They made new fans of me and I brought others who became new fans too Menu is simple. Get your burger (or salad!), fries or tots, and a soda! Simple enough right? Also really appreciate them offering $8 "the naked bird" if you want a protein+vegetable option without eating the bun! Which can make for a small light meal if you're on a diet Chicken is JUICY and batter is not too thick, done so well. Comes packed SO neatly in a nice looking bag with the wolf/dog logo! $0.25 for bag. Additional 4% SF mandates fee Cool little spot! with happy hour deals too!

But, I regret to inform the yelp community that it might be the worse chicken sandwich I've ever had! It almost had a cinnamon taste to it, the chicken was hard, and stringy. It also just tasted greasy! I also tried the biscuit tender mini sandwich, and that was worse! It was super tough, and inedible.....I literally took a couple of bites, and had these long pieces of membrane in the chicken that tasted like rubber... I also ordered the curly fries, and those were the best part of the meal. Maybe I just happened to come on an off day, but man I was bummed I spent 30 dollars for something that was inedible! I will say the staff were very friendly, and the place was kept very clean on a positive note.

Let me cut to the chase. I was kinda disappointed with this casual rotisserie chicken shop even…read morethough it comes from the team that owns Limon. In fact, I was quite forlorn having presumed this location of Limon was permanently closed. I liked the way they prepared their pollo à la brasa because the Peruvian-style chicken was consistently succulent. I'm guessing maintaining the quality and profitability of a sit-down restaurant has been economically challenging since this was not the only Limon that has closed. I was encouraged that they kept the space and reinvented it into more of a fast food/takeout operation replete with a cartoon chicken mascot and an animated mural along the northern side of the building. I came by in the middle of a weekday afternoon, so I wasn't ready to eat on the spot. I decided on a takeout order of the $21.95 Half Chicken Pollo à la Brasa with two sides. I think I overdid the starches and went with the Plantains and Yuca Fries. I only noticed afterward that I could've gotten salad or cole slaw instead. When I got home and started to eat, I was immediately disappointed that the chicken tasted overcooked with the breast piece particularly dry. That was too bad because the skin from the rotisserie had the familiar flavorful seasonings. The plantains were tasty albeit a bit oily, while I had to nuke the lukewarm yuca fries to bring them back to life (Photo 9). Next time, I'll time my arrival closer to lunch or dinner, so I can dine in-house. My hope is that the chicken will be closer to the quality level I recall from Limon. FOOD - 3 stars...sadly overcooked when I ate it at home AMBIANCE - 4 stars...the space itself is fine, much more casual SEEVICE - 3.5 stars...the staff was nice enough TOTAL - 3 stars...fast food version of Limon not quite there yet RELATED - Exploring the Mission?

so first off before I get into it, there's no seating (see picture for reference), and it's on the…read morecorner. there is a lil bodega across the way which is where we got some lemonades to wash everything down, and you order either online, by phone, or to the cashier (what we did). It took maybe 20 mins, which was perfect. now, it's show time. holy hell. my boyfriend RAVES about this place all the time, and we finally went as a pre-AYCE snack. it took all my strength to not change my mind to eat here instead. when I think of chicken wings, I think of 3 flavors on the spot: buffalo, lemon pepper, and garlic parm. never, in my big back days, did I think to combine buffalo with garlic-parm (in this case, garlic bacon parm). I couldn't even wrap my head around it before I ate it and while I was eating it. I have to confess that I don't even like buffalo, the tang and that feeling in the back of your mouth that makes you want to drink a full glass of water after? I always hated it. don't get me started on the color/the way it stains EVERYTHING. BUT THIS RIGHT HERE? screw my white shirt, I'll use it as a napkin for these wings. Serg idk who you are but you're my new hero. Plus the spice level? not crazy hot, maybe like hot cheetos level (the regular hot cheetos, but also the flavor is too good to care about the spice) Their ranch is also hella good, and I don't like ranch like that. This place is making me redact all my statements about foods I DON'T like. If that doesn't tell you enough, idk what will. we will 100000% be back for more than just a 5 piece. I might even wear a white shirt next time.

Ordered to-go, wings were delicious!…read more I tried the Mango Habanero, Buffalo, and Lemon Pepper. Mango Hab was my ABSOLUTE favorite -- loved the sweet & spicy combo. The wings were so juicy and delicious. They have so many flavors, so definitely want to try some of the other options soon :)

You do sit yourself here and serve your own water but we didn't mind that. Their sauce menu list was extensive and all the options sounded so good but you can only pick one (additional sauces are an extra cost). I ended up going with the chimichurri sauce and it was divine. I would definitely come back here.

Our friend who lives local recommended this restaurant, and we really enjoyed it!…read more The rice was sooooo flavorful and soft! The chicken was tender. Veggies were fresh and crisp! And the garlic aioli was the perfect sauce to accompany the bowl (though the chimichurri sounded good too!!) I will say, there was a small bone in one of my chicken, which I was fortunate to not choke on. And we thought they were a little stingy with the garlic aioli :(

