Golden fried bags filled with chicken, shrimp, chestnut, corn and vermicelli noodles. Thai-style vegetable egg rolls served with sweet and sour sauce. Krua appetizer sampler, $11
Krua Thai, San Francisco
The gold bags were so cute! Alan told me that they tie them closed with vermicelli noodles and they shrivel up once they’re deep fried. Ingenious! This is pretty much the same appetizer served two different ways – in bags and in rolls. They were both very tasty!
Filled with minced chicken, corn, onions, potatoes, and yellow curry powder coated with wheat flour. Served with sweet and sour sauce. Krua appetizer sampler, $11
Krua Thai, San Francisco
These didn’t have a very strong curry flavor which was a little disappointing, but I loved the texture of them. I wish the appetizer sampler came with more than just two samosas! I know, I’m a pig. Hehe!
Singha beer. $5
Regular 7″ cheesesteak made with Masami Farms American kobe beef with fried onions, white American cheese, and hot peppers on an Amoroso roll. $6.95
Phat Philly, San Francisco
I love the cheesesteaks at Phat Philly. They use amazing ingredients and even ship the Amoroso rolls from Philadelphia! Now that’s the way to make a cheesesteak! The beef is so tender and perfectly seasoned. They have a toppings bar so I always add some hot peppers to my sandwich. They add a little bite and extra flavor. Noms!
Half order of criss-cut waffle fries topped with Phat Philly’s Famous Cheddar Beer Sauce made with Newcastle Beer. $3
Phat Philly, San Francisco
Phat Philly is a guilty pleasure of mine. I pass by the place every day on way to Bart and it tempts me every time. I love these fries! The waffle fries are great by themselves, but the cheddar beer sauce puts it over the top! So good!
1/2 sandwich with mortadella, salami, provolone cheese, sundried tomatoes, lettuce, garlic, and pepperocinis on a wheat bun. 1/2 sandwich 1/2 soup combo, $5.95
Luigi’s Sandwich Palace, South San Francisco
Omg, for 1/2 a sandwich this was HUGE and tasty! I loved the combination of mortadella, salami and provolone. The sundried tomatoes and pepperocinis added lots of flavor. I wasn’t blown away by this sandwich but it was simple and delicious. Can’t complain about that!
A great hearty soup with large chunks of steak, potatoes, celery and carrots. This was their soup of the day so it’s not always be available, but I’m glad I got it since I was very hungry that day, hehe. 1/2 sandwich 1/2 soup combo, $5.95
Luigi’s Sandwich Palace, South San Francisco
Pisco punch – Pisco Barsol, fresh lime, pineapple arabic gomme. $9
Medjool, San Francisco
Sorry for the horrible pics – it was pretty late and the lounge was poorly lit. The drinks were tasty though!
Medjool rye Manhattan – Old Overholt rye whiskey, Dubonnet, Angostura bitters. $9
With uni butter and baby beets. $15
Nombe, San Francisco
Omg, this was such a rich dish! And perhaps, not in a good way. The uni butter, while delicious, was SO heavy. There’s not a lot of it on the plate, but it completely overpowered everything else. To be fair the beets were delicious and the scallops were cooked well.
This dinner was very disappointing. The service was horrendous and the timing between dishes was atrocious! The food was just ok overall and not really worth the price. I don’t think I’ll go back.
It was very dark in the restaurant and halfway through, they decided to turn the lights even lower. Therefore, I wasn’t able to photograph everything but here are the remaining pics I was able to snap before it the darkness made it impossible to take more.
Grilled Kurobuta pork belly, mizuna, jicama, yuzo kosho dressing. $10
This was the best dish of the night (although it’s very hard to see, lol). The meat was tender, flavorful and perfectly cooked. I also loved the mizuna salad on the side!
Persimmon cosmo shochu cocktail. $5 happy hour
This was ok. I’m glad it was discounted for happy hour otherwise I would have been more disappointed.
Nipponito – mint, lime, rice shochu. $8
Very sour!
“Thin sliced pork, marinated and sizzled on the grill. If it ain’t sizzled it just ain’t right! A tasty favorite here at Hahn’s! Our pork fans go crazy over this dish. Used by Pork Phobic Group Therapy facilitators to show those folks that have an irrational fear of pork that pork is good, pork is friendly, and pork is tasty! Nice Pork!” Served with steamed rice, fresh cucumber salad, kim chee and sprouts. $10.50
Hahn’s Hibachi, San Francisco
Although the menu description is a bit ridiculous, this huge pile of meat is pretty tasty! I have no idea what the brown sauce is that they ladle on top of the bbq pork, but it’s pretty good. I guess you can’t go wrong with gravy. I also love the pickled cucumbers that comes with the dish. The pork is sliced pretty thin so it’s very tender and has a great smokey flavor. When you see this on the menu, don’t expect it cooked bulgogi-style!
Fresh jalapenos stuffed with marinated steak and tempura fried. Garnished with parsley and served with soy based dipping sauce. $9.95
Hahn’s Hibachi, San Francisco
Omg, I love this appetizer! The combination of the salty beef stuffed inside the jalapeno, the hot crispy tempura outside, and the salty sour dipping sauce is absolutely delicious! You get quite a few, which is good because $9.95 is a bit high for an appetizer at a casual place like this. These are worth it!
8 pieces snow crab, avocado roll topped with tuna, salmon, ebi, hamachi, tai and avocado. $11.95
Kama Sushi, San Francisco
The rainbow roll is perfect for the indecisive person like me because you essentially get an assortment of sashimi on top of a California roll. Yay! The fish quality at Kama was great and the services was very friendly and attentive. Went there for happy hour and will definitely return!
Complimentary edamame.
6 pieces yellowtail and cucumber roll with toasted sesame. $4.50 happy hour
Kama Sushi, San Francisco
Wow, I loved these delicious bites! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a spicy hamachi roll on a sushi menu, and while these weren’t at all spicy, they were very tasty. And you can’t beat the happy hour price! I enjoyed that the hamachi wasn’t chopped to a pulp – they still had a great solid texture. Noms!
Rainbow roll and spicy hamachi roll.
