    Brisket
    Janessa M.

    Heard about this place and been wanting try their bbq. Between 2 people we ordered their Mac & Cheese, Smoked Brisket, OG Brisky Bao, and Korean Cowboy Bao. My favorite was their OG Brisky Bao, I enjoyed the brisket and the bbq sauce in the Bao. The Mac & Cheese was pretty standard and paired well with the smoked brisket. Their smoked brisket was good, but thought it could be more tender, it was a bit dry. Service was pretty fast. There's a few seats inside and outdoors to dine-in. I'm glad I tried this place out since there's not a lot of options for bbq in the area.

    1 s-Mac-n-Cheese $8.00 1 Pork Spareribs - Qtr Rack$15.00 The pork spareribs were salty for me. The Mac and cheese was lumpy and bland. I think if it had more flavor, I wouldn't mind its texture. What worked: I ordered the food for pick up. The wait time was reasonable. The restaurant had a few seats for dine in. I love the vibe and ambiance in there. The staff seem nice and chill. I hear good things about them. I want to try their other food options. They ran out with some of them. I did order later in the day. Parking in that area can be tough. Be patient. Be okay with walking long distances. I still recommend to check them. They were featured in "Check, Please! Bay Area."

    Stopped in to try the baos. Unfortunately they only had the OG so tried that. There was a bit of a line and slightly slow but not terrible. Not much space inside to eat but had a few small tables outside. The baos were good sized and meat was delish. It was flavorful and tender. Hope to try more again someday

    I got the 1/4 lb brisket and my friend got the brisket sandwich . I have to see this was a dreamy sized portion and the fat trim was neat and the mostly meaty brisket was exceptional in meat quality . Quite extraordinary . Closer to Golden Gate Park , quick courteous service and out door seating make this place a go to for bbq in SF. The street is off has a great vibe and seems to offer allot of good .

    A place in the crowded Irving Street with BBQ that somewhat looks out of place but I saw pictures of their meat and I had to try it. I came on a weekend, midday and it's mostly a place that you order up front and take to go. Took about 20 minutes to order and get all my food. FOOD: Brisket. A good smoke and a nice crust, but for me, the meat was a bit too dry. Bbq sauce was decent, but not amazing. But overall, a decent brisket, but I would probably skip next time. Comes with a side of pickles that are pretty damn good. Hot link. Honestly, nothing special either. Also a good smoke, but nothing incredibly special either. Dino bone. THIS, this is it. This has all the flavor, with for smoke and a hugely flavorful crust WITH THE ADDITION OF BEING A HUGELY JUICY FATTY PIECE OF MEAT. Possibly just the quality of meat here, but this is so good. Highly recommended. Mac and cheese. Heavy, but also lacking. Likely needs hot sauce to even be desirable, but maybe this was a bad day for they mac and cheese. Brisket bao. One of the big reasons I came, but was honestly a bit disappointed. Too sweet of a sauce that over powered everything else. Brisket was fine, but could barely taste it. The bao was also decent but nothing special. I still think this has a lot of potential and it's possible this version was just a bad day, so maybe I'll try again. Overall, generally on par with standard bay area bbq, maybe a bit higher. The beef rib is excellent and would be my go to place in the city for this. I'd call this a high risk, high reward place. I'll try it again at some point.

    Mac n cheese $8
    Mz J.

    Ordered: Brisket sandwich $19 Mac n cheese $8 They don't mention the bbq stuff are only offered on Fri-Sun or maybe I missed seeing it. I came in the afternoon and most of the items on the menu were sold out. I ordered the brisket sandwich and a side of Mac n cheese. The wait for the food wasn't too bad. The first thing I noticed was I didn't smell any bbq at all and the cashier who was very nice, had her long hair down (not tied up). She was handling the food as she was grabbing them to pack up for customers. I didn't see her wash her hands. When I picked up the brisket sandwich to take a bite, a strand of hair was on the outside wrapper. Not sure if it was mine or the cashier's. I ate the sandwich once I received it and it was cold. The bun was dry and the brisket was tender but didn't have any taste, smokiness, or fat. The bbq sauce helped a little. One look at the Mac n cheese and I could tell it was a few days old. It was piping hot and you know it was reheated. It was super dry, bland, and I couldn't taste any cheese. I could taste the black pepper though. My husband said it tasted like the cheese went bad. I might come back to try their bbq things.

    Was excited to try this out when I heard about it. It seems a bit difficult finding BBQ places around SF, and I'm glad they opened on Irving! I wanted to try the brisket bao, but they sold out. You order on the tablet and they work on it pretty quickly. Workers seem nice! Brisket sandwich - 4.5/5, packed with tender and flavorful meat. Great BBQ sauce and soft buns! Mac and Cheese looked super solid, I think the brisket and sauce really help elevate it

    Eat pork spareribs and brisket - finish with the banana brulee bliss! ...return to try everything on the menu for total satisfaction.

    OG Brisky Bao $10
    Cathrin P C.

