🇰🇷 🥩 Han Il Kwan ($) – Korean-approved best BBQ in SF! Their tofu soup and seafood pancake are unbeatable. 🥘 Daeho ($) – Famous for braised short ribs (galbijjim)—go medium-spicy! Pro tip: Join Yelp waitlist early. Italian � 🍝 Itria ($$$) – Perfect date spot! Their crudo and handmade pastas are divine. 🍕 Tony’s Pizza Napoletana ($) – Life-changing pizza! Cal Italia (fig jam + prosciutto) is a MUST. Chinese 🥢 🥟 HK Lounge Bistro ($) – As a Cantonese food snob, I vouch for their dim sum and roast duck! Always bump into friends here. 🍲 SoHoMei ($) – SF’s only Teochew spot! Crave their rice noodles and claypot porridge. Japanese 🍣 🍣 Domo ($) – Hidden gem for affordable, creative sushi! Worth the wait (near cool shops). 🍲 Udon Mugizo ($) – Best udon in town! Nabeyaki (hot pot udon) and cream udon are elite. Desserts & Bakeries � 🫐 Palmetto Superfoods ($) – Best açaí bowls in SF! Grab one before Dolores Park. 🥐 Arsicault Bakery ($) – Almond croissant = flaky, buttery heaven. The filling AND crust are almond-loaded! #SFfoodie #BestBites #SanFranciscoEats #BayAreaFood #HiddenGems
