obi_ant posted:Mission (like burritos) No need really if you've had a california burrito from Senor Sisig. Unless you want a worse burrito experience than the divine combination of french fries and filipino pork. edit: I had a pancho villa burrito today that was definitely not as great as it could be. Like, I've had better burritos there this week.

Speaking of stars the new Michelin guide is out and apparently Saison had to surrender a star to a restaurant in *checks notes* Sacramento???

Ranter posted:Mr. Jius is high end with some fusion/modernity to it. Good cocktails. If you go here PM me I'll see if I can get you VIP treatment. I went a week ago for my birthday, it was pretty good - turnip cakes and steak rice were definitely highlights. The second floor lounge is amazing, definitely check it out if you go.

Carillon posted:Went to Mister Jiu's for my girlfriend's birthday thanks to this thread. She loved it! Thanks all for the recommendation. Highlights were definitely mapo tofu, egg drop, and the steak fried rice. The mapo was very good, reminded me of a more classic approach but the silken tofu 'block' was a nice touch. The egg drop really comes across as corn soup with egg drop on top, but still really good, I loved the squash blossom they floated on it. Lastly the steak fried rice was rich without being heavy, the heart really added some great flavor and richness. The dutch crunch bao really aren't worth it. I loved the sea urchin cheong fun which was probably the highlight of the meal for me. My partner and I also liked the turnip cake and the steak rice was amazing.

Regular Al Pastor from El Castillito on church is the best mission burrito in my book. Senor Sisig for California burritos.

Ranter posted:Can you expand on what makes it meh, why one is better than the other, what makes them all meh technically? Not saying this is the case here, but we've had people claim that SF doesnt have good pizza like NYC and it seemed like nostalgic bullshit. I wanna know the real differences! It's just not the mind-blowing good pork shoulder BBQ i'm used to from NC. AFAICT SF's BBQ situation is dependent on there not being a big tradition of BBQ here, compared to the south, and when you do find it it's tri-tip. Don't get me wrong, tri-tip is amazing but it's not texas brisket or whole-hog pork. It probably also doesn't help that labor costs are high and I imagine permitting for a smoker is a nightmare in the city. BBQ places here also don't seem to be focused enough on delivering one style, but cater to transplants - i've seen joints have multiple styles of sauce. No place in the south would have lexington-style sauce, eastern NC vinegar-based sauce, SC mustard style and alabama mayo-based all in the same restaurant. Also pizza here is pretty mediocre across the board.

My friends run a coffee roastery in the sunset and the air quality regs were pretty insane to deal with when they put in their new roaster. Apparently it has an afterburner to clean up the emissions

What are some good sushi spots around the mission/castro? So far I've been disappointed by sushi time, warakabune and we be sushi. Eiji is ok but service is a bit slow.

MAKE NO BABBYS posted:Ichi if you want to drop some serious money. I haven't been in a few years though and went with a BF that was a famous chef so they were for sure pulling out all the stops. Hamano is more Noe Valley but is FANTASTIC, either at a table or the omakase counter, also very weirdly cheap. It looks like a tourist trap from the outside but that's because Saison's former sushi guy bought a 35+ year old joint and changed all the food but not the decor. We Be Sushi is not good but as an SF native I have a lot of nostalgia for it and the lunch specials are a good bargain. Shizen is quite good if you're into vegan/veggie food. I like it much more than Cha-Ya's vegan sushi. Bon, Nene may not be what you're looking for, but it's a French/Japanese fusion and was at one point Michelin rec'd, but not starred. It's interesting and has nice breakfast. Also, Mission and 23rd is where Sun Fat is located and it's the only place I'll buy fish or shellfish to cook at home. Also, it's definitely the supplier for many restos in the area. If you're nice, they will sell you lots of fun treats as well. I really like their packaged seaweed salad they make in house. One time, one of the ladies I'd made friends with brought me out a cup of hot clam broth (much like they serve at Old Clam House) to sip on while I shopped. If you're closer to Zeitgeist, Izakaya Rintaro was good and I like the booth seating they have, kinda like little horse stalls. Might be not the neighborhood you're looking for, but Ijji on Divis is also very good. Sorry if that is too much. I've worked in/run/consulted in restaurants for almost 20 years so food is my partner & I's passion. I like talking about it. Thanks for all the recs! I'm right by the Dolores cathedral so some of it is a trek. I've heard good things about Shizen from my vegan friends but usually a wait from what I can tell and will probably check it out since my partner doesn't do fish. I've been to Rintaro's pop-up yakitori and loved it, we keep meaning to try their real menu. My partner used to work in coffee and we keep in touch with her industry friends, but we're both not missing the 4am wake-up because PG&E decided to shut off power to block and lose temp for a weeks worth of dairy and pastry prep.

Mozzeria is a block down from me and we just started getting pizza from there. Picking up from them reminds me of being a monitor mixer at a concert - lot of hand signals. I like their salumi and margherita but delfina has a better salsiccia pizza.

I wouldn’t have noticed unless Yelp threw up a big warning when we considered going there to check their menu. But looking on the city’s website they improved from 70 to 71 on last inspection and seem to have long running temp and vermin issues. I get that a restaurant or inspector can have a bad day but they don’t seem to care hugely?