    If I could order anything off the menu, I'd go for the Dino ribs but HANG ON -- does that say $39/lb???!!! Scratch that, let's try a bao instead -- $10 each omg, still really expensive for a bao... I mean that bun better be JAM PACKED. The Korean Cowboy bao was sold out by 2pm today so I went with the OG -- I love brisket but I couldn't really taste what's so special about this brisket, especially at this price point. Just looking at the menu, 6 buns would cost $54! Ambiance is also a little too loud and overstimulating for me. It's a small space so all the sounds are amplified. I only had one bun so I got it to go but if I got ribs here, I'd like to eat them immediately and I dunno that I can eat here being that it was so loud. Not sure if Smoking D's will have enough staying power to be on Irving

    Finally tried Smokin D's BBQ in the Sunset. Great to have some Texas BBQ y'all! Everything was delicious and I really like their S'mac & Cheese and the Brisket Sammich. Interesting take on the Brisky Bao, not our favorite on our recent visit, maybe an off batch? It was a tad too lean and dry. Do like the other items. Looking forward to trying more in our next visits. Only thing better would be a portal to Texas without us having to trek there. Ambiance and service are friendly take out spot with just a few stools to sit near the window to eat. We also got a cute sticker: Located on Irving and 23rd Ave.

    Order at the kiosk. Very easy.

    Amazing BBQ, featured on KQED's "Check, Please" show. This place is deserving of the raves and business because of the apparent love & care that the owners and staff put into the quality of the food and their good service. It's got a great small neighborhood feeling in the heart of the mid-Sunset district on Irving Street. We wanted to try the iconic OG Brisket Bao, but we got to the shop too late in the afternoon and they were sold out of that and some other items already. The place is that good. We got the BBQ pulled pork and the beef brisket Mac & cheese for takeout. You can order quantities by the quarter, half or full pound for certain items. The food was very good with just the right amount of smoke, char and seasoning. And it was enough food to fill three adults along with a side salad we added ourselves. They also have ribs, sandwiches and other sides. Prices are reasonable and they have a few small tables and chairs outside. We will be back to try more food!

    Pulled Pork Sandwich ($18.08)
    Elena N.

    Date: Sunday, March 30th, 2025 Party of: 2 Meal: Lunch Delivery Ordered: via DoorDash Time Ordered: around 3pm Times Delivered: first part around 3:20pm, second part around 3:40pm Delivered to: Outer Richmond *Signature Overnight Smoked Brisket -1/2 lb ($22.60) *Pork Spareribs - Half Rack ($31.64) *Smoked Jumbo Chicken Leg Qtr ($11.30) *Pulled Pork Sandwich ($18.08) It was time for lunch and the hubby picked bbq. Found Smokin' D's on DoorDash. Our order arrived quickly since we're right across the park. Tho our delivery was missing everything except the sandwich. And in the container that was supposed to have the rest, came with a beef rib. We were a little perplexed. Didn't even know they offered beef ribs. Luckily we contacted DD and it was resolved right away. The chicken and the spareribs were tasty. Both had a good amount of fat, keeping the meat moist. The brisket was too lean for me. I found it very dry. The beef rib was chewy, but flavorful. It was free, so not really entitled to complaints. I didn't try the pulled pork, but the hubs seemed to enjoy the sando. It was a lil cold due to the wait for the rest of the food. I found the bbq sauce okay. A lil too sweet for my palate. Added a bunch of hot sauces I had at home for some spice. SF doesn't have a lot of decent bbq spots, so glad we found this one. A pretty good option when the craving hits. And close to home. REVIEW #3749

    We kicked off the night excited to try Smokin D's after hearing all the rave reviews on social media about their brisket, ribs, mac & cheese, corn bread, baos, ,only to find most of it sold out by dinnertime. We pivoted to their bao menu instead and tried the "Korean Cowboy" with pulled pork, spicy gochujang sauce, and Chinese milk bread. It definitely brought the heat ... but for $10.25 each, it was not worth it. My advice is to go early and order take out since they sell out fast and there is limited seating. I've walked by this Texas style BBQ place many times and the smell is AMAZING !

    Ask the Community - Smokin D’s BBQ

    I see meals in the pictures (meat, bread, mac). But the menu is just by the lbs meat ($40/lbs). How can a single hungry dude grab lunch without spending $60 for meat and mac?

    You can buy a 1/4 or 1/2 lb

    How's the parking situation? Is it street parking, private parking lot or if there's a garage nearby?

    Street parking with meters unless you park a little farther away.

    Wondering what smoker they are using and is it true post oak? Will there be other offerings like Chuck burnt ends, smoked duck, pork belly?

    Was this guy ever at the pop up on third Street in SF in the Bayview district?

Mr. Banh Mi is a small hole-in-the-wall with a pickup window and a tiny interior counter and kitchen.

We ate half at the beginning of our walk and saved the other half for later in the day at Golden Gate Park. The BBQ pork had a great sauce on it and plenty of jalapeños and pickled veggies, mostly carrots, and not quite enough daikon for me personally, but it was absolutely loaded with meat and vegetables. It was delicious when fresh, but somehow even better a few hours later when I finished the second half. The sauce had soaked into the bread more, and the flavors really came together. I did miss the usual huge helping of buttery Vietnamese mayo, and there was no pâté, which was a slight disappointment for me. It did feel a little dry at first since the juicy marinated BBQ pork had to provide most of the moisture. That said, the bread was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and everything tasted super fresh. Overall, this was the perfect on-the-go meal, and I would definitely come back next time I'm heading to Golden Gate Park.
