Chick peas in spiced tomato sauce. Char-grilled and marinated naturally-raised chicken in a spicy, creamy tomato sauce. Homestyle Indian platter with roti (handmade bread), slow-simmered daal (lentils), rice, veggie salad, chutneys and raita (yogurt). $11.95
Kasa Indian Eatery, San Francisco CA
Ugh, I don’t know why I also order the Thali plate. It’s SO much food! It is delicious though and satisfies my craving for flavorful Indian food. Mmm…
Japchae, lettuce, red cabbage, carrot, pickled radish, bean sprouts, grilled onion, finely sliced egg, and super spicy sauce. Served with soup. $9.50
BibimBar, San Francisco CA
This was really yummy and satisfying, but I completely underestimated the spiciness of their “super spicy” sauce. I ate it all, but my mouth was on fire for most of the duration. Next time I’ll opt for their medium spicy.
With pad thai. $9.99
Coriander Gourmet Thai, San Francisco CA
This was passable, not as real Thai food, but as a yummy and substantial lunch. I liked the large strips of chicken and the sauce was pretty good.
With garlic noodles, steamed broccoli, fish sauce. $9
Laksa, San Francisco CA
I liked the chicken more than the garlic noodles. The noodles were actually pretty bland which surprised me. Usually Vietnamese garlic noodles are packed with flavor.
$7.95
Lemonade, San Francisco CA
While I admit that this was tasty and really saucy (just how I like it), I will say that this small container of brisket is probably one the more over-priced items you can choose. They are pretty skimpy with the portion.
Chicken dumpling with sweet chili sauce, avocado roll, 1/2 shrimp cake and tartar sauce, spicy burdock salad, hijiki and soybean salad.
$12.25
Delica, San Francisco CA
I like these bentos because they’re quick and the items are of really good quality. They really need a grab’n’go hot bento though. I liked everything, but the burdock salad was probably my least favorite. It had an odd texture that didn’t quite agree with me.
Black bean puree, braised greens, chimichurri. $22
Reservoir, Palm Springs CA
I liked the chimichurri sauce with the skirt steak. It had great flavor and the steak was cooked nicely.
With pad thai. $9.74
Coriander Gourmet Thai, San Francisco CA
This is probably some of the worst Thai food in The City, but it’s also very Americanized and pleasantly familiar tasting. The chicken was dry as usual and the pad thai was bland, but it made for a filling lunch.
Pine nut cassoulet, sunchokes, yogurt curds. $28
Ink, Los Angeles CA
This lamb belly was wonderful! It pretty much melting in your mouth and tasted great! I was still full for the foie gras, but I dug deep and polished off this plate too. Noms! 🙂
Served with Spanish rice. $8
The Corner Deli, Palm Springs CA
Gross! This was probably the worst enchilada dish I’ve ever had (and that’s saying a lot)! All the textures and flavors were SO wrong. It tasted like crap and I wish I could erase this meal from my memory.
Ground lamb and peas over steamed rice. Lunch box $6
Mehfil Indian Cuisine, San Francisco CA
They don’t usual have this item for their lunch box special so I thought I’d try it out. It tasted pretty good and I’m hoping that it was one of the healthier items. It didn’t seem very fatty and the ground lamb didn’t feel fatty.
With extra chicken, brown rice, and hot curry. $11.65
Muracci’s Japanese Curry & Grill, San Francisco CA
Omg, I’ve been craving this lately, and I’m sure it’s not very healthy for you but chicken smothered in hot Japanese curry is the best! Hey, I ordered it with brown rice so that makes it healthier, right? LOL!
