Lime Tree — Restaurant in San Francisco

This place is superb. A friend and I wandered around and planned to have lunch after a visit to the golden gate park. We picked up this unobtrusive place because we wanted to try some southeast Asian food. That turned out to be a fabulous decision. The restaurant is small in size, half-underground, not looking fancy at all, few customers when we walked in, so tbh we did not have high expectations at the beginning. However, our world views were just changed after we took a first bite of the food. I ordered a shrimp (Indonesischen?or Singaporean?) fried rice kind of thing. It was super delicious(though it looks nothing special) and I would say it’s the most delicious food I had ever had in a restaurant. Both of us were just amazed and we discussed the food during and even after the meal. Big size, humble look, extremely tasty. Hidden gem obviously. I will definitely come back again and bring...

A great lunch! Indonesian-Singaporean style food. It's like Thai food, but it's not. That small pivot toward Indian food makes it exciting! A little rougher, a little more exotic, a little more solid in your tummy. Both of our dishes tasted very fresh and clean with distinct flavors that melded together very well. We got the Singaporean Curry Noodles and Nasi Goreng. I am still thinking about that Nasi Goreng over 24 hours later!

Lime Tree's weirdly half underground location dissuaded me from going there for years, but when it's foggy in the Inner Sunset, what difference does it make? I've been so silly! I look forward to returning.

Great for lunch. Very affordable. Totally low key. Lots of UCSF employees at lunch.

Also, Lime Tree offers San Pellegrino Blood Orange soda. This drink is awesome and a bit hard to find still (though I am not sure it goes well with...

Deliciously dirt cheap. Yep!! I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place years ago. Until now, this has been one of my favorite go-to spots if I'm ever in the Inner Sunset area and I have a hankering for some of that good-good Indonesian food. I love their Mie Tek, Nasi Goreng fried rice, Martabak, etc. Overall, my experience here has never pushed me away but made me come back for more and try other things on their menu. I love that they offer specials not shown on their regular menu and you just easily walk-in, place your order with the cashier and wait until the food comes out. Not bad for quick service and a big serving of food. I'm always so stuffed and I can never finish my order of food. Definitely a hidden gem but not in this case. Looks like I'm not the only person who has left this place to its discovery!! Will I come back? Isn't it obvious? Of...
