Smoked chicken nuggets – Southpaw BBQ

Smoked chicken nuggets - Southpaw BBQ
Happy hour $7
Southpaw BBQ, San Francisco CA

These were great! They were very smoky and tender, and they gave you a good amount of them. The dipping sauce served with it was yummy but I also tried all their other sauce too. I will definitely come back here and to try their other meats.

Bangkok roti – Osha Thai

Bangkok roti - Osha Thai
Green curry with flank beef, Thai eggplant and red bell pepper, served with roti. $19
Osha Thai, San Francisco CA

This tasted good, but definitely overpriced for lunch. I liked the eggplant, but all the vegetables were barely cooked. The beef was also a bit tough. I definitely think that they should have provided more roti for the curry. And the roti were super greasy too (so maybe I wouldn’t want more).

Fried calamari – Jersey

Fried calamari - Jersey
Jalapeno, lemon, marinara. $10
Jersey, San Francisco CA

These were really limp, soggy and greasy. I did not like them at all. The grease just kind of lingered and the thick and rich aioli just made it worse. And they never provided the marinara sauce that was listed on the menu. That would have at least helped with the greasiness.

Kimchi balls – Kokio Republic

Kimchi balls - Kokio Republic
Kimchi fried rice balls with bacon, sauteed onions, topped with fried kimchi, parmesan cheese, creamy sriracha, sour cream, and parsley. Combo $12.75
Kokio Republic, San Francisco CA

Wow, these balls just slapped you in the face with flavor! And the kimchi flavor definitely lingered (some mouthwash was definitely needed). These balls were so fun, comforting, and delicious.

Dungeness crab fritters – Restaurant Lulu

Dungeness crab fritters - Restaurant Lulu
Lime creme fraiche, pickled peppers. $8.50
Restaurant Lulu, San Francisco CA

Haha! This was a frickin’ joke! I thought this was literally a joke when they brought this out. It’s the smallest little button fritters I’ve ever seen and they bring it out with oversized serving utensils to make them look even smaller! The slivers of pickled peppers were larger than these sad fried lumps. #FAIL
