Restaurant Cassis
2101 Sutter Street (at Steiner)
415-440-4500
Woohoo! Cassis has extended their Prix Fixe Early Bird hours this summer, so from 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm Sunday through Thursday (they’re closed Mondays), you can enjoy their French cuisine for $25 per person. It usually ends at 6:30 pm.
True, this is a big jump from the usual Grubgirl price range, however the value of what Cassis offers makes this a true bargain find.
Let’s dive right into the pros and cons:

San Wang
1682 Post Street
(between Buchanan St & Laguna St)
(415) 921-1453
I found this place looking for some non-Japanese food options near me and my buddy Sarah (who happens to live near Japantown). She was debuting (finally!) her new sweetie so we had to find a Grubgirl-appropriate venue so he could get what I was all about. (And I could see if he bristled at vinyl chairs.)
San Wang is a Chinese restaurant run by Koreans, so there are some dishes with a decidedly Korean flare.

Suzu Noodle House
1825 Post St (inside the J-town building)
(between Fillmore St & Webster St)
(415) 346-5083
After four hours, two glasses of warm water, and one hour “researching” on Yelp, I am still thinking about ramen. Suzu, what have you done to me? I finally went after Sarah had mentioned this place countless times as being a close, reliable place for some cozy hot broth and ramen noodles. Yes, many diehard Yelpers know about it, and it is quite controversial, depending if you know your ramen or not. I currently do not, and probably never will know what true homemade ramen noodle soup should taste like. But I’ve learned a few things:

Papalote Mexican Grill
1777 Fulton Street @ Masonic
San Francisco
415-776-0106
Papalote’s known for its fresh and healthy Mexican food. The original one (that I know of) is on 24th & Valencia. (Thanks to the resident ABM who took me there). Though that time I got a Mole Taco and felt it didn’t taste that authentic compared to the fare in Southern California, this time I ordered a basic Pollo Burrito with black beans and a spinach tortilla for $5.45.
