Le Colonial in San Francisco

This is not typical Vietnamese restaurant experience. The place is beautiful, classy and fancy. Service was wonderful. And most of all, food was amazing!!! This is Banh Cuon: steamed chicken wrap in light fish sauce with lots of yummy herbs. So good! And I highly recommend their chicken noodle soup.

Sushi Toni, in the Heart of San Francisco

I was impressed with the fact that Japanese speaking customers were the main in this restaurant. 4 stars of 5. It was really funny that they were playing 50's hits... Very good midi soup too.

So surprised that this little place serves only organic beef...
I'm so happy that I found another hole in the wall!
