What to order: Oranges for dessert
About: You really can’t go wrong when picking from the cart at this traditional, family-style Chinese dim sum restaurant. Fresh dumplings, savory meats, and flavorful vegetables push past in a cloud of steam wheeled through the dining room, filling the air with the aroma of ginger, garlic, and soy sauce. The dining room contributes to the authentic experience – alive with the clatter of plates and lively conversation. While the dumplings are the undeniable highlight—don’t skip specialties like the sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf and the perfectly cooked green beans, which are just as memorable. Also don’t miss the jello inspired oranges for dessert- as clever as they are satisfying at the end of the meal. If you’re looking for a casual, quick, and delicious lunch or brunch, this is an excellent choice—an experience that’s best shared with a big party of friends.

What to order: Maccheroncelli
About: Seven Hills is the kind of Italian restaurant that makes you want to move to San Francisco just so you can call it your neighborhood spot. Tucked into Russian Hill, it’s small, cozy, and quietly cool, with the cable car rattling by outside – within nearly arms reach you if you get a table on their covered street space. But the real reason to book a reservation is the pasta. House-made of every variety – these are the stars, and some were even new to me like the maccheroncelli. The tomato sauce is bright, the pasta has the perfect bite, and the ricotta makes the whole thing ridiculously addictive. The squid-ink pasta with Dungeness crab is the kind of dish that makes you suddenly understand why everyone is talking about this restaurant.

What to order Tea Leaf salad
About: : This traditional Burmese and Southeast Asian restaurant is an excellent choice for a casual, satisfying lunch. The standout dish is undoubtedly the Burmese tea leaf salad, which has a unique combination of flavors and textures unlike anything else. The first time I tried tea leaf salad was in northern Thailand, and this version easily holds its own against the one I had there.
Beyond the salad, the menu offers a wide variety of excellent dishes. Favorites include the mango chicken, sesame chicken, and my personal top pick, the Burmese-style curry, which is rich, comforting, and full of flavor. The fresh roti is another must-order, pairing perfectly with the curries and sauces. With an extensive selection of vegetarian options, this restaurant has something to satisfy just about every palate, making it a place that’s easy to recommend to anyone.
