    The Latino
    KC W.

    I'm a creature of habit who's been trying to expand my sandwich horizons and only recently learned about PHD despite living in the area my whole life. I stopped by for a late weekday lunch and there were still a couple customers seated when I arrived but no one was in line, but it still took a few min before anyone acknowledged that I was there and waiting to order. It was nice tho that they brought completed orders to folks who were waiting outside instead of calling out names/numbers, and I liked that the sandwich meats were cooked to order so they were fresh (even if it meant waiting a little longer). I ordered the Latino on Dutch crunch and took it home to eat (~10 min walk). I was worried bc the menu listed the ingredients with chicken breast, but it was cooked well and not dry. It had a good balance of lettuce and pickles too. Unfortunately the bread wasn't crunchy :( and overall the sandwich was a bit salty for my taste and made me extra sleepy after I finished half lol. It was a hearty portion for the price though! There are a few counter seats inside and a couple table seats outside, but this definitely seems like more of a takeout spot. I'm confused about service bc other reviewers seem to have had a different experience than the standoffish experience that I had. While the portion and price are reasonable, this didn't wow me, and I'm a picky eater so there are only a couple other options on the menu that I'd eat, so I would probably stick to my usual neighborhood spots instead.

    PHD GREENS

    Really good deli off of Fillmore St. the sandwich was very big and filling and I love that all of their sandwiches come with "the works". I ordered the PHD greens sandwich which is one of their few vegetarian sandwich options. There's also a falafel wrap which I believe is vegan. I think this is a great affordable lunch spot in the area with quick service. There's cozy indoor seating and outdoor seating. I just wish there were more vegetarian and vegan options!

    The Big Burrito

    Lovely cafe! A hole in the wall amidst Pac Heights. Store has some popular smoothie choices, bagel sandwiches, and regular sandwiches. Order the big burrito ($14) which contains bacon, veggies, cheese, and potato wedges. Although breakfast ends at 12pm, it does seem they continue breakfast past the 12pm mark. Items are cooked to order, so it does take a couple minutes. I ate there and it also came with a small salad on the side. The breakfast burrito was really delicious, has an added some hot sauce for more flavor. Mixture of mushroom, bell peppers, and onions. The bacon was like thick bacon and had a good salty flavor. Very stuffed burrito. The staff was also helpful by helping me wrap and bag my leftovers.

    I've been to Pac Heights deli a couple times now and it's safe to say, I'm a fan! The first couple of times I got their tuna melt sandwich and it was delicious and something I'd order again and again. But when we were walking by we saw they added a chopped cheese sandwich to the menu, and I knew I had to try it. Safe to say, their chopped cheese sandwich alone is something I'd come for on a regular basis. A lot of spots have been taking their try at it, and it's been alright. Pac Heights deli does it right, and to me it's because it's simple with fresh quality meats and veggies. It comes on your choice of bread, I got sourdough, and I felt like it was the right choice. For $14, it's massive and easily enough for two meals. Highly recommend giving this a try if you fancy yourself a chopped cheese fan like myself. I also got their sausage breakfast sandwich on an English muffin, that was hella good too. Two sausage patties, plenty of melted cheese, very filling for a breakfast sandwich. I added some mayo at home and would recommend that to add a level of creaminess to the sandwich. The staff here is super friendly and even offered to give my dogs some turkey while we waited for our order outside of the storefront. The place itself is small, with a few places to sit inside but more so a place to takeout and eat at home or the park. They have an online ordering system, but if you have time, order in-person because it's slightly cheaper to do so.

    The Latino Sandwich
    Rachel K.

    We ordered 2 sandwiches to go. The Latino and Al's Special on the Dutch crunch bread. Both sandwich's were so tasty and big. Latino was juicy and fresh with crunchy veggies, Al's was more hearty with the pastrami. This would be a 5 star if the crunch bread was crunchy. Maybe since I got the sandwich to go, the bread got a little soft on the commute home. I'd be interested in going back and eating there in person.

    The Big Burrito
    Leilua L.

    Cute little sandwich spot with wonderful customer service. It was past noon but they still let us order a breakfast sandwich which I was super grateful for! The super burrito was a big and filling burrito. I got the pac heights classic sandwich with sausage and bacon and it was delicious. There's some seating inside and out and a bathroom. I would come here again for a breakfast sandwich for sure.

    Stopped in on Thanksgiving because I needed a quick bite after having a drink nearby to watch the Packers game. This place is the bomb. It's a New York x San Francisco deli feeling. The price is RIGHT! The owners were the nicest I split a sandwich with my partner and they brought it out all dressed up on two separate plates. The sandwich was BIG packed full, the lettuce is good romaine, not just some iceberg bs. The sourdough was great and fresh. The place is small but has one table and a cute little bar seating area that looks out towards the street. This place is just off of Fillmore and is 100% worth a stop in if you're craving a sandwich. They also have smoothies, coffees, and a large breakfast menu. It's family owned and operated, go support this place, it's a gem.

