    The Tenderloin District does not disappoint with the food options! It's currently Restaurant Week, and I've been wanting to try The Roost for awhile. So this was the perfect opportunity to try their menu. As you can tell from the name, they do chicken. And they do it well! The baked chicken leg was moist and had so much flavor from the ancho-chili mustard rub. And I loved the slaw! Normally I don't eat coleslaw because it's usually drenched in dressing, but not this one. It was perfectly dressed and had a good crunch. The rice was good too! It had some earthy flavors to it. My meal also came with sweet potato croquettes with a sriracha aioli, and a brown butter chocolate chip cookie. The croquettes were perfectly fried, and I loved the sweetness of the potato with the slightly spicy sriracha. And the chocolate chip cookie had chocolate at every bite! I came back the next day to get their vegan chickpea corn cakes. Delicious!! I did travel an hour with them, so they lost a little of the crunch. But nonetheless still good. It's not on their main menu (yet?) so if you're vegan, hurry up and get some now before their Restaurant Week menu ends on April 10. The cakes also came with garlic cauliflower roasted perfectly and kale. And the people who work there are super nice and friendly! I noticed they've been getting a lot of online orders, so that's a testament to how good their food is. They do have indoor dining with a few tables just inside. The place is super clean and lots of vertical space. They do have signs asking for vaccination status if you're dining in, fyi, so get that prepared. The Roost is definitely on my go-to list for lunch options in the area. I should've come here sooner!

    ** The following review reflects my delivery experience DURING the COVID-19 pandemic. ** Who rules The Roost? And isn't a roost where chickens sleep rather than where they rotate on a spit like the episode of "Gilligan's Island" where the native chief was barbecuing Gilligan for refusing to marry his daughter. OK, maybe I watched too much TV as a child, but a satisfying chicken leg was also a fond memory from my childhood. The Roost makes a very good one, the $10.95 Leg Quarter Chicken. It was a big, flavorful leg rubbed in an ancho-mustard sauce. The poultry was accompanied by a crunchy adobo buttermilk slaw and mixed greens (since I was forsaking the jasmine rice) (photo: https://bit.ly/2TiQRVq). They offer healthy vegetarian sides, so I ordered two. The first was the $5 Roasted Cauliflower, charred florets tossed in a yogurt-based tahini with garlic and parsley (photo: https://bit.ly/31y3twy). The other was the $5 Shishito Peppers, also charred but coated in preserved lemons that were a tad too buttery for my taste (photo: https://bit.ly/3jqnFq2). Guess I know who rules the roost now. FOOD - 4 stars...a chicken leg with my name on it AMBIANCE - n/a...someday I'll make it over there SERVICE - 4 stars...4 stars...came pretty fast from the roost TOTAL - 4 stars...in the perpetual choice between Ginger and Mary Ann, I choose chicken RELATED - Lost in the Mission? Here's a collection of places I've tried and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2NHtst6

    Green tea sesame cookie

    This review is for their cookies. A friend highly recommended the cookies from The Roost because of the handcrafted cultured brown butter in them, so this was a must-try dessert when in San Francisco. They exceeded expectations and ruined the other cookies in this pastry crawl because of how good they were. Ordered pickup on DoorDash and swung by to get the cookies. Really easy process and got to see the cute and aesthetic interior-- was a huge fan of the chicken mural on the walls! As for the cookies, all of them were incredible. The flavors were very complex and rich in each of the large, soft cookies, and the quality shone through. The green tea cookie had sweet chunks of white chocolate scattered throughout to complement the less-sweet matcha and sesame seeds, the dark chocolate cookie had a deep cocoa flavor with a sweetened peanut butter on top, the chocolate chip cookie had a huge puddle of perfectly gooey chocolate on top with flakey salt, the red velvet cookie's cream cheese complemented the cocoa of the red velvet, and the candied ginger in the snickerdoodle added extra sweet spice to the flavors of a regular snickerdoodle. Of these, our favorites were probably the green tea and chocolate chip cookies. Hopefully can try their chicken and other foods here and at Merchant Roots in the future, solely based on how amazing these cookies were :)

    I tried the red velvet cookie from the roost today and it was great! the cookie had good structure (not to doughy or soft but not too hard). it had a good amount of sweetness and had a little bit of saltiness that would cut the sweetness which I loved! it doesn't hurt that the cookie looks beautiful as well. will have to try their entrees another day!

After several emails from Ben we were able to settle on a menu in just a few days! We were looking for a Hawaiian fusion themed menu and Ben & his staffto came up with a great menu. W Some of our many items that was a huge hit with our guests were Vietnamese vegan rolls, miso glazed black code, a toss green salad with Edamame and Asian dressing, crab deviled eggs, scallops spoon, chimichuri steak crostini, short ribs skewers, Asian style lamb meatballs, and dessert of fruit cups and mini cupcakes were perfect. There was a few dishes that wasn't as successful but overall everyone enjoyed the food. We had pre arranged to have someone to meet the catering staff early for setup but due to unknown delays they did show up until an hour before the service started which also ment they were rushed to setup the food but they did a good job to get the hot and cold foods setup before the end of the service. Overall they did a good job and the food excellent but arriving late to the event and poor timing to replenish empty dishes was disappointing also dessert wasn't served until most guest departed. We enjoyed working with Ben and appreciated the communication once it was established.

