This is hands down the best place to stuff your face =]
(I could be a slogan writer)
Any chain Chinese restaurant can make chicken chow mien or beef broccoli, but none of them order for you like the House of Nanking, I went there and shoveled the food like I was in the military and didn't have another second. After eating so much and leaving I thought I couldn't eat at another Chinese restaurant again and I didn't not for almost 4 months.
Yes its a little dirty with the mass of people in and out you dont have time to clean everything when people are hungry, yes they order for you its part of the excitement and shock if you have never been, and if there is a line out the door it means the food is damn good and if you leave your missing out on something special.. people need to understand this is a gold mine in the middle of San Francisco...
the truth is you either love it or hate it but it is a food place and thats what I go there to do is eat. So i could careless if there is a little dirt on the ground or crowded at least I'm not eating out of a garbage can.
Pros: Everything
Cons: the idiots who don't appreciate a mom-and-pop restaurant !

Sought this place out with my sister, who'd been before and knew about getting there before 5:30. Absolutely true. We got right in, and watched a horde form outside our window table. The food was stupendous. Flavors and combinations unlike anything I've had anywhere. Service excellent and informative, friendly, energetic staff. The decor is gorgeous. Topnotch

This was my first visit, and the food was amazing! I particularly loved the Chicken Saagwala. The interior decorations were very nice and warm. Service was all right due to the fact that it was the waitress' first day on the job...but other than that, I highly recommend it!
Pros: Food, Ambience
Cons: Parking

Best god darn ribs and brisket I ever had! It is a little pricey, though, that is the only downside. I got the three item combo (ribs, chicken, brisket) and with a soda, it was around $20. I guess thats the price you have to pay for good bbq. All of their food has an authentic smokey flavor to it, and the meat has all been slow roasted to perfection.
Pros: Delicious
Cons: Pricey

If you think crepes can't fill you up you've never eaten here! The crepes are a meal in themselves. Add a small salad appetizer and an ice cream dessert and you'll need a wheelbarrow to leave! This a true gem in the heart of the mission. If you love crepes you'll love Ti Couz.
Pros: Food, service, atmosphere
Cons: parking

What a great place to eat! I was there on a Saturday night and really enjoyed the Jazz. I happen to be a Spumante fiend and truly enjoyed the Ca? del Bosco ?Brut? Franciacorta, Lombardia.
We started with the Iron Roasted Skillet Mussels and Ahi Tuna Tartare with Green Olive Tapenade & Grilled Ciabatta as appatisers. Then we had the Mixed Grill for Two, which is a wonderful combination of Tai Snapper, Calamari, Mussles and Whole Shrimp. Then for desert you cannot miss having the Brown Sugar Corn Cake with Blueberry Basil Sorbetto & Fresh Blueberries -- it was out of this world!
For really GREAT service please be sure to ask for Jen -- she really makes this place ROCK.
Pros: Too many to list
Cons: Jen does not work on Monday or Tuesday ;-)

Oh my goodness...I love their food and they definitely use a ton of garlic. The atmosphere is calm but their decorations are the wine holders with wax streaming down and garlic everywhere. It is really fun and they pasta and bread are amazing. The best is that it is in little Italy which is a really romantic spot so definitely go on a date. It is a little expensive but so worth it.

I was skeptical about ordering pizza because I had been to Gaspare's once before, and my entre was mediocre. I thought I would not return, but my buddy was in town and we wanted some pizza. I read some reviews that were mixed. We ordered a sausage and mushroom pizza with anchovies. The crust is a crispy thin perfection. Plenty of toppings with olive oil dizzled lightly on top. It's one of the best pizzas I've had. I may not go back for an entre, but when I want pizza I am only sorry that I didn't discover this place sooner. It rocks. Be prepared to wait, because Gaspare's has quite a loyal following . . . and now I know why.
Pros: The pizza is as good as Pizzetta 211
Cons: Busy, Entres are only OK

Everyone says to try the dry fried chicken, but that was not my favorite. Cherry Pork is the dish to try. It has cherry and ginger and the texture is perfect. We tried it on a lark and were pleasantly surprised. The dumplings and potstickers were excellent. We had peanut noodles as well which were delicious.
The prices are unbelievable, $8-$10 for a lot of dishes. They have lots of group seating with big tables and lazy susans. The place is PACKED, so be ready for a wait. We waited about 20 minutes on a Sunday night. Also, the clientele is almost entirely Chinese, which I always take as a good sign that the food is authentic.
Pros: Delicious, inexpensive, Fast
Cons: They try to rush you out a little bit, but only because there's always someone waiting to get in behind you

The Cheesecake factory lives up to it's name. Several choices of Cheesecake. And you get to look at all of them in the display case while you are waiting for a seat. This place is popular so be prepared to sign up, take your beeper and don't wander too far. I was able to get the beeper, go shopping for a pair of shoes at the men's Macys next block and return to Cheesecake factory in time to wait an additional half hour and it was not even busy dinner hour yet.
But I like the big portions of everything, like the burritios, and the mango madness drinks. Great desserts. Great salads and big too. The waitstaff is overworked but they are friendly. Also suggest sit outside when the whether is not too cold.
Pros: desserts, burgers, chicken, salad burritos
Cons: parking, waiting on line