So we finally got here! The line was long, but honestly the wait wasn't bad at all -- probably only…read morearound 30 minutes considering how far down we were on the waitlist. Once they started calling tables, it moved really fast. When we were seated, we ended up sharing a table with two other groups of two. I actually didn't mind it at all because there was still enough space between everyone to have privacy. It also made the experience feel more social -- I ended up chatting with the people to my right and left about the food. Everything we ordered was really good. Their popular dry fried chicken absolutely lived up to the hype and was probably my favorite thing on the menu... besides the cherry pork. I feel like nobody talks about the cherry pork enough! It was SO good -- kind of like a sweet-and-sour pork without the sour. I dipped it in soy sauce because I loved the sweet and salty combo together. The dumplings were also really good. The wrapper was thin and delicious, but my boyfriend said he wished they had a little more protein filling and less leek. The green beans are always a hit. The only thing I probably wouldn't order again was the black bean sauce noodles. Maybe I just expected a different flavor, but to me they honestly tasted like regular lo mein. I'm also not a huge noodle person in general, so I'd probably skip them next time and order something else instead. Forgot to mention their prices are on point! Definitely recommend to any of the tourists. I think the weight is definitely worth it and I love being able to take home my leftovers and eating them for lunch and dinner the next day.

Settling into SF and trying as many neighborhood staples as possible, and San Tung absolutely feels…read morelike one of those classic spots that's been getting it right for a long time. The place was packed at lunch, which is usually the best sign, but turnover was quick and I was seated faster than expected. The lunch special is a solid value with soup, rice, and an entree included. Started with the hot and sour soup which had good balance and depth without being overly thick or aggressive on the vinegar. The dry fried beef was tasty. Great texture, nicely cooked, layered flavor, and the kind of dish that keeps you reaching back in even after you're full. Service was efficient, food came out quickly, and the whole place has that old school neighborhood energy that makes you understand why it stays busy. Not trying to reinvent anything, just executing the classics well.

Stopped by K Soul Kitchen and got the sausage mozzarella Korean corn dog with potato and ketchup on…read morethe side. The spot itself is pretty small, more of a quick grab-and-go kind of place rather than somewhere you sit and stay for long, but it works for what it is. Service was quick and the food came out fast, which I really appreciated. The corn dog itself was good, crispy outside, nice savory sausage, and the potato coating added a fun texture. The only thing I'd say is I wish there was more cheese pull/more cheese inside, because that would've taken it to the next level. I can't really compare it to others since it was my first Korean corn dog, but overall I still enjoyed it and would come back to try more items.

Rooster & Rice is a chain with multiple locations serving up Khao Mun Gai (or Thai style chicken…read morerice), but my most recent order with them really fell flat. I ordered "The Original" with jasmine chicken rice, extra cilantro, cucumber, chicken skin (love that those are free add-ons), and an egg, and while the bowl was fine, all of the flavors felt like they could've been amped up several notches as everything leaned pretty bland and one note. I even swapped in the ginger scallion sauce, usually my favorite with Hainanese chicken, but it still fell flat and didn't bring the dish together the way I'd hoped. The dark meat was okay, if under-seasoned, but the breast meat was honestly pretty rough as it was extremely dry to the point where I was chasing each bite with water just to get it down. I added the chicken spring rolls as well, which were poorly wrapped and fell apart after a single bite, and they used the same overcooked white meat, making them basically inedible. If this is the standard for their white meat, I really think they should either stick to dark meat or make it clear that dark meat is an option without an upcharge. That said, my order was ready right when I expected it to be, pickup was smooth, and the staff were very nice and friendly, which keeps this from dropping lower in rating as I'm likewise hoping this was just an off night.

Love Burn is chicken based, and the other is a burger spot. Order at the small counter and you wait outside. I ordered the chicken tenders and fries. After about 7 min, you get your order. It's a good sized portion... three large breast pieces and crispy fries. I got the Level 1 spice, which was just right, and the House Sauce for dipping. The sauce is like Raising Canes-style. The chicken is nice and moist, with lots of flavor. I'd definitely pickup again. The sidewalk where you wait isn't very nice... smells like a sewer and weed. But the food is worth the wait.

The wings were spicy and a bit painful to eat, but it wasn't too bad where it was inedible. I don't think I would ever get level 4 though unless it's just for bragging rights saying that I tried it because I know it'll probably taste horrible and the spice will be intolerable! I thought their chicken sandwich was very crunchy and it was huge! I shared it with my husband, but it didn't really wow me nor do I have cravings to go back. We got there in the morning and it was basically dead. No one else was there and the bowling alley was closed, which added more to the emptiness. No parking lot, only street parking, but we found a spot right away at the nearby residential homes.

The Bird is a solid go-to chain spot with two convenient SF locations in SoMa and Hayes Valley, and…read moreI love their partnership with Super Duper since it means you can mix and match from either menu anywhere they operate. Service is somewhat non-existent as you can only order from a kiosk, which I find a bit odd i.e. to not offer counter ordering whatsoever and ambience is very much fast casual. The main get here is the spicy fried chicken sandwich, which delivers a nice mild-to-medium heat balanced against tasty slaw and pickles. The bun strikes just the right thickness (I hate when the bread to filling ratio is way off in either direction) as it is sturdy enough to hold everything together without falling apart mid-bite. I'd love if they cranked up the spice a notch, but that's obviously specific to the individual. On my latest visit, I also tried the lemon pepper chicken tenders, which were a letdown and would not recommend. They had basically no seasoning (zero lemon pepper flavor but also barely any salt or pepper) and were also a bit over fried. The curly fries and tots are standard issue, nothing fancy but the mango habanero sauce was just weird as it was oddly not sweet or spicy, with an unpleasant vinegar-like consistency that I tried once and never went back for. Overall, it's a reliable stop if you're in the mood for some no frills spicy chicken sando and side spuds.
