1 pound bite size end cuts of pork ribs served with side of bbq sauce. $8.99
Big E Ales, Lynnwood WA
Hmm, these were really tough and dry. I guess I appreciated that they were on the lean side, but that also meant they lacked flavor and moisture. Not my favorite.
Pork belly, spinach, chives, nori, bean sprouts, sliced red peppers. Added kakuni and boiled egg. $12.50
Pao Jao Dumpling & Ramen, San Francisco CA
This place was new to me at the International lunch place off Kearny Street. I liked the overall flavor of the dish, and I though that their pork belly was really tender and delicious (mostly because it was so fatty, mmm…). I thought their boiled eggs was weirdly shaped thought. It was like they boiled them all together, jamming them into a bot so they became misshapen.
All-white chicken, cream cheese, mild green chiles, onions and spices hand-rolled in a soft flour tortilla, then deep-fried to golden perfection. Includes a 22 oz drink and small Mexi-Fries.
Taco Time, Seattle WA
Mmm, these chicken crisp burritos are also on my Seattle cravings list for when I visit. They’re so bad for you, but they taste SO good especially when dipped in their yummy salsa.
Boneless cuts of tender chicken breast with homestyle breading. Served with ranch dressing. $7.59
Big E Ales, Lynnwood WA
These weren’t all that special and they were actually kinda hard and dry. The breading tasted good though and definitely tasted better with dipped in the ranch. I’m not sure I could differentiate these from frozen.
Grilled lemongrass Kurobuta pork, pate de campagne, mortadella, fried egg garlic mayo, shaved onion, pickled carrot and daikon, cucumber, jalapenos, cilantro. $7.50
Bun Mee, San Francisco CA
This is the closest Vietnamese sandwich place to my office. They’re pretty good, but definitely not as cheap or tasty as Saigon Sandwich.
6 oz beef patty with balsamic peppers and onions, blue cheese, tomato, and sweet and fire bbq sauce. $7.99
Buckhorn Grill, San Francisco CA
The description of this burger looked much more interesting than how it arrived. This burger was pretty small and only had a small amount of toppings besides the tomato. Pretty lame if you ask me.
Shoyu tare, corn, chasu, soy-cured egg. $13
The Ramen Bar, San Francisco CA
This ramen was delicious! I loved the cured egg and the pork was so tasty. The noodles were also perfect and the broth (this time around) wasn’t overly salty.
Served with macaroni salad and brown rice. $7.04
L&L Hawaiian Barbecue, San Francisco CA
Wow, haven’t had L&L in a while but I was kinda craving their macaroni salad. Their meats tend to run on the salty side, but I guess that’s what the rice and pasta are for – to help absorb all the salt and grease.
Caterpillar roll: shrimp tempura, sliced avocado on top. Crunch California roll: tempura crunch, crab salad, avocado, cucumber. Served with side salad an miso soup. Wednesday Daily Special $10.99
Tokyo Express, San Francisco CA
Again, not the best sushi, but it does the trick for a quick and relatively cheap (for SF FiDi) lunch.
6 oz patty with onion rings, queso, and pickled jalapenos. Served with tater tots during lunch. $11
WesBurger ‘N’ More, San Francisco CA
Um, this burger was frickin’ awesome! I loved all the toppings and the beef patty was so juicy and flavorful. The tots were also great I loved their dipping sauce options. Noms – must remember to come back!
Brown rice with lamb meatballs, chickpeas, cauliflower, avocado, New Dehli slaw, cilantro, masala chutney, and cucumber raita. $10.10
Bamboo Asia, San Francisco CA
This bowl had a lot of everything! And I’m not sure everything taste great together. It could have benefited from a little editing in the toppings department. It was very filling though!
Marinated beef, sauteed onion and peppers, cheese, arugula, pickled veggies. $11
Anzu To You, San Francisco CA
Omg, this sandwich was kinda pretty amazing! The beef was delicious, the topping great, and the sauces tasty. I need another! 🙂
