Beef budae jjigae - Nolboo Kitchen
Spicy sausage stew. ₩22,000
Nolboo Kitchen, Seoul SOUTH KOREA

I don’t even know what all was in this stew, but it certainly was delicious! There was fatty beef, different kinds of sausages, dumplings, beans, different noodles, and vegetables. It wasn’t overly spicy – just enough to keep me want to go back for more! It was definitely an experience to try to order this from our waitress, lol. And then it was fun to see the dish cook and come together. Noms!

Curry laksa - Betelnut Restaurant
Chicken, prawns, tofu, lo mein noodle, mint, basil. $14.50

Meh, I wasn’t too impressed with this laksa. It seemed a little watered down to me. I wish there was more depth of flavor and a kick to it.

I liked this chowder. It was thick and yummy and there was a decent amount of clams in there. The Lockspot’s location right next to the Ballard Locks is also really nice!

Miso soup - Ebisu
$2.50
Ebisu, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)

Ugh, this soup was scalding, super salty, and lacked a rich miso flavor. Perhaps the saltiness over-powered everything else. I didn’t much like it.

Hokkaido ramen - The Ramen Bar
Spicy yasai miso tare, corn, garlic butter, pork belly, soy-cured egg. $14
The Ramen Bar, San Francisco CA

This broth was SUPER salty! Omg, I almost couldn’t finish it because of the high salt level. I liked the overall flavors though and the ramen noodles were nicely firm. The egg was beautifully cooked, and the pork belly was delicious.

Creamy Boston clam chowder - Sinbad's Pier 2 Restaurant
Bowl $9.75
Sinbad’s Pier 2 Restaurant, San Francisco CA

This was decent, but not very memorable. It had a nice creamy texture but there was nothing special about it to set it apart from other clam chowders in the city.

New England clam chowda - Lobsta Truck
Cup $5
Lobsta Truck, San Francisco CA

This cup was very small, but the chowder was rich and creamy. I liked it enough but thought it was overpriced for the tiny amount.

Tender beef stew - Little Paris
With tendon, carrot, onion, cilantro. $5.50
Little Paris, San Francisco CA

This soup was really tasty! I didn’t know that there were different sizes so I would have ordered the large bowl. The broth was rich and everything was warm and hearty, and the cilantro was a refreshing garnish.

This soup was warm and comforting. I wish it was a little spicier though and the chicken breast slices weren’t as flavorful as a like.

Ajisen best combo ramen - Ajisen Ramen
Tender pork ribs, premium pork, bbq pork. $10.75
Ajisen Ramen, San Francisco CA

Omg, this was SO salty! I liked the flavors I guess, but it was very difficult to taste much of anything past the salt. The meat was also dry. I definitely wouldn’t order this again.

This was OK. The crab meat was labeled “fresh” on the menu, but it didn’t taste very fresh to me.

Clam chowder - Fog Harbor Fish House
Cup $6
Fog Harbor Fish House, San Francisco CA

Mmm, this chowder was very tasty! It isn’t the best version in San Francisco, but it’s pretty damn tasty especially for a restaurant in the tourist trap that is Pier 39. I would definitely order this again if I was at the Pier.