    Small, clean, and cute deli in Pacific Heights. I was instantly drawn to the wall where there's a Golden Gate Bridge wearing a chef's hat with "PHD" on it. Your girl here mistakenly read it as "PHO" thinking it's an American deli + Vietnamese noodles type of place. Then I'm like "PHD" oOoOohhhh. Got it. Haha. Very clever. I also like the scooter (or is that a moped?) Can't tell if it's decor or an employee decided that it's safer to park it inside. Anyhoo, it works. Owner seems like a nice guy. My hubby chatted with him while he was making our sandwich. We got the create your own pastrami sandwich here for my Hb and an Americano for me. We will be back to try other items. Located on California and Fillmore near all the cutesy expensive boutiques.

    The Al's Special Sandwich was delicious! The ingredients came together nicely to deliver a tasty sandwich and it was very filling. I look forward to trying more from Pac Heights Deli. Keep up the good work!

    If you're looking for a top notch coffee to pair with a delicious bagel sandwich you need to check out Pac Heights Deli. They have incredibly fast service and make an excellent latte. I always stop by here when In town. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Can't recommend them enough! There are tables inside which are great for coffee dates or quick lunch breaks.

    The California Sandwich- fresh veggies, generous size, and flavorful.

    I came across this deli on a walk through the neighborhood and decided to give it a try, I'm glad I did!! The California sandwich on dutch crunch bread was so good. The veggies were super fresh and the portion was generous! The photo doesn't show how big this sandwich was. The workers were very pleasant, great customer service. The inside of the shop is small, but they have a few tables outside as well.

    Absolutely incredible deli! I haven't stopped thinking about how delicious my sandwich was. It's rare to find a gluten-free deli, so I was thrilled to see they cater to those with celiac. I ordered the California Sandwich and it was beyond tasty, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. I'm already planning my next visit! Great service too, the staff treated us SO nicely. A million stars.

    Excellent service! My only advice is to come and see for yourself. When we called to ask about a…read morewait, they mentioned there was not wait... part of the reason they do that is because they don't keep a list. You either have reservations or you're a walk in and you stand in line until a table is available for you. At first this was strange, but I think it makes for a better experience. The team was incredible, they were so kind on a day that can be stressful for a small restaurant. We had incredible food. I was so happy to get my Eggs Royale and my husband said the French toast was the best he's ever had. (Even comparing it to French toast in Paris) No notes. This will be our Mother's Day place going forward next time with reservations.

    My partner and I decided to go to the city one weekend and decided we wanted brunch. After looking…read morethrough some place, we came across Sisterita and it looked very promising. It seems like this place is an asian fusion brunch place incorporating french dishes into thai/asian themed dishes which is up our alley. We made a reservation at 1:45 PM and we had to wait for about an extra 30 minutes before getting seated. Initially, I wanted to try their crab fried rice but unfortunately they were out of crab. We decided to get the Alcatraz Escape and the Brioche french toast which were recommended by the wait staff. The staff was generally friendly and accommodating but I can tell they were swamped and stressed out with all the people they were trying to serve. The food itself tasted decent, the Alcatraz Escape had a tasty flavor which incorporates tom yum paste (sweet, sour, tangy flavor) into their scramble with about 4 shrimps. The side of crispy chicken was good but nothing that stood out to us. The brioche was soft but there wasn't much flavoring besides the fruits and caramelized banana. It was served with evaporated milk which made the brioche soft but not adding much flavor to it. The price however was quite pricey. For two dishes as a side we paid around $78 with tax and tip.

    I still love Brenda's!!!!!!!…read more I haven't been back in a few years, but I am happy to report: they are still just as great! It was my daughter's first time and she loved it just as much as I did. We came during restaurant week so we decided to get the Creole Sampler so she could try a bunch of different items. (Sampler included red beans and rice, collard greens, fried catfish, hush puppies, plain beignet and gumbo). We also ordered the beignet flight and shrimp and grits. Plenty of food for the 2 of us, plus we had left overs. I can't not order the shrimp and grits. It's just so damn good! It's so rich and flavorful! It came out SUPER hot. Grits and cheese still bubbling. My daughter and I were both surprised she liked the collard greens. She's usually not a fan. She also liked the red beans and rice and she doesn't usually like beans either. That just goes to show how amazing the food is here! We came in around 4something pm on a rainy Sunday. There weren't many people there, but by the time we left it was more than half full. Service was friendly, and there was a band playing, which was a nice touch.

It was something about the flavor of the red powder/ seasoning that left me underwhelmed. All in all, one of my favorite stops while I was in town.
