10. Majikku Ramen
Reviewed By RFMATUTE
I have been to several Ramen restaurants but Majikku still tops all! I just order my fried tofu with fish flakes, gyoza and Tonkotsu Ramen . OMG ! I am in heaven. Everything just tastes so good..the tofu is crunchy outside and tender inside, the gyoza is different because the batter/wrap they make is very thin and practically melts in your mouth, and the ramen is simple with thinly sliced pork , bamboo shoots, half hard boiled egg, strips of some kind of mushroom, and the soup is a creamy broth. They also offer daily lunch specials. The prices are very reasonable. $8.95 for the ramen.This is my favorite place for my comfort food when I come and visit....every time ..2 thumbs up !!!
9. Chibog
Reviewed By mme1030
We saw this restaurant as we were driving through Daly City. Without having read the reviews nor heard from friends about it, we took the risk of dining in this restaurant. My sister even asked the server if they had many customers. We ordered sauteed vegetables with shrimp paste (pinakbet), pork ribs in sour broth (sinigang na baboy) and fried milkfish (daing na bangus). The dishes we ordered were all yummy, had real Filipino taste, and the servings were large. As I had been away from Manila for a month-long vacation, Chibog's food filled my craving for my own food. We went back again the following day for another dinner.

Good Chinese dim sum. Consistent. Parking is horrible though. Getting the usual foods like Phoenix's claws, spare ribs, shrimp crepe rolls, etc did not disappoint. The skin on the crepe roll is not the best, but it is good though. Phoenix claws were big and meaty. Spare ribs were a bit fatty, but had chunks of meat as well. Tea is also good. Service was quick and cordial.

Cute little restaurant with great service. A few beers to choose from and cold sake. Tea leaf salad was so fresh compared to other restaurants. Noodles and turmeric chicken fried rice were so good. Chicken curry was tasty too. Great place with reasonable prices.

Chinese Dim Sum and Seafood restaurant. We're only one in the bay area served all day dim sum, over 100 different items. Fresh and hand made, cooks when you order. Steamed seafood at the dinner time, served live lobster, crab, geoduck and sea clam.

Eight adults came for dinner on a Monday night. We asked for a quiet table so we could talk but were placed next to children playing very loudly. Thankfully they left after packing up their leftovers. All guests were seated in central area outside kitchen.The waiter that served us could barely speak English. So I ended up translating for my host in Cantonese.Since this is a seafood place, we tried to order seafood. Our host went to check on the "Fresh fish in the tank" but they looked pathetic and listless, so we skipped that. The waiter kept pushing river prawns as special of the day, how it was $25 here but the store was selling them at $28! My host wanted wasabi prawns, which they do not cook. We compromised on salt and pepper prawns but the taste and texture were mediocre, not fresh.We wanted to order scallops with asparagus- a fairly common dish. They only had scallops in the shell at $10 per piece so we skipped that.The Peking duck (skin and drum sticks) was good, as was the side dish( rest of duck with tofu. The beef with mix of mushrooms was ok, too thickly covered with caramelized hoisin sauce. To miao or young pea shoots were not young or tender but they were cooked nicely with a little garlic.The soup with real crab meat was a disappointment, it had something crunchy in it we could not quite identify. And as soon as it cooled down a little it tasted very fishy!I was someone's guest so no complains from me there and then but I would not consider this a good seafood restaurant.

A dozen of us celebrated a little one's first birthday at this excellent emporium of edible Asian specialties. All the food was visually beautiful, but particularly the sushi and dim sum items. We enjoyed making a circuit of the buffet bars to inspect offerings before committing to choices on the plate.

I had some misgivings about this place when I agreed to come with a bunch of my wife's friends for lunch. This is a huge place that easily accommodated our group of 10 people. The food is all served buffet style, and the selection has to be seen to be believed. We started with sushi and some dim sum dumplings before moving on to shrimp (several different kinds), chicken (ditto), and noodles (ditto again). You get the picture.Frankly, I found most of the dishes mediocre. The pot stickers, for example, were doughy and suffered from sitting around on the steam table. This is a very popular place for lunch, particularly among the elder component of the population. Lots of gray hair.The table service, consisting of water, tea, and cleanup, was superb. I discovered more tea in my cup without asking and wondered when that happened.The price of this feast is certainly reasonable. Each share came to $18, complete with tip, after rounding up. Not bad for enough to last for quite a while.So long as you know what to expect, you'll enjoy this place.

The place is a bit hidden from the main Lake Merced Blvd. It is behind a parking lot.Nice and clean entrance. The food was OK. I have tried many other Thai-like restaurants and I think the flavor could be much better. There is a lot of room for growth.Prices are OK as well.

As always the place is like a zoo. As soon as it opens, a lot of people are already waiting. Unless you know someone inside which a lot of patrons do, they get special treatments and bypass the long line which makes waiting even longer and UNFAIR. I donât like coming because of that. Luckily we have a friend that knows someone inside. Food is still good. Worth coming (if youâre patient!), but waiting for 2 hours, youâd be the judge and find out. Service is HORRIBLE! Getting someoneâs attention is another big problem. Getting your request fulfilled is another matter that the management needs to improve upon. Donât hold your breath, it wonât improve. When requesting a glass of water plus other things, a lot of times the waiters walk away without listening to your entire sentences, thus, you end up requesting multiple times. Donât come here if youâre not patient.
