On a recent excursion to San Francisco my family stopped by a little restaurant for lunch that was recommended to us from some family friends. The street that the restaurant was on was not that pretty and the door to place had some old graffiti on it. Ignoring the slightly deterring graffiti, we went inside and found that inside the place it was very clean, light and calming. We sat ourselves and a waiter quickly came to give us water and the menus. The menu consisted of lots of the regular dishes that you would find at a Chinese restaurant such as chow mien like things and broccoli beef. The menu also had a a great deals in the lunch special section. The waiter came back and took our orders after recommending some dishes to my dad.We all ordered different dished with the intent to share. I ordered a dish from the lunch special: Red curry with chicken, shrimp and veggies. I think it was number 19 on the menu. As part of the lunch special we got a little bowl of hot and sour miso soup as an appetizer. It had tofu and some kind of shredded chicken in it and the broth was so thick that it was almost like a syrup. Though the consistency of the broth was weird it was actually really good! The tofu in the soup was cooked perfectly. After we were done with the soup the waiter brought us our lunch. I was handed a HUGE bowl of the curry and a large plate of rice. The curry was so good! It was flavorful, the chicken and the shrimp tasted so good covered in it. There was also eggplant in it, which I personally thought was kinda weird but its texture went well with the curry and rice. The curry also had a little bit of a kick to it. I personally don't really like spicy food, but the curry was mild enough for me to really enjoy it. Caused me to drink a lot
water! Everyone really enjoyed their own dishes as well.
I don't remember the name of the place at the moment and I'll post it as soon as I do! I can tell you though it was a very short walk from the De Young museum.