For us, we were very set on having Chinese (or at least East Asian) cuisine for our wedding. Le's is one of the few catering options available in the Bay Area. Most caterers we talked to gave us limitations, said they couldn't customize things, but Le's was special. Christina made us feel truly special and carefully listened to us talk about the customizations that we wanted. She would add in her own suggestions and expertise into the discussion, and told us when something would have been too challenging. The final meal that we got was breathtaking, with many of our guests exclaiming that it was the best wedding meal they've ever eaten. In fact, some even said it was some of the best food they ever had. Everyone, from relatives from China to Americans born and raised in Ohio thought the meal was brilliant. But Christina was never afraid of any culinary challenge, and would work diligently on researching and perfecting new recipes to serve us. In terms of recipe development, Christina was nothing short of professional and a perfectionist. Two things stood out specifically. First, was that we also asked if Le's could cater boba for us as well. We already liked the Milk Tea that they demo'd at the initial tasting, but we asked for two very specific drinks in addition to the standard Milk tea. We requested an orange fruit tea, and a sesame milk drink. Christina iterated on both recipes, and came back to us with a tasting. My wife and I, as boba connoisseurs, had extremely nitpicky feedback to give, and she took all of it with grace. Every single of of the drinks were improved to exactly what we had imagined, by the time of our wedding, and the boba catering was genuinely perfect. The second thing that stood out is that we asked for a particularly experimental dish as an hors d'oeuvres, notably a youtiao + shrimp paste dish that was inspired by shrimp toast. Christina told us that this would be a challenge, especially as she would have to source the youtiao, and then actually develop the dish. During our second tasting, she came up with two completely different versions for us to sample. We chose one, but also gave some feedback about what we liked or disliked of each . What came out at the wedding was neither of the options, but something incredible and better than anything we had imagined possible. She had taken the dish back to the kitchen, and worked on the dish until perfection. If you get a chance to ask for a tasting, I implore you to ask for that appetizer. Overall, if you are looking for a Chinese or Vietnamese cuisine for your wedding, you honestly can't go wrong with Le's kitchen.

This was my first time planning a party for 60 people, and I wanted to get it right. I researched a ton of different cuisines, but ultimately came back to City Smoke House because of their flawless track record. Honestly, I wish I hadn't wasted so much time exploring other options because City exceeded even my highest expectations. The party was at a nightclub in the Castro, and the delivery was perfectly on time. The customer service 1000%. They even provided custom cards for each dish so guests knew exactly what they were eating, a small but thoughtful touch that people really appreciated. We ordered brisket, pulled pork, chicken, smoked portobello mushrooms, barbecue sauces, mac & cheese, potato salad, and tossed salad. With an open bar, I didn't expect the food to steal the show, but it did. Friends and family were raving all night, , "Where is this food from?" The next day, my phone was blowing up with texts about the brisket, the mac & cheese, the works. (For the record: I'm extremely picky about mac & cheese, and City nailed it.) My cousin from the Midwest said that the portobello mushrooms were his favorite. The portions were so generous we had enough to host a next-day gathering to enjoy the leftovers, though the mac & cheese disappeared the night of the party so order extra! In a city like San Francisco, where great BBQ is rare, I only wish City Smoke House had a brick-and-mortar location I could frequent. This is a family-owned business that delivers in every possible way, and I'm beyond grateful to them for making my milestone celebration unforgettable. I hope they stay booked and busy.

I noticed there was a kitchen in the back of the market, which made everything even more appetizing--I loved the thought that the food could have been made fresh that same day. It was so hard to choose between the two proteins, spicy pork and beef, because they both looked incredibly delicious. I ended up going with the beef, and it immediately satisfied my craving for a quick and delicious grab-and-go lunch. The beef tasted fresh, and the flavors were bold and robust. I also added the Korean soy garlic fried chicken, and it paired surprisingly well with the kimbap. The fried chicken wasn't quite as crispy as I hoped, but the flavor definitely made up for it. I'll definitely be stopping by again whenever I'm near Woori!

    Amazing little Korean market with premade food! I have a feeling I'll be back many many times.....I…read morelove kimbap but it is honestly a pretty time-consuming dish to make, so I'm really glad I have Woori nearby. The filling to rice ratio is really generous, and I like that they have this bigger assorted version with three flavors- fishcake, tuna, and kimchi so I could try a bit of everything! Loved the kimchi one a lot. Gotta come back to try the other flavors out. Didn't have time to explore the rest of the market, but they seem to carry a bunch of Korean ingredients that are hard to find at a regular grocery store! Lots of nostalgic snacks, seasonings, I even saw fresh Korean rice cake which I'll definitely be trying out next time.
